I don't. Most people I know watch this every year for Christmas, either on DVD or the times it airs on TV. None of them are American. It's just a really funny, well made movie, very well known and loved outside America.

I'm also going to get it and put the newer 25th Anniversary release of Christmas Vacation in its place. Or just get a 5-Disc case and putting both releases of Christmas Vacation in the case.

I wasn't aware this was confirmed. So has it been confirmed now that it's a new remaster?

I am glad it is getting remastered, time to sell the old blu-ray!

Kidfury · 10-10-2015, 03:53 AM

Looks like the pre-sale is back on at Amazon for this 25th anniversary edition. Although, I'm not sure it's the steelbook packaging. Steelbook might be exclusive with Target or Best Buy now...??

Also, did anyone notice that the "Amazon" price tracker on Blu-ray.com appears to have gone away??

worldchmps · 10-10-2015, 04:18 AM

So thermopile are steelbook or Target? No other versions will be out?

It happened a couple weeks ago sadly. It's against the rules or something (which doesn't make much sense but whatever) and since the site depends on the extra income from people clicking on those links, the rules have to be followed.

Try http://camelcamelcamel.com/. It's by no means a perfect replacement but you can at least check on a film to see what the prices were.

Thanks, I'll check that site out!

On another note, it is Steelbook according to Amazon. It states "Steelbook" in the description. Also, it is now only $14.99 on pre-order from Amazon.

Yep, just saw that earlier.

Since it's been remastered, I'll probably pick this up and put the disc in the original case -- nothing beats the original poster art IMO.

I'll definitely pick it up...but not until it reaches my price point.

tylerdurden10 · 10-15-2015, 01:53 PM

All over this since the 1st release is one of the worst transfers I personally have seen on blu-ray!

Now then WB, can we FINALLY get lossless tracks for the Ocean's trilogy!

OwlsWarder · 10-15-2015, 03:41 PM

Hooray! We've been holding out and watching our DVD every year because of all the negative reactions to the currently available Blu-ray versions. Just pre-ordered this remaster!

While the current BD is mediocre at best, it’s still an upgrade over the old DVD. I’ve been enjoying the BD for several years now, and I’m also looking forward to what is hopefully a noticeable upgrade for this new release.

roywilbury · 10-15-2015, 04:01 PM

So are they still also doing a "Diamond Luxe" version of this too? This link on Amazon is still active. It lists it as a "Diamond Luxe" but has no cover art:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013EJEWTI?...I3O4420BIWBAL2

I'm guessing they're not doing both a steelbook and Diamond Luxe, but who knows....

I know I'm going to sound stupid, but what is "Diamond Luxe"??

I have over 700 blu-ray and have NEVER heard of "Diamond Luxe".
