Thanks!

not amusing, but i get it.

So, I'm scanning through this new and improved non DNRd version and there are small white specks/ nicks popping up all over the place. They come and go quick so easier to see in slo mo but it's very prevalent. The grain is definitely here so I know this is the new version. I got rid of my original long ago knowing this " better" version was coming but I sure don't remember all these nicks/scratches being there. Did I get a bad copy or is this normal?

It's just a bit of dust. The overzealous application of automated dust/scratch removal on the first disc resulted in disappearing arrows, guess they didn't want to repeat that mistake.

I still love how people can't tell if its the remaster just by looking at it.

Just finished watching the remaster, and it is beautiful

So glad I waited for a remaster.

A bit of dust is one thing, this is riddled with this stuff. Can somebody check out from the 1:37:40 mark to the 1:37:44 mark in slo mo and see if they're seeing what I'm seeing? These things stand out pretty good against the arched wall in the background. Appreciate the assist.

I haven't bought this on bluray yet. What should I be looking for when buying this to make sure it is the remastered version?

Hmm that's a tough question. I don't think anyone in this thread has ever asked or answered such an outlandish query.

Those time stamps are for the extended cut. Thanx.

I've seen people give multiple answers, none of them seem to be concrete. Plus, I don't feel like wasting my time skimming through several pages. I couldn't care less if you don't like me asking the same question again. If you don't like it, tough.

From what I've gathered it seems to be missing a "2-Disc" label on the lower right side of the back.

I'm not entirely sure though.

Retailers should have a sale on the remastered I think. They put ppl through all this crap.

Yellow it is!

Thanks Mamba.

So yellow is the difference, huh? I'll visit BB and Wallyworld tomorrow.

Blu-ray Fanatic · 08-12-2010, 03:18 AM

I just checked the websites of Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart but didn't find any remastered versions of Gladiator.

How are you looking for them online? What do you search for?

I called the number for returns on the Gladiator disc and was told to send it to this address:

PHE MKT
Care of Deluxe Media Management
PO Box 801464
Valencia, CA 90380-1464

has anyone else been told to send their discs to this address? I don't like sending stuff like this out but it is my only good option. Can someone confirm that is the correct address and that they have received their disc?
