Updated post. Prices may fluctuate a little, given the exchange rate and what I end up for total number of discs.

Why isn't Blindness part of this group buy?

cheez, for any item not listed by the OP, just see if there is a title that has a similar yen price. then look at the converted final price. pretty easy cheesy, lemon squeezy.
