The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert? - Blu-ray Forum

Can anyone tell me when this movie will come to blu-ray?

IJKMan · 07-06-2010, 06:52 PM

The issue seems to be that parts of the original recording was done on tape to keep costs down (it a very low budget movie), and that the quality of the film on the original media (both audio and video) would not make a big difference on blu-ray vs DVD...

Thanks for the info , it good to know ...shame it prob wont be able to be on Blu-Ray

Well, I'm sure a Blu-ray would be an improvement if they spent money on it.

The versions around now (from MGM and Village Roadshow) have pretty nice transfers and a good load of extras and widely available.

I'd like a Blu-ray myself but I'm in no rush and there's many more films out there I'd like to see released.

This is a very cool flick and some of the scenes showing the outback would be phenomenal on BD.

I own this on DVD and would happily double dip on this one.

About Time!

But I wonder if it'll contain all of the special features that were on the last released DVD or will it be bare like the older, bare bones disc.

I am so excited by this release! I do wish they'd use the same cover (and very nice slipcover) from the last DVD release. Regardless, this is a Day 1 purchase for me.

Just pre-ordered at Foxconnect.com for $11.69!

Just give them an email address & sign up for their newsletter for a one use coupon code for a 10% discount on their price of $12.99 and free UPS shipping. I used them for the first time with The Comancheros and they delivered it on release day, so I'm using them for all my Fox releases now. Now I can throw out that wretched non-anamorphic DVD.

(One use coupon code, but I have many email addresses

)

Did someone receive the US version yet? Confirmation of pecs (AQ/PQ, subtitles, region locked/free) would be appreciate.

I really want this one, but it is not in the Dutch releaselist yet. And the surrounding countries (France, Italy, Germany) have translated titles on the cover. Which is lame.

This thread needs to be moved out of the Wishlists forum. I can't wait to get this!

Well, I noticed after I posted in the thread that the OP has the Union Jack icon, indicating the UK release. At any rate, Foxconnect shipped my copy last Friday so I should have it in hand today or tomorrow and will start a thread and post specs if no one else has.

*TIMMIE* · 06-06-2011, 05:44 PM

Thanks.

Please check the disc itself. I've found a scan of the back cover, but I doubt it is correct.
