It will be 27.95 on amazon. Dvdempire are a little higher. But there free shipping gets to my house in 2 days. They ship same day, so do the math. 2 days is great. But I have been ordering from Amazon instead as of late.

I'm getting ID, but not sure about Cast Away. I liked the movie, but don't know if I want to see it again.

well, if it makes ya feel better my ID4 is gonzo, and I traded in my cast away dvd for store credit yesterday. Im getting both on BD

snake · 10-04-2007, 05:52 AM

Also i noted on the future releases on dvdempire that there's only a total of tiny 29 titles, 15 of them are "exclusives", on HD-CRAP, while on the BLU-RAY side there's a booming 85 titles in total with 45 of them exclusives.

He he he, and the HD fanboys feel optimistic!!!

supersix4 · 10-04-2007, 05:54 AM

its fox lol overcharging is there game but good and great movies I will gladly drop 36.00 on

mel2 · 10-04-2007, 05:59 AM

I see that the picture of the die hard collection is up also. disappointed because it looks like one big blu-ray case with the four movies inside ala smallville, instead of four individual standard blu-ray cases inside a blu-ray box. now i will have to get them seperate. I want to display them individually just in case the unrated live free one comes out.

cueman98 · 10-04-2007, 06:35 AM

it will probably be one outer case(cardboard) with 4 individual blu-ray movies inside the outer box ala the M.I. boxset. That picture is probably just for ad purposes.

Edit: Just checked amazon, you may be right on that.

mel2 · 10-04-2007, 08:12 AM

That picture confirms it. looks like it's the individual titles for me just like harry potter also. damn fox.

bageleaterkkjji · 10-04-2007, 10:03 AM

anyone have a coupon code for that site?

jedisinclair · 10-04-2007, 11:11 AM

If they do come in one blu-ray case (which appears to be the situation)... I think I'll still buy it... then if unrated "Live Free..." comes out, I'll probably buy that and swap it out for the other one... then, they're still in the one case but with the unrated version instead of PG13... kind of weird packaging though.

Steelmaker · 10-04-2007, 11:46 AM

jeez, I hate to nitpick here but why are movie companies so lazy with their blu ray cover art? I hate the fact that they are simply using the same old tired covers that were used on the s-dvd versions. I know some have griped about the new Dracula cover but at least they attempted to be different.

Xerious · 10-04-2007, 11:58 AM

buying individual titles is a good thing... it boosts numbers

Technically, the Dracula cover is the same as the DVD version -- or, at least the newest release of it.

I don't think it's a matter of being lazy as it is just a matter of getting an identity for each release. Now, what I can't wait for is for some more innovative packaging (while still easily storable with the rest).

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with the Hairspray release, though... I've seen pics of the DVD having Edna Turnblad out in front next to the BD that has Tracy Turnblad out in front, and then I've seen the BD that has Edna Turnblad out in front -- and then there's Amazon's current image, which is basically psychedelic silhouettes. Are we getting several covers for this release?
