Highlander yet again another DVD release

In January of 2009, Highlander will yet again be released on DVD, except this time from Lions Gate, as well as November 11th, two DVD sets were released of Highlander. the UPC on the two from November 11th are

UPC 013131172393 and
UPC 013131143195

the January UPC is
UPC 031398103608

not much is really known I don't think about the January release, although the two from November i've read are from the last DVD releases from Anchor bay. Can anyone comment on this DVD.

Thanks,
Kurt Rose

From what I've seen it just looks like a re-release of the same two that came out in 2002. Everything I see for box art is the same for the single disc one that came out in 2002 and with the 2 disc that came out at the same time I've only seen on difference. In 2002 the 2 disc immortal edition came in a metal slip case, the one released in november just has the packaging colored silver and doesn't have a slip case. As for the january release I'm not sure what that is, the only release I know about for next year is Highlander Season 1 is hitting blu-ray in February.

I've seen that cover before, looks awesome. Been nice that'd had been the one instead of the one we have, just with the metal slipcover, which i like better than the one with T2

You know, one of the things that I always used to consider a pet peeve would be when other posters would come into a topic like this and make a comment like "No Blu-Ray, No Sale". I mean if they didn't want it, fine. I wouldn't try to force them. Just slightly more likely I'd find a copy to pick up, no need to announce it.

It's a shame how in the span of a month and a half, I've become what would annoy me so.

No Blu-Ray, No Sale.

Re: Highlander yet again another DVD release

does anyone own the new dvd, and if so, what details can you shed abouot the picture and sound. the Box says that it only has the 5.1 dolby track, but I hear it's got the DTS as well, and the picture is a lot cleaner. So, hopefully someone can specify

Re: Highlander yet again another DVD release

The last Anchor Bay release had really great PQ, I wonder how much better it could get?

Re: Highlander yet again another DVD release

So this is basically the same as the Anchor Bay disc (which I already own) minus the DTS track?

I'll wait for the Blu-ray. Unadulterated lossless Queen!

Someone on IMDB actually bought the disc and it does in fact have the same picture quality, the DTS, 5.1, and 2.0 Surround tracks.
