The DVD Thread

i hope they include training scenes!!

 

[Wolfwood]

Hmm, I wonder if I could somehow switch the covers at the store...

 

[Eternal]

I see a few different versions on Amazon that aren't available for pre-order yet. Considering the HD and BR versions are going to be released the same times as the normal DVD's, does anyone know why they wouldn't at least be showing the HD/BR pages over there? I want to get my HD-DVD pre-order in...but can't if they have no page for it =p.

I hope there are lots of workout featurettes. And Gerry interviews. I need more of them. More Gerry!

 

[Halloween]

Can July 31st get here already?!?!?!?!?!

 

[Eternal]

No one knows why Amazon has sites for every other 300 DVD except HD and BR?

 

[PartyBoi]

I got a perfect bootleg. Want the real thing for features. Anyone watch the history channel special on the truth behind 300?

Here's the 2 disc artwork:

This is the better looking one the other, the regular one is kind of gay looking...

Warner to Debut First "Blue Screen" Picture-in-Picture Commentary with HD DVD '300'

Warner Home Video is planning to push the boundaries of high-def technology with the July HD DVD release of '300,' which is set to include the world's first "blue screen" picture-in-picture commentary.

Warner first announced '300' in early May for a July 31 release on both Blu-ray and HD DVD, with initial specs including an In-Movie Experience video commentary track (exclusive to the HD DVD version).

Though IME tracks are common to many HD DVD releases, '300' will be unique in that it will include what Warner is dubbing the first-ever "Blue-Screen Picture-in-Picture Version." Throughout the track, director Zack Snyder will present the pre-CGI-enhanced version to the finished film, allowing viewers to compare the entire movie in both rough and completed forms.

The HD DVD will include several other additional exclusive features, including the "Vengeance and Valor" interactive game, a "Pick Your Favorite Scenes" function allowing users to assemble clips and create a unique montage, as well as other web-enabled downloadable features to be announced.

The remaining specs will be identical to both the HD DVD and Blu-ray versions of '300,' including standard audio commentary, multiple featurettes, a suite of "Webisodes" and deleted scenes.

Warner has set a $39.95 list price for the HD DVD/DVD combo version, while the pared-down Blu-ray will sell for $34.95.

Note that these separate-but-unequal versions of '300' are the latest in what appears to be new trend for Warner, following the recent dual-format release of 'Blood Diamond,' which the studio issued in a stripped-down Blu-ray version earlier this month, ahead of a more full-featured, IME-enhanced HD DVD edition due on July 3.

Thanks for that info . I'm still kind of baffled why Amazon has every version of the DVD's except HD and BR but I guess I will just keep checking until they finally put them up for pre-order.

 

[imdaly]

Amazon.com FINALLY has pre-orders up for the HD DVD and Blur-ay versions of "300"!

-->HD DVD<--
-->Blur-ay<--

 

[Eternal]

Hell Yes!

 

[imdaly]

Wow, so the high-def versions are no longer available for pre-order on Amazon...

I believe that means that they actually sold out their expected stock already, so they're not letting anyone else order it until they know they'll have more available. Sheesh that was quick!

But heck, in just the few hours it was up it already shot to #4 and #6 on Amazon's ranking list of ALL video formats combined! The HD DVD version hit #4, and the Blur-ay version hit #6.

I cracked up at the part when he was talking about the 7 different costumes for the scene in the bakery.

 

[jrd550]

mmm, somethings fishy - wouldn't there be an unrated cut of the movie? I'm holding out...

 

[The Storm]

The DVD isn't released until September here. What a bloody bummer.

 

[Superman1314]

I've got my Blue Ray reserved.

 

[Nivek]

What else do you want to see? It was a hard R rating to begin with.

 

[Alexia Dark]

No regular DVDs?

 

[Eternal]

The last time I looked they have both the regular WS and FS versions available, as well as the other formats.

 

[Darth Elektra]

No regular DVDs?

You mean these?

 

[Alexia Dark]

But do I need an HD DVD player to use them?
