Lovely stuff!

huntauk · 04-12-2012, 06:17 PM

Why couldn't it be the week before? I'm in Estonia for 3 weeks in June!

Oh well it will be waiting on the doormat.

BarnDoor · 04-12-2012, 06:41 PM

Excellent. But slightly odd that the US is getting different artwork.

mattyl149 · 04-12-2012, 07:00 PM

Like Chinatown, this is one film I've been holding off seeing as I wanted to watch it on blu-ray. All The President's Men and The Conversation are the other two

insomniac013 · 04-12-2012, 07:07 PM

You the man, KingSimba!

I've never seen The Sting or even know what it's about, but I do LOVE me some classic films on Blu-Ray Digibooks!

EDIT: Which cover art do you guys prefer? The US or UK one? I do think it's weird that we get a different cover...

Albatross365 · 04-12-2012, 07:44 PM

The UK one. It's the one that's on all the posters

I prefer the UK cover, but it would be better without the Universal Collectors series on the top.

Someone can tell me if this edition has castillian, language or subtitles. Thanks.

Just checked it and it is not listed on there

spearce8 · 06-11-2012, 07:26 PM

Does this not come in standard Amaray?

TheDaVinci COD · 06-11-2012, 07:48 PM

Anyone had their copy through yet? Hoping my Amazon order will be delivered tomorrow.

The hd dvd release is superior to this BD release. Universal effs up another catalog transfer again! DNR and contrast boosting.

I see Play are listing a 'standard amaray' for release on Sept 10th, they are the only online retailers to list this pre-order, does this mean a Play exclusive?

I would guess this is for general sale, as the digibooks were always marked as limited editions.

Just looking Zavvi are also listing standard releases on 10th Sept these for all the titles previously available as UK Universal 100 digibooks. Looks like if you want these as digibooks buy now.
