Blade Runner: 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition Blu-ray

Blade Runner: 30th Anniversary Digibook Blu-ray

What's the Difference between this release and the 5-Disc release?

-All the Special Features are on a single Blu-ray Disc now Vs 2 DVD discs. They are all still in SD however. There are reports that the Dangerous Days doc in the new set is slightly more compressed than the 5-disc set, and the text is more "jaggier"
- The Workprint cut now features a lossless DTS-MA track, and is encoded with the AVC codec which provides a slight PQ improvement over the previous VC-1 encode.
-The Special features discs includes a 1,000+ Picture Gallery with concept art, stills, etc..

Vote for which Cut you like best

================================================== ============================
Warner will be releasing a 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition for Blade Runner later this year. The set will have everything from the OOP 5-Disc collector's edition, plus a few new extras.

Includes 4 Discs (3 BD's, 1 DVD) in presumably this order

Disc 1 (BD): The Final Cut Blu-ray
Disc 2 (BD): Theatrical/Director's/International cuts
Disc 3 (BD): Bonus content disc w/ Workprint Cut
Disc 4 (DVD): The Final Cut DVD

The Bonus disc features "1,000+ new images* which are said to be in HD. Included with this CE is a 72-page Art Production book with never-before-seen Ridley sketches, poster art and photos from the set. It also includes a Spinner model car, and a lenticular film cell that were previously included in the UCE (i.e. briefcase edition)

UPDATE: There are now 2 editions. The 4 Disc Collector's edition, and a 3-Disc Digibook (aka Blu-ray Book edition).

Cant wait for this release, killer cover

madlost1 · 06-09-2012, 03:16 AM

Wish we would get a release date for this already.

nmycon · 06-09-2012, 03:26 AM

I'll be passing on this one. Perfectly happy with the 2007 release.

100 000 still images would not encourage me to upgrade

Duffy12 · 06-09-2012, 05:16 PM

Hmmm...

alwaysHD · 06-09-2012, 05:38 PM

really cool, because last week i found the final cut on blu-ray at frys and it was on clearance, it had a $36.99 price tag, so i was going to buy it, when it scanned it was $36.99

, weird because other clearance titles had price tags of $24.99 and were about $8

If thats the case it maybe worth getting.

Better picture or audio quality and/or "Dangerous Days" in HD would be the only reasons to upgrde to the 30th Anniversary edition which come to mind...

It says Oct. 2nd on the blu-ray page.

Since I missed out on the, now expensive last release, it may work out ok to get this. Last time I bought this was LD, so it would be a nice upgrade.

MifuneFan · 06-19-2012, 01:26 PM

New pic up on Amazon! It does look like we're getting a new spinner model car than the one that previously came with the briefcase

[Show spoiler]

Unless they remastered it again, which I doubt, the difference from going to VC-1 to AVC would be miniscule at best. This is basically a repackage with a DVD and DC thrown in.

KarmaNL · 06-19-2012, 01:45 PM

quadruple dip time yeah!

laserdisc, vhs, dvd, bluray mmmm

silverlakephil · 06-19-2012, 01:56 PM

Looks nice, but I'll probably pass on this one. Now if there was a steelbook...

Adam.C · 06-19-2012, 02:36 PM

That is bad ass. But I will probably just hold onto my 5-disc set.

sk33tr · 06-19-2012, 02:44 PM

may have to finally get this film on blu-ray.

GoBlu08 · 06-19-2012, 02:51 PM

I am excited for this release as it's one of my favorite movies of all time. I hope the Oct. 2nd release date stands.

sheldo · 06-19-2012, 03:21 PM

Add in some images (??!) & an art book and no one will notice it's a shameless double dip

Feels like they're gonna use all the Blade Runner 2 news floating about to gather some free advertisment for this.

Hope they wised up and put Dangerous Days in HD on there, which I doubt.

Otherwise, new transfer + dts master hd will suffice. I'm a sucker for everything blade runner.
