They must be processing Sheffield customers first then

BULL3T_OR_BLADE · 06-12-2007, 3:12 PM

Got got the word, mines processing too!

You guys who have it as 'processing' from Movietyme...when did you pre-order? I pre-ordered on 7th August. Did you guys pre-order before then?

What's annoying me is that dvdworldusa promised an advanced 'pre-street' option for £2 extra. There's no way they can deliver on that now as it's only 12 days until the actual release date. Take out two weekends and they've only got 8 days in which to do it?

I have it ordered from both sources as I'm getting one for a friend too, though mines the one that comes first!

Mines processing now too at MT, only ordered it about 3 weeks ago....

Seems they got their stock very early!

Processing from Movietyme means next to nothing anyway in my experience.

Could still take two weeks to actually reach you.

I ordered 19th August mate. They will get around to you I'm sure. I believe they process the payments manually so it takes time.....

What the hell does Region 13 mean with regard to Blu Ray as i was thinking of buying the briefcase but on dvdslimited it says it's Region 13? I thought Blu Rays were A,B,C or ALL.

They are regions A/B/C, for some reason DVDsLimited while being a good company dont give much thought to their item listings.

rebel_scum · 06-12-2007, 7:36 PM

My HD DVD set is also processing over at Movietyme. In you face Warners, with your gimped UK two disc nonsense!!

sandinista · 06-12-2007, 8:47 PM

Just noticed that Amazon uk have the briefcase and complete editions in their blu-ray new and future releases for Dec 17th (no prices).

enablerbro1 · 06-12-2007, 8:49 PM

Got an email from MT to say they were prepping my order for delivery.

Tejstar · 06-12-2007, 9:10 PM

No movement on my Amazon.com order yet...

cobbler · 06-12-2007, 9:13 PM

My HD DVD was posted from DVD Pacific today, £17.96 all in

bosque · 06-12-2007, 9:56 PM

Just seen a couple of screen-shots from the movie. With such a dark film you are not going to get a picture like Crank and whatever that mobile-phone movie with Adam Sandler was called. But are they really what we want films to look like ? From what I've seen, Blade Runner looks very close to what I've seen on a cinema screen and that's what I want an hi-def DVD to look like.

MrFurious · 06-12-2007, 11:06 PM

love this film, look forward to the briefcase

This might be an interesting read for some:

Blade Runner on the Cutting Edge

The studio that just remastered the 1982 sci-fi classic shows us how a great high-def disc is made.

UK version is, all other Warner titles are, so the expectation would be yes.

Mr Moo · 07-12-2007, 9:13 AM

I've got the UK 'gimped' version HD DVD on order from amazon because I don't want to have too many versions of the film and I already own the DC on DVD.

Outside of the final cut I think the other versions have limited novelty value to me and extras are a bit of a pain, particularly when there's too many - LOTR extended editions anyone? A good documentary and a few commentaries will suffice this jaded husk of a man.

The main thing is the film in HD, but the amazon thingy has the soundtrack CD included with it, which is nice. PLUS if disc 2 is an SD DVD it's the right region and PAL.
There.
There's my reasoning.
