Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
I used to love that film, I wouldn't like to guess at how many times I've seen it. First saw it in 1985 I think, I was 5 years old and I can remember being **** scared when I had to go to bed, made sure I checked under the bed and in the cupboards for gremlins... lol..I don't buy Blu-ray but I'll definitely rent it..Hope the PQ is good and it has some decent extras

Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
Got my order in (comes out a few days before my birthday), but I'm not hopeful due to the postal strikes. Having said that, I heard rumours Amazon might be dropping RM for another carrier so you never know.

According to the news Amazon have said they have an alternative courier in case of a strike.

Watching the US version at the moment and this isn't going to win any awards for AV but its still the best its ever looked on home media.

Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
I don't really consider DVDBeaver to be a review site, just a glorified screencap site (he went way overboard with his Gladiator praise). HDD is okay. Best thing to do is read a wide variety of sites and find those where the reviewers have similar tastes to yours.

Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
I don't trust any review site, even this one. Very few individuals would sway my decisions either, but those that do post on this site. I won't name names, but none of them have Dark City or Gladiator in their collection...

Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
I got my order in at Amazon when it first appeared and it looks like they are going to honour the £9.98 price which apparently was a mistake

No sign of movement on mine at Amazon. Still, for £9.69 I'm happy to wait a little bit longer for it.

Mine has shipped from HMV, so it should get here before the postal strike kicks in again.

Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
Anybody had any joy from amazon yet?

I orderd this and Heat in one order when they were first listed at under a tenner.

I also went for the free postage so will they be sent together once Heat is released?
