I also hope this drops a bit. $28 is really steep. And that artwork is awful.

This is my concern also. I loved the movie and will definitely get it, but I use a PS3 to play my blus. Would it not play just because it was a screener disk?

I was a little unhappy when I saw there aren't extensive extra features but after thinking about it, this isn't really a movie that would have that many extras.

I don't believe in taste lol. Jk

But as for the features. You would think they would work hard on the disc after that ****y coverart they gave us. Are they saving the good coverart for a double dip?

I think after No Country For Old Men's double dip I got paranoid that any best picture movie nominee or winner gets double dipped.

If it's a true error on the screener disc, at least they'll know in time to be able to fix it (they did a similar last-minute fix with Iron Man on Blu-ray, where the discs had already been sent out and were pulled back at the last minute for fixed copies). Or if it's just a firmware issue with the PS3, Sony will presumably fix it quickly.

I'm sure in the long run it will work out, either way. An incompatibility between arguably the most popular Blu-ray player and a Best Picture nominee will surely be ironed out somehow.

Good film, but NOT GREAT.

Not on my Top Ten!

I get where you are coming from unclejay. I hate when movies are over-hype as being great. I thought Anna Kendrick did a good job but I wouldn't necessarily say great, certainly very good. One thing, I think I mentioned somewhere before, I was expecting

Idioteque, I understand your fear regarding the happening with No Country for Old Men. Very troublesome indeed.

So neither review specifies... is that really the final coverart?

I'd say it is..unfortunately.

Trace17 · 03-02-2010, 08:02 PM

Man I really, really want this but I can't justify $26 on it. Gonna have to wait for a price drop.

Yeah, I'd pick this up in a heartbeat, but I can't afford such a high price! C'mon studios.

ryanilano · 03-04-2010, 10:39 PM

okay, how come the price of this is more than the cost of 2012 SE?
i will never understand prices.

sfmarine · 03-04-2010, 10:49 PM

It will go down just give it time.

I bought Up in the Air early this morning when I got Final Fantasy XIII. I put it in when I got it and it played fine, but I fell asleep while watching it so I started up my PS3 again to finish watching it just a bit ago, and it locked up. I saw the Paramount sequence, but then it goes blank and I get a "no signal" text on my TV. I put in both Final Fantasy XIII and The Hurt Locker, and they both played fine, so I returned Up in the Air to get a different one, thinking it was just the disc, but the same exact thing is happening with the replacement.

I realize it is early for a lot of people to have the movie, but if anyone else has the same problems can they say so? And does anyone have an idea if it isn't just the movie and is in fact my PS3? I've tried going to system update, but it says it is already on the latest firmware.

Moefiz · 03-09-2010, 01:19 PM

Make sure BD-Live is turn OFF, in the PS3 set up menu...that may be your problem...

bgbball31 · 03-09-2010, 01:25 PM

That worked, thanks, but I'm wondering now why it would work the first time I watched it when I had BD-Live on...

I haven't seen "Up in the air", but heardit was good. What do you guys think about a blind buy? Worth it?

It's a great movie. It's just not worth the $26 that the retailers are charging for it now. I'll wait until the price drops to under $20.
