Not sure how this is a deal...

I'd have loved to get the FFXIII demo here

Perhaps someone can explain the appeal of this movie to me? I absolutely loved the game but I thought this movie was a nicely animated piece of crap.

It's rumored that Microsoft has something to do with this but there's no confirmation. Anyway, I'm in for one when it's released.

greenrocks

Yeah, I know. I'm SOO sad! Why can't we get the FF13 demo?! 2010 is too long! =/

They should make FF13 as the promo if we PRE-order! To push the sale real good.

04-09-2009, 08:21 PM

I thought the movie was ok, not great though. I wouldn't pay $26 for this but I guess it's a fair price and I'd definitely like to see it on blu-ray. I'm guessing the price will drop pretty quick after its released into the $15-20 range.

Raye

It just got posted guys, and it's a Sony BR. This is about the standard price. Besides it'll drop to about $23-25 closer to release.

I hope those people who say they're not gonna buy it w/o the demo are not gonna spend $60 for this on play-asia. I actually love this movie (despite the terrible dialogue) and won't spend extra for a demo. I just want the movie with english and jp dub.

most likely anyone who was not BIG into FFVII like i was (it was my life from 5th grade to senior yr of high school...and even 5 yrs later still continues to be my favorite and most played through game of all time) will not be too enthused about this..but let me tell you the second the notification came in..I already had it on pre-order! STFU if you don't want this and go be cynical somewhere else about the film...The TRUE fans will buy this no matter what.

Kirin Lemon

The TRUE fans will buy this no matter what.

I thought the TRUE fans would recognize it as a soulless cash-in (even moreso, considering it's already had TWO releases on DVD, and another on UMD) with a whole lot of style but zero substance. Sure, it's a damn pretty cash-in, but... that's about it.

... Not to mention its very existence craps all over the ending to the game. ;)

I don't know what to consider myself. I'm just a fanatic, I bought the limited edition FF7 PSP. But I never bought the previous versions of advent children. And the difference between Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete and the previous released versions would be the extra scenes.

I'll be buying this for sure. I don't care if it's not a steal at the posted price, I loved the movie and have been waiting for the blu-ray ever since I got my player. Unfortunately I'm about to move, so I'll have to wait until I'm done with that before ordering.

I don't care that this doesn't come with the demo as I'm almost positive I wouldn't play it, anyway. I'd rather wait for the full game to come out instead of getting a tease. Still, it would've been nice for it to be included just because.

That said, I'm still probably going to wait for it to be a little bit cheaper.

And a review posted on the amazon web-site is claiming it be the Complete.. but I don't know who to believe!

Kirin Lemon

04-10-2009, 03:38 PM

Advent Children Complete is the only Blu-ray version of the film that exists, so yes, it's that version. Don't get rid of your DVDs just yet, though - Complete doesn't include the Last Order OVA from the Limited Edition DVD release.

philmcfly

Nope, not going to do that. It's just lame they won't release a definitive version (FFXIII demo, Last Order OVA, etc).

FFVII was the first time that Square figured that they could show major plot points with cinematics, but they never really put much into it until FFVIII. But if you want to see the original scenes I'm sure you could youtube them (hopefully without Linkin Park music).

But I can't wait for my copy of AC, I ordered Serenity with it.

Wow. I got my copy from Amazon today. I didn't know the movie is nearly a half hour longer on the blu-ray release. Very nice, it looked awesome and the added scenes are mostly amazing. For those that haven't seen the new one, lets just say the highway chase scene is a little more crazy now. A must for FFVII fans.

While I don't know if Amazon ships them with slipcovers or not, I do know for sure that there is a version with them. When I said don't quote me on that, I was referring to the part about the top artwork having text. I saw Advent Children on Blu at both Target and Best Buy today, and they both came with slipcovers.

06-21-2009, 03:03 AM

I just wanted to confirm the slipcover part.

I just asked a friend who bought it who confirmed it comes with slipcover.

The reason i asked is because i went to bestbuy today and saw several copies of FF7:ACC on blu ray with no slip covers at all.

