Blu-ray News and Deals

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Amazon's sales are killing me. Huge sales on Blu-ray books as well as several others. Amazon had their Black Friday calendar up but took it down I think. Pulp Fiction will be $3.99 sometime, I don't remember exactly when.

So far I've picked up the Jurassic Park trilogy, the Bourne trilogy, Seven, and The Color Purple.

Bought the Superman boxset at the crazy price of £3 at Asda.

No one's forcing you to buy all that!

I was like this with DVDs - buying all sorts of stuff because it was cheap. Unless you really spend every waking hour watching films (and I don't), I don't see the point.

[King Mark 3,631]

I'd buy LotR extended at 24,99$

JP set at 19.99

My only other instant purchase upon day of release will be an Indy set

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

I agree, No reason to pay the full price for these films.

If you wait long enough, and shop around you can find great films for peanuts.

[Jeff 10]

Thanks for the links. I just bought JP at the discounted price. I saved "$49.99" off retail. Even if there's a better deal somewhere else this weekend, I can't complain.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

That's a good deal for the Jurassics...wait longer for a great one.

I wouldn't buy the regular version because the packaging is horrendous. Best Buy's tin is better.

The Star Trek TOS movie set is down to 40. That's really good!

[Jeff 10]

There is no amount of Star Trek movies you could put in a set that would make me pay more for it than a JP set. But that's just me.

[Charlie Brigden 7]

I am the opposite.

[Marian Schedenig 8,193]

There's no amount of JP you could put in a set that would make me pay more for it than a single Trek movie.

[filmmusic 1,827]

About Harry Potter:

Does anyone know what is in the extra 3 BLurays in this edition?

http://www.amazon.co...=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

edit: Oh, I guess it's in the description?

and I also like the package of this one here:

http://www.blu-ray.c...-Blu-ray/18212/

So, it doesn't have those documentaries from the individual ultimate releasess?

Creating the world of Harry potter (with the part 4:Sound and Music. that was good!)

Oh, i'm so confused with all the editions they make for a film.

Why don't they do one universal edition for all countries and get on with it!!

[JoeinAR 1,949]

I got Big Bang season 4 for 5 bucks at Walmart(I thought it was supposed to be 10 but it was only 5), along with ID4, Terminator, I am Legend, and Marley and Me.

for 10 bucks each I got Fast Five, Rio, C of N, Dawn Treader, and Xmen First Class for 10 bucks each.

Got Jurassic Park trilogy for 27.99, Evil Dead 2 for 10, Terminator 2 for 5, and A Christmas Carol for 10.

A Christmas Carol looks very good on blu, and the disc is loaded with all kinds of extras.

[Admiral Holdo 16]

I got Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Matrix (first one, natch) and Pineapple Express for $5 each. And that's the extent of my non-LLL Black Friday shopping.

[Trent Hoyt 13]

I picked up Lost Season 2 & 6. I spent $25 for the both of them in a Black Friday sale.

[King Mark 3,631]

I got the Lord of the Rings Extended for 39$cdn and JP trilogy for 33$ . This week at Costco Canada

JP packaging is incredibly crappy

[Maglorfin 196]

My last Blu-ray purchases:

This is not on Blu-ray, but still ...

And, of course ...

[A24 4,331]

The Reader (3 euro)

Too much!

Indeed, now that I've seen the film, it isn't very good, but hey, 3 Euro!

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[King Mark 3,631]

why is there so many fucking disks in the LotR box?

[Jay 37,353]

2 blu rays for each movie (because its so long) = 6

2 dvds of special features for each more (identical to the old special features discs) = 6

3 dvds containing a digital copy of each movie = 3

6 + 6 + 3 = 15

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Charlie Brigden 7]

The whole digital copy thing confuses me... whenever I get one and put the disc in, it just tells me to download it from iTunes - does it have anything on the actual disc bar a software front-end for the redemption?

