21 Jump Street showed up today & that shipped a week later, so there's no reason it shouldn't be here, bar it getting lost in the post.

They'll probably just tell you to wait until 30 days after shipment. Then you can get a replacement/refund/whatever. I had a few steels ship out at the same time and arrive 9 or 10 days after but Starship Troopers, which was one of them, took the full 30 days to arrive.

Yea. Guess that's kind of a giveaway.

So can we confirm this is the same specs as the old one? The page here on br.com states that it's 1080p with DTS-HD MA 5.1, which I am incredible doubtful about.

So tempted by this but cannot find any info about the special features. Are they the same as the 2-disc dvd release? Thanks in advance.

If this is the same disc as the original Studiocanal UK release (which, it almost 100% certainly is - since no mention of new remaster) there are NO extras at all. Nor subtitles for that matter. (Same for the Canadian release, btw, although the included DVD with that release may contain extras.)

Kind of a matter of opinion, but, of the two available Blu-ray releases of Brick, I think this UK disc is the better looking one. Neither is great, but the CA is a little blown out (too bright) with weaker contrast and slightly less detail. Along with all that, the UK disc also has the higher bit rate according to caps-a-holic (though as someone else pointed out, that doesn't necessarily a better transfer make).

UK vs. CA

Can anyone tell me if this is Region Free or not?
Thanks

The UK disc is "sped up" by 4%. I found the change in audio pitch to be noticeable compared to the Canadian release. I own both discs and favour the Canadian disc.

Took a chance on this and lost. There's audio of the movie all the way through, but no video. If you hit top menu, it will take.you to.that screen and let.you select chapters, for a.brief second,.you can see the movie. You can also see it when forwarding. Not sure why this is. Other B locked blus I've purchased play absolutely NOTHING. No brief glimpses of.the movie,.no audio, no menu screen. Maybe someone can shed some light on why this is.
