The Notebook (2004) - Blu-ray Forum

ThriceBB · 01-19-2009, 03:44 PM

my girlfriend loves the notebook (as most girls do). i wont lie either. i like it as well. its a very good movie and i like ryan gosling and of course i love rachel mcadams!

but what is the deal with the gift set?! i dont want all of that other crap! i just want the blu-ray! i hate when movies are only released like this. give us a solo copy too!

ok.. rant over

Blu-News · 01-19-2009, 03:46 PM

It will be available that way soon enough, it's just a limited edition giftset for Valentine's day, and until retailers can't sell anymore.

ThriceBB · 01-19-2009, 03:47 PM

so youre saying that i should hold out?

yep, the extra cash for all the unwanted fluff is just wasted....hope they will drop a normal version on us soon.

ThriceBB · 01-19-2009, 04:02 PM

SeanMF · 01-19-2009, 04:28 PM

I would buy it if it at least came in a regular case inside that gift set, but as I heard it doesnt I will not buy it. It is a shame because its on my top 5 of favorite movies nd I bet it looks awesome on blu ray!

Its EIV, so I would wait for verification on region coding

You could import it if it ends up being region free.

I picked up this BLU today because my girl keeps telling me what a great movie it is. I saw it came with all corny stuff but i figured the regular case was still inside! Now what?! im stuck with this lame girly packaging. i just wanted a normal blu ray case. anyone know if the is a way to get artwork to slip into an empty blu ray case?

Meh... got it for the movie... not the packaging... bside... you could always snag a empty bluray case... and then just print out a custom cover for it...

Did you dump your box in the trash?

Where did you find artwork to print a custom cover?

crazy88 · 02-17-2009, 01:24 AM

it'll be a nice touch if someone will actually post inside picture shots of the packaging, to see what the deal is about.

Great idea, didn't even think about that! My wife loves this movie and I really enjoy it as well. It's a fanastic love story and one of if not the biggest tear jerker movie I've ever seen.

My wish has come true!

The single disc version of the movie comes out May 4th

surfdude12 · 03-09-2010, 04:36 AM

already bought the collectors edition (got it in the B3G3 WB sale, it cost me about $12).

one of my favorite films, and yes, i'm a single dude

PQ is great, but AQ could be better IMO. during the climax scenes where the score was pronounced, i dont recall much use of surounds, and had to CRANK my system (about 10-15 higher than a typical blu-ray). i wonder if the single-disc edition will have the same transfer as the collector's edition ( i assume so...does anyone know if WB usually does this?? oh wait, nevermind...goodfellas

)
