Someone reminded me of the great Chinese film "JuDou" and I thought about getting a DVD. CD Now only has copies from resellers at outrageous prices--i.e. $175 for a new copy
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/offering/list/-/6305460183/all/r ...But there are copies on eBay for quite reasonable prices
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=617&item=3397492970&rd=1Part of the situation is that there are copies from different parts of the world--from China (and only in Mandarin w/ no subtitiles) and there WAS a US copy that's now out of print (subtitled).
Any reason for the wide differneces in price???
Follow Ups:
What you should look for is a true Panavision wide screen transfer, if indeed one exisits. The ones I've seen are pan and scan.
The only DVD release I've seen is foolscreen - and it's a crime to buthcher this gorgeous film.Upon reflection, once you've seen it a couple times, the subtitles are almost unnecessary. Or maybe there's a PAL version from England or Oz?
You have to be careful whether it is a DVD or a VCD; VCDs are quite common in Asia, and are considerably cheaper, and of low quality. But $175 dollars is outragous.
