Do anyone know what's in the 4 discs edition of RE:Afterlife (BB exclusive)?

Does it come with a 3D Blu-ray of the movie?

[guyver2077]

Been a while since I have posted in here.. havent kept up lately as much with BD.

Do the 3d versions of movies also come with the regular 2d version? I don't have a 3d tv yet but I want to make sure that if I pick up the 3d version, I can watch the 2d version just fine.

http://www.amazon.com/Resident-Evil-Afterlife-Blu-ray-3D/dp/B002ZG98UK

Lists in the description that it'll supposedly play in 2D with a 2D TV, so i guess it's a 2D/3D disc. Not all 3D discs are playable in 2D, so you need to check and see before buying.

I missed the DD Shrek The Whole Story deal. :( But it's in my Gold Box for amazon today for $36--decent price, or do people think it'll go sub-$30 like Austin Powers did (and that one was only 3 movies)?

Shrek will drop...it's just a matter of how long you want to wait. $36 is good. I paid $33 through DD with tax.

Thanks for the reply Gizmo.

Princess Bride: does anyone know the difference between this (http://www.amazon.com/Princess-Bride-Two-Disc-Blu-ray-Packaging/dp/B000K7VHPA/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1294301254&sr=1-1), released last year, and this (http://www.amazon.com/Princess-Bride-Blu-ray-Cary-Elwes/dp/B0049M7BES/ref=sr_1_3?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1294301254&sr=1-3), which apparently came out this week? It looks like the older one is a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, but I'm wondering if anything else is different.

Other than the extra DVD and the price, nothing. The original BR release was quite good for a catalog title, and I can't imagine how (or why) they'd release something better, so I'd say go for the 2 disc because it's a buck less.

Pre-order Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray Now!

January 6, 2011

The most anticipated Blu-ray release ever -- the Star Wars Saga -- emerges from light speed this September 2011. For the first time, all six of George Lucas' epic films (Episodes I-VI) are united in one complete set. Fans worldwide are able to pre-order now with online retailers.

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release Star Wars in three distinct sets to meet the needs of every Star Wars fan:

* Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray (9-disc Set includes all six films)
* Star Wars: Prequel Blu-ray Trilogy (3-disc set includes Episodes I-III)
* Star Wars: Original Blu-ray Trilogy (3-disc set includes Episodes IV-VI)

Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray will feature all six live-action Star Wars feature films utilizing the highest possible picture and audio presentation, along with three additional discs and more than 30 hours of extensive special features including never-before-seen deleted and alternate scenes, an exploration of the exclusive Star Wars archives, and much more.

Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray will be available for $139.99 US/$179.99 CAN and the Star Wars: Trilogy Sets for $69.99 US/89.99 CAN. Pricing for each set will vary by international territory.

Flanked by a legion of his finest Imperial stormtroopers, Darth Vader himself joined Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment President Mike Dunn at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) to announce the release, vowing "The forces of the Empire will be at your disposal to assure the success of this endeavor."

"The Star Wars Saga is the most anticipated Blu-ray collection since the launch of the high-def format," Dunn said. "The epic franchise pioneered sound and visual presentation in theaters and is perfectly suited to do it again in the home, with a viewing experience only possible with Blu-ray."

"With all six episodes available for the first time in one collection, this is a great way for families and home audiences to experience the complete Saga from start to finish," said Doug Yates, Vice President of Marketing, Online, Distribution, Lucasfilm Ltd. "And with the quality of high-definition, Blu-ray provides the most immersive home experience possible."

"The Star Wars franchise has been the most anticipated Blu-ray release by Amazon's customers," said Bill Carr, Vice President of Music and Video at Amazon.com. "We think that Star Wars will be incredibly popular with our customers, and we expect pre-orders to be very strong."

Worth locking in the prices now in case they go up, which Amazon has done before.

[gunm]

Or it could drop like a rock in a couple weeks or sooner after release. >_>

[shrike4242]

Or it could drop like a rock in a couple weeks or sooner. >_>If the price drops, you're covered with the pre-order price guarantee, since you can always go back and have Amazon adjust the price for a cheaper price. Plus, you could cancel and re-order as well.

This just covers you against getting it for more than $90.

