PQ is top-notch. Like their transfer of The Shout, it's from a very recent scan: close-ups and detail are amazing, greys are beautiful. Sometimes it may look a bit too smooth, but a very fine grain is definitely there - probably just a wrong impression. Damage is virtually non-existent. Audio is lossy (DD 2.0 at 224kbps), but very clear nonetheless.

I'm interested in picking up a few Network BD releases I'm missing, and would greatly appreciate if someone who owns them, or is aware of their quality, could let me know how they are.

I'm especially interested in knowing how they compare to other existing BD releases (their Hammer titles were already released in the US by Synapse), and if Capricorn One is a safe purchase (I seem to recall that there was some sort of production flaw with this release).

The titles are:
-Capricorn One
-Countess Dracula
-Hands of the Ripper
-Twins of Evil
-The Medusa Touch
-Ransom
-The Shout

thanks

hi
i own both THE MEDUSA TOUCH and COUNTESS DRACULA,both are worth getting,picture and audio good on both releases
the extras on COUNTESS DRACULA are much better then the us release

if you search for THE MEDUSA TOUCH,i enjoyed it so much i did a review on this site for it..
hope this helps

Hands of the Ripper looks good. It's a close one between that and the US version and the Network is well worth it.

As much as I'd love to say Network for Twins of Evil, if the PQ/AQ is similar, there is a massive doc on the US disc which is almost worth it alone.

sweet, picked up Medusa Touch, The Shout and Victim for 22.44 GPB shipped to Australia.

Don't suppose anyone knows why the episodes included in the Supermarionation release are presented in 1080i/50 instead of 1080p/24? as it seems like an odd choice for Network to mess with the original frame rate when in the past they have been so faithful.

[the blob]

Sale runs until 7th November too which is good. Needed it to pass by the end of the month!

[Ste7en]

Great, I know what I'll getting for my birthday then

[the blob]

Looks to be all of their BD's except for the Supermarionation sets. I wonder if new releases will also be added while it lasts. Unearthly Stranger is out on 3rd Nov which would be a bonus.

[Dickieduvet]

Basically everything I've bought over the last few months is now in the sale

Countess Dracula
Twins Of Evil
Capricorn One
The Shout
The Monster Club
Ransom
The Medusa Touch

[the blob]

Network used to have their big sale at the end of the year so I was kind of waiting to see what they do this year, haha. Couldn't resist buying Hands of the Ripper on release though.

[nitin]

do you get a shipping notice from Network?

Just wondering because my order is not showing on the Order History page so unsure how to track status.

Yes.

[rapta]

Was gonna get Odd Man Out in the sale but found it in Fopp for £7! Thinking of getting one or two others in this sale...what's The Shout like, and is the Capricorn One disc really that bad?

One thing to be aware of from my experience, if an order has multiple items, you'll get a shipping notice for the whole order even if some of the items are out of stock. In that case, it should mention in the delivery note that they'll follow later.

I ordered 4 titles from their current sale, 3 arrived yesterday and the shipping notice stated that the remaining item would be sent out later.

Also one of the cases i received was quite badly damaged, so i sent them an email to let them know. I got an email back today to say they're sending me out a replacement case. Can't say any fairer than that, well done Network.

Their service is top notch in my experience. If it's in stock they usually arrive super quick. Had stuff in a couple of days before. Always had quick responses to any queries as well.
