sorry to ask a stupid question but since this is being imported form germany, will the blu-ray still work on a ps3 that was bought in canada and will the disc be in english or german ?

I believe the imports on Amazon are all region free.

True. But they better hurry up.

The problem is that, because it's so old, Criterion may not have an HD master made of the film.

I have the Criterion Collection of TRAFFIC and it says "2002" on the back, so they released it only 6 years ago (almost 7 now), so Hopefully they'll do the BD version. And as someone noted, the grainy look (mostly the Mexico scenes I recall) were done purposely, (Disc 2: The Supplements - "Film Processing Demonstration: Achieving the look of the Mexico sequences").

Love this movie!

I would assume that the contract would be 10-15-20 years...but I have no evidence to support that. Just a theory. Let's hope.

Again, it depends on how long they've been doing HD masters and how well they were done.