I think Best Buy is on some sort of "Let's fuck over our customers" plan (with their Blu's at least). I saw Gran Torino earlier this week at Target with a slipcover. When I went to BestBuy today to buy it, none of their copies came with one (at both the stores I went to). It was also priced at $29.99 even though their website states that it should be on sale at $26.99.

I realized it's because theirs isn't the "Special Edition" with a Digital Copy. Either way, it's pretty bullshit if you ask me.

hey um since this is a thread about amazon i had a question about returning items to them. sry if this is wrong place but just had a question so i didnt want to make a new thread. how is their return policy like. cuz i returned infamous to them since i got it during the target b2g1 sale. they only refunded me 22 dollars. i bought it for 54 and they took out the shipping and a restocking fee that was like 27 dollars. is this correct or should i complain cuz that is crazy. i would of just kept it if i knew it was like that.

Wow, I never thought I'd hear about people complaining that their movie DIDN'T come with a stupid cardboard cover. It's the same thing that's on the cover, it's just copied onto a piece of cardboard. I immediately throw them away; they're just one useless thing between me and watching the movie when I want to. They're only worthwhile for retail stores so they can draw your eye to the movie on the shelf with their shiny finish. But whatever, I guess you guys are hardcore super-fans. Good luck getting Amazon to send you another one just for that.

robbart914

08-16-2009, 10:07 AM

IMO it's not worth it to ship it back to Amazon and wait for another copy. Just buy one with a slipcover whenever you end up going to a store that sells Blu's, and then return the one Amazon sent you.

The UPCs are theoretically the same so no reason why this wouldn't work. They usually have a slit in the cover even, and not a UPC on the actual slipcover, to keep people from sticking a more expensive movie inside.

I can't say I'm much for slip covers. I feel they're a bit obtrusive on the shelf since not all releases have them, and would rather the release not come with it, but don't feel strongly enough to throw it out. I did, however, just pick up the X-men Coll 1 and the 3-D touches make it look very nice. But most of the time it's just a rehash of the cover art and I could honestly care less.

Just a rec that if I wanted FF:AC being a bit obtrusive, their are steelbooks out there. I bet those are nice.

Sofa King Kool

08-16-2009, 11:24 AM

Kind of disappointed to hear this may not be coming with a slip cover. Don't ask me why, but I really like slip covers, they look so much more...official, for some reason. Unfortunately, it would probably bother me enough to do what lolwut? suggested and swap it out at Best Buy or something.

Raye

08-16-2009, 05:42 PM

Amazon acknowledged my request and allowed me to exchange. My new copy is already shipping and I just have to send back the one I have. (It's free to do so BTW since Amazon provides the mailing label.) If I don't get it this time since I wonder if the people who pack the items even know what I'm talking about, then odds are that Amazon has run out of copies with the slipcase. Perhaps the slipcase was exclusive to the first release of the BD.

And personally I think that if I don't get a slipcase that normally comes with an item, I feel gyped.

Megalith

08-16-2009, 08:39 PM

I had the same problem, but all the slipcovers left at the Target and Best Buy stores I checked were all banged up with fucked up corners. It's unfortunate that I need everything mint.

I didn't realize there were slip cases with these. I ordered one from DD during the sale and the one I finally got (the 1st one was lost/stolen/shipped to the wrong address... I never got it) didn't have a slip case. If I knew, I would've exchanged it but I already opened it. Oh well.

Got mine today and I did receive a slip cover, although it was shipped from their shithole KY warehouse so it's a little beat up around the edges...
What the heck? I received my replacement copy today and I still didn't receive a slipcase. *sigh* Guess I'm just going to go to Best Buy, buy another copy, then return it without the slipcase a few days later.

Edit: I sent an e-mail to Amazon CS about this and received a response saying that if I can find the BD at a local retailer with the slipcase, they'll reimburse me the entire cost. So uh... Basically, Amazon is paying me to buy from their competition and giving me an extra copy of Advent Children on BD? Score.

Edit 2: Couldn't find FF7:ACC at ANY stores. (WTH, is this a niche title or something? -_-) Contacted Amazon. They refunded me the cost of FF7:ACC that I bought from them and told me to keep it. So I got it for free. Yay for Amazon CS. Damn that slipcase, though.
