Falling Down...anyone buying this on day one? - Blu-ray Forum

Dont like the jumping off price. $19.99 would have been more reasonable, especially taking into consideration the review just posted. Does the higher price have to do with it being a digibook? I may wait til it goes on sale, but I definitely want it.

Yes.

It looks like the UK version coming on June 1st is not a Digibook. I will be importing, because I don't like Digibooks. Plus, it's $20.13 shipped to the U.S.

thanks for the tip. I'll be doing the same thing.

is it region free though?

goodstuff · 05-22-2009, 01:36 PM

I'm pretty sure all Warner BD's have been region-free. I may consider the UK disc now.

Correct.

chrisfhctm · 05-22-2009, 02:15 PM

I am seriously debating it. I love the movie, and it's getting a pretty nice release, so if I don't get it day one, I'll definitely get it shortly after.

I'll add it to my collection once it get to $14. A pretty good movie.

hc666 · 05-22-2009, 02:35 PM

I'm buying it. A must own for me. Great movie.

sfmarine · 05-22-2009, 02:54 PM

I've got the old flipper disk and it's in much need of a replacement lol. I'm in no rush though. It's a great film but I'll buy it for about $15 no more than that. The digi's go down in price after a few short months.

ssmith3046 · 05-22-2009, 03:12 PM

A really great Michael Douglas movie that's a must own for me. I want Wonder Boys on blu. That's my favorite M.D. movie.

AKORIS · 05-22-2009, 03:12 PM

already pre-ordered-- one of my favorite films and the dvd release
was substandard-- this will be a great improvement!

Day One: No

DarchAmonNagar · 05-22-2009, 03:15 PM

My copy arrived last week. really nice package.

andyman1970 · 05-22-2009, 03:25 PM

I was considering it until I noticed the audio is only 2.0. Now I will skip it unless the price drops to around $15.00 or less.

Elvis · 05-22-2009, 03:30 PM

Great film...love it! But I have a problem buying blu rays for 20.00+ dollars that were 4.99 bargin bin SD. Not to mention its a crappy digi book so I will hold off until the price drops sub 15.00 and one of our wonderful artists has a nice scan or custom cover that I can use to slip inside a hungry blu case.

Another_Dude · 05-22-2009, 05:58 PM

Love this movie, but I don't see myself spending over $20 for a Blu w/ a 2.0 lossless mix.

I'll get it later (cheaper).

perfectdark · 05-22-2009, 05:58 PM

already got it and watched it a few days ago... not bad.. I didn't enjoy the movie like i use to back in the day (some movies just don't age well) Th video transfer is nothing special but for less than $20 its fair

goodstuff · 05-22-2009, 06:24 PM

Ordered it from the UK for $20 shipped. Not interested in the Digibook and saved $5-7.

master_8ball · 05-22-2009, 06:27 PM

Was planning on getting it, love the movie and I love the digibooks....

But after reading the review and finding out its not even 5.1 is pretty dissapointing.

Will still get it but I'm not paying top dollar for it.

paperthrower2000 · 05-22-2009, 07:57 PM

I pre-ordered it yesterday.
