SwingingMonkey 0 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I noticed that Amazon.co.uk and other UK retailers are not listing the double disc special edition of Munich. Do I have to buy a multi-region dvd player or will the double disc version be out later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Thankfully, I have a region-free DVD player, so I can enjoy tons of great movies 8OTim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Does it mean that you wouldn't enjoy the movies with a regular DVD player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 No, it means I wouldn't be able to play some of them...8OTim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 154 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I saw there's a director's commentary on the Munich DVD? I thought Spielberg didn't do commentary tracks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,380 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 No director commentary, only a brief introduction about the movie before it plays. Universal WILL double dip this film, rest assured. It was a relative box office bomb by Spielberg standards, and Universal will be resorting to the lowest tactics to make a return. The 2-disc edition will come out within the next year in all non-region 1 areas. Teach them a lesson and copy a rental DVD to tide you over until the proper release comes out.

scissorhands 16 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 This is the only Spielberg DVD (trust me I got them all) I haven't bought in the release date (and won't be buying anytime soon). Try better tactics with me, Universal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,380 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 The sad thing is that most will simply buy the 1-disc edition without knowing the whole story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,770 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 That's the first I heard of a 2-disc version existing anywhere.Not a movie I'll buy immediately, but I liked it, and shame on Universal for trying this on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymenard 54 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 The 2-disc went out of print something like a WEEK after it was released. It wasn't even released in Canada.It's a complete shame, as it looks like it won't be re-issued in Region 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,380 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 They didn't put all that work into a tentpole Spielberg DVD release for only one round of prints. It'll be back. This tactic is just another way for them to convince fans to get the 1-disc version, under the assumption the 2-disc was a limited edition collectable never to return. Just imagine the horror when it pops out in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,770 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Urghh.These tactics disgust me. I don't see a single difference in the first disc between the two releases. Plus War of the Worlds wasn't exactly a megahit but they haven't tried anything with that... so why Munich? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 War of the Worlds was Paramount, not Universal.And there was both a single-disc and a double-disc for that one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,770 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Ahh, good point.And you're strengthened my point - there were 2 editions for that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,380 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 But at least they were released concurrently. The tactic of withholding the BETTER release for a later stage is a Universal thing, forcing people to buy it. Most other studios release the two versions at the same time, or even the 1-disc at a later stage at a heavily reduced price for those who aren't interested in bonus features.

Josh500 1,615 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Does anyone know when will the Munich 2-disc version be available in Europe? Also, those who have already seen the bonus disc -- what is the feature on John Williams like? Any footage of him conducting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
