Can mcarver (or anyone else) confirm this either way? I ask because www.rareoopdvds.com still listing it as OOP right there on their front page.

It has now been updated. Supposedly "1900" is NOT going OOP. It appears the UPC was somehow mixed-up with the UPC for "Heat" which IS going OOP. Thank god nudity and a three-way hand-job are still as American as apple pie...

Hand jobs and apple pie... mmm mmm good!

you really got it all wrong.

1900 was listed as OOP by Paramount, but then a week later it was back in print.

Heat 2 disc limited edition on the other hand is OOP, but there is another Heat DVD with a different UPC that has the 2 disc and it still in print.

Ditto. Disney take their own films OOP without any explanation and then complain about the all the bootlegs and piracy and all that shit. Disney, these is simple business of supply and demand. If you supply your DVDs for each generation of children whose parents want them to see all the Disney classics and not so classics, then you could make a huge profit and a lot of people would not pay attention to the bootlegs available around the world.

I smell an American Pie spin-off coming.

probably the luckiest purchase i ever had was back when i first started buying dvds back in 1997 and 1998 when i was at suncoast motion picture the day that little shop of horrors was released, i picked it up for 29.99 then found out 3 days latter it was recalled cause frank oz was mad about it being released with the alternate ending.

i still have that dvd today and is one of the centerpieces of my collection cause of how rare it is, while i can see people being upset by things like the munich and jar head releases. i dont let it upset me to much, i actually love it part of the fun for me in getting some titles is the hunt for them. the only time i get upset is when for some reason i dont have tuesday off work and a i miss a title cause i was stuck working.

That is a BUSINESS issue, not a logistical or technical issue. Business issues are completely artificial - the equivalent of Disney "vaulting" a movie. The only difference is that while Disney purposely abuses their monopoly position, other companies do it through a combination of incompetence and apathy.


Don't focus on the size of the run. Yes, the costs per unit do go up the smaller the run, but only by a limited amount. A 100 unit run is probably in the neighborhood of 2x the cost per unit of the 5K run, inclusive of all incidentals like shipping, storage, etc. It is certainly reasonable for low-volume titles to have pricing that reflects the higher logistics costs. For example, "The Last Days of Disco" at ~$20 would not be out of line despite the wal-mart bin pricing of movies from the same era for $4. But $84 (lowest price at Amazon, currently not even listed on Ebay) is far beyond reasonable.

You realize the HD DVD is the same thing, right?

Disney advertising: Hurry up! It's your last chance to buy *insert Disney classic here* before it goes into the vault and is GONE FOREVER! And if you don't buy, your children will NEVER GET TO ENJOY our movies and you're HORRIBLE PARENTS!

There should be a law that states that any DVD released after the close of a DDD 20% off sale must stay in print, at a minimum, until the end of the next such sale.

Well, I feel pretty stupid for buying a copy at full MSRP a few days ago when I saw it at Borders. Glad I haven't opened it yet.

Just a heads-up:

All of the local Borders Books stores I've been to (here in Dallas, TX) still have multiple copies of the OLDBOY Special Edition tin. YMMV but if anyone's still looking, that'd be a good place to start. They want $39.99 but with the current 20% off coupon it's not a bad deal. Plus you can use any Holiday Rewards you've earned right now (with the coupon and $16.12 in Holiday Rewards I ended up paying only a little over $17 for it!!!!!!!)

P.S. for anyone here, I've been to the Lewisville, Preston Road, and Lover's Lane stores. All are in-stock as of 12:00 noon today.

Also, here's the link for the 20% off coupon (good through 4/19/07):

hey! that was weeks ago, iam a different person now,lol.sorry though.

I'd like to know where "DVD collectors" (at least those complaining about discs going OOP) get the idea that every title they are interested in should be kept available until they decide they want to buy it.

The whole idea behind "collecting" (at least in other arenas) is to pick and choose what you get because you know that it isn't going to be around forever. Hence the word "collectible"... worthy of collecting and gathering.

Otherwise, it is just "acquiring stuff". :lol:


I'm talking about "DVD collectors" specifically, not those who build a personal video library.
