Re: Fifth Element Remastered Release date ?
Amazon.com are quoting July 17th. Guess that could change nearer the date though.

Re: Fifth Element Remastered Release date ?
Surely the big question will be if they allow the people that bought the first release to trade it in for the new one!

Re: Fifth Element Remastered Release date ?
I believe Sony are having a trade in service where you send them your Copy and they send you the remastered Version but that's just rumour at the moment.

The Fifth Element Blu-ray Disc Exchange

One other high-def note this morning. I've confirmed with Sony that their remastered The Fifth Element Blu-ray Disc will be released on 7/17. Sony's worked meticulously on the video master (encoded in AVC) to ensure that the quality on this version is far superior to the previous (and disappointing) Blu-ray Disc release, which was one of Sony's first when the format debuted last year. You'll be able to tell the new version from the previous release by the inclusion of a Dolby TrueHD soundtrack in addition to LPCM (both encoded in 16bit due to the age of the master - having both in the same bit depth means you'll be able to use the title to ensure that your audio equipment is playing back TrueHD correctly). The best news of all, however, is that I've confirmed with Sony that there WILL be an exchange program for those of you who have already purchased the previous, sub-par edition. Sony is still working out the details on this and we'll announce them here as soon as they're available.
Taken from another forum. So read into it what you want

Re: Fifth Element Remastered Release date ?
Go to play.com, type in the fifth element, on fifth element (region 1, playtrade) click buy, pay for it, wait 5 days, shove it in your PS3 and hey presto, region 1 fifth element blu--ray works on UK PS3's with firmware update 1.80 or later...

Re: Fifth Element Remastered Release date ?
I know the first one was region free, but are you guys assuming the remaster will also be region free, or do you all have region A players?

Re: Fifth Element Remastered Release date ?
Region A all the way!

Personally cannot wait for this - they really messed up with the initial release so this better be a masterpiece! There are so many amazing scenes to showcase what high definition picture is!

Re: Fifth Element Remastered Release date ?
I'll wait until it's release date and see if Movietyme add it to their PAL PS3 playback section.. they should do the first was so i see no reason to add region A only just because the PQ is improved.

Re: Fifth Element Remastered Release date ?
Mine was posted yesterday from DVDPacific - fingers crossed it's a corker!!

Unfortunately their delivery times have been getting worse for me - had to wait 2 weeks on Blood Diamond HD-DVD but am not worried as they're nearly always the cheapest around.
