The Game (David Fincher) - Blu-ray Forum

Leterface · 07-22-2010, 12:50 PM

I really like The Game a lot. But I'm scared to buy this on BD as the HD DVD was of so poor quality.

Any info yet of the Australian/German/all other BD releases of The Game?

KarmaNL · 07-22-2010, 12:55 PM

german release in august I believe.

Dutch release early september.

That's all I know right now

Leterface · 07-22-2010, 01:21 PM

Oh well, I took the chance and ordered the Australian release of August the 4th!

Yes, that's where I ordered it from.

Actually reading more of the former HD DVD reviews from other forums members, I think it could just pretty much be the case that The Game was intentionally shot to look a little poor, atleast in some shots of the film. It might never look excellent. I just hope that Universal ain't screwing the transfer with more DNR than the HD DVD had.

Yep, saw it in the shops today. Bare bones. So disappointing. Why do they even bother then? Il keep my extra filled DVD

I should have it tomorrow so will check it out fully. Hopefully the transfer's OK, but if it's not the best I'll still be happy for the price as my DVD was stolen and this would want to look better than that.

I will take good transfer over extras on any film ever made.

Rusty100 · 08-04-2010, 02:27 AM

Yeah, I don't give a toss about extras. Ever.

I totally agree with you. Audio and picture quality are far more important to me than any extra features.
