District 9 Blu-ray Discussion Thread

There's no embargo so once the retailers receive it, they can sell it.

Looking forward to this. I didnt love this movie but it was pretty good anyway, which is usually good enough for me.

I have seen a sweeeeet steel book version that blows, the cool enough, jewel case cover away!!

I don't know how i'm going to get one. There's no Best Buy in my country.

Is this a slip cover as we know it made of a paper material, or a mini vest made of a cloth material with velcro straps? It looks like that in the pic.

[SapGoblin]

yeah it's "cloth" ...closer to neoprene like a beer can cozie would be!!!

I enjoyed the movie, wasn't what I was expecting, but after repeated viewings, I enjoy this flick more and more, cant wait to get my hands on this blu.

Don't have any use for that what so ever. Unless it's actually bullet proof I'll forgive myself for missing this exclusive.

It's $17.99 at BB. It's not like you're paying extra for the exclusive.

Edit: I just noticed you're in the UK. Nevermind.

Review:

http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDRe..._9_blu-ray.htm

District 9 looks remarkably crisp on Blu-ray from Sony. The image quality is exceptionally smooth - even the more obvious CGI effects. This is a dual-layered transfer utilizing the AVC encode with the film taking up about 25 Gig. Detail has some very strong moments and there is some depth notable. I really have no complaints with this Blu-ray appearance that seems un-manipulated and dynamically sharp. Aggressive thumbs up!

District 9's DTS-HD Master 5.1 at 3958 kbps is perfect. It reports bountiful separation, bass response and strong high end. I couldn't find any negative issue with its rendering at all. Clinton Shorter's score is adept and crisp - sounding bountiful and deep when called upon.

Even beyond looking too deep this is a competent and rewarding film experience and the Blu-ray does it all. The remarkable A/V transfer, extensive supplements and excellent price make it a deal home theater aficionados can't, nor shouldn't, pass up. Strongly recommended!

And its region free too

So we could cover all sorts of cool goodies for all movies and not search through page after page of individual titles...Oh well!

Perhaps a change in the subject's title could generate a bit more interest (I know what it means, but others may find it somewhat cryptic).

While we're on the subject, I see that Best Buy Canada has a different exclusive of their own:



There's a $6 premium for this exclusive, bringing the total price to $32.99 (before taxes). I'll stick to the US exclusive, thanks.

Question to those who got the screeners. Can someone please confirm if the BD really is multi-language? From the back cover of the case it states English, English SDH, French, Hindi subtitles only

In the review it shows the following:

Subtitles: English (SDH), English, Estonian, French, Hindi, Korean, Lithuanian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Ukrainian, none ????
