Today is a very sad day for fans of cult and import DVD and Blu-ray titles, as the online etailer Xploited Cinema has announced it will be closing its (virtual) doors. For those who aren't familiar with the store, Xploited Cinema has been in operation for 7 years now, specializing in hard to find "cult" DVD titles as well as import titles not generally available in the United States.
The store has more recently expanded to include a selection of Blu-ray disc titles that have been released overseas but not domestically, with much faster shipping (and often lower prices) than could generally be obtained by dealing with overseas etailers.
Unfortunately, though, the store will be clearing out its inventory and closing shop. Tony from Xploited Cinema told me that the decision was a difficult one, and surprisingly not based on slowing sales, but rather a personal decision to do something else. Tony is a great guy and is always committed to customer service, returning emails personally in an incredibly short timeframe. I have no doubt that he has had to work insanely hard over the years on his business, and wish him all the best with whatever project he decides to tackle next.
In the meantime, anyone with orders or preorders already in place with Xploited Cinema shouldn't fear, as all orders will ship as planned. Also, new orders will continue being taken, though new stock will stop coming in soon, and existing stock will undoubtedly sell down considerably over the coming months. For anyone interested, please visit the Xploited Cinema website and take a look.
