Speaking on the subject of Warners, I must also hunt down the 3 disc Emerald Edition of The Wizard of Oz.

If your talking about this version amazon occasionally has it for about $20.00 thru third party sellers. Best too check it out once in a while. It was where I bought mine at about 4 months ago. https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-W...-Blu-ray/7704/

Anyone that prefers DVD to Blu-ray should be Judged via Dredd.

Is she one of those old fashion folks who can't tell the difference between VHS and DVD? Even today, there are folks who wouldn't be able to tell difference between DVD and Blu Ray.

will they have an IMAX version?

All releases of the movie will have the IMAX scenes included in the movie.

Yeah, but that's because of a deliberate effort on the part of the studios to make BD the more sensible choice. $20 bare bones DVD vs $25 Blu-ray/DVD combo pack with bonus features and special packaging. Gee, I wonder which one I should get?

Also, blockbusters are marketed for their visual and sound effects. They sell HD on their own. And they often come with exclusive packaging at different retailers that makes fans and collectors feel obligated to buy multiple copies of the same movie.

If new release DVDs were priced appropriate to their relative quality and the effort being put into them ($10-15 max), they would sell much better. I still buy older releases on DVDs because they made some great quality sets that, HD aside, kick their Blu-ray counterparts in the teeth and are currently cheap as hell. Black Hawk Down's 3-disc set comes to mind. Great A/V quality, loaded with interesting features and docs, and has some nice packaging to top it off.

Back on topic, the trilogy set is $30!!

Just won my pre-order! I've been waiting for the complete set before buying any of them on BD.

Is there anything different about the regular TDKR and the one that comes in the trilogy set?

Because now that the trilogy is down to $29.99 and the TDKR is $24.99 it would seem pretty stupid to not pay 5 dollars just to get the 2 extra films even if you already have them.

Nope no difference as far as the Blu-rays go. It may not come with any DVD or Ultraviolet copies however. The value there is fantastic, considering you also get a 64-page book too.

It's a good value, but what will you do when the UCE comes out next year?

MifuneFan · 10-08-2012, 07:17 PM

It really depends what's included. I doubt I'd really care about the physical items that will be included, so it will really depend on what type of extras it'll have and also how much it'll cost. I already have BB (steelbook) and TDK (Batman mask case) so I'm not really sure I'll get the trilogy, but it's a great value.

Well that's not true. Actually if you look at the numbers for new releases Blu-Ray often gets 30-60% of the sales (combo packs help there). The reason why DVD generates about 75% of the optical sales vs 25% percent for Blu-Ray as a whole is because DVD has far more releases every year. Lots more TV shows, and tons more catalog and special interest releases.

70%+ the entire population of first week Avenger sales were on Blu-Ray. At some point studios and retailers (for most major new releases) will kill the DVD only sku and you will only be able to buy a combo pack.

I suspect within the next 24 months some of the studios will do this, and then all will follow.

Forever Knight · 10-08-2012, 08:39 PM

DVD does nothing for me.

jordanwalkert · 10-08-2012, 09:01 PM

So let me get this straight. Warner already confirmed they will be releasing a trilogy in December and then re-releasing yet another ultimate trilogy next year? In addition to the current versions, re-releases, steelbooks, bat cowl edition etc.?? I get that studios are all about the money, whatever. But I hope they will AT LEAST give us some remasters of BB and TDK or some insane amount of new extras in either of these future trilogy releases, my god. So many re-hashed versions.

celticmoon · 10-08-2012, 09:10 PM

For the UCE, is there going to be additional content on the Blu-rays themselves? Or are there just going to be extra bells and whistles for collectors?

If there is actually going to be more video content, I might try waiting for the UCE. If it's just a bunch of extra stuff that's going to take up space, I might just go for the upcoming trilogy box set, especially since it's down to $30 now.

If I order the cowl from Amazon, when will the charge me for it? When it ships? Never pre-ordered anything from them before.

Amazon does not charge you until the item ships.
