Borat on Blu-ray? - Page 5 - Blu-ray Forum

MasterSandman · 07-16-2009, 09:48 AM

I swear I saw Borat on blu somewhere but I didn't get it so maybe I was dreaming.

However, I was watching Rocky Balboa on Showcase HD today and it had promos for upcoming movies that they'll be showing and Borat was one of them

Borat on Blu would be awesome, not for PQ or AQ (which would still be an improvment over DVd) but because of what they could do with the packaging and menus

I loved how the DVD was made to look like a crappy kazikstan pirate copy of the film, i imagine the blu would be the same, Probabaly titled "Borat Blue-Rai" and there could be some interesting interactive features

I know we all are eagerly awaiting the nude scene with Ken Davitian in pristine 1080p resolution...... but no such announcement has been made yet....

Keep wishing.

Look for it when Bruno hits shelves later this year.

Agreed, that's when I'm expecting it.

Jack Wade · 07-23-2009, 03:53 AM

Anyone know if CLOVERFIELD and BORAT were shot on cameras with similar specs? If they were shot with similar technology and CLOVERFIELD can sparkle on BD, I have to imagine BORAT has an equal chance. I'm holding out that it will be released on Blu with BRUNO.

And like I said, BORAT is available in the PS3 store in HD FWIW.

Also, I love how people get their panties in a bunch over BORAT. Just because you thought it was awful means it shouldn't be on BD? Okay...

brettallica · 07-23-2009, 03:57 AM

I loved the movie. I probably won't buy it on Blu until it is cheap, though.

Since Borat is coming out in the UK, shouldn't we be getting a release here in the states soon?

There should be an announcement any time now.

I honestly expected an announcement when Bruno was announced for blu. I wonder what the holdup is.

Won't happen. Different studios.

Jack Wade · 11-06-2009, 03:50 AM

Still no word on Borat though the Bruno BD comes out on the 27th.

OrlandoEastwood · 11-06-2009, 05:32 AM

Parts of Borat were shot in Stardard Definition. The scene on the train in the opening was in SD. I know the scene where he is taking the driving lessons was also in Standard Definition.

Atari Charles · 02-25-2010, 12:19 AM

I've seen the region free Blu-Ray release of Borat on ebays for around $38 U.S. plus shipping from U.S. sellers who are probably importing it from Great Britain, but I was hoping we here in North America would get a release, that with a little more realistic price around $20.

Anyone here know of a North America release date?

03-07-2010, 09:52 AM

I've been waiting and waiting and waiting, and I got tired so I finally bought it (UK one - Region Free). I googled "Borat blu-ray" and clicked on "Shopping" and then found the cheapest price. I got my copy for $27 with free shipping which is pretty good considering the ones on eBay and Amazon are $35-$40

$26 is what a lot of Blu-Ray's cost anyways, so when it does come to North America, I wont be pissed to see I overpaid. I hate buying a "rare" iten to then just have it be wide-released for half of what I paid lol.

CDwow.com is the place I got mine. Never used it (or heard of it) before, but it seems like a decent site. I used Paypal, and it's equifax secure so I wasnt too worried about getting ripped off.

Here's the link: http://www.cdwow.us/blu-ray/borat-2006/dp/6099441

I'll update this when I receive it (7-10 business days), and i'll let you know if it's worth buying on Blu-Ray, or just sticking to DVD.

04-25-2010, 08:59 AM

Never received it, and got a refund. Not gonna buy from them again, but I wish I had Borat right about now, lol
