Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Blu-ray

[The_Basterd]

Ok, is this seriously out on Blu-Ray? I have been waiting for this for years and it has been out? 2 stores say it's available for shipping? Best Buy's price of $35 is very expensive, but Target is just $25 isn't that bad. This can't be an import.. right? I've never seen Target nor Best Buy sell imports. I am super confused right now.

This is only available as an import. It has not been released domestically yet. The prices are most likely so high because of the fact that it is an import from Canada.

[thecardman23]

its an import from Canada or Japan. been available for about a year now. i sold a spare copy i had on the forum a while back for about $15. transfer is pretty good for pq. 4/5

Target and Best Buy sell imports?

[iam1bearcat]

don't buy it off BB.com, just go to amazon uk and buy it. i think it comes out to like $12-$15 bucks plus whatever the shipping is (which i hear isn't very much - right around what the US shipping is anyway), so its much cheaper than ordering from a different site.

this is my second favorite movie of all time.
definitely gonna pick this up soon. if i ever remember to go the uk site instead of the standard US site which is where i do all my shopping

just snagged it $14 shipped via Ebay (brand new). its also $14 shipped on amazon (new) right now. thx for the reminder. this is a no-brainer for this flick, provided the PQ is good as people say. how is the AQ? decent?

awwwwww snap. you got in trouble

I had heard the Japanese release had great PQ, don't know anything about the Canadian one...I never got around to purchasing it.

[tylerdurden10]

I wouldn't get too excited about the Canadian release, it's from Alliance & they are notorious for releasing movies not in the OAR, not to mention it's probably bare bones (no extras). I would either wait for a proper US release or import from UK or Japan granted those have good PQ & AQ

[steve_dave]

There is no UK release of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind...

Just Canada which is OAR with DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio and Japan which is also OAR with Dolby TrueHD 5.1 audio.

The Japanese release includes the commentary by Michel Gondry and that's it.

Get the Canadian release which is a lot cheaper unless you really want to pay a premium price just to have a commentary.

while you would be right most of the time with the alliance comment, there are some movies they do a good job on.. ie)

sin city
the illusionist
fanboys
trainspotting
goodwill hunting

and i will add eternal sunshine to that list. all the movies i listed were released by alliance in correct aspect ratio and 1080p transfers with DTS 5.1 sound. offcourse i will not argue about special features because you are correct they tend to leave those out, but i get the movie with good aq and pq i wont complain. i own eternal sunshine myself and have watched it twice, its a good transfer, believe me you wont regret picking up either jpn or cdn release.

I ordered this title from Amazon.ca a few months back and not only was it cheap but it came the very next day.

Just to be clear with anyone interested in this movie, I wasn't knocking Alliance releases, I was just letting anyone know that they sometimes aren't the best release, but in alot of cases it will be the only release for quite some time so it's better than nothing
