I'm looking for a decent region free player so I can start picking up Criterion movies etc but I only know about Oppo's stuff and they feel a bit pricey.
 
The Oppo BDP-80 is a decent price.

There are modded region-free players from a lot of manufacturers, though. My friend has a Panasonic, and there are several Sony models as well.
 
For what you get I'm sure it's nice but I already have a bluray player and just need something for a handful titles. Picking up an oppo from my country (sweden) will start at 950$, if I import from the us it will most likely get stuck in customs and I'd hate to deal with everything should it ever break down. I'll probably just pick up some cheap player from amazon and have two instead.

I want to pick this up but I wish they had just done a "regular" complete edition without all that extra junk.

Does anybody know an internet site where I can get imported French Blu-rays? My girlfriend bought us a copy of OSS 117 Rio ne répond plus on blu-ray when she was in Cannes and it's really really really funny. It's like Black Dynamite for spy movies. But I found out it's the sequel. I would never have known because it's like 1000x better than Austin Powers. Anyway I need the first movie now.

Same here, I wish they had a complete release without all that junk. I just want the discs. And buying the seasons separately doesn't get you all the special features, blah.

At least it looks like the set contains a simple looking case for the discs, but I would rather not pay for stuff I'm never going to use or even display.
 
I need some comedy and light watching in my collection so I picked up Knocked Up and 40 Yr Old Virgin at BB for $20 total today as well as The Hangover for $14.99 and then grabbed The Aviator for $9.99

I really want to get Shutter Island but $26 is crazy, any deals on it?
 
Finally!

We've been telling you - and not just recently but for a while now! - that Image Entertainment is working on a high-def Blu-ray Disc release of Rod Serling's original 1959 series, The Twilight Zone - Season 1. It's been more than just a rumor for a while now, since Amazon.com has been accepting pre-orders for the title since April. But now Image has officially announced the details!

The Twilight Zone - Season 1 will arrive on Blu-ray this coming September 14th, a 5-disc set that - as previously reported - will cost $99.98 SRP. You can pre-order it at a nice discount from Amazon, however. Video is remastered in high definition, but retains the original 1.33:1 aspect ratio as originally broadcast. Similarly, the audio retains the original English mono format as it was first aired, but it will be an uncompressed PCM track for the very best possible sound quality. There will also be English subtitles, too.

Information about any extras has not been listed by Image at this time (although we're sure it will have, at minimum, the same special features included in Image's 2004 DVD release...and probably some new supplements beyond that!). Stay tuned for updates. For now, though, here's a nice big look at the packaging:

I can't believe it's going to be $100 for one season. You can get the Complete Definitive Edition on DVD for a little more than that.
 
Price is ridiculous. I'll wait for PQ impressions from the anal geeks at AVS before deciding wether to get the BD or complete DVD set. Season 2 had a few episodes recoded on videotape, they better not charge as much for that season.

Has anyone picked up the Dollars trilogy release yet?

Impressions (transfer wise)?

I didn't pick it up, but looking at this review it seems that For a Few Dollars More is genuinely good looking. On the other hand, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is the same as the previously-released standalone, which isn't, and A Fistful of Dollars is about the same. There are better looking import versions of the two sub-par discs, MGM not using those transfers is disappointing.

Disappointing to hear.
I'll take a look into RHV Ripley editions. Thanks
 
Ok, so I just noticed that LOTR was released in April. I had no idea. WTF GAF?

Anyone watched it? How's the quality? Bonuses? Is it the theatrical version, or extended?

I NEEDZ ANSWERS.

just theatrical :( fucking rip-off.
 
for some strange reason, I just can't sit through Wolfman. I watched it for the 3rd time last night, and still haven't finished it yet. The brutal wolf killings are cool though, and the transfer is really nice.

Just saw this on Amazon:
PRODUCT ALERT:
"The Lord of the Rings (Extended Editions)" is scheduled to be released on Blu-ray in 2011 or 2012.

This has to be a joke right? They just want people to give up, buy the TE, and then double dip in a few months with the EE, right?

... right? :/
 
Raist said:
The. fuck. is. that. shit.
Did they decide to completely ruin the BD release?
Blah, I'll just pass and hope that the EE improves a lot of things (if it's ever released that is).
Click to expand...
Yeah, I'm also holding out for a better release.
 
The hate for LotR on blu is really rather blind.
While the set is not stellar, all three transfers are better than any of the dvd releases and with the Hobbit in limbo the EE might be a bit off.

No shit, this excuse gets used way too often. I don't care about visual quality near as much as say, those on the avs forums, but DNR use on a huge title like The Fellowship of the Ring is pretty much inexcusable and a perfectly good reason to avoid a release, especially since we know there's another, better release, hopefully with a better transfer coming in the future.
 
I know I'm a little late on the LOTR stuff, but for anyone interested in the Extended Editions check this out:

http://www.thedigitalbits.com/articles/ringsbdmp/index.html

It's probably going to be a while before we get the EEs, but when we do it's not just going to be a re-release of the current DVD EEs, but will include lots of hi-def new stuff in a boxed set. I don't know if they'll even release each EE title individually, I doubt it. So really this is something you should only be looking forward to if you're a super fan and are prepared to spend the $$$ to prove your love. I don't think there's any shame in buying the theatrical versions now, I would myself if I didn't have these things memorized as it is.
