"Stardust"

Amazon finally has it up for pre-order with no release date. But Amazon.co.uk has it for £8.45 and with shipping, the U.S. conversion was only $17.67. Screw you Paramount, not waiting any longer. It's all mine and on it's way!

The UK Blu ray is excellent quality. US release is probably just a port.

Re: "Stardust"

Probably my most wanted Blu. Do I pay the $18 now or wait and see if the U.S. version is and upgrade?

As nitin said, it will most likely be the exact same transfer. If you don't want to wait then you might as well import. I believe all of the extras are playable on region A players as well. It's really a great disc.

This was supposed to come out here in the U.S. in December 2008. I've waited long enough.

Holy shit. Did I get my year wrong? It was supposed to be released a year earlier than I thought !?

Regardless. I love this film. And I would have paid twice what I did.

Re: "Stardust"

Is this any different than the HD DVD?

Just a DTS MA track over a DD+ one. Everything else (including the encode) is the same.

I'll stick with my HD DVD Copy as well. Movie was alright, not sure why so many people get boners for him.

Probably cuz it's Neil Gaiman.

I've yet to see it but I've always wanted to.

Neil Gaiman is my favorite living writer, but not for his film and TV work.

I thought the movie was atrocious, personally. All of De Niro's scenes made me cringe with embarrassment... for his career, for the fact that the filmmakers thought that character was a good idea, and for the fact that some people actually claim to think it's hilarious.

IMO, he was the only good part of the movie.

It's the best thing he's done since Analyze This, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm happy with my HD DVD but I've been wanting to snag a BD as a gift for a friend. I've been mulling over whether to import the UK BD or wait for a deal on the coming US release. For now I think I'll wait and see what deals turn up.

I really hope this comes out soon. I loved it in the theater, but haven't seen it since and I'd much rather see it in HD than SD. If there aren't any firm US release dates soon, I may be buying my first import blu-ray.

Sweet. There aren't many catalog titles I'd buy on Blu-Ray, but this is a must own for me. I never did get it on DVD so I can't wait!
