I had the same dilemma... I decided to pick up the UK version for now and get the digibook at a later date. Something to look forward to after the initial excitement wears off.

Does anybody have this yet? What's it like as in PQ and audio? Any pictures of the set itself?

[hardtosayx]

I'm guessing it's the same as the US transfer so you can check out the review. I keep coming back here to see if anyone posted any pictures or anything but still nothing. I guess I'll have to find out for myself

I got mine on Saturday, nice slipcase. Haven't watched it yet, but it sounded a bit tinny and bassless from the few minutes I did check. Will report back once I have a chance to sit down and look at it properly.

hi guys has anyone got problems trying tomplay this on a ps3? mine wont load up

[2099net]

I suggest you try it without being connected to the internet and/or turning off BD-Live. It downloads a file before playing the main menu if this is enabled.

Mine loads fine on the PS3, but the Midnight Experience won't run if BD-Live is enabled. I have to turn off BD-Live, delete the Rocky Horror file from the BD content folder and then it plays fine.

I hope Fox fixes this soon, because if BD-Live is enabled, it automatically downloads the file before showing the main menu. You can't stop it, so the Midnight Experience will never play.

I have the Region 1 release (region free!) - A/V is fantastic considering the age and budget. A poster above mentioned it's tinny - I haven't noticed that on my copy.

One thing that IS an issue is that on the US release they have accidentally used an alternate audio take for Over At The Frankenstein Place - Janet's vocals are a bit off and the background music/vocals are slightly different. On some American message boards fans are up in arms but it doesn't spoil my enjoyment and is quite refreshing in a way!

I'm not gonna complain - I'm a Rocky Fa-an!

It should be, its in the sites digibook section.
Movietyme's delivery rates seem pretty good, free or £2.99. Anyone a regular customer, are they any good?

[SymbioticFunction]

^ Movietyme are kinda pricey...but very trustworthy. And usually also fairly prompt (from my experiences thus far).

[tyrannosauRoss]

Just sent them an email asking.
Anybody know of any other UK sellers of the digibook?
I've got "9" in the book form and it makes it really different!

I had the same issue, thanks for the info guys. Tried it and now the disc works. I hope this will be fixed soon.

I have the non UK European version. A 60GB PS3 backward compat with the latest firmware.

[TheNakedGenius]

I'm shocked people haven't been talking about their favourite tunes from this classic.

Mine are 'Rose Tint My World' and 'Eddie's Teddy'.

What are yours?

Awaiting your answers I will shiver with an-tici---pation.

(I'm sorry. I had to)
