Gladiator (2000)

[rpneuss]

Oh and another thing squid...I think we can tell who the liar is by looking at your avatar!! Sorry couldn't resist. Let's just move on from this debacle and get back to our regularly scheduled posting.

[vidjunkie]

So how do you guys know that the remastered version is what is on the shelf at a Target or Best Buy?
I really want to get this but do NOT want to get the wrong version, I asked earlier but did not get a definitive answer.

Thanks

Alright ladies, knock it off. Can't we all just get along?

I could be wrong however.

I dont think making ONE polite reference to the search function equals "complaining all of the time". Thats right, ONE post, and that was to you. I never even encouraged someone else to use it here. So I am at a loss as to why you single me out.

IMO people who always jump on every poster for asking a question that was asked previously need to be called out every once in a while. They're worse than a person who is honestly trying to get a question answered. I am not trying to police anything and I think anyone who engages in such behavior is a coward. I already stated what your MO is and that is fine with me. I'm not trying to stifle your thoughts or change your opinion. Just merely point out that if you get tired of always telling people to "use the search tool" maybe you should just not read the thread for a while. Thats all.

Always jump on every poster? Thats a pretty broad brush you are painting me with.

Show me ONE post where I did that in this thread.

And you might want to check this post from 8/5/10 where I actually HELP a member find the answer to a question that had already been asked 500 times.

Accusing me of Nazi status seems harsh and inaccurately assigned.

So is this a new re-master of the film? Not the 2009 version, right? And why is it not on Amazon.com?

It is and yes it is on Amazon as well. Paramount is just slowly replacing the old one with the new stock that's all. Same upc etc... they're just depleting the old stock and silently replacing with new as the old sells out.

Did you originally purchase it from Target?

So has anyone received the new version yet when ordering from Amazon?

Not that I've heard. The copy that I ordered last week was the old one. If they have them, it'll be hit-or-miss whether you get the new one or not.

I apologize about the nazi comment and in fact I had removed the MO thing from my post before you responded. I felt that it was indeed unfair. Sorry about the mix up and i'm sure I have you mixed up with someone else on here.

I received a voice mail from someone today calling about replacing my old version of Gladiator. They left a callback number and said to call back at any time and have my old disc available when I call. Has anyone else received a call like this?

Amazon probably hasn't received any copies yet. They'll come.

Yes I got a call like that today but I spoke to someone else earlier and have already sent them my disc. They just want to verify that you have the old disc before you send it.

I did a couple of weeks ago.

Unfortunately, Paramount's doing this as a replace-the-inventory correction. Until the 10th Anniversary Edition is released here (with a different SKU), there's no way to know which copy of Gladiator you'll get from Amazon (since they have several distribution centers).

I am glad that I did not get Gladiator through Amazon. It's a gamble for the time being. I just went to best Buy and took care of this once and for all, and the new version of Gladiator looks fantastic.

I wonder if I should do the same thing? I bought it from Best Buy last year but of course don't have the receipt anywhere handy. I was able to bring back Saving Private Ryan without any hassle whatsoever, but that was a different program.

So, maybe I will try to bring it back and have them look it up on their computer to verify I purchased it there. Worth a shot if I decide to go there anyway to browse the inventory.

I look at copies of Gladiator blu-rays at my local Wal-Mart and Hastings store and none of them state on the back that they are 2-Disc sets. So would these be the remastered version?

Hi-
This is my first post on this forum but I thought I should share my experience ordering Gladiator on Amazon....

Before ordering, I wrote to the company to confirm whether or not they were shipping the remastered copy of the movie or were still selling the old version. The original reply I got was they are selling the new one with the "yellow UPC code". This was confirmed.
Fastforward to receiving the item....
After receiving the package, I opened up the box and to my dismay received a copy with the white UPC code and the '2 disc set' titled in the bottom right. I was fuming.
I immediately contacted Amazon's customer service explaining the issue and they told me that they needed to contact the customer fulfillment center to confirm all of this. I basically told them that I am a looking at the copy right now and can tell you the UPC is white
I finally got a reply back from them and this is what they had to say,

"I'm following up on our recent correspondence regarding the "Gladiator (Sapphire Series) [Blu-ray]" in order #104-7361148-6698616. I checked with our fulfillment center and confirmed that the "Gladiator (Sapphire Series) [Blu-ray]" available on our website have the white UPC code.

I'm so sorry if the information about "Gladiator (Sapphire Series) [Blu-ray]" was misleading when you placed your order. It would be expensive to return the item in this case, so there's no need to return the item.

I've requested a refund , the cost of the item, shipping costs, and the import fee deposit (if any). This refund will go through within the next 3-5 business days and will appear as a credit on your next credit card billing statement.
"

I share this only to warn others that there is a very good chance you will not receive the remastered copy given this reply.....

I will say that I am quite happy in the fact that I got the movie for free given I live in Toronto Canada and they feel it is not worth me sending it back and they are giving me a full refund. I guess I will go through the pain of sending disc 1 to California.

Cheers,
Myraid

That's fantastic customer service! Amazon's the best in that area. Even though I returned mine, they paid for return shipping
