it's because that's not true. bb get's a lot of movies in stock before release. videogames they usually get the night before though.

Does anyone know if Target's in store price will be $20? I was gonna pick it up at Best Buy, but now that I see it has a slip cover I'd rather not. My Best Buy always puts their price stickers on them, not to mention they're usually in pretty banged up condition.

I would guess Target will stock the title and I feel the same way with the slip cover cases, I can't imagine it would be over 19.99 since everyone else is just about at that price point.

slimer mode is a PIP (picture in picture) commenary style way of watching the film. at various focus points it pops up and taks about the behind the scenes stuff.

Today is the most exciting day ever. Even more exciting than the day I got my Ghostbusters tattoos.

Yeah, so am I. I didn't really think that through at the time. That, and 3 was just a rumor when I got these.

Target does have it w/ slipcover case NOT price stickers for 19.99

Chakizie · 06-16-2009, 05:51 PM

The Criterion laserdisc version was a better representation of the original look of the film. I'm actually in shock about how terrible the picture is here. This is not what Lazlo Kovacs shot. At all.

On the BD they corrected the issues from the 2005 Transfer.

In this review you will see a comparison between DVD 99, DVD 05 and BD 09:

Color separation on the Blu Ray is way better than on the dvd from 2005.
Colors are also better in my opinion.

Contrast still looks boosted. But better than on the 05 DVD.
Check out the screenshot comparison in the review.

And Sony said that the DoP was involved in the Blu Ray Transfer before he died.

Got mine with the videogame at midnight last night... I feel like a kid again

DrinkMore · 06-16-2009, 08:35 PM

MaCruz · 06-16-2009, 09:34 PM
