There is no place on my BD shelf for packaging this size... especially considering that it is for just one movie. I will have wait for the inevitable single BD case release.

LOL, I agree, Its absurdly big

Are you sure? Others on another thread said that Entertainment in Video region-locks their stuff:

A movie without the movie. That could be a problem...

That sucks though.

eChopper · 02-02-2009, 01:11 PM

wow what a transfer !!! Its simply beautiful, way better than the DVD.

Pity they wasted so much money on the fluff that comes in the box

So you have the U.S. giftset? I'm still wondering if the U.K. version is a giftset and if region free.

micks_address · 02-02-2009, 01:40 PM

just watched the Region B release of this movie last night, first time viewing the film, with my wife.. its a tearjerker alright, reminded us both very much in some ways of the Bridges of Madison County, as well as of course Titanic..

i have a question re the transfer - at some points in the film, there are what i'd almost describe as a moire effect in some shots, you can see it around faces/and especially rachel mcadams hair.. the shots become fussy on for a brief moment.. anyone else notice this? also i noticed that i had to jack the true hd mix way up so that i could hear the dialogue cleanly..

i wonder is the region b disc the same as the region a release?

cheers

Yes I have the US gift set and it plays on both my region A +B payers

Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams everyone involved should really take a bow

Hi Mick - not sure, but I think what you might be seeing is edge enhancement. Read the official blu-ray.com review under the Video section for The Notebook, they said the edge enhancement was pretty bad:

micks_address · 02-02-2009, 02:38 PM

Thanks for that, yes it sounds like 'ringing' alright.. its not throughout the film, just noticable in some shots so it doesnt spoil things..

shame that its used really when it adds nothing to the party