[King Mark 3,631]

I dunno about those digital copies included

Do you have to sell your soul to actually download them? And there's probably so much DRM in them it might screw up my PC

[A24 4,331]

2 blu rays for each movie (because its so long) = 6

2 dvds of special features for each more (identical to the old special features discs) = 6

3 dvds containing a digital copy of each movie = 3

6 + 6 + 3 = 15

I'm glad I'm not a fan.

[Jay 37,353]

3 dvds containing a digital copy of each movie = 3

I'm not so sure about that... Don't these three other discs contain the Costa Botes documentaries?

Nope

[King Mark 3,631]

So I also retroactively got 20$ back on the HP 8 Movie collection so it cost me 79$cdn

[Maglorfin 196]

2 blu rays for each movie (because its so long) = 6

2 dvds of special features for each more (identical to the old special features discs) = 6

3 dvds containing a digital copy of each movie = 3

6 + 6 + 3 = 15

In my collection box, disc 5 in each of the movie boxes contains no digital copy but Behind the Scenes Costa Botes footage, like BloodBoal said. Maybe European version of this collection is different from American?

[Jay 37,353]

Interesting!

Same here, British release. I should watch those discs someday, actually.

[filmmusic 1,827]

to whoever likes Hitchcock:

Rebecca and Notorious come to bluray on january 24th!!!!

[scallenger 483]

Question for Star Trek fans (which I know many of you are). Is it true that the only way to get the first film, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, on BluRay is to get it in the box set of the "original" films? And either way, which version of the film is on BluRay, and is it worth it? Thanks.

[Charlie Brigden 7]

You can buy it separately and it's the theatrical cut (hooray!) It looks good, although has all the flaws of the original cut being unfinished at the time (although it's not necessarily a bad thing).

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

I like the theatrical version, but I wouldn't mind the DE upgraded someday.

[scallenger 483]

Well, from my searches it seems to only be available separately as a Region B Blu Ray, not Region A (which is what I need). So it seems for Region A people the only way to get this is in the box set, which is crap because you can apparently get the other ones separately.

[Charlie Brigden 7]

I found it in region a on amazon

i really can't understand people who have a problem with the Region (only if it's a matter of subtitles).

Just with a little software, and your bluray can play everything.

unless you're on a bluray player and not on bluray on your pc. I'm not sure how it's done there..

By the way, looking forward for this in January:

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

I'm betting most people will have a dedicated player rather the a Blu-ray drive. and then it matters.

My 25 Euro mode appears to be region free.

[King Mark 3,631]

Yes I only wan to watch Blu Rays on a dedicated player on my HDTV

I don't even want a blu ray drive on my PC

There's only a handful of standalone Blu players that are region free. Most others are free for DVD region codes but not for Blu.

[scallenger 483]

I found it in region a on amazon

Can you link it for me? I can't seem to find it. I keep coming across this one that is labeled as Region B:

http://www.amazon.co.../dp/B002XISFGS/

And like some here, I also do not have a Blu Ray player through my computer, but an actual player connected to a TV, so regions do matter in my case.

[Maglorfin 196]

Received couple of days ago:

[A24 4,331]

By the way, looking forward for this in January:

French edition Region B

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Picked up Citizen Kane and The Magnificent Ambersons set from Amazon, and used my Shopkick points to get Rushmore and 12 Angry Men from Best Buy.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

Any time they want to release the Indiana Jones movies, we're all ready.

Oh ok. That's the one I found.

Although according to this site it is in fact region free: http://forum.blu-ray.com/blu-ray-movies-north-america/186228-blu-rays-released-region-b-territories-region-free.html (at least the boxset version is, can't imagine it's different)

[filmmusic 1,827]

Any time they want to release the Indiana Jones movies, we're all ready.

oh, yes!!! Waiting for my all time favourite adventure film: Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom!

By the way, I just watched Hook.

3-4 times I cried over John Williams' brilliant music and most of the time I was in goosebumps!!

I love this film too and I can't understand why it is so underrated.

You can't call yourself a JWFan and not have this film in Bluray!

I guess I'm not a JWFan for at least the next several months. I love that movie, but I don't have enough expendable income to be buying blu-rays right now!
