AM I the only one? - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

Of course, and you're very right to do so. I guess I didn't appreciate the tone and wording.

Cool? Let's not take this off topic.

Anyway, I think I'm gonna get the Riddick movies, I've been a long time fan. Although I wonder if it's worth upgrading from the DVDs... hmm, I bought them a long time ago, so I could justify getting them. I want to boost sales as much as I can in order for them to make the 4th movie!

I see a lot of bitterness here. It's all quite amusing.

I was simply stating my surprise to your reaction of me posting info about an available Blu-ray import. Especially with your smart ass "that doesnt help us" comment. Thats where this all started.

sorry you took it that way, i was clearly joking..as i included 'lol'

but you continued acting like you were better than anyone all through the thread..and i wasnt the only who noticed

but whatever..lets move on! no hard feelings!

Guys, i'm from Greece. Import is what i do when it comes on Blu-Ray...all the time

Transfer quality isn't really an issue because it isn't something steady. Some UK releases are better than US and vise versa.
As for the cost of the purchases i'd say same thing. Sometime you get great deals for UK releases other for US...
The only issue for me is availability. If you can spend a few more bucks for an extra different regional BD player (or a modified Universal one)....i really thing worth the cost far ahead. Its just you have all the choises in your hands...after all i do own Night of the living dead, The Fog, Sin City, From Dusk till Dawn, Slither, They live and pre-ordered Jason Vs. Freddy(but please all US residents don't hate me for it)

Now where is Shaun of the Dead????(I'd buy that one from Japan if i had to

)

BScratcha · 12-27-2008, 06:31 PM

I love both of these movies and still have them on HD DVD. I probably wouldn't upgrade just for lossless.

I hope for blu-ray's sake Universal doesn't DNR these like those recent gangster movies. Man those look so much worse than the HD DVD counterparts it's laughable.

Nielsb90 · 12-27-2008, 06:53 PM

Id say now is the time to import BD .... The £ is worth nothing at the moment, it is as cheap as the Euro...

Kynch · 12-27-2008, 09:29 PM

I'm waiting to hear the specs of the French version and know if it's worth getting the UK import instead but a month later.

Meanwhile I just ordered Dark Fury to catch up. ^^

hoju3508 · 12-27-2008, 09:56 PM

Nope, you're not alone.

I just got the "Real" Planet Earth series on Blu for $36.00......from Amazon U.K. Sometimes it pays to import.

GORT · 12-28-2008, 01:07 AM

No, I want them both to I will wait till they are released not paying a premium to import them

Trust me...there are many of us that would love to purchase those movies.

Totally agree, I just ordered Sophie Scholl fron Amazon UK for less than 25 US Dollars. Not all imports have to cost an arm and a leg. Importing is not hard and does not make you a movie snob
