Aside from the extended cut aspect the BD is less than £15. If I was a pessimist I'd say it serves the stubborn people right who're only supporting one format

It's a German release, did anyone expect it to be good value for money? German (and French) releases (even DVD) are always a rip off.

Its the ONLY way to get the extended cut, so I do not want the standard cut (which is way cheaper than £15 anyway, try under £10 ) so its the German version with Nail gun in leg action, or nothing.

It has nothing at all to do with HD DVD or Blu Ray, I just want this new cut and this HD DVD is the way to go. Shame it costs so much, but it is probibly worth it (just!). Will wait a little longer and see what other companies price it as.

If it was not in my top 3 films of last year, I probibly would not even think about paying £20 for it

Some aren't, most are. To be fair it's run by one guy (I think) and is a new venture from his reviews website.

You paid way more for Resident Evil German DVD . I know I was only checking very quickly on the Crank BD price, where can it be bought for under £10 though?

How come there is no German DVD?

Crank has been in sales for well under £10 many times, no idea where as I dont care about the Blu Ray.

German dvd?

There is no Crank German DVD of the TC or EC???

No idea. Look on amazon.de, its either there or its not. I dont want the crap DVD I want HD

You said it's the only way to get the EC you were specific about it. I find it odd there is an Extended HD Disc but not DVD.

I dont give a shit about the dvd even if there is one, I want HD.

Beowulf in February-looks crap but i imagine it'd be a great demo disc

Get your act together Warner :shock:

Does this mean only the PIP version is 1080i or the actual film version too? If it's the former it's no HUGE loss I guess. 1080i on a Full HD TV would be deinterlaced anyway so should still look good. Those with HD Ready TVs won't be able to tell the difference anyway.

I'd still upgrade if it's the latter for when I got a Full HD TV, but would probably pick up the HD-DVD second hand anyway.

" excitement soon turned to disappointment for some early adopters when it was discovered that regular playback of the disc is being limited to 1080i output -- not the industry standard 1080p, as listed on the box art." regular playback would indicate the movie itself,i reckon.

Good point, thanks.

The trouble with these cockups is it's always impossible to find out which batch a store has. It's always pot lock if you'll get it fixed or not.

Beowulf will be available in a director's cut,i assume the hd-dvd will be this version.

Yup gore and naked ladies and some bad language. Some of which you can see in the early trailers. Not a kids film.

Its one of the few ok films I would consider gettng on HD just to show off the picture, as I can imagine the transfer will be stunning.

I never saw the point of justifying a potential mediocre purchase by "Oh, it would make a good demo disc".

I'd buy only A. favourites and B. films that are actually worth the time of day on HD. DVD is fine for everything else.

There's no reason why a "demo disc" can't have excellent visuals + sonics AND be an outstanding film at the same time. Blade Runner would be a perfect candidate for this, with its simply sublime cinematography, editing, sound design and score.

Personally I'd never buy a film "just because it happens to be a good demo disc". It would be a waste of money.

I'm not sure if this has been posted, but here is a list of Paramount Blu-ray discs:

Note where it says: "There will be no "recall" of any past Blu-ray titles, the studio will cease production on its entire Blu-ray catalog, and they will no longer be available once current market supplies have been depleted."

And here's a list of Region A and Region B locked titles. It's similar to the main one at http://bluray.liesinc.net/ but due to the layout it's easier to have a quick glance of what is region locked:

http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?showtopic=50447

Pan's Labyrinth UK BD is in fact Region Free. The only "Region B ONLY" title I would pick up is The Crow so no huge loss.

Demos are for showrooms.

I only buy the films I like best.

Info about the UK Crow BD:

I am not very happy as this disk will not play in 1080i, it will only play in standard def. This will only play in 1080 via HDMI and not component. Also mpeg 2 so image is really grainy and I would go as far as to say this is the worst looking movie I have on BD

I've never heard of a HD Disc that has actually utilised the "Image constraint token" before.

Lol, from EIV. Is anyone surprised??

Nope.

It also really narks me off how they're the only (I think) HD company who for the most part just re-use the same DD5.1 and/or DTS soundtrack as found on DVD instead of giving us a proper new HD Audio track.

A few they've upgraded but most their BDs use the legacy tracks. Lazy knobs!

Wherehouse shipped my Timecop hd-dvd pre-order.apparently it's no longer a combo.

That sucks, they should have lowered the price a load then!
