Ocean's Trilogy - Blu-ray Forum

Damage Inc. · 05-22-2009, 03:59 PM

I found that the US-release of the "Ocean's Trilogy" wasn't reviewed as that good.
Especially with the absence of lossy audio...

Anyone know if upcoming releases, such as the upcoming UK-version, would be any better?
I lean towards that it's probably the same thing.
However, seeing its different box-art and about 1½ years between the US and UK ones,
it might be a new transfer.
Well it better be, but then it's strange there doesn't seem to be a new US-version coming.
Then again, there was no UK-version released yet, at least not a trilogy-box.
So it's confusing...

Sorry if there is already a thread about this by the way.
Please send me to it if there is, I couldn't find it.

Also, I just noticed the first trilogy-box is called a "giftset" on this website.
Is that purely because it's a collection-box or did they add something?
Nothing is mentioned in the review, but just wondering as they usually do.

Glad you posted this, I've been trying to find out more information about this for quite some time now. Unfortunately everything I've come up with points to this just being the old three titles in a fancy new box.

I'm afraid that would be the case.
Well, if nobody knows, we could at least wait until...
Oh no wait, they don't do "official" reviews on releases in other regions here...
They should really find people for that.

Here's some info, nothing groundbreaking though...

Yeah, we pretty much knew that.
Except the price of "around £45,-" is rather minus £15,- at Amazon UK.

I actually saw it there looking for things to add to my basket.
But it was under new products or pre-orders actually.

I like the box more than the first though, really nice this one.
If only they could resist putting on the blu bar;
just the white BD-logos on the front and side would clean it up so much.
Like for exampleee... the 'Batman Anthology'-box, really well done.
Then again, that title's photoshop-artwork shows a bar like this one too.
So it might not be there, but I'm afraid for it...

I didn't see the films at all, but I have an idea.
And the box seems to fit like the "classy" thing in the films.
Also kind of that "heist"-feel or something. :P

I wonder if these will have lossless?

Oh right, none of the existing ones have lossless, didn't realize...
Kind of strange for 2007- and even 2008-releases, especially being films of this decade.

Why is this so cheap? £24.99...

I was also wondering the price for a new release costing LESS than 10 per movie.
I'm afraid, seeing the price, it would be a simple re-release of the same discs.
But, I don't know, something tells me it's not, but it would be too good to be true.

Oh wait a minute, I forgot how the situation was.
There has been no "trilogy-box" for these films in the UK yet.
So it's a big chance that it's the US-box now simply released in the UK, with a new sleeve.
We'll see in about a week or two right?

BellesPrince · 06-11-2009, 06:27 PM

It's probably exactly the same disc as the US one but with a UK sleeve.

Rantlers · 06-16-2009, 06:24 PM

Has anyone in the UK seen this in stores? Just wondering if its just a fancy new cardboard box with the old three titles inside or possibly something new.

Nutbunnies · 06-17-2009, 12:10 PM

You should probably skip 12 and 13 and just get 11. It's the only good disc of the bunch.

DigitalfreakNYC · 06-17-2009, 12:52 PM

Anyone? Anyone? Same discs? Anyone?

stargazeruk · 06-17-2009, 07:10 PM

Since its a warner release unless they announced it with lossless audio (like they did with the 2D/3D edition of polar express) then It will be the exact same disk as before.

Since warner port the US disks and if the US disks don't have the lossless sound then the UK ones will not as well. Warner are to cheap.

Rantlers · 06-17-2009, 07:24 PM

I pretty much figured it was a long shot for expecting lossless audio. I'm still interested in what the packaging is, whether its one compact case or just three cases rehashed in a cardboard box.

Looks like the latter, didn't see an actual photo yet though.

Damage Inc. · 07-04-2009, 02:08 AM

Anyone know more by now?

scott87 · 07-06-2009, 10:45 AM

Its in one box with a slip cover over it and it has dolby digital 5.1 no lossless track

So I guess it's a "repackaging" huh?...
Laaame. :P
Is it so hard to create some great transfers from recent films?
They dug up series from the 60s or so and have it do all kinds of things and look great.
This however, is a bit weak.

Why do they do this? They don't care about these films?
Perhaps they wouldn't sell well anyway or they would think so?
Orrr... they have plans for later?

Henners · 08-21-2009, 05:16 AM

TBH, I don't think there is much of a need for a lossless audio as the Ocean's aren't really all that big sound dynamic from your normal movie. They are more dialogue & music orientated across the front stage. I bought Ocean 12.. I think the dolby 640 works well.. it sounds much better than the highly compressed dvd at 384
