Face/Off --- Where are you getting it??? - Blu-ray Forum

SilverBullet007 · 05-15-2008, 03:12 PM

Since I get all my Blus from amazon, I am confused as hell on where to get this title. No question I want it release date. I would go to my local Best Buy, but I'm worried that they might not even get it on the 20th. Where are you guys getting your copies from?

Poonking · 05-15-2008, 03:14 PM

I'm not getting it. Try target or wal-mart you might have better luck

SDon1969 · 05-15-2008, 03:16 PM

DVD Empire, search for the thread that has "Paramount" and "DVD Empire", I think it included a $8-off code. I preordered this along with We Were Soldiers & Shooter.

I am skipping this title too. No lossless audio = no sale.

If I get it, it would definitely be from Japan. Lossless audio and better video.

Guys. Don't make this illogical decision for this particular title. The DTS ES 6.1 track easily rivaled the LPCM track in terms of directionality though the LFE sounded was a bit more pronounced on the latter. The DTS ES mix is also on par with many titles with lossless audio. The difference ain't huge and I mean it. However if Paramount has applied DNR like they did on the HD DVD release you are more than welcome to pass on this one.

miked924 · 05-15-2008, 04:18 PM

I'm sure Amazon will have it, pre-ordering means nothing. My life will go on if I don't have a flick I saw a bunch of times the day it comes out

Crème Blu-ray · 05-15-2008, 04:18 PM

I've already ordered mine from DVD Empire.

mdtulp · 05-15-2008, 04:40 PM

used at Hastings, or a pawn shop for 10 bucks

Sky_Captain · 05-15-2008, 06:04 PM

Is this being re-encoded for a BD-50? I'll wait for other people's opinions on this one, if it's as DNR'd as the HD DVD, then I'll pass.

KenThompson · 05-15-2008, 06:04 PM

Where ever I can get it the cheapest. Best Buy or Walmart.

Well then, I'm glad we have your approval.

Anyone know how good or bad the UK import compares to the paramount us release? it looks like the us release got decent marks on this sites review but wondering if I shoudl go for the import

danielpwnz · 05-17-2008, 08:47 PM

Had a friend who works at Best Buy check on this for me. All the local stores have two on order, but they have not currently arrived yet.

WickyWoo · 05-17-2008, 09:15 PM

The UK/Japan release has better PQ and lossless audio, but no extras
