BDs That Are Out of Print (OOP) - Page 70 - Blu-ray Forum

I thought people have indicated that Amazon itself not listing a title is not sufficient enough confirmation for a title to be considered OOP? I guess I'm not understanding the criteria that goes into the classification. I thought it had to be confirmed by being OOS at more than one venue?

If it is indeed available everywhere else then I will remove it.

I saw it still selling at Walmart, Target and Best Buy, that's why I wondered.

I removed it. It may be something we see OOP in the next few months though.

I know i'm probably nitpicking, but I wouldn't exactly say the French release is only marginally better. The 2 are almost night & day different to me, the US release is much darker & framed slightly different.

Plus the French version comes with that kick ass slipcover.

Okay, moderately better.

You're probably right. I'm glad I picked it up anyway based on the rumor as I got it for a good price at eBay. I love the movie.

Living Dead at Manchester Morgue is available at DVD Planet as well, which is where I just got mine for $8.96. I thought I would post as they seem to be having quite a sale on Blue Underground titles (most are 50 to 60 percent off) including Two Evil Eyes for $9.13 (which IS listed as OOP on Blue Underground's site, while Living Dead is not).

Apparently the Warner Special Effects Collection is not OOP as per the post in the respective thread. Warner's website lists it as Active.

It was just a rumor somebody started. It was never OOP in the list here.

Does anyone know why some the BD double features of the Friday the 13th movies are OOP but not all of them? Part 3 and 4 and part 7 and 8 are garnering big bucks while part 5 and 6 you can get for $10. I have 1 and 2 and was going to get the rest but I can only afford 5 and 6 now. Will it soon go OOP like the others?

Chances are they're all OOP; it's just that 5/6 seems to have had many more copies pressed than the others and therefore is lingering on.

Or is less popular than others and thus more copies are still lingering.

I wonder if the Tarantino XX set is going OOP as it contains True Romance. It's still on Amazon and the prices aren't insane, but it could be possible.

Seems like those cross-licensed sets seem to stick around longer. When Memento was OOP/hard to find you could still readily get the Christopher Nolan collection set with Memento in it.

So the Ultimate Gangster Collection is OOP, but all the movies are still available? So unless you love the packaging, there's no immediacy to pick it up now, correct?

Call me crazy, but I kind of prefer the single disc releases as they include the original theatrical poster art work. I was disappointed to see they weren't included in the booklet in the collection.

Rampage09 · 03-23-2016, 04:18 PM

I just picked up Short Circuit from the local FYE for $8.00. Was thrilled when I saw it setting there last night. Flawless copy. Just finished watching it. First time in years that I've seen it. Still love it.

meremortal · 03-23-2016, 04:20 PM

I finally got around to ordering Friday the 13th V/VI while it's still in print. It just seems like it could go out of print overnight and shoot up to $40 or more online and so I didn't want to wait any longer on it. Still thankful that I found the other double feature sets from this franchise at FYE a few months ago for 'non-oop' prices.

GasmaskAvenger · 03-23-2016, 06:17 PM

Honestly, I hope we get a much better Friday the 13th blu-ray set in the next year or so.

The currently OOP set and double feature bundles just didn't really suit my fancy to be honest, especially with its utter lack of the uncut version of Jason Goes to Hell, a movie I rather enjoy.
