Why isn't this listed along with the German release?

The Canadian release is okay for picture quality and has lossless sound. No extras, but it is in the correct aspect ratio. I would not wait around for older catalog titles to show up on Blu-ray in the U.S., most of the studios have throttled back those movies.

Agreed. I own the Canadian release and all is well. The image quality and sound are solid. One of my favorites so I had to have it. Its recommended since there is no US date announced.

Why does amazon.ca say the title comes out in april? I thought it was already out. inet says they have it in stock, but want $40 for it. They can eat it, but what is with amazon.ca?

hawaii sun · 03-20-2010, 01:16 AM

I also got the Canadian release, it's a pretty good movie, solid PQ and AQ.

Indian Hills Theater · 03-20-2010, 12:00 PM

It should be noted that that guy is not using the right cover... Is it in fact the Cdn disc he has?

Indian Hills Theater · 03-21-2010, 10:55 AM

That doesn't look scanned. More like he may have grabbed the wrong cover art somewhere. We will know in a week or so. You could order from Amazon Canada.

Rhylliam · 03-21-2010, 11:39 PM

Oh I already got mine... HMV has it for $15CDN right now, minus $5 if you trade in any old DVD, so yay!

thanks for the link, I just purchased it.

Indian Hills Theater · 03-22-2010, 12:21 AM

E-bay uses Muze for graphics on dvds, movies, etc. Unless they uploaded their own photo, they had no choice on which cover is displayed. I'm sure that is what happened.

rabbit · 03-22-2010, 03:21 AM

$10CDN well spent

Indian Hills Theater · 03-29-2010, 11:41 PM
