Honestly that should be the BLURAY price. There is no legit reason why a bluray version should cost more than 10 US dollars EXTRA over the dvd version. |

You shouldn't feel cheated by Aniplex. Just think of how good we have it for pricing compared to Japan. These $500 sets are common practice in japan. While over here we get far more for far less and have done for along time. Standard practice in Japan is two episodes a volume. And then each volume costing a HUGE amount more than the American counterpart. Even Aniplex's Blu Ray Standard Releases of Madoka Magica are far cheaper compared to the Japanese Versions. And ours have four episodes each not two. Aniplex USA are a Niche company within a Niche industry and their buisness strategies are likely to reflect that throughout their Span of exsistance. Aniplex Japan wont allow the USA arm to cause any buisness issues for them in Japan. The clash of Blu Ray regions means the Import Day and Date Structure of Releases is likely to continue for all releases and be the only way to get the shows in HD. Its pretty cool they do that at all tho' for those who are willing to spend the cash (not me included). DVD re-releases in nice boxsets like Blue Excosist and Durarara will be enough to stop me feeling to frustrated. |

Licensing costs, replication, etc. There are multitude of reasons. But, $100 MSRP for KnK...if that was the case isn't bad considering you are getting seven movies in one package that could easily go for $20-$25 a movie if released seperately (and it was released seperately first in Japan...so lucky us we get a boxset). |

obviously you have no idea what you are talking about since sony charges a fee to release discs on bluray they should cost more
anyway, you people should stop buying DVDs; now you've gone and encouraged aniplex to release more DVDs... |

Oh for god's sake Aniplex, release some freaking blurays. That was the reason I didn't buy OreImo the first time around. I just found out about Kara no Kyoukai fairly recently and have been looking to find some way to watch it legally (all I had found was PSN), but no bluray for that either?
Really, people need to stop buying dvds and the industry needs to start doing bluray only releases to push the consumer to upgrade to bluray. I mean come on...

Are you kidding? I still buy used VHS tapes from time to time, my VCR is hooked up to my HD TV. I was still buying new tapes well after DVDs were established and anime companies were still making them. Not everyone just adopts the newest thing immediately. I've got a few BD movies, but I still go for DVDs for series. Emerje |

Dammit, you could have kept that Oreimo boxset you bought unopened, sold it for $2,000, bought the Kara no Kyoukai Blu-rays and then rebought Oreimo for cheap! But noooo, you had to think, "well at least this way I have ONE limited edition thing in my collection". Damn you sensible planning, why must you elude me?!
Welp, time to set up an account on Amazon marketplace and see what I can get for it. |

I've heard really great things about Kara no Kyoukai and it sounds like it would be best viewed on Blu-ray but then I realised that I'm in a different Blu-ray region so wouldn't be able to import and play one anyway
Aniplex license = potential Siren license? *hopes* |

Yeah, and know how much they paid for an Oreimo BD release? About $720 MSRP at the current conversion rate. Know how much those who bought Aniplex USA release of Oreimo paid (while it was still in stock)? $75 MSRP. We paid literally just over 10% of what Japan paid for BluRay. When you pay 90% less you're definitely going to get an inferior product. |

 That's exactly what I was thinking. All the copies I have seen were many hundreds of dollars.

Your basic good news/bad news scenario for me. Delighted another release of Garden of Sinners is coming out, but really bummed it won't be BD. I'm normally not a "gimme BD or gimme nothing" kind of guy, but Garden of Sinners is definitely one of those visually stunning works that really benefits from BD. Still this is better than no new GoS release at all.

I would recommend posting on Aniplex's facebook page if you are dissatisfied with the fact that it will be dvd-only. May as well tell them.