[gunm]

Sorry I meant after release--getting burned a lot more often recently with preorders that drop after release on Amazon. :p

[RedvsBlue]

So let me get this straight Fox wants $90 ($140 list) for 4 Aliens movies (2 of which are pretty much stinkers) and the same $90 (same $140 list) buys all 6 Star Wars films (once again 2 stinkers though...)?

Way to keep it consistent Fox.

[shrike4242]

Sorry I meant after release--getting burned a lot more often recently with preorders that drop after release on Amazon. :pAs long as you decide to cancel within a few days of release, you won't be out anything. I'm sure they will get Release Date Delivery, which means they'll ship the Friday or Monday before they come out. Plenty of time to cancel if someone else has a better deal before release.

Right after release, that's always a crapshoot.

Way to keep it consistent Fox.Aliens set is 50% crap, and the Star Wars set is 33% crap? The percentages are dropping, at least.

Aliens set has been about $70 at retail before any coupons come into play, though the cheapest the US release has been is about $53 at BN.com after a 25% off coupon that only works via a MasterCard. UK release of Aliens set has been right at $40 shipped at the cheapest point, though it's higher now.

First, forgot to mention that the 2 worst Star Wars are still better than the 2 worst Aliens (and this is coming from someone who is a bigger Aliens fan than Star Wars).

I understand there have been the sales and there will likely be sales on the Star Wars sets as well. I'm merely highlighting that Fox is somehow valuing 4 Aliens films the same as all 6 Star Wars films which is just silly. Even more silly is the fact that given how much control Lucas has over Star Wars they are likely not even getting as much percentage of the sales of Star Wars as they are with Aliens (a franchise they've owned and controlled from the beginning).

[gunm]

They will sell more Star Wars sets than Aliens sets regardless--it's a wash.

I know that from a revenue perspective, the Star Wars movies far outstripped the Alien movies, no question. It's been pretty much universal that people think Fox's price on the Alien series set in the US was much more expensive than it should have been, which is why a lot of people (myself included) imported it from the UK. I'm happy with $12-$15 per movie for Aliens and the same for Star Wars, though there's no way to believe that the Aliens movies are worth more than $20 each, especially with the last two being such dogs. I bet you if they came out with an Alien + Aliens double-pack at $30 - $40, it would sell like crazy.

Incredibles in a 4-disc (2 BD, 1 DVD, 1 DC) package coming on April 12th, 2011.

Bring on the $10 coupon, Disney. ;) $45.99 MSRP hurts more than a little. :cry:

[neocisco]

It's nice to get a solid date on that.

Where are these $10 coupons usually obtained?

[bluedotlounge]

The Blu-ray cover of The Social Network would be awesome and Criterion-esque without the accolades:

Hell of a matte finish. I requested it for review. I'll have impressions up hopefully before the end of the weekend.

[shrike4242]

$10 coupons for Disney titles usually come from the upgrade from past versions, by putting in the UPC of an appropriate product to upgrade from (DVD, VHS) into the DisneyMovieRewards.com website. Shows you own the prior title and you get the coupon for the upgrade.

All it needs is the UPC, which can be found on the Internet, obviously.

[Demolition Man]

The Incredibles on Blu = :drool:

That Social Network cover with the accolades = :puke:

I know right? Thankfully it's like a slipcase without a bottom, kinda like a vertical obi, so it doesn't feel like the official cover.

While I'm not a huge fan of the movie (and much less of a fan of Rosario Dawson) that Sin City SB is awesome. Just . . . damn.

April 19th - Mortal Kombat and The Sequel To Mortal Kombat Which Shall Not Be Named Directly both out on Blu-Ray. Buying the first one anyway, but I hope they do a decent job with the transfer & audio since it was pretty spectacular visually. Will be nice to finally get a good release of this...the DVD was non-anamorphis for christsake.

They're not up on Amazon yet but were announced on the official MK Facebook page.

that's pretty cool!!! bout to watch fantastic mr. fox with the kid:) neither of us have seen it yet

I keep forgetting to watch that. Got it for Xmas and it's still in the wrap. Saw it in the theater though. Great movie...really weird style but that's a lot of the appeal.

[CaseyRyback]

I read over at Blu-Ray.com that they changed the aspect ratio (from 1:85 to 1:78)and that some parts of the UK release actually look better. I think I am going to stick with the copy I got. I was hoping for a nice new transfer, but I will stick with what I got. I like how the case matches the poster I have hanging in my room anyway.

