The Prestige (2006)

[stofferdk]

Hi there,

I finally got my copy of "The Prestige", and when I ripped open the mail and looked at the cover, I noticed that the cover lagged the classic buena vista look with the silver linings.

With a short closer inspection, I could conclude I had gotten the Warner Brothers distrib of the movie which is the only one currently available as a [UK] release in Region B.

What the hell is wrong with Warner? I am sitting here with an extremely expensive copy of The Prestige (prices in EU vs US are messed up), and I get low bitrate VC-1 encode and Dolby Digital. No, not even DD+.
We are talking plain old Dolby Digital.


Now - so with a price tag equalling 56 USD for the Prestige, and a copy far inferior to the US - what am I to do?
It should have been made bloody illegal to rape movie releases like warner does.

I find it hard to cope with the insane prices in the EU, but I can live with it - its like with everything else, our price tags are lightyears higher than the ones in the US for the equal product - but when we also get the inferior release, ive just had it.
Now, would anyone please enlighten me, is the Buena Vista AVC+PCM release of "The Prestige" region open to region B?

Thank you for reading all this whine.
