Fortunately for you, No.

Unless you were looking forward to being called an uber-nerd, it which case I'd have to change it to 'unfortunately for you'. And if you WERE looking forward to it - that, in itself, might actually MAKE you an uber-nerd. And that might actually be a little sad

Now will the videos be in high definition on the blu ray version & standard definition on the DVD release?

Good question. I suppose it depends on the video source. Seeing as how it was early 80's, it's likely to have been shot on magnetic tape, not film, and a hi-definition transfer isn't likely (a guess). Maybe it'll be clean, better than what VHS would have been capable of, but I wouldn't expect Baraka...

But this is all supposition...

I'm sure they will be upconverted like Alchemy...but really the difference will be in the lack of compression and other ugly artifacts that accompany low bit-rate MPEG-2 encodes should not be there and that's good enough for me.

I'm a massive Rush fan, so I'll probably have to look into this...

ZombieCrue · 03-06-2011, 04:26 AM

Seems that Amazon says the release date has been pushed back!

doctorsteve · 03-08-2011, 12:34 AM

New release date - May 3rd.

As long as it's before 06/20 when I see them in Hollywood, I'm good.

Paul.R.S · 03-09-2011, 07:09 PM

Interesting if the cover art up with today's story about the release date push is accurate.

Universal Music Group appears to be packaging it as part of their CD and sometimes SA-CD Deluxe Edition line. In other words, that cover looks like it'll be in a CD-size Digipack. Interesting that it's not being packaged the way Mojo and Damn the Torpedoes are even though Moving Pictures is a UMG (Mercury Records) album also. (And they've misspelled Blu-ray.)

frogmort · 03-09-2011, 07:34 PM

Well, this sucks! Gotta wait an extra month.

Jimbo976 · 03-09-2011, 08:35 PM

Too bad it's delayed. The packaging looks just like the Tommy SACD Deluxe version that I have. I was hoping for the same packaging as Le Noise and the TP releases on Blu

It might not be a blu ray delay, just a best buy 30 day exclusive http://news.2112.net/2010/05/rushs-b...1-reissue.html

Yeah, I just checked out that link. I hope that's true! I will be at Best Buy on April 5th if this is the case, Thanks!

doctorsteve · 03-20-2011, 05:02 AM

Interesting if true. I guess it depends on price whether or not I cancel my pre-order... On the other hand. Good sales of this title may be encouragement to BB to keep an eye peeled for more titles to come...

doctorsteve · 03-20-2011, 05:06 AM

FYI, Best Buy's website still list the release date as 4/5 with a price of $19.99.

Cool! That seems like a fair price

Aerodude73 · 03-20-2011, 05:26 PM

Amazon will prob. price it $18.99 a month later, so I'll wait & save on taxes.

Whats the "rush" I say.
