John Carter of Mars - Page 4 - Blu-ray Forum

Rincewind78 · 07-03-2012, 08:36 AM

I liked this film
and just going to get it when its reduced in price in 2D.
pity these silly Best Buy deals in the States get all the extras.
Wasn't Mission Impossible 4 the same?! What's wrong with standard BDs not getting their extras anymore? why must I have to spend on a silly exclusive or a 3D version to get the extras (Cars2, Transformers3). I mean, we do pay enough to get the whole package surely?!

The 3D version does come with a slip but it's been reported on AVF that it's hit and miss whether the shop has them

Picture here of the 3D version with slipcover, thanks to mensy for the photo

I concur, my HMV had loads of 3D copies with slips

micks_address · 07-03-2012, 12:41 PM

Well all i can say is the HMV where i bought didnt come with slip... i have to give props to HMV... i brought back my copy at lunchtime without receipt and just a printout of my bank account showing the purchase amount.. i explained the situation that the UK release is inferior to the USA release and had i known prior to purchase i would have imported. Without even the slightest hesitation they refunded the full amount to me.. Fair play.. i thought the best I'd come out with was store credit.. Now to import the US version!

adamhopelies · 07-03-2012, 10:03 PM

I picked the 2D version up in Tesco for £15 today.

ricster · 07-03-2012, 10:40 PM

Still can't believe they put a lossy soundtrack on this. Disgraceful.

In the UK the 2D is a single disk as Disney are now even too cheap to include the DVD they used to add and still do in the US as dual play releases.

Didn't we all used to complain about how unnecessary DVD copies were?

Just got my 3d copy from amazon today with a slip

3D Amazon copy arrived today also, NO SLIP! Sigh, its Transformers 3 all over again. I'm going to have to either find a slip in cex, or god forbid, obtain one via other means.

3Dizzle · 07-04-2012, 05:14 PM

Only just got my dispatched email from HMV after complaining this morning!?!

Probably the worst Pre-order I have ever done

Even Amazon can do better than that.....

I personally think so, I am a bit of a stickler for slips if available and amazon usually are pretty helpful with stuff like that (in my previous experience anyway)
