Woohoo!! This has been on my wish list and I thought I'd have to settle for a used copy. However, one of my local stores had 3 new copies! Score!

There was a store around here that had a new sealed copy of the 3 disc LE of Suspiria, and I'm feeling lucky now, I may go check it out!

congrats, by chance was it a Hastings? My local one still has 5 sealed copies of the Cinderella Man 2-disc, for $40 a pop though!

zombeaner

Nope, its a local chain. Movie Trading Company. And it was under $30!

These are all gonna get re-released sooo um well come to your own conclusion.

kylerayner

When is it suppose to be re-released?

zombeaner

Come on man, let me have my moment!

The Valeyard

I'm sorry. You have to post in a few more Threads before you're allowed to have your moment.


Welcome to the Forum.

The Valeyard

PS - I hope this does get a re-issue. I completely missed out on the first batch and refuse to pay eBay prices for it.

zombeaner

Well, mine was $26.99. I figured that its a little higher than first week prices, but I REALLY wanted it and I saw people on this forum selling copies for $40, so why not!

The Valeyard

That's a great deal considering the current prices. Enjoy your find.

visitor Q

Yeah, there's been one sitting in a local Newbury's for about 3 months now. $30 ... not a huge demand unfortuately. Sucks .. otherwise I'd turn into a scummy, pilfering, exploiting SOB profiteer and demand at least $40 for it

But definately Josh .. enjoy your find!!! It is an excellent film and DVD presentation!

Giles

remind me, what were the exclusives on the CE?

visitor Q

Not much .... http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=9205

.. besides of course, the cool picture on the slipcover!!!

Giles

I really want an explanation as to why Universal is doing this? Jarhead, Munich, United 93 - release a two disc CE, and then yank it off the market - this is becoming a really annoying trend.

zombeaner

I saw an article about this somewhere, about how the special edition sales are plummeting after the first week, and some don't even sell well then. Walk the Line is another recent example of a film with a cool 2 disc presentation (not too heavy on the extras though) that went OOP quickly.

zombeaner

Yeah, not a whole lot, but the other release is TOTALLY bare-bones, at least this has some stuff on disc 2. I went through a little of it and it looks engaging. Plus the cool cover and slip-cover and booklet.

So if anyone else in Dallas is looking for this, Movie Trading Company on Greenville has two more new sealed compies.

visitor Q

Best Buy is undercutting a lot of the competition (namely, a company that I work for is about all I can say) by releasing "exclusive" editions. After talking to my company's buyer, I have an inkling that based on Best Buy's tactics (since he can't seem to get in - if not for only a lack of selling power in a limited market) .. furthermore; Walmart, CC, Target ... these editions are simply profit based buy ins. .. and of course the "limited" nature is driving sales (and exposure) for Universal, among others. If they can double/triple the cash - versus the bare boned releases - they'll do it. You figure that the vast percentage of the bare bone releases of all these titles will be selling new at some point for less than $10. It's all about moving inventory and induction of sales by generating interest - simple. Smart idea if you ask me. And it's exactly what Universal is doing.

I'm one of those "______" that owns some of the more recent limited release schemes .. Munich, United 93, Jarhead and the Best Buy Exclusive set of V4V. Silly .. maybe. But I'm not the only one that has caught an interest in this niche market ....

Besides, I enjoy/appreciate each one of these releases for what they're worth and would do it again .. as long as it's a film worth owning in the first place.

dpz301

i agree with what visitor q says last. if it's worth owning in the first place, i'll go get the limited 2 disc edition.

good find on munich though.

The Valeyard

Hey, anyone ever pick up the Wal-Mart Bonus DVD that was offered with the Single Disc edition?

Sabrett

I got this for $1 over the summer. The boardwalk by me had a wheel, you bet a dollar and if it lands on your spot, you get any 2 DVDs. So I won on my first try, and got this one, and Lady and the Tramp II.

dvd_luver

Hehe. Way to go! Good for you.

DVDTalker002

congrats now you own a terrible movie.

Very well said. I agree with your perspective. Its clever marketing and I enjoy collecting these CEs as well. But its just I am a cheapa$$ and will not part with double digit $ prices.
