Don't forget that the Lethal Weapon Collection is coming out tomorrow in the UK. The whole series has been remastered and is presented region free/uncut (woot!!). Costs about $50 shipped to import ($12.50 per movie aint bad). No US release planned as of now.

Sorrowful be the heart
Does anyone want to sell me their Korean Thirst blu-ray? It's so expensive :(

On k2dvd there seems to be a 1-disc version and a 3-disc version, with the 3-disc being cheaper. Is it completely different packaging or what?

Edit: Nevermind, the 3-disc is just the DVD copy. Jesus.

The CJ Blu-Rays are pricey, but worth every penny. Except for Arahan, which I spent nearly 40 goddamn dollars on only to find out there's a significant authoring error that causes the subtitles to be out of sync with the dialog.

gently caress don't tell me poo poo like that. My hand keeps reaching for my wallet under its own power.

Along the same line, I think you mentioned the Tartan "I'm a Cyborg..." disc a while back. It's pretty cheap on amazon.co.uk, but I'm assuming I wouldn't be able to watch the special features without a region-free player. Still, it's probably worth it.

Yeah, unfortunately the special features on that disc are standard definition and PAL, but otherwise it's marvelous - one of the cleanest transfers I've seen on BD (I guess "transfer" doesn't technically apply since it was shot digitally but you know what I mean).

Good news on the 3D front: the previously hardware-exclusive Coraline is coming to retail January 4. I thought the 3D looked great in the theater so it'll be nice to pick this up and finally have a good demo disc.

Also of interest to anyone looking to get into 3D or who would just like to get a new player for cheap: Disney is offering a 3D-capable Sony Blu-ray player for $59.99 (70 percent off) with the purchase of five movies. These include titles like Fantasia, Beauty & the Beast and several Pixar titles.

Just redeemed my codes for this. FYI for anybody who's interested, 6-8 week estimated delivery and S&H for me was $15. Neither of which were listed in the offer details.

Strange game-- the only winning move is not to play.
FYI for those of you who might be in the market for a blu-ray player, i bought an LG BD570 from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/LG-BD570-Network-Blu-ray-Player/dp/B0036WT1RW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1289835575&sr=8-1) and i like it so far. I've only watched one movie (Scott Pilgrim) but i've used the Pandora option a lot and have streamed some youtube videos on it with no problem. The only thing i don't like about it so far is that while it is wireless and supports 802.11n, it only supports the 2.4ghz frequency. I had to set my router back to that instead of the less-cluttered 5ghz one. Oh it also found an update and it took forever to download it (40 megs or so) and failed a few times having to start over. At one point i went to LG's website and downloaded the update and threw it on a thumbdrive, didn't get to test this update method as the wireless download one worked before i could try (of course) but i'm guessing you have to turn wifi off to get it to check a thumbdrive since i couldn't figure out a way to manually tell it "hey stupid don't use the wifi, use the usb port".

The way the discs are stored is a little strange (though ultimately very secure), but on the whole this is one of the best (if not the single best) packages for an individual film on Blu-Ray.

Kino's release of Metropolis has been delayed a week :(

quote:

The date change is probably related to an issue with region coding: this Blu-ray was supposed to be locked to region A, just like Eureka's Masters of Cinema release will be locked to region B. However, due to a miscommunication, the first pressing of Kino's release was not region coded. Kino Video has admitted the error and assured that future pressings will be region-A locked. The one-week delay will make it possible to issue correct discs from day one.

Amazon dropped the prices on some boxsets.

Dirty Harry Collection = $35.99 ($7.20 a movie) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00319ECGU?ie=UTF8&tag=evdaisafi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00319ECGU

I'm really impressed with the sheer amount of bonus material and how great it all looks, but I am seriously hating these paper sleeves. It's really awkward getting the discs in and out and the flaps keep catching on the "sleeves". Alien Anthology-style packaging would've been way better.

Heh, that's awesome. I think I am going to start looking into a region-free player (it's not like I use my PS3 to play games any more anyway). Any recommendations? I'd prefer something with a variety of zoom options so I can watch my non-anamorphic DVDs (thanks a lot, Facets Video!) somewhat properly.
