You must have money to burn, Japschin. No offence, but if I had a grand to spend it wouldn't be on anime.
Anyway, the last DVD I bought was the R3 of Lost in Translation mainly because it was cheaper than the R1 and R2.
ETA: Okay, not a grand, but £600.
No offence taken. Usually, if I want something, I get it. I don't really think about how much it cost unless I totally busted my bank account and credit cards. Really LE stuffs, I'm more than willing to take out $ to buy them.
£600 or $1.2k, you can't buy anything much, at least I don't know what can I buy with that amt. Can't buy a car, can't buy me another plasma tv etc.
What would you buy?
Have you watched Lost in Translation yet? First time I watched it, I kept wondering when would something interesting appear....watched only an hour then put in another movie:p
2nd time, just to watch the ending....The movie just wasn't what I expected. Actually I thought R3 movies cost as much as R1s, unless they are bootlegs, sometimes more expensive? Just wondering coz the last time I was in HK, they were selling US movies for HK$250 = US$32. It's the same cover as those in US but only with extra Chinese words.

At the moment I would clear some debts and pay for some job training - either sub-editing, proofreading or some course in QuarkXpress or MS Office programs. I feel that the fact that I can't boast a good level of competence with these applications is affecting my job prospects.
If it was any other time I would probably spend the money on building a new PC.

LOT was one of the most amazing films I've seen recently. You're right not a lot happens. However, I was affected by the sense of loneliness that is captured in the film; the need to reach out for a familiar spirit, for something that isn't sex or the material. Beautiful with an excellent soundtrack though I admit that the film is not for everyone.

The DVD was £5 cheaper than the cheapest I could buy the R1 or R2 and cost £7.99 (US$14.81). It probably doesn't sound much of a bargain to you because the £ is still so strong against the $, but £5 is a fairly significant margin to me.
The R3 is identical to the other regions (I checked a very useful DVD comparison site to make sure) and, as you said, the cover is the same albeit with an additional cardboard slip-cover.

Simpsons volume 3. It RULES. It has my favorite episode on it too. The one Where Mr Burns sells the Nuke Plant to the Germans. My fave thing to quote from him is in that episode...where he goes to Moes and just as he enters he says to Smithers.."Ahh the murthless laugh of the damned." OMG Burns is so EVIL.