I held off on the Canadian releases hoping that the domestic one's would be of better quality.

[shrike4242]

Doubtful, unless they took the time to re-encode it, since I heard the Canadian release wasn't that passable.

Again, I'd wait this one out until there's a review. Amazon will probably have it at $13-$15 as a pre-order.

I think it's still Weinstein.

[KaneRobot]

That's one I can't see anyone preordering until someone does a review of them.
The original DVD of the first film is NON ANAMORPHIC. This Blu-Ray could be completely mediocre and it would still be worth the purchase as long as you're interested in owning the movie.

I'm buying the game anyway so the costume download that you get is a nice bonus. Really surprised each film doesn't have a different character, looks like Jade is the download for both films.

Gettysburg is one of my favorite movies ever and in my opinion one of the best war films ever made, so I'm quite pumped. They'll also be releasing them together in a collector's edition in July, which I might go for if the extras are nice.

Hey which is the Dragon Ball Z set that people are supposed to avoid? I was curious about the first DBZ Kai since it's on sale at Amazon. I know that's an abridged/remastered version, but I recall some offhand remark in a different thread about how you should avoid the ____ DBZ set and get ___ instead. For all I know that remark may have been directed towards the DVDs though.

Justice League Season 2, coming July 26th.

DAY FUCKING ONE

I literally lost all hope for this one.

[shrike4242]

Looks like we're getting a complete series set for Stargate Atlantis on July 26th:

http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/Disc_Announcements/MGM/UA/Stargate_Atlantis:_The_Complete_Series_Announced_f or_Blu-ray/6714

MSRP is $200, so it'll be pricey. I'm hoping that we don't repeat the SG-1 Complete Series set packaging debacle with this one. Also wondering how it'll look on BD, since I think they shot it on HD Video though some of the series, if not all of it. In that case, I'd like to think it would look good to very good.

That one is worth waiting out to read reviews before sinking money into it.

[bvharris]

I'm hoping that we don't repeat the SG-1 Complete Series set packaging debacle with this one.

But it was a Stargate!

I agree though, my DVDs came right out of that box and never went back in, but to its credit it does look fantastic on a shelf.

As for Atlantis, I already own all the individual seasons on DVD, so I'd probably wait on a pretty big sale (and of course the reviews) before upgrading to the blu.

[Keen314]

So is there a good site where I can look up anime blu-rays to find out if they're upressed vs native HD? Besides asking here. :)

Hey which is the Dragon Ball Z set that people are supposed to avoid? I was curious about the first DBZ Kai since it's on sale at Amazon. I know that's an abridged/remastered version, but I recall some offhand remark in a different thread about how you should avoid the ____ DBZ set and get ___ instead. For all I know that remark may have been directed towards the DVDs though.
I never had any DBZ discs before Kai, but I have all 4 (or is it 3?) blu ray sets that have been released so far, and I think they're quite good all things considered. It's waaaaaay better than the original DBZ in my opinion.

It's the Orange DVD sets some people say to avoid. They're cropped strangely and apparently the "remastering" messed up some of the colors. I have those sets, and I would never notice a difference. But if you want what is generally considered the best DBZ, go with the Dragon Box DVD's if you want the original unabridged show, or the Kai DVD's or Blu-rays if you want the filler cut out. The Kai sets are also the only version of DBZ on blu-ray, the movies not withstanding.

Break out the coupon anticipation discussion again, Dumbo gets a street date of September 20th:

It's another release in dual packaging, both with DVD and Blu-Ray discs, like they did with Snow White, one DVD-sized and one Blu-Ray sized.

1 1/2 and 2 won't get stand alone releases for a while, at least according to someone I spoke to. Defeats the whole purpose of selling this gigantic boxset. Probably, eventually. Disney is weird with their releases. You can probably import both around October since Dinsey treats each territory differently (i.e. Bambi II is out in the UK already...along with Dumbo).

I pre-ordered the big boxset for $67 on Amazon. I may or may not keep it. Already getting the 3D copy for review, so not sure if $67 is worth it for two DTV Sequels.

Amazon UK has the Godfather collection for ~$30 shipped right now. Any key differences between US and UK versions? It's listed as region free, does that mean it should play on a US PS3? I forget if the PAL/NTSC distinction is still relevant with blu-ray.

