Well the bluray.com reviews of the sound quality for all the originals are pretty good.

Yes. Linear PCM is uncompressed sound, and as explained should be equal to the TrueHD or DTS-HD MA formats.

Someone could post pictures of the digipack of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" or "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", please? I wonder how it looks.

I'd be interested in this.

Theoretically we could all get them from free?

Or am I under-thinking this?

[Vashetti]

Could we not just exchange email addresses so we could all get them for free?

I feel stupid.

Seriously, don't bother wasting your energy as it seems you won't be getting any "Ultimate Edition" for your trouble.

Warner Bros UK have royally effed up with this one.

Perhaps the person at WBUK who's responsible for these sets had a brain fart, and thought it was 2003 and the bad old days of DVD again, when it was common practice when titles were being re-issued to give NTSC land brand spanking new pressings (with new content and encodes, natch), along with fanciful new packaging, with PAL LAND getting prettified packaging (if that) along with a higher price point and the exact same discs from five years prior.

I'd be grateful if someone would confirm whether WBUK have actually lost their collective minds and simply chucked the original BDs of these films into oversized packaging with some DVDs thrown in for Good Luck?

If the above is true then WBUK must be made to understand that what they've done is indefensible, and that nothing less than a rolling replacement program to remedy this nonsense will be acceptable.

It is indeed the original Blu-Ray packaged with DVD's.

[Vashetti]

I know it's subpar compared to the American version, but I wouldn't mind getting it for free

So, did this actually work for you then?

The mrs wants the potter collection for xmas.

What differences are there between the normal set and the limited edition apart from the photo album?

As far as I know the limited edition consists of both blu ray and dvds for each movie. This set also comes numbered and in a nice packaging.

If however you have not need for the dvds save yourself some money and get the normal edition as it has all the blu ray discs that are contained inside the limited edition.

Have you seen the From Page to Screen book? It was £50 in Smiths the other day and would make a great gift.

Meant to do this ages ago sorry but here's the photos of the the Half Blood Prince Digipack (the OotP one is the same layout)

DO NOT BUY THESE IN-STORE! Buy them online!

So I just bought the HP1 Ultimate Edition in my local HMV, and it's going back tomorrow.

First off, the outer slipcase is scuffed up beyond all recognition (didn't notice until I had got home). Secondly, my set had the Snape and Minerva cards instead of the Harry and Minerva cards. And finally, the stupid sticky security band thing that HMV uses instore, has torn the slipcase a little bit at the bottom on the front.

Not off to a good start with my HP purchases from HMV!

Not be upgraing from DVD to HD with this boxset at all.

Come on Warners, DTS HD MA 5.1 for all 8 films and extended cuts through seemless branching otherwise I will either stick with my DVD's or wait for the best boxset to be around £25 at Tesco's or HMV.

How many times is going to take before studio's realise that if they want £60 from me to buy their products again on a new format, then they are going to have to give me a damn good reason to, and this boxset does not on any level.

It's just getting to the point where I am fed up with being ripped off in the UK (and I know I am when I check the specs on the US and other countries discs), so Come on Warners, it's not like this franchise didn't make much!

[The Apocalypse]

WB clearly does not care about the UK much really, so I'm happy waiting for next years ultimate ultimate edition, or then resorting to import.

Happy with HP 1 & 2 French editions which are similar to the US release.
