[Redeema]

Looks like I'll be adding this to my Christmas wishlist. Hopefully they do a better than good transfer.

[gdemander]

Wow. That is one of the coolest (can I say prettiest or is that too weird?) packages that I have ever seen. I kind of want it and don't even have a Blu-Ray player.

[DestroVega]

i throw slipcovers away... but it looks cool

[evildeadjedi]

Hmmm I'm gonna wait till this is reviewed.

[blk00civicsi]

At least Fox got the Pricing right.

[shrike4242]

Hmmm I'm gonna wait till this is reviewed.Agreed. We don't need another Gladiator now do we?

At least Fox got the Pricing right.Agreed.

[zenintrude]

The European release was kind of terrible... will wait on reviews.

[thewatcher]

Why, Why not sell them?

[DestroVega]

Why, Why not sell them?

People actually buy those?

[keiblerfan69]

Can't wait!

Just an idea of what is in it.

[token2k6]

Great price! may pick it up or see what BB offers release week...

[argyle]

Not sure if I understand waiting...even the "bad" blu-ray transfers look better than dvds from what I've seen. At any rate, this was in my gold box a couple months back so I'll get a few more cents off. :)

[Viol8tor]

Day one for me. Id buy this movie if they released it on Beta Max.

[zenintrude]

Day one for me. Id buy this movie if they released it on Beta Max.

It's on DVD already... go buy it.

[crunchb3rry]

Wow, I heard this was coming out. Thought it was just another false alarm. Box art proves it though. Preordered for sure.

[dmaul1114]

Glad to see this coming to blu--will definitely upgrade. Listed my DVD on Goozex, but it will probably take for ever to move. DVDs go slow--I've only sent 2 out since they started offering movies (have received 4 blu rays). Guess most of that crowd is probably in the same boat--ditching DVDs to upgrade to blu.

I won't pre-order as I'll wait for reviews and make sure it's a good transfer etc. And being under $25 I don't want to get stuck paying for shipping and have it cost more than it does locally.

It's a matter of whether its really worth upgrading from DVD--or waiting for a Blu Ray re-release with a better transfer down the road to avoid a triple dip on the title.

[crunchb3rry]

This is an "anniversary release" if I'm not mistaken. So there probably won't be another version for quite some time.

[dmaul1114]

True. But my point stands that some videophiles may not want to upgrade if it's a botched transfer, and would rather save their money and stick with the DVD.

I'll most likely get it unless it has bad flaws like the missing arrows in Gladiator as I'm not all that picky and even stuff that gets slammed like Silence of the Lambs still looks a lot better and was worth the upgrade to me.

[crunchb3rry]

Here's a more comprehensive list of features:

http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=3346

I can't quite figure it out, but there seems to be some stuff missing from the first DVD release.

EDIT: Nevermind, sendme's link has pretty much the same stuff.

[LeRoy]

If it goes below $15 then I'll get it. I'm fine with the DVD for now.

[TobalRox]

I still have my old 2 disc set from when it first came to DVD. Love the movie yet I haven't watched it in years and I have never watched any of the extras. Go figure.

[crunchb3rry]

It's actually one of the few movies I own where I did watch the extras. Normally I never bother.

[dmaul1114]

I watched them as well (except commentaries, never cared for those), but that was years and years ago back when I did actually watch extras as DVD was still pretty new, and I was still in college and had a lot more free time. So I watched a lot of extras back then. Now I watch hardly any other than occasionally deleted scenes/outtakes.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Instant classic of a movie, might have to pick it up.

[soccerstud652]

Go read the book. Its better than the movie.

[thingsfallnapart]

Go read the book. Its better than the movie.

ten fold better ending.

[crunchb3rry]

I actually liked Survivor better than Fight Club by far. There was a movie a hair away from being made but got put on indefinite hiatus after 9/11. Note to Hollywood: it's okay to make movies about plane crashes again.

I think they know. There's a little show called Lost on TV that deals with a plane crash :)

[xMalachi]

Preordered.. I never picked up the DVD for whatever reason.. Yeah, I know I'm crazy. Just like how I got Dark Knight with it.. I'm a little behind :P

[gdemander]

Go read the book. Its better than the movie.

I disagree. I think the ending in the movie was one of the rare instances that it was better. The book ending would not have made any sense in the movie. The plot lines were almost entirely different. The book was more about destroying the past to create our own future, as it is our world now, not those dead people's. That is why the book ending fit. The movie was about hitting rock bottom, which is why the movie ending fit.

I just now preordered too, don't feel bad I never picked fight club up on dvd either.. So I guess that makes the two of us a little behind in times.. Oh well.. :)

[chuckstaton]

Go read the book. Its better than the movie.
ten fold better ending.

