Looks like a potentially great release, Davidian. Thanks for your info.

Davidian · 09-01-2015, 04:47 AM

BDinfo for The Golden Voyage of Sinbad added. Looks like a very healthy bitrare!

gettodamoofies · 09-01-2015, 11:14 AM

No slipcover? Disappointing that it seemingly went from a limited edition (original art looked like a steelbook) to a slipcase to now a regular case. I'm more concerned with the content but the art looked really nice in the original promo pics.

I've managed to snag this for the awesome price of $43. I'm just waiting for it to arrive. Can't wait to dig into it. Jason and the Argonauts is one I've been wanting to see again for such a long time. Classic imagery.

Making me want to offload my stand alone copy before ppl start catching on to this release lol

I'm not one to usually care, but dear lord that ratings logo...insane.

nitin · 09-01-2015, 01:53 PM

Looking at stats at caps-a-holic, Sinbad and the Eye of the tiger, Jason and the Argonauts, Golden Voyage of Sinbad all look to be exact ports of the US discs.

7th Voyage appears to be the only one with a difference encode with lower bitrate.

Sure I saw this in a card case of some kind at JB Hi Fi like 2 days ago.

Davidian · 09-01-2015, 11:57 PM

Yes sorry, slipcover is included, pics:

gettodamoofies · 09-02-2015, 12:21 AM

Excellent. The bottom of the art is handled far better on the slipcover.

adamclark83 · 09-02-2015, 02:04 AM

I got this on release day and the only problem I have with the rear cover is that it doesn't show the runtimes of each movie or the audio soundtrack for them.

MechaGodzilla · 09-02-2015, 02:07 AM

Do I get this or wait for individual releases of Golden Voyage and Eye of the Tiger to maybe pop up somewhere at some point. Decisions, decisions.

Shemp · 09-02-2015, 12:45 PM

It's really not a big deal but why not include chapters in the menu?

Futurhythm see my post above. 3 look to be direct ports, one is not.

HippieDalek · 09-03-2015, 10:35 AM

Looks great. I'm still waiting on mine to arrive in the UK, was worried it was going to be in a UK style chunky case, glad to see it's in a sensible slim case.

Great slip too, is it a side slip or a regular slip? I've never owned an Aussie disc with a slipsleeve before, are the ratings on the slip printed or removable stickers?

Slim case? It's a standard 14mm case which is what most cases are here in Australia that hold up to 6 discs.

Slip box and printed logos.

Thanks for the info. For some reason we don't get many multi film sets in 14mm cases in the UK, if this set was released here it would either be in a 25mm case or individual cases in a big slip box.

Just got mine for $48 Aus shipped to Ireland from Fishpond. Great deal.

Thanks for that, ordered it from Fishpond, it's $43.19 for locals!
