Brotherhood of the Wolf--different editions? - Blu-ray Forum

RLM002 · 10-14-2014, 09:29 PM

Looking at buying Brotherhood of the Wolf from Korea, since it's Region A, and while visiting a couple of sites, namely KimchiDVD, found these two:

http://www.kimchidvd.com/en/good/goo...good_seq=20356

The bottom link's item has a much more recent release date, is cheaper, and labeled "Plain Edition", but no mention of any difference. The original release came with a slipbox I believe, and I'm wondering if that's the only change, or if there's more to it. Anyone that can help me with this, I'd be most grateful.

Its been too long for me to remember, the last I can... I think it was detailed
in the description? Shoot them email asking about it.
...or roll the dice?

difference is the slipcase, one with, one without. same disc.

I ended up going with Kimchi's plain edition, received it just last week actually. Haven't had a chance to pop it in yet but looks nice. Comes with clear case as advertised. $10 for a slipcover just wasn't doing it for me.

Thanks for your help, guys. Placed my order for the Plain Edition yesterday--had the same thought process as you, Tellymon. I like the original poster artwork on the plastic case better, anyway

Hopefully it won't take too long to arrive--ready to see that great cinematography in HD!

Sorry to bring back an older post, but any comments on the PQ of this release?

It looks the same as the French release. Grubby old master.

I bought the original release with slip and quickly sold it, as I already owned the French disc.

A few weeks ago I was shopping at BestBuy.com and it recommended me a Brotherhood of The Wolf blu-ray for $3.99. The entry on the website did not include any other info or a picture of the product. I knew it didn't have a US release on blu, and BestBuy doesn't usually sell imports, but I figured for $3.99 I'd roll the dice. I expected a cancelled order, or if was fulfilled, an old mismarked dvd or some sort of bootleg. Imagine my surprise when my order shipped and a new sealed copy of the Koran blu showed up.

Looks like they've now removed it from the website, but who knows, maybe it will show up again at some point if anyone wants it for super cheap.

Did the same, myself. Can't wait to watch it tonight.