Really surprised to hear this. I've read the book and watched the movie at least three times each (probably a few more for the movie), and I not only think the ending is barely different (in terms of story, I suppose), but I also consider Fight Club (the movie) to be the best and most accurate representation of a novel that I've ever seen.
A few things were changed (almost all of them really didn't matter - like Chloe - a character who had about fifteen seconds of screen time - dying a bit later in the film), but for people who enjoy film as an equal artform to literature, I have to say that the film was created in a-near perfect way to reflect the book.
Chuck Palahniuk worked closely with Fincher and Jim Uhls on the screenplay, and Palahniuk has even said in interviews that there were MORE metaphors in the movie that he didn't even think of when writing the book (the fact that Tyler was criticizing his father for creating his family and then leaving his children and wife, and going off and creating another one - like a "franchise" - and then how Tyler did the exact same thing with Fight Club) and was kicking himself over it.
Like I said, I think this is the movie where the typical "It wasn't as good as the book" comment comes into play the very LEAST of any adopted film I've seen.

[dmaul1114]

Yeah, the stories are near identical and the endings aren't all that different.

In the movie the bombs go off and the credit buildings are destroyed, and the movie ends there with them watching. In the book the bombs don't go off as they weren't made right. Then it goes further and shows Tyler/the narrator thinking he's dead and in heaven, when he's really in a mental institution and people are showing up with black eyes nodding at him etc.

I prefer the bombs going off, but would have been a nice to touch to have that next scene in the movie too.

[sendme]

Is the book called fight club? after reading all this I want to check out the book now.

[zenintrude]

Yes. Yes it is.

wtf? He is dead in the end of the book. That's the only correct ending after what he's been threw.

[SithFran]

I forgot the ending to the book, I'll have to put it on the pile again.

I would love for Survivor to be made into a movie. The only other one that I really loved was Choke and the movie was good but not great.

[fizzywix]

This is going to be 16.99 at Best Buy according to next weeks ad

[minimafiaaj]

yeah im getting this for 17.99 i think.

[dmaul1114]

wtf? He is dead in the end of the book. That's the only correct ending after what he's been threw.

Well It's kind of up to the reader. He's either dead and those are just visions. Or he survived and is in a mental institution and just thinks he's dead.

I go with the latter given the description of how the bullet with through his cheek etc. But to each their own.

[token2k6]

so is the slipcover exclusive to Amazon? the standard cover is featured in the BB ad.

[Jodou]

Yeah, in case it wasn't mentioned: this is now $17.99 @ Amazon. I'm hopeful they match BB, since I've not been able to get a quick pick deal in time.

[shrike4242]

They already shipped out my copy on Friday, and I had ordered it in my Gold Box when it was still $18.99, so it was $18.04 for me.

I printed a copy of the product page for the moment, so if they don't auto-change it for the price drop, they owe me $0.95 back for the pre-order guarantee.

[shrike4242]

Dropped down to $16.99, so I guess I'm getting $1.90 back on it.

[LinkinPrime]

Well, well....guess I'm getting it from Amazon. Until I see a review on this that is.

Site seems to be down at the moment. Did you get to read it? Is PQ and AQ good? I'm hoping they didn't pull a Gladiator on this one.

EDIT: It's up...I'm sold! Thanks Shrike.

[robzilla]

A little off topic, but if your in LA or NY tomorrow night (Tuesday) there is gonna be a screening of fight club at midnight. I'm pretty sure it's free, but it's a first come first served type of thing.

NY Link- http://www.projectmayhemny.com/
LA Link- http://www.projectmayhemla.com/

It says to email them to RSVP but you just get an automated responce(LA one) with a password.

Mine just shipped about an hour ago, so they best be refunding me $.95 for this and ST! I paid in credit for both; how do they generally go about refunding that? It just shows back up on your account, right?

Lol, just as I finished typing this my ST shipped, but still shows $20.99. :\

Not a bad price. My buddy's been wanting to do a podcast review of this movie so he's urging me get the Blu-Ray.

Blu-Ray.com review:

[crunchb3rry]

Preordered it along with Heat. Had to pass on Leon, might just keep that in mind for a Christmas gift.

[Tyga24]

so is the slipcover exclusive to Amazon? the standard cover is featured in the BB ad.

I think the slipcover should at all retailers on the initial Fight Club blus until Fox decides to go with non-slip packaging (possibly 6 months to a year from now). I had a chance to see what the packaging looks like last week when I was pre-ordering Star Trek and it's pretty nice.

Thanks for the review Shrike as I was worried that the transfer may be problematic like the German blu.

[minimafiaaj]

i like slipcovers. idk why lol i just do glad i got this from amazon

[Jodou]

IF you mean credit as in gift card balance, then yes, they'll just put it back into your gift card account.
Yeah, they just stonewalled me with it will be refunded within 24 hours. Guess we'll see.

