Silent Hill HD-DVD (German Release)

stevefish69 · 25-09-2007, 9:10 PM

I see that there is now a German version of Silent Hill on HD-DVD with VC1 encoding.

Has anyone imported this version yet, and if so where did you order it from ?

Pay Day is looming and i'd like to pick this one up without paying Fleabay prices

Thanks

Steve

I ordered my copy from amazon.de using babelfish to translate. After being shipped i recieved underworld & silent hill within 4 working days. cost about £34 including shipping for both.

PQ on silent hill is superb 10/10. Underworld PQ is ok but has some problems with dark scenes with background noise 8/10. Both AQ on these films is outstanding, I even had to rush to turn the volume down when first watching.

Both have easy to navigate menu's to change to english soudtrack from german.

May order resident evil 1 & 2 and brothers grimm from amazon this week.

I'm worried about mistranslating German to buy those sweeeeeet imports later in the year (Crank, T2 uber edition etc)

What's the delivery time /price like from Amazon.de?

i have been thinking about ordering this title myself .. i already own the region 3 dvd which has rather good PQ & a stonking full bitrate DTS track .. i have seen the bluray mpeg2 release and wasnt really that impressed.

I ordered Silent Hill from movietyme and it hasnt shipped which probably means its not in stock . \they're a bit lazy with their excuses . You can get it from xploited.com , its labelled 'In stock' and usually ships next day.

Anyone found a cheaper place to get this?
amazon.de want almost 30 euro when post is included

paulst10 · 27-09-2007, 12:00 PM

its got me thinking now .. anyone know when the US or UK hd-dvd gets a release?

surely it will now be the same VC1 transfer as the german release

gatty-jr-jr · 27-09-2007, 1:53 PM

movietyme have it for £17.99 including postage.

Silent hill HD-DVD will not be released in the UK or US as its a Sony studio film so Blu-ray only. In Germany its Concorde who are neutral.

It's based on a computer game in a similar way Resident Evil is. I thought this was a better film. Not brilliant but not a disaster either. The overall look of the film is pretty good. I'd watch it again.

Thanks guys

Just Ordered mine from Movietyme

Edit....It's been dispatched too, so they have stock on the shelf

My copy was despatched from Movietyme on thursday, so should arrive on monday. This was pretty well my only reason to want a Blu-Ray player so glad I found a region that has SH on HD-DVD!

Markoos · 04-10-2007, 7:10 AM

Mine arrived yesterday. Excellent picture quality and the the DTS-HD audio is a big step up from the standard DVD's 5.1 mix. Great film too, though not for everyone.
