any of those blu ray players will do. you will need to search for a firmware though to downgrade it so it can use the 9113 code i think it is. its best buys house brand.

my only complaint is the damn thing does not save spots on a disc no matter the disc. dvd or blu ray. turn it off and it has to start from the beginning. its a minor complaint but eh its region free right? also a common complaint is the internet on it is wonky so just update it via USB and dont use its netflix features or anything or BS Live.

Kazé UK is the licensor and Manga UK is the distributor. Be aware that Kazé UK will be putting 25 episodes on 2 Blu-ray discs (they were done that way for the French and German sets as well from the respective European Kazé branch). And these releases are pretty much guaranteed to be locked to Region B.

I just want Hayate the Combat Butler #8... :(

Well, I'll finally receive the final batch of Bandai stuff I need later this week. Ordered Saber Marionette J to X collection and Hayate the Combat Butler Vol. 3 & 6. Still need Hayate Vol. 8 & Kannagi Vol. 1, but I know I'll never find either disc for under $20, so just giving up on those two.

It's just weird to see the oddest titles you order a couple months ago rise up in price due to going OOP. Like paying $5 for Saber Marionette J Again back in October and now the cheapest, used disc-only copy is going for $24 online. Strangely, besides Gundam 00, 08th MS Team & 0083 collections, I haven't really seen a high price jump for Gundam shows.

I got Escaflowne: Complete Collection from a third party seller on Amazon. Should the oversized case be clear?

Mine isn't.

I did a google search and saw a few pics that had clear cases. So maybe one batch had them? But the ones I've seen use the standard oversized black cases.

The 3rd party seller wasn't ExpressMedia/Sourcemedia/Direct Liquidations(aka Noram), was it? Because I've had a ton of DVDs from them that have had the cases swapped out.

The seller was Standing Ovation. I can still dispute it if I need to. It's a sealed supposedly brand new copy. I don't want to open it to check the contents if I don't have to.

Bebop's last few batches were in clear cases, so it might be the same thing. As long as the discs work, and there is 8 of them, there shouldn't be a problem.

I think its normal. I thought the same when I got Gundam 00 because season one was clear and season two was black, but all the discs turned out to be official.

It's weird, I've only ever seen one copy of 00 Season 2 in the wild with a black case while the rest were clear. Needless to say I got a clear one to match my S1 copy.

Mine came that way.

Bandai uses w/e cases they have on hand at the time of the packaging. So its all good.

Good to know. I also have a clear individual volume of Ronin Warriors from a long time ago still sealed. That should be legitimate as well?

Yes, again Bandai uses w/e cases are laying around in the factory when they pack the sets :P

My Escaflowne is a clear case, but I got it from DeepDiscount a year or more ago.

While we are on the subject of odd questions about Bandai, my Volume 1 + Volume 2 of .hack//Sign says "Platinum Series" on the front-top of the artwork DVD case. While my Vol3-6 all say "Platinum Edition". Normal or what does that mean?

My other sets in volumes, by comparison, Witch Hunter Robin Vol1-6 all say "Platinum Edition" while Big O and Saber J to X have no platinum label mention.

Platinum Edition (1 disc sets) is just a name to spice up a single to make it seem special, like when comedies get stupid names for their sets. Before doing the Anime Legends box sets, Bandai began rereleasing some of their discs in 2-disc sets. Kinda like what FUNimation did with Kiddy Grade and Tenchi Muyo GXP.

Was missing Gundam Zeta Collection 2 which I just ordered from the Right Stuf. I also got Outlaw Star and Wolf's Rain from gohastings.com a little while back. Had to reorder Ghost Slayers Ayashi because they sent me the wrong dvd.

Can anyone explain why the heck this keeps jumping up in price? http://www.amazon.com/Saber-Marionet...onette+j+again

It's doubled in price in the span of a week. Did it get a low print run or something compared to the rest of the series?
