Coming from Sony

NegaScott128 · 01-14-2017, 12:13 AM

So it's a BD-R. Again.

McCrutchy · 01-14-2017, 12:26 AM

I wonder how many more of these BD-R releases we will have to suffer through. I can hardly wait for Sony to finish scratching this itch and go back to proper catalog releases.

For The Net, I got tired of waiting, and imported the pressed international disc from Sony, but I would have re-bought a proper US BD for the audio commentaries, which are conspicuously absent from that edition. Perhaps the film will get a licensed release in the UK with the commentaries, but until then, the international disc is more than sufficient.

That depends on your fellow consumers. If they buy them, you'll be seeing plenty more, that's for sure.

**** Sony! This has been available internationally on a replicated disc for years!

Monterey Jack · 01-14-2017, 01:31 AM

I can't imagine how dated this movie must be by today's tech-savvy standards.

HeavyHitter · 01-14-2017, 01:32 AM

I would be shocked if they didn't continue this.

This one and Sneakers will definitely make anyone who has used a computer at any point over the last 15 years laugh. Time has not been kind to them, not in a way where it becomes retro like WarGames.

This was a fun movie back when it was released, but it may come across as somewhat outdated today in 2017.

Brandon K · 01-14-2017, 06:53 AM

Ew.

On-demand Blu-ray? I hadn't fully realized that this was happening now.

An absolute classic computer / hacking movie from right in the middle of my teen years - but I'll import the Italy release, rather than give the studios any reason to think burned Blu-rays are a good idea.

It's nice to see the Italy release at the top of search results from Amazon.com.

Ray_Rogers · 01-14-2017, 08:24 AM

This can be bought from other countries released by Sony on a PRESSED disc for far cheaper. If you buy this from another country you're supporting Sony but not for burn on demand BS. I'd rather make my own BD-Rs of movies unavailable worldwide, thank you very much.

I'll just buy the DE or IT release for practically dirt cheap compared to what Sony USA is price-gouging for the BD-R.

I doubt any of the foreign Sony releases come with a slip. My German copy didn't come with one.

it was dated when it first came out. HILARIOUSLY bad

as for the pressed discs. I would rather download an HD copy from the "net" (he he) than pay for burned media. Import it is then

geekesmind · 01-14-2017, 10:30 AM

well looks like I will be importing this one! damn pressed blus
