Bull Durham Blu-ray Review

quirkmanly · 05-28-2010, 01:55 PM

Woah, that's a full two months in advance of their own site's release date and we have no date at all reflected in this site's database.

Does it indicate that it is a BB exclusive?

I think it would have to be an exclusive to find it that early.

Master Charles · 05-28-2010, 02:00 PM

Wow! You got that early.

I thought this was for sale on Amazon a month ago but now checking the release date, I just may be crazy.

You'd would think so wouldn't you?

DetroitSportsFan · 05-28-2010, 02:09 PM

I believe it is a Best Buy execlusive that they are not promoting for some reason. There was a blurb on High-Def Digest about it as well.

Mpeg2?

Also, is that DTS-HD MA or DTS-HD HR?

If you get a chance, can you also post your impression on the PQ and AQ?

TIA

J.Cornelius · 05-28-2010, 02:49 PM

DTS-HD MA

Probably will not be able to view until the end of the weekend but once I do I would be happy to post about the PQ/AQ.

I really dislike this practice of having the special features on the DVD. I want to be able to access them on the Blu. I mean, come on, wasn't one of the features of Blu that they liked to tout was that you could access the extras while watching the movie?

But if you click the "check store" link it may show it available. There is one store in my area that has some in.

If you continue with the checkout process it indicates it is pre-order and will be available for pickup on the release date.

Right, they often let you preorder a store pickup before release day.

Disturbed350z · 05-28-2010, 06:11 PM

I was lead to this topic after seeing the news article that it was just announced for august.
We currently have it in the back of our store (Best Buy), in a box marked for release 6-1-10. I'll be putting it out myself on Tuesday. Even our system is showing a 6-1-10 street date. Other than that I had no idea it wasn't coming out everywhere else

depooter · 05-28-2010, 08:52 PM

yep..very sloppy and lazy. I can't believe that they won't transfer over the special features to the Blu-ray...we are living in a high def world and I want everything on the Blu-ray disc...

Brad1963 · 05-28-2010, 08:58 PM

MGM has been doing barebones Blu ray Catalog titles and using the DVD as the supplment disc for a while now. What really sucks though is in the case of MISERY, the audio commentary is ONLY on the DVD disc and not the Blu ray.

ethanwa · 05-28-2010, 10:21 PM

I really want this movie. I just went to my local Best Buy and they didn't have any.

Can someone out there pick me up an extra copy at Best Buy and ship it to me? I will make it worth your while (give you some extra cash via PayPal).

PM me.

Also, can someone tell me what the barcode is on the back of the Blu-ray case?

Thanks,

Ethan

sfmarine · 05-28-2010, 10:28 PM

That's awesome that the OP got is so early. I haven't even seen the cover art for it yet lol.

Disciple of Vedder · 05-28-2010, 10:31 PM

Too bad they don't have an exclusive on "Escape From New York" as well. That's one of the few catalog titles I'd take a bath on just to have it Day 1.
