Superman Returns PCM verification?

[cajmoyper]

I've heard of the version with PCM being bundled with some player but if you look at the tech specs at the bottom of the page linked, it says PCM. Do you think I should trust this?

I wouldn't trust it thats alot of money to spend when converted to get a dd audio track.

The PCM/TrueHD version was only bundled with U.S. players, AFAIK. I probably wouldn't chance it.

I would not risk it, don't trust it.

Well the movie came in today and sure enough Dolby TrueHD; PCM

I was thrilled to say the least, and at 10% of the cost for the last one on ebay.

Some folks have said the SKU is different, mine is:

UPC: 085391177913
ISBN: 1-4198-6004-6

Cant wait to get home and give this puppy a whirl.

You're both probably right. i just want it so bad. :there's no crying smilie:

I believe it was only bundled with the Panasonic players...there may have been others. They were never sold as a seperate retail SKU.

It was bundled with the Pioneer 94. Through people who've found it I've gotten the Warner catalog number and the UPC, but Googling both still turns up nothing.

I've continued my quest searching for the new version in stores. I keep checking Best Buy weekly, but they still only have the DD version. I believe one member claimed he found 5 copies at a MN store, but I've never, ever read anyone else finding it in stores on the various boards.

Yeah . . . he said he was going to go check for more, as a bunch of people wanted him to pick one up for them. I don't think he was ever heard from again. I don't know how they'd have it though, since Best Buy still doesn't have a separate SKU for it.

I've been waiting for the PCM version but I don't think they're going to release it. I think I'm just going to go and buy the ones available now. This movie os going to looks great I imagine.

But for BD, it's not enough that a movie look good enough. BV understands that, Sony understands that, Fox I wonder sometimes, but Warner keeps putting cheap audio tracks on their BD's leaving at least 35 gigs of unused space on the disk and honestly, it's kept me from buying their movies.

Well, there is no other option. They're not going to release the PCM so....

Have you bought it?

[cajmoyper]

No, I haven't. I'm waiting, quite possibly indefinitely, for what has been the rumor for months now. And the rumor is that as soon as retailers run out of DD Superman Returns, they will start sending out ones with PCM and TrueHD.

[Johk]

I have been waiting for that too...

I check every copies almost everytime I go to the store...