[randu]

This thread caught my eye..I absolutely love fight club. Must buy this.

[ipklove]

um... it looks cool

[Mako1215]

I wanna buy this.. or make someone else buy it for me.

Do you know if it's just a screening? The only reason I'm tempted to go is if it's some promo where they hand out free BD's - CAG tendency - but I don't wanna spend gas just to see it on the big screen.

[cupcakex1]

Amazon currently has Fight Club and Boondock Saints for 24.48 if you purchase them both, $5 off total purchase.

I purchased Boondocks couple days ago and am thinking whether I should return it or not. Probably not though, not worth shipping it back for cheaper Fight Club in my case. But if you've been holding out on getting both, GO GET THEM RIGHT NOW. Might just have to order Fight Club by itself, been hearing great reviews on the transfer. Once again, to anyone who has been holding out on both of them, GO GET THEM RIGHT NOW. Good day :lol:

[zenintrude]

Looks like Fight Club dropped to $15.99... will they change my pre-order price to reflect this, since it has not yet shipped?

Not sure. I'm hoping there is some promo stuff, but they're not giving out much info at all.

I've still not received my credit back for the $16.99 drop and it's been over 24 hours. Well, it's not the end of the day yet, but I have a feeling I'm going to have to contact them AGAIN since the first guy I got just responded with a boilerplate 'wait 24 hours' response. The inconsistency of service is rather annoying.

Once again, I screen printed the $15.99 price, to make sure I can get it corrected once it's supposed to auto-correct tonight. They're supposed to be credited me back $2.85 for the $3 difference - $0.15 for the Gold Box discount.

I'll give them until tomorrow, and if I don't see the auto-correction, I'm emailing them.

[flizmo007]

Nice! Picked up Fight Club + Boondock Saints for $23.50!

[LeRoy]

Might order this with Leon. Damn! I've been spending too much money on Blu-Rays.

[Ed_]

got in on FC & Boondock for $18 with a $5 gc 8-)

[dmaul1114]

Sweet. Just ordered it, also grabbed Star Trek for $19.99.

On top of that, finally got matched up to get rid of my old Fight Club DVD on Goozex this morning. :D

[minimafiaaj]

just got mine didn't know the slipcover opened like that lol.

[exRounder]

For anyone wondering this tweet reveals (part of?) what will be at the LA Project Mayhem thing tonight:

"Cinefamily @ The Silent Movie Theatre Free 35mm midnight screening of FIGHT CLUB tomorrow, with free donuts and coffee to boot. RSVP to projectmayhemla@yahoo.com"

Still begs the question if they'd give stuff away... argh!

[fizzywix]

Was going to get this at best buy so i could have it today and for points I guess, but the extra dollar made me bite at amazon. Ordered with Star Trek, awesome!

[jsub]

just got mine didn't know the slipcover opened like that lol.

can you elaborate? got a pic?

[Scorch]

can you elaborate? got a pic?

Took a pic just for CAG (even though it's in the main post of this thread).. so excited that this is finally on Blu Ray! Couldn't wait for Amazon to ship it so I sprung for it at Target, it was only $4 more. I am Jack's sense of impatience.

I placed my Amazon order tonight... had $100 in gift cards and $16 for a Blu isn't bad.

[xmunitalp]

I am giving them until tomorrow for price guarantee to kick in....
They shipped mine out yesterday and still haven't gotten it. I have prime.

[badlieut]

I am giving them until tomorrow for price guarantee to kick in....

I emailed them and they refunded the $3. Screw waiting. I'm still bitter about the Up/Monsters Inc BS.

[Jodou]

So to end my tale of e-mailing CS about the difference, I got someone competent tonight and they refunded me the $3 I was due. Sucks you have to keep on them about these things, especially since they were violating their own policy.

[jmillion]

picked mines up from Best Buy tonight for $10.86 pricematched walmart for $15.86 and used a $5 gift cert.

[Mako1215]

Do you think this will be on sale for black friday??

Mine went through early this morning as well. No automatic price adjust ever applied, so they really were going to try and stiff me because the BDs had already shipped. Well, their mistake cost them $0.15 lol.

[eastx]

Glad the price dropped so low. Can't wait to get it.

[token2k6]

How come none of you CAG's mentioned the big prank on the BD release?? I had to find it out on the Consumerist!! guess all you Amazon orderer's don't have you're copy in hand.

The big prank is supposedly the menu for Never Been Kissed plays for a few seconds before the actual menu comes up! hahaha, hilarious!! link: via Consumerist (http://consumerist.com/5407318/fight-club-blu+ray-messes-with-viewers)

Picked up Fight Club (fav movie of all-time) along with Heat and Star Trek on blu. Thanks for the heads-up OP.
