Yeah, my copy of the movie doesn't have any audio sync problems at all.

I haven't noticed anything so far either. Whereabout in the film is there supposed to be sound problems?

People are experiencing it after the Chapter 15 break.

Great news, guys! Marked for Death on sale at Amazon for $14.49. I wonder if anyone else besides me cares about this?

I have pledged to buy every theatrically released Steven Seagal movie on bluray and dedicate an entire section of my shelf to it. Shelf of shame.

Picked up Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band: London Calling: Live In Hyde Park and it totally makes up for the last Springsteen release on bluray; the image and sound are fantastic.

Well I finally got to experience the Back to the Future packaging. I ended up just snapping off the spring tabs so the disc just pops in and out without having to press down. I felt like an idiot trying to figure out how to put the disc back in.

Edit: Huh, according to the PDF Universal sent me you're suppose to push down on the tabs with your thumb and pinkie and the disc slides out.

Never seen the movie but I'm contemplating going back and making a blind buy. Should I do it?

One of the best blindbuys I've ever made. William Petersen is so drat good in this movie; and the actual bluray itself is top notch.

I like the little differences with the .uk Amazon such as the shopping cart being called a basket. Just ordered that Coen Brothers set, when I put it in my basket the price went down to 12.66 and shipping was only an additional 3.08. Are there any really good bluray releases that are region free not released here in North America to be aware of?

Just quickly skimmed the initial posts here regarding the Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection and didn't see this listed. There's a UK 'mantlepiece' Limited Edition Set of this release that is 14 films, not 15 (North By Northwest is only in the US release). With the VAT dropping off it comes to $135 CAD including shipping - much cheaper than the US or Canadian release.

I'm assuming these discs are going to be region-free but it hasn't been confirmed. What a beautiful release.

Ordered this, they also have ... Friends The Complete Series for the same price.

What's funny is reading the blu-ray.com forums and watching people who paid $30 for this piece of poo poo fall all over themselves trying to justify their purchase.

"Well, if I turn the Blue setting on my TV all the way down and the Red and Green settings all the way up, this looks pretty good "

The funny part is that the Night of the Living Dead bluray thread there has more pages to it than this thread. Those people are sick.

Have any of you guys ever ordered movies from Family Video? I was wondering if they're alright to buy from. It seems they're selling the Hitchcock set for 174.99 which is 50 bucks cheaper than Amazon last I checked.

If you're okay with losing North by Northwest, you should get the UK set it's only 90 pounds (About 145 USD/CAD)and is region free. That price includes shipping.
