It had to happen - with the AUD at record highs, this is one to get into before the inevitable AUD slide happens (IMO of course)

Best Price has dropped to 578000Yen inside Japan - I believe it was 100000 more last week I looked. Thats a big drop.

Inside delivery is only AUD 6,334 - nice if you are travelling to Japan and can get it delivered to your hotel - I think that is about cost price in Australia currently.

It has 100-240 volt free, English screen menu.

Its body and remote is written in English.

2 units in stock .(black model only) - bet they don't last more than a nanosecond!

Call me crazy, but that wouldn't be enough of a price differential on the local street price to make me want to forego the local warranty & support. Not to mention the extra likelihood of being slugged with GST because it's such an expensive item.

EDIT: but it's good to see the price is heading in the right direction

Brings it in line with the GB with GST added and it certainly would be on this price.

[Gino]

I agree. It's not crazy its common sense. Add GST and the prospect of one return trip for a warranty claim and that price starts to look ordinary.

I was under the impression these JVC's are bulletproof? If the case why worry bout the return trip?

No worries Gino

I'll return the favour one weekend this year when I can dump the rugrats and use some frequent flyers - how far away is the nearest (Qantas) airport from you?

Mark you know there is no such thing as a bullet proof PJ. However there are plenty about that could do with bullets in them.

It would be wise to wait till the end of April and look locally. I dont think Price Japan can offer what may come out :ph34r:

Its not just about money either

That would be Cairns International Airport, about 40km away maybe. I'll pick you up in my car, it's a fun drive through the rainforest range

Gino, you can hand deliver the Luma if you're coming down to Melb

If I have my anamorphic lens by then, you're also welcome to check out my setup.
