| 22:36:17 [nathanbp] | wow, someone started scanslating Sangatsu no Lion again |
| 22:42:37 [nathanbp] | WTF? The limited edition Madoka DVDs are $75 each!? |
| 22:42:50 [Puyopuyo] | Why are you surprised? |
| 22:43:45 [nathanbp] | That's more than Haruhi or Eva platinum? |
| 22:44:31 [Puyopuyo] | Isn't Aniplex doing it directly? |
| 22:44:39 [Puyopuyo] | Their pricing scheme is closer to the Japanese pricing. |
| 22:44:53 [Puyopuyo] | So everything is a lot pricier than what we'd be used to. |
| 22:45:08 [nathanbp] | Yeah, published by Aniplex of America |
| 22:45:35 [Puyopuyo] | So yeah, obscenely high prices are to be expected. |
| 22:45:45 [Puyopuyo] | I'm not sure how they expect the anime industry to survive with prices like that. |
| 22:46:48 [nathanbp] | Well, the normal DVDs are only $30 each |
| 22:47:03 [nathanbp] | and presumably they'll release a box set afterwards for like $50 total |
| 22:47:31 [Puyopuyo] | Hopefully. |
| 22:48:13 [nathanbp] | I'm still kinda tempted to buy it >_> http://www.rightstuf.com/cms/action/ItemDescription?ItemDescriptionTypeName=ALTERNATE_IMAGE_1&ItemName=aoa1201l&LanguageIsoName=en |
| 22:51:41 [Puyopuyo] | Do you really need it? |
| 22:51:53 [Puyopuyo] | I mean, you don't even have a Blu-ray player. |
| 22:52:27 [nathanbp] | ? it has both a DVD and Blu-ray disc |
| 22:52:46 [nathanbp] | brb starting laundry |
| 22:53:30 [Puyopuyo] | Yeah, you're paying 40 dollars more, perhaps 20 of which is going toward owning a Blu-ray copy. |
| 22:57:37 [nathanbp] | most of the difference is in the extras |
| 22:58:25 [nathanbp] | the question is, are all the extras over 3 discs worth paying $225 for? |
| 23:27:50 [Puyopuyo] | Are they? I'd say no. |
| 23:28:05 [Puyopuyo] | I start being unhappy when I'm paying more than 100 dollars for a series. |
| 23:38:37 [nathanbp] | Yeah, probably not...tempting tho... |
| 23:38:49 [nathanbp] | Maybe I'll preorder the first one and see how much I like it >_> |
| 23:38:53 [nathanbp] | not not get the rest if I don't |
| 23:39:07 [nathanbp] | So this is what I just did to read my work e-mail: |
| 23:39:31 [nathanbp] | From the Linux VM on my personal desktop at home, I VPNed into our corporate network |
| 23:39:49 [nathanbp] | then I SSHed into the computer that bridges our corporate network with out local network |
| 23:40:03 [nathanbp] | then I used an SSH tunnel to VNC into my workstation at work |
| 23:40:16 [nathanbp] | then I used remote desktop to log into my laptop at work |
| 23:40:20 [nathanbp] | and used that to read my e-mail |
| 23:40:21 [nathanbp] | >_> |
| 23:57:03 [Puyopuyo] | >_> |
