The Incredibles - USA BD - April 12:

http://www.amazon.com/Incredibles-Four- ... rhf_shvl_2

I can't seem to find a cheaper version than that - usually there's a 2 disc version with these release as well (see Toy Story 3, Up).

Why the HELL would The Incredibles warrant a 4-disc release? What is this? VCD? They're nuts.

I like the movie a lot, although I'm not sure I think it's the best Pixar. I really would love some sequels though, cause the first one is pretty much just a set-up for lots more adventures.

The Incredibles is great, but Toy Story 2 and 3 are even better :)
I have no need for the DVD or the Digital Copy.

Doh! :D

Memento - comparing the 10th AE with an older US BD:

http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDRevie ... lu-ray.htm

AE wins hands down but the US BD must have been an early effort.
I'll get the 10th AE some day.

It was a very early release. MPEG2/LPCM usually means early release and a great combination for a low video bitrate too.

I wish they'd also compared the current UK BD though.

Thanks Salty. Extras look about the same as the DVD SE.

I said about the same. I couldn't be bothered to check exactly because they're just about all there, so it's fine for me. It's confirmed 5.1 only though :angry:

The DVDs are all non-anamorphic and barebones!

It's obviously not up there with Beverly Hills Cop 1 or 2 (when are they coming to BD?) but it is one of Murphy's better films. The sequel is okay I guess.
