UK Blade Releases Finally!

[Extra-Terrestrial]

Blade releases 1st January 2013:

Blade Trinity: http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProduct...;-1&sku=821226

Blade 2: http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProduct...;-1&sku=821216

No mention of Blade yet though. I expect a release roughly the same time. Obviously these are placeholders & could release earlier.

Good news for those that don't like importing
I paid slightly less for Blade as I got it from Planet Axel and I've paid a quid more for Blade 2 (currently en route to myself).

Would only pick up Blade 2 it's the only one that I really like.

2013............what a joke

For those who don't want to wait until 2013 and don't have a region free blu-ray player, Blade Trinity was released here in Australia 2 weeks ago, and Blade 2 is being released here on July the 10th. As we are also region 'B' here in Australia, some of you might want to import the Australian releases. Though like the UK, there is currently no sign of a release date of the 1st Blade movie here as of yet. The specs of Blade Trinity appear to be the same as the U.S release, however I have not done a bitrate comparison between the 2 versions.

I forgot about them being region free, I was thinking of the region 'A' locked Canadian Alliance releases for some silly reason. So you are right, there isn't many reasons for anyone to wait.

I agree, i was just making it known.

I have Blade & Blade 2 on route. I paid £14.25 each & they are the US Region Free Titles & not the inferior Canadian Releases! I will pick up Blade Trinity when I have some spare cash.....too many releases at the moment!

The only problem with Australian releases are the horrible Age ratings. Some are removable but I take it this one isn't?

The only Australian release i've purchased so far is the Predator Quadrilogy, as it's the only place to get it!

[Walter E Kurtz]

No it isn't removable. The ratings logos don't bother me, it's just a cover, nothing to be obsessed or to lose sleep over. Other countries have large rating logos also, such as Germany, which I don't mind either. To be honest I actually like the Australian ratings logos better than the UK '18', '15', 'PG' etc ratings logos.

Exactly, the logos don't bother you but they bother me! I wouldn't lose sleep over it either. If i'm going to spend my hard earned money on something, I at least want something with my preference!

I do however own some dutch movies with the large logos on etc but only because you can't purchase them elsewhere. If I have a choice, I would rather the logos less apparant.

Kind Regards

Yes, much cleaner!

I've just checked my order & it was Blade 2 & Trinity that are on route. I will purchase Blade from http://www.movietyme, as they've sent me a discount voucher which would make the final price £12.99!

That's your perogative. I didn't suggest you buy them. I made my post to inform others about their release here in Australia, for those who possibly might want to buy them. If however you do not like them because of their ratings logo, and therefore have no intention of purchasing them, then why you needed to bother commenting about it when you have no interest in the Australian releases is beyond me

Yes it's my perogative, as is yours with regards to liking them! I must be too obsessed then I guess!

I was just making a passing comment, which i'm allowed to do right? I mean didn't you?

No need to be annoyed just because I stated my views, as did you!

Are you like this with everyone?

Whoa, back up dude. "Am I like this with everyone"? Like what? I think you have read a bit too much into my post, I didn't mean anything by it . Though since you bring it up, my post wasn't just in passing as you stated yours was. It was for the benefit of sharing information with others who might be intersted in the Australian versions, such as those who might prefer 14mm amaray cases instead of 12mm Eco cases, however your comment was not for benefit of anything or anyone, other than to state how much you think the Australian ratings logos are hideous. I've got no problem with you stating your opinion, however it was you who replied to me, saying how the Australian ratings logos are horrible and that they may not bother me but they bother you, when it was unnecessary as don't need to know what your personal feelings about them are, nor do I care. So why you felt the need to share that with me I don't know .

Lots of members comment on threads with their opinions & views when they have no intention of purchasing anything that's been originally mentioned. I thought this was supposed to be an open forum where you can discuss things? Not every post has to be of benefit to anyone! I only responded again due to the fact that you mentioned it's not worth losing any sleep over & nothing to get obsessed over. That's why I said they might not bother you but they bother me. My original post actually asked you a question as to whether or not the logo could be taken off. Difference in opinion that's all. Text always comes across worse than intended anyway, I just read some arrogance into your replies that's all. *SIGH* Take care!

It is and they do, but you didn't just say it in general though, you replied to my post. Anyway it's cool mate. I thought I read some arrogance in your posts too. Obviously we misunderstood each other . I agree sometimes it is hard to know exactly what someone is thinking in text format, therefore making it easy to take what has been said out of context.
