[Blu-ray] Latest and Upcoming Releases šŸ“€

Bugger. Thatā€™s a pity. Great price but no point if it wonā€™t play.
Would be nice if Blu players were easily unlocked like DVD players are but as far as Iā€™m aware I canā€™t get round the region thing on mine.

Arrow just asked fans what box sets theyā€™d like to see in 2016 so letā€™s get vocal about a Sartana set? To the Facebook!

I believe the quality* is actually surprisingly good The Grand Duel / Keoma Blu-ray (Spaghetti Western Double Feature / Il grande duello/The Big Showdown / Keoma) (and the Keoma is, of course, an undisputed masterpiece that nobody has ever criticised ever).
Unfortunately that doesnā€™t help you (or me, for that matter) if it wonā€™t playā€¦

  • video quality mostly - theyā€™re a bit negative about the audioā€¦

Yes, Keoma looked awesome when I watched it with my friend who had region a player and a projector and a screen. Didnā€™t expect that for such a low price disc.

So anyone already waiting for their Sledge BluRay?

Did someone bought the German box ā€œDie hƤrtesten Western aller Zeitenā€ here and can tell something about the quality of Django?

http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00VN7KXQA/italowestern-21

But I guess it has the same quality like the blu-ray from STUDIOCANAL.
The last Blu-ray i bought was Mannaja from ā€œEdel Germany GmbHā€. That was a waste of moneyā€¦ I never Pre-Oder films again unless its from Koch Media.

I havenā€™t bought it, but these are surely the same versions which Studiocanal released on the single discs. Just a re-pack.

There will be also a limited mediabook release with three different covers of Django by a smaller label. But it seems it is also the same disc with the same bonus material .for those who have enough space on their shelf:

ā€¦ who have 40 bucks to spare. I almost fell off my chair when I saw the list price

Here u can order the 3 Versions:

This price for a repack versionā€¦no way!

Complete overview: Django/BluRay - The Spaghetti Western Database

Those genre releases by small German/Austrian publishers are often excessively expensive (releases costing 30 euros are very common) and itā€™s very hard to ever find them cheap. They could learn something from their British and American counterparts.

Itā€™s pretty cheap compared to the new German Donā€™t Torture a Duckling Blu for only 110 ā‚¬ ā€¦

http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B016QF1KLA/italowestern-21

Itā€™s all part of the new Please Torture the Customer (aka Donā€™t Spend a Buck for Anything Else) major offensive by the film distributors.

I disagree, itā€™s part of the ā€œletā€™s make more money from collectors so thereā€™ll be more of these movies on home videoā€ :smile:

Granted, 109 bucks is excessive, so is 40 bucks for Django. But most of these companies make little profit from these niche releases, so one way to ensure that they can continue those classic cult movie lines is by tapping the premium market, i.e. following a Criterion strategy. At least in partsā€¦ Iā€™m split on these questions but I prefer an amazing release to a measly 9,99 one any day if it means that movie hasnā€™t ever gotten this much love since it came out in theaters.

Maybe, but the 3 Django versions are probably only offering the Studiocanal Blu again. In that case you would pay mainly for the package and maybe a booklet.

And the Fulci disc surely isnā€™t worth the 110 little fuckers.

Criterion is of course mostly worth the price.

Are Code Red blu-rays generally region free, or is this going to be strictly a region ā€œAā€ affair?

Is it impossible to correct that typo?

Haha. Didnā€™t notice it straight away :slight_smile: Strange how something so easy to check hasnā€™t been caught.

Maybe the cover is only a mock-up? Pretty dreadful either way.

They printed the DVD with that typoā€¦ great looking print though, and they fixed the explosion at the end
