A CLIP BOX 1998-2011 on DVD & Blu-ray (01.01.2012) ~III~

[elaniel]

I haven't watched those ones yet, I will get to them over the weekend. (A lot of PV's to go through)

I may be wrong with Another Song and Why... though. They just look like a significant quality jump from the others.

The only thing that hurts the sales are the overprized stuff and the stupid extras

Well if ANother Song is 720p upscaled to 1080i it will still look a whole lot better than the other ones so...

wow.. people are bashing each other so much. I download everything for backups and buy... if someone wants to take the time to upload stuff for others to enjoy how is that hurting you?

When I get the cash I will be buying this regardless of upscale crap.

I don't think releases like this are made to build up sales.

And the 'overpriced' thing is typical for Japan.

[zeejia]

Can someone kindly post some photos of the booklet pages? I like to know how is it like really. Thanks so much!

[yukito]

I haven't see this much drama since I watched Paris Hilton my new BFF...
Anyways for the people that are generous good for them, for the ones that just want to flaunt themselves because they buy every little thing godess ayu releases, well good for them too, I wish I could too, maybe someday, but for now I would like to enjoy this good quality release regardless of upscale or not until I'll be able to buy it.

[koumori]

Did people seriously say that people who can't afford the box don't deserve to see the videos? Wow. New low for all of you.

Anyway, the box looks really nice..shame about that bag. Thinking of buying this later this year Thanks to everyone who uploaded photos of their purchase!

[elaniel]

People haven't said they don't DESERVE to view them from what I can tell. Just that it is effectively stealing by posting these up for download. Some people have a very strong opinion on illegal downloads. Especially those of us who work in the music/entertainment/film industry.

Look at the music industry in the US/UK. It's hurting because of all the illegal downloads, and it's certainly the same case in Japan since only two singles sold more than a million copies this year. As far as I'm saying in the matter, the people that spent their hard earned money have more of a right to have/view this collection as they supported the artist over someone that hasn't supported the artist by buying the release. Anyone else that views/downloads it should see it as a privilege to view this content as they have not contributed to the release of the product.

If someone wants to view snippets for their opinion on how it looks before they decide on a purchase, that's fine. But for people who just want to download to have (and don't support the artist by purchasing the product), that will ruin the music industry. 90% of people that download illegally do so without the intention of paying for a product after sampling it.

I'm NOT saying I'm not at fault either, as I do download if I'm unsure on an artist/release and listen/watch it first. If I enjoy it, I buy it. If I don't, I delete it.

[yukito]

^ Well so do I, it just so happens I can't right now, but I want to at some point in my life, just for now I'll settle with this files. I bought every other thing from her, so it isn't such a big deal if I for once skip such a thing and wait to get a copy of this.

[elaniel]

For those that are interested, an overseas version is to be released on the 13th for almost 1/4 of the price of the Japan Version. DVD ONLY.

[yukito]

Well that is interesting now if only they will release a blu-ray version.

[zeejia]

Actually, DVD version has been released in Taiwan today at only USD67 including shipping.

Here to buy:

But only 1000 boxes will be available and there won't be a reprint once sold out. The number is going down fast!

its the DVD version not blu ray version.

if the person who feels that by uploading the entire rip is going to hurt the sale, where is he when a new album is released? isnt that much more damage than a blu ray collection (which imo is targeted at hardcore fans) and I assume if people are interested will have already preordered the limited editions. FYI, i've left out the menu so it's nt really a full rip of the release.
if he is just being annoyed bcos that he paid a huge amt of $ and others got it free and ahead of him, then I'm annoyed too! Did u know it's not a 10Mb or 100Mb file I'm sharing? if u're not interested, just dont look into the thread.

[elaniel]

Yes, I know it's DVD. I just thought everyone saw previously in the part II thread that Avex Taiwan have already said they're not releasing a Blu-Ray box.

[toniayu]

I said that it wasn't fair to download THAT because:
-We spent many,many money on it.
-Is not the same price as a single/album (I support to download this if you can't buy it)
-You already have all her PVs in their respective single/album.
Anyway,as i said,i support to download this if you can't buy it.But some people just said negative things about this(upscaled,blah,blah,blah) and now they're downloading.
$$$

[yukito]

^In that case I completely agree, for those who whined about it.
Any ways I won't say another word about it because I was able to find another way around it.

[emi♡]

I don't agree

I still downloaded FIVE and that album was awful. And I knew, before I even downloaded it too.

And I'll just say, $50, might as well be $500 for me, cause I don't have either.


I honestly don't think that illegal downloading really has any effects at our level. I know people disagree on the moral principle, but tbh, moral principles don't really mean anything. If you don't want to share, then don't share But I dont think it's right to judge anyone else, in anything.

imo, illegal downloading was an inevitable consequence of the industry's inability to recognize peoples' laziness, and properly take advantage of the internet.

When I was on Spotify, I didn't illegally download anything. And the future of the industry is going that way. And they're just going to have to deal with the fact that they aren't going to be making as much money from a product.

The industry also, seems to be hurting in all the wrong places. Just like the PC gaming industry. People are going to have to make changes, and they are going to fight tooth and nail, to keep their money. And they are going to rely oh so heavily on this idea of "stealing" from people and moral principles to do it.

Why did come back here...omg...lol sorry.

[axmish87]

All i can say is that I AM THANKFUL TO EVERY SINGLE
ONE OF YOU PEOPLE who is MORE THEN GENEROUS to share this release
with us less fortunate ones.
I saw the Hong Kong Version but i recently pre-ordered Final Fantasy XIII-2 from
Zavvi.com so i cannot afford it atm.
And to be honest THIS IS MY FIRST foray into buying and preordering
things on line XD

same here, I only haven't bought it yet because I haven't had the money. Its all PVs in one collection with the CMs , that's more than enough for me.
