Zodiac Blu-ray Jan 1, 2013

The movie and the extras are all encoded on the same disc. One of the longer featurettes/docs, "Zodiac Deciphered", is not in HD. Early printings had a slipcover.

I want to get this in the near future but for some reason it is very hard to find. Futureshop locally hasnt had it in ages, same with Amazon.ca and there are only like 3 copies on Ebay and they are all too expensive. What gives...

Maybe its out of print or something. Thats all i can think of for why it wouldn't be readily available.

The_Basterd · 05-07-2010, 01:56 AM

I was going to post the same thing a few days ago, but I didn't, because I wasn't sure if it was worth a thread.
The price on Amazon.com has risen to $30.49!
I bought it about 2 months ago for about $14.99 off Amazon.
Not one store near me carries it, besides I found one at a Barns N' Noble for like 40 dollars, which was a complete rip-off.
I think it's going out of print?
I also checked Best Buy stores all over the U.S on their website out of curiosity, no one has it. (I mean not everywhere, but in the big cities)

Maybe there is a re-release coming soon and they are phasing out this version.

There is no real reason to though. The film is only three years old and this release was a stellar one from what I have read (great PQ and loaded special features). I'm guessing it's just one of those titles that just isn't readily available for some strange reason.

Zodiac is one of my favorite blu's. A rerelease of a director's cut?

Let's hope this is it and not that it's simply going to be discontinued.

That's strange...I've seen a few copies of Zodiac on Blu-ray at my local futureshop and bestbuy, but they're all selling for over $30

ReservoirFiction · 05-29-2010, 08:36 PM

I was lucky enough to find one at Blockbuster for $30. I snapped up since I've been looking for one forever.

MaCruz · 05-30-2010, 05:51 AM

PM me if you want to trade or buy. I watched it the first time today and I thought it was okay.

Using that Barnes & Noble "GSA" deal, this can be had for $23.70 right now.

kcping1 · 05-30-2010, 04:52 PM

I got it from Borders.com last week, I used one of the coupon codes and got it for $22.

Vorhees13 · 07-01-2010, 11:14 PM

I was able to pick this up used at BlockBuster in EXCELLENT condition today.

$9.99

Right place, right time

Anyone interested in my DVD version, PM me

The Theory · 07-01-2010, 11:36 PM

Oh man, this thread is a great reminder that I definitely needed to get this.

But those blu-rays are sounding a touch pricey. So I'm going to be quite happy with the HD-DVD version I just scored on ebay. Can't wait to see this!

Propellarhead9 · 07-01-2010, 11:44 PM

I need to find myself a couple of it. I love the movie.
