Yes.
On the bright side, it was nice to see the budget edition initial release price cut from 475 to 375.
On the dark side... ALL Magna's releases for 2009 have been budget editions. Have they slowed down on bringing in imported DVDs?
My guess is that they will only Import 'high profile' titles. The fact that Eagle Eye and Tropic Thunder, their two high profile title are now available on VCD but not DVD seems to indicate that. Though I could be wrong...
Also nice new price point. Make less sense to wait for bargain for titles you'd like. They are DVD9, BTW, at least Open Season 2 is...
Also Tinkerbell collector's edition giftset, doesn't have the book inside. Lucky for me, I asked to open one otherwise I might have bought it. The Astro I went, doesn't have any 'book' so either it's still to be delivered or the poster (Standee) is wrong... better to wait awhile if you are interested in the giftset...
I don't think Tinkerbell is the direct-to-home DVD that triggered Lasseter and Co. to stop production of all those projects. Tinkerbell is part of a trilogy, but it's targetted to children of a lesser age, especially girls. And most reviews gives it a thumbs-up if you are in that age group, that is...