I have it, it plays fine on my PS3. I'm almost entirely certain they're nearly the same disks between the US and UK versions. I got mine the last time it got really cheap (like ~$26 shipped cheap) and was very pleased with the purchase. The only downside is that each movie comes in its own case and they're fairly thick cases so if you're concerned about shelf space then you might want to look to the considerably slimmer US version.

Nightmare Before Christmas 3D (3D BD + 2D DB + DVD + DC) is dated for release on August 30th.

Up for pre-order on Amazon at $34.99, retails for $49.99:
http://www.amazon.com/Nightmare-Before-Christmas-3D-Blu-ray/dp/B00540G3G6

No sign of a Disney coupon yet, though we should keep an eye on this and see.

[gunm]

Dang it, I already have NBC.

I don't have a 3D TV yet though. :p

[shrike4242]

The BD + DC version trades in for up to $7.60 at Amazon, if you already have it.

This release would be a 3-disc (3D BD / 2D BD / DVD + DC or 3D BD / 2D BD / DVD / online on DMR.com website for DC) or 4-disc (3D BD / 2D BD / DVD / DC) release, so there's nothing stopping you from picking it up now or later and selling/trading your existing version.

There may be a trade-up/upgrade coupon coming from Disney or a non-upgrade coupon as well, though we have some time before such a thing gets released. Amazon normally releases their coupon on these types of releases very early in the pre-order cycle, so it would be worth keeping an eye out for them. In the case of Tangled, the 3D combo pack had a $8 coupon on Amazon ($5 B&M coupon, so a better coupon deal) as well as a price match to the cheaper price at Target of $24.99, so it was a win-win.

[gunm]

Yeah, that Tangled coupon was great.

[shrike4242]

Looks like we have a 15-disc "Treasure Chest" edition of the four POTC movies, retailing at $114.99, with a MSRP of $169.99:

http://www.amazon.com/Pirates-of-the-Caribbean-Blu-ray/dp/product/B0054K8JSG

Not sure what's in the 15 discs, though the first three movies are 3-discs each as 2 BD discs and one DVD disc, for 9 discs, and the separate POTC: OST release (over here with $8 off coupon on Amazon (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=296722)) has 5 discs, so we're up to 14. Maybe the 7th disc from the POTC trilogy pack is included for the 15th disc.

The $8 coupon mentioned above doesn't work on the Treasure Chest version.

MSRP for each is supposedly $19.99, and Jackie Brown might initially be a Walmart exclusive.

With $20 MSRPs, we should have $13-14 Amazon pre-orders without much work.

Does anyone know what is up with Louie S1 BD/DVD?..first off, it was shelved early at a Fry's I stopped by on Saturday. Of course they didn't sell it to me, but what I found interesting was while it was both formats, the copy in my hand was DVD case sized. Now, at Fry's it is $19.99 this week, stellar deal compared to checking BB.com at $34.99 (!!!) and Amazon for $30..

Now what perplexes me, and this references the question above, is I just searched it out on Frys.com and there are two listings stating DVD/BD and another BD/DVD..so I guess I'm wondering if there is only one set of this, or if there should be BD sized packaging?? Not that it matters since I lumped all my TV seasons together on the shelf (which doesn't look that good) but it would still be nice to know if I need to hunt a BD sized box out..

[Irukandji]

Did anybody get that Stanley Kubrick 9 movie LE collection? Wb shop has it for 104 before discounts. I can get it for 83.96 with my coupon codes but I'm worried it might end up being one of those amazon lightning deals that ends up going for 49.99 or something.

not really a deal but Justice League Season 2 Bluray came out the end of july under the radar to like no fanfare. I got my copy yesterday and watched a couple episodes, extras are pretty much same as on dvds, little annoying because they list the extras on both discs and if you have the wrong disc it just tells you to insert other disc, bit annoying. BD live is little cool, does have new Dark Knight Rises trailer available for play.

My god, the actual shows though, just awesome. Colors pop, detail, anamorphic widescreen, just, I teared up a bit. Miles ahead of the JL season one set and just makes me salivate for a JLU bluray set seeing what they can do now. Any fans of JL animated this is a must buy, was watching Twilight and it was just so beautiful, scene with all father in front of the source wall and the fire just danced on the screen in glorious HD just so beautiful. Haven't even got to the Justice Lords episode yet but can't wait.

