Most people don't feel this way though, and in the case of Spartacus it's even more of a niche thing.

Physical media will always come first for me, but streaming does have a place at least for us. We do a lot of it here at home.

We're getting ready to sell our house and I'm going to box up the blu-rays and DVD's to store until we move into our next house which could be a month or two. I recently went through and redeemed all the digital codes so a lot of the movies I really like, I can still watch if I'd like.

We'll never completely do away with streaming.

I found it in my local Fry's in the San Fernando Valley just north of Los Angeles. They had two when I bought mine. If you go to Fry's, check closely because they also had one copy of the old Blu still sitting on the shelf.

I have a digital copy code free for the first person who PM's me.

UPDATE: Screw it, I don't have time to wait for a PM. Here's the code. If you claim it, leave a reply so everyone else knows.

http://www.zavvi.com/blu-ray/spartac.../11164657.html

Down to just 7.99 GBP at Zavvi. It works out to under $14 shipped to the US

stratford · 11-26-2015, 09:26 PM

physical media for me too. Better video/ audio.
Harder for any one impose regions.
Also, Internet where I live was unavailable for two hours recently, what if I wanted to watch a movie?
I will though admit streaming is better for irresponsible sorts

Just to clarify the remaster is region-free yes? and I see you can use PayPal, can I buy Blu-Rays from Zavvi since I'm from Austarila?

OK, no more posting for the next three hours then!

jag2007 · 11-29-2015, 04:04 AM

....only got to watch until intermission ...I was really enjoying it so far.

jag2007 · 11-29-2015, 11:37 PM

Ahh this was great what an ending!

Bluyoda · 12-01-2015, 06:12 AM

Just placed an order on amazon.com. I sure hope it'll come with the slipcover.

I have never seen this film, but I generally like those old non-religious epics.

gkolb · 12-01-2015, 06:19 AM

Ordered the Spartacus Zavvi steelbook on black Friday with another title. Has already been "despatched". First Zavvi order, it's regular post, have no idea how long it will take to get to the left coast.

I got this about a week or so ago and am REALLY looking forward to watching it, but I've been having a difficult time with playback. The MAIN MENU seems screwy. When I try to view the "Restoration Feature", it plays the movie. When I try to PLAY the movie, the disk removes the menu and plays the menu clips in a loop.

Granted, I have an older Blu-Ray player (Pioneer BDP-05FD), but I am running the latest firmware (1.74) according to the Pioneer website. All my other disks, including some recent ones, seem to play fine.

Is anyone else having problems like this with the new REMASTERED edition? Is it the disk or am I finally going to have to think about retiring my old Pioneer player?

TIA!!

It's 6 weeks after the post above and I finally got to see this great restoration of an even greater movie. Gorgeous!!!

But what is prompting this post is that I too, have run into the exact same issues mentioned above.

Luckily, I could watch the movie even though I have to select the special features to see it. (Really screwy!) On the down side, I haven't figured out a way to access any of the special features. When I try, either the movie starts playing again or the screen just goes blank.

Like the poster above (35mmDreams), I also have a Pioneer blu-ray player (which I love), although mine is the BDP-23FD model. I've never had an issue with any other blu-ray disc.

???

Mine was "despatched" on the 30th, and I haven't received it yet (although I am from Australia so its international post.) Have you received yours?

stratford · 12-11-2015, 07:02 AM

Page1 According to Pioneer's own web site, as I see it the last firmware update was just over two years ago

Todd Fredericks · 12-11-2015, 07:53 AM

I ordered the German Steelbook version and it had the old 2010 Blu-ray in the case! Some recent customer reviews mentioned that this was a known problem with Universal and even provided contact info. I sent them an e-mail asking if there was a replacement program in the works but no has replied.

My choices are try to get a replacement disc from Universal or return it to Amazon.de. I would like to keep it but it depends on if I get a response from Universal.
