"Saw" Blu-ray US Version VS German Import - Blu-ray Forum

mpstjohn · 12-25-2008, 04:19 PM

I was thinking of purchasing the Saw Blu-ray but noticed it only had a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track and it would kind of be a waste for the money I already spent on my DTS-HD and TrueHD capable Onkyo sound system.

So I checked www.xploitationcinema.com and noticed they had a Region Free German Import that has a 5.1 DTS-HD English Audio Track.

Anybody actually watched the German Import of this or read a review?

I'd like to know how the two versions compare otherwise but in searching "Saw" in the forums section it turns out sooner or later pretty much everybody has used the word in the context of watching something.

xploitationcinema.com has it for 42.95 but amazon.de has it for EUR 23.99 (33.86 US).

I think exploitedcinema closed their business long time ago..

Anyway, I watched the NL version(DTSHD) a week ago and I can tell you its a solid track, offers nice dynamics and surround effects, dialog is clear. if you appreciate more audio choices in your BD then go for it. btw mediadis sell it for Eur 18..

They're still open and selling merchandise, but they're not stocking any new stuff.

There is a UK edition of the uncut version coming next year. Are the imports uncut and are the picture qualities better than the lackluster LG US release?
