Universal 100 Collection - Blu-ray Forum

TheManWithNoName · 10-29-2012, 10:32 AM

Hi, y'all!

While in JB today picking up E.T. and Spider-Man I noticed that they had a Blu-ray version of King Kong in the Universal 100 packaging - like Jaws and E.T. - in the digibook. Does anyone know of any other Australian releases in the Universal 100??

King Kong digibook hmm didnt see that at my local, how much was it?

I'd be interested too — I was gearing up to buy it from the UK.

I wonder if they'll be getting the Gladiator digibook as well?

Was it the remake or the 1933 version?

I've seen the remake of King Kong at my local Wal-mart with the Universal 100the slipcover so I'd bet this digibook is the same version. The original, I believe, was released thru Warner.

Remake. (Second remake, if we want to be picky, I guess.) Isn't the 1933 version owned by Warner Bros?

It is, but it wasn't released here.

Yes, it was there today. $23.99 if I remember correctly. There were a bunch of other titles too (Spartacus?).

Gladiator. King Kong, Spartacus & Mamma Mia are the ones I saw today

MacEachaidh · 10-30-2012, 03:57 AM

Thanks A, yeah, I spoke to my local JB just now, they've got King Kong, Gladiator, Spartacus, Atonement and Mamma Mia, just in.

They're £12.59 on Amazon UK, due out in about three weeks, so I guess $23.99 isn't too much more expensive when you remove VAT but add shipping.

Now I just have to decide whether to buy the E.T. digibook, or keep the UK steelbook. Any thoughts, anyone?

Personally I think the E.T steel is a bit
