Gladiator

Hey guys, quick question.

The Australian version of Gladiator. Is it the same transfer as the original American version, or the remastered one?

Thanks in advance

Most if not all shops sell the remastered copy as they had a large recall around 1 year ago. The chances of picking up the dodgy copy is unlikely but still a possibility. Also the US copy has had the same recall and remastered edition.

Thanks. Is there any easy way to distinguish which version it could be? Judging by the case.

I believe they will list different years on the back. 2010 should be the remaster.

Thanks. Is the disc replacement thing still running, if I do get the old version?

You can get the reissue on Amazon with Robin Hood in the one case if you don't have either. I was thinking of taking this route.

Doesn't the remaster mention something to do with PocketBlu on the back?

The thing is, I thought Robin Hood was pretty bad. Ridley Scott isn't as good as he used to be. It is definately not blu-worthy :P

Might just try my luck with the Aus Gladiator

I'd be making sure they re-imburse you for the cost of sending the disc back because it's their stuff up. Not yours.

Universal won't reimburse costs because in this case they're not admitting a quality control error. They're saying nothing was wrong with the first one (), just that some people like their transfers without excessive edge enhancement. I mean, what a crazy notion!

Anyways, a 60c stamp does the trick and the disc fits in a b'day card envelope. That's all you need to get it there. Worked for me just fine. The disc took a while to come back but that was right at the start of the replacement program.
