And yet, nobody is going to buy the overpriced set.

Wait for six months to one year and buy them for a lot less. One year after the The Wings of the Honneamise Blu-Ray/DVD pack was released I purchase the pack brand new from ebay for $37 sealed with priority mail (2-3 days) shipping and insurance. And many places still want $80 for it brand new.
Wait for a little while, then check ebay, some anime stores, and Amazon Marketplace. Amazon Marketplace have the Gunbuster collection brand new for low as $30 with priority mail shipping sealed. I check ebay and you can get the Gunbuster 2 DVDs for low as $9.95 (MSRP is $39.99 per disc). It sucks that you have to wait for a little while, but it'll save you money in the long run. I won't be surprised that Freedom in a year will be around $60-$80 brand new. |

Yeah, I would say it wont be too long before it goes down in price. Though, I wonder when Blu ray will be more like DVD.

Well there are online discounts. It's doubtful that anyone is paying $139.99. |

Yeah, it'll be around $100 (30% off is typical), but that's still far too much for a 6 episode series. I paid less than $60 for the Band of Brothers Blu-ray set.

I can change my name to nobody Well for me i was planning to buy the Japanese release but when i found out about the US release i decided to go for it to save on the shipping cost and benefit from the online discount. Perhaps i was looking at it from a different perspective but for me it's an ok price.

I wouldn't pay $140 for a 26 episode boxset, blu-ray or not.
But that might just be me. |

Who, pray tell, is REALLY going to pay $140 for Freedom, Blu-Ray or otherwise?
I know I won't, and even then not unless it gets a bilingual re-release. No dub, no sale. |

Actually, it's got a dub, but it's only 2.0; if they had made it lossless 5.1, I might have picked it up for that $80.

I'd pay 140 for a 26 episode series, especially on blu-ray. The fact of the matter is, however, that I usually pay more like 50-75. |

I'd pay for it, if it guaranteed that the music issues wouldn't be a problem. (*cough* WKRP *cough*) |

$80 isn't to bad. I just wonder what made them decide to put the MSRP at $140.
