Was at Wal Mart today and they had some Lionsgate Blu Ray titles for $10 each. They had:

Terminator 2
Total Recall
Stargate
The Punisher{2004}
Crash
The Rambo movies[not the most recent one}
Saw 1 and 2
Young Guns
Reservoir Dogs

My Wal-Mart has at least some of those for $10 too. I picked up Stargate there over the weekend.

avoid Total Recall on Bluray like the frikkin' plague, people.

The British blu-ray (region free) is quite good. Same for T2.

I was there at my local one and noticed this and every single one was OOS.

ORLY? The reviews I'd seen were fairly favorable.

Stargate wasn't too hot when I rented it either.

The British one is far superior. Much better PQ and DTS HD Master Audio too. It will play on your Region A player. Ditto for T2 (and it's the director's cut).

My Wal-Mart had plenty of copies of all the $10 titles.

yeah, but is that the one on sale at Walmart? doubtful!

No, of course not. But there are some good deals in the British stores. Admittedly not as good as $10 but I'd much rather have the good version and pay a little more. I passed on the US version for a long time and bought the British when I found out about it. In a 3 for 2 deal I paid less than $15 each, including shipping, for TR and T2.

I didn't know about these until I went to Wal-Mart today. I got the last copy of Saw II, didn't see Saw I, but they did have T2 and Total Recall.

really wish Saw III was a part of this...

Why the hell would quality be so variable depending on region? I've got the US T2 and it's a'ight, but I figured it was just grainier cuz it's a Super 35 source.

Quite simply they are (in some cases) different. The same studio does not always do the same film in different regions. They are not always clones of each other.

T2, for example, is supposed to have better PQ in the British version than in the American (different source, different transfer, different codec?). Furthermore, The British T2 is the Director's Cut and the American is the theatrical version. Finally the British has lossless audio and the American has lossy audio.

The American does have some commentaries not present in the British so if that's more important to you, OK. But I, and I figure most people, have the DVD(s) with all the tons of extras so just keep that (those).

I'm just trying to give people information. I know I appreciated finding this out.

Looks like they are at amazon on sale too

Thanks OP. Grabbed Saw 1 and 2 last night. Awesome!

Every single title was OOS at one of my local Wal-Mart's. I'll check the other two sometime tomorrow. I would love to grab Reservoir Dogs for $10.

EDIT: Actually I'm not sure if they were sold out or if they just hadn't stocked the shelves yet. I find it hard to believe they would all be sold out.

According to the Amazon UK page, it's PAL and the user reviews of the PQ are brutal, so what are you looking at?

Rambo trilogy is only $25 at amazon. Was $17.50 yesterday.

Amazon has Saw I & II for $12.49 each.

There is no PAL (or NTSC) in blu-ray. Amazon and many other sellers still haven't gotten their act together when it comes to their descriptions of blu-ray.

And many of the reviewers praise the PQ. It is certainly far better than any DVD. One reviewer who has seen both said: "This is much better than the US BD, as it was riddled with compression problems, so that's one thing we can be thankful to Optimum and Canal+." I haven't seen the American blu-ray myself but I'm sure the British is at least as good. Plus, as I've said, director's cut and lossless audio.

I'm sure we haven't seen the best blu-ray there will ever be of this film but right now it's easily the best available.

Good to know. T2 and Total Recall are two titles I probably would have picked up.

Thanks. I picked up Saw and Saw 2

Picked up Crash and Reservoir Dogs. Already had Young Guns. The Wal-Mart near me had at least 4 of every one mentioned.