As a side note, their search function is usually either broken, or terrible, or both, so keep that in mind if you are trying to find something (e.g. no results for wallstreet, only wall street).

Word going around is that Transformers: Dark of the Moon will hit blu this month, September 30th.. but the catch is - it's only a barebones release. Movie only. The 3d version and version w/ extras will be released in December, then a trilogy set w/ fancy stuff later on.

I think I'll pick up the barebones release. I wouldn't watch the extras on it anyway.

[KaneRobot]

I have zero emoitional attachment to the Star Wars films. I couldn't care less about any of the changes to them made thus far. I don't think the prequels are particularly bad or good. I'm glad to watch all 6 films but I'm not even close to being a purist.

But with that said - that hilarious "NOOOO" they added makes me embarassed watching it...on Youtube...by myself. I ain't got much time to decide now, but I really am thinking strongly about cancelling my preorder for the set. At this point I don't buy that Lucas isn't just trolling everybody for his own amusement.

[DestroVega]

anyone else have "Waiting" on BD and think the PQ sucks? the colors look super-enhanced and there is no detail to anything in the background.

Yeah, I finally watched it and I gotta say, it really does come across as almost slapstick. I'm not one who gets too worked up over the changes (new Anakin in Jedi, Han shoots first, etc.) but this new "noooo" just feels completely out of place. It completely ruins one of the best scenes in the original trilogy.

Warner HMV is going to pull a Disney-style vault practice with all of the Harry Potter movies:

http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=7614

Deathly Hallows Pt 2 and the complete 8-film collection will be on the shelf from release date until the end of the year, and then they're gone until some time into 2012, plus the other 7 films.

Create demand then just release them a year from now again anyway, good strategy.

Seems like a short period between going in the vault and coming back out again, at least compared to Disney. It makes the whole thing look pretty silly in my opinion. It's not like demand would have really suffered much if they simply left them on the shelves, and re-released them later next year. All this does is piss off people who want to buy the movies, and benefit resellers who are likely buying up these movies all now to sell to these poor souls.

Game of Thrones has finally been dated! Amazon has it set for March 6 and also has the cover art. About damn time.

Indiana Jones collection with all four movies (yes, I know everyone's take on Crystal Skull), out this fall:

Let's hope Paramount does what we had with the Alien collection and make the movies individually for people that don't want Crystal Skull.

I also hope that the movies are remastered correctly and they look good on BD. No reason they couldn't look great on BD.

EDIT: Apparently up for pre-order on Amazon, no date, for $74.99:

Also, don't bother trading in the DVD sets to Amazon unless they're new and sealed, as they have a $0.25 trade-in value if not new and sealed.

To get the first three (1 and 3, really), I'll gladly pay the premium of the 4th. I was wondering about the status of this set just the other day.

I am hoping for indy digital copies as well :)

I don't remember if I asked this or not. If I buy the 3D version of the new Piranha 3D movie, will it still play in 2D effectively?

I only have one 3D TV and I'm pretty sure I won't be watching it there very often, but I'd love to at least once. The rest of the time, it'd be viewed on my non-3D TV with probably a non-3D blu-ray player.

Hopefully it makes sense.

From the Amazon discussion, 2D is included on the disc and is the default.

I recently heard that some of the Studio Ghibli films are finally being put on Blu-ray. Does anyone know which ones are currently available/what the future releases are going to be?

I know that Nausicaa and Ponyo have been around for a while and that Castle in the Sky's coming out next month, but I'd kill for some of the others (not that there's a single bad film in the bunch).

Hello! I don't know if is the correct place to post this, I'm new in cheap ass gamers.

P.s: Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, I really didn't find another place

Whisper of the Heart and The Secret World of Arrietty are coming out next month as well.

Oh, I've never heard of Whisper of the Heart. Should I be ashamed of that? Looks like it's yet another well-reviewed Miyazaki film, whatever the case. I knew about Arrietty, too, but I'm gonna hold out on that one 'till it drops a little bit. ;)

If you don't mind buying used, GoHastings has a 33% off sale right now and that makes the movies you've listed a bit cheaper than Amazon's prices (I think - haven't factored in the sales tax or shipping costs). Here's a link to the topic discussing it:

I'm not sure if everything GoHastings sells is complete, though. Sorry!
