Wow! Der Preis ist für mich als BBC Dokusammler wie ein Schlag in die Magengrube! Zoll kommt ja auch noch dazu. :shock: :stop:

It's unfortunate to find out the disappointing reaction to the price points as a seller.

Plain Archive was asked by Mirage Entertainment to sell Planet Earth on their behalf and we were not involved in the making of this product nor were we involved in the pricing.

To offer our opinion on this matter, we must explain that the size of the Blu-ray market in South Korea is UK's 1/200, and US's 1/1000. The production cost therefore, relative to other bigger markets in the world, would be different.

Also, the right to release in Blu-ray is held by the BBC in the UK, and by the Discovery Channel in the US. In contrast to these gigantic corporations, the Korean release is being managed by a small firm, paying a huge sums of money to the BBC. It's inevitable that this edition by Mirage Entertainment is less attractive when it comes down to the pricing.

Planet Earth Ultimate Collector's Edition was primarily made for the Korean market, but we provided Mirage Entertainment with our store in case of some demand from potential customers overseas.

That being said, the explanation above is irrelevant to Plain Archive's own pricing strategy for our own releases, and it does not reflect the opinions of Mirage Entertainment.

Lastly, the 6-disc Blu-ray released a few years ago in the UK and the US will be on sale yet again with discounts during the holiday season. However, this Steelbook edition is just about to get released in Korea, and as we don't have Black Friday, Boxing Day, etc. the pricing would naturally not face any fluctuations.
