Re: Blade Runner - HD DVD / BluRay

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!

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.

Re: Blade Runner - HD DVD / BluRay

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.

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.

Re: Blade Runner - HD DVD / BluRay

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.
