I've been after this (also as a blind buy) but have seen various sites mix up the cases to the point of my utter confusion and ended up not chancing it. Even on the DVDBeaver comparison they mix up the cases (I think ) ; the Echo Bridge (they say is on the right) clearly says Miramax at the top.

Can you enlighten me at all?

The one with the holographic 'swoosh' on the cover, is the old release, released by Miramax.

Even the Echo Bridge artwork is zoomed in, lol

When Miramax went to the wall, the titles went here there and everywhere. Echo Bridge secured a few and are milking the name, while releasing bottom drawer transfers.

Still waiting on the copy of The Boure Coleection Blu-Ray, was dispatched monday by The Hut. On there website it says free delivery is royal mail, now does this mean normal royal mail or parcel force, as wondering if it will turn up later.

This morning Mr Postman brought me The loneliness of the long distance runner

Remember seeing this one afternoon in the school holidays back in the days of only 4 channels on the telly. The film has been wedged firmly into my mind ever since and I'm quite excited to see what it's like on Blu-Ray

Edit: meant to add that I got this for £12 via Amazon Marketplace, which seems to be an excellent price for this at the moment. Am suitably pleased!

Looking good, going on the to buy list, I would buy it straight away but am curtailing my blu purchasing somewhat in an attempt to tackle the unwatched pile.

War Horse bluray/dvd combo

Got this on it's way from Dvdworldusa , its street release is April 4th I think over there but they seem to ship new releases 2-3 weeks before that.

Expensive way to get it , but I really want to see this and I dont often buy blurays so I thought I might as well pay a little extra to get it early.

After watching Batman Begins last weekend i needed to pick up.....

The Dark Knight £11 Tesco

That's it for standard blu's for me for a while. Going to try and get through my unwatched pile. Only things i will continue to pick up/pre order are special editions and steelbooks. Going to find it hard as there is a few tempting 2 for £10 offers and £5 blu's but i'm sure they'll come up again.
