Availability & Price:
All four volumes are available in the UK on DVD from
MVM.
Serial Experiments Lain is available from most high street DVD
retailers priced at around £19.99 per volume, but the complete box set
is better value at £39.99 and is also more widely available.
Specialist retailers like Forbidden Planet and many larger high
street DVD retailers, such as Virgin Megastores and HMV,
carry the boxset and occasionally the individual volumes. As
always online shops such as
Play.com and
Amazon are
generally better value than the high street and MVM's own online shop -
Anime-On-Line -
is probably the most reliable place to buy their DVDs, as they are sent straight
from the manufacturer.
The US release limited edition slipcases and lunchbox DVD set are now very rare and prices vary
dramatically when one does turn up. Your best bet for
these items are auction sites such as
ebay*.
*Auction sites can be rife with unscrupulous individuals who will
knowingly sell you pirated goods. Although the risk is mainly with
DVD and CD purchasing, there is a notable amount of pirated toys and
apparel cropping up too. To
minimise the risk of being ripped off make sure you check Digital Anime's
excellent
Piracy FAQ.
