Just noticed that Resident Evil Deluxe (09-07-2004) comes with a free movie ticket for the new film. Not my favorite film but it is $13.91 at DDD and $12.56 at Amazon w/ STL................so if you deduct a $7 movie ticket, this is a darned good deal.................................

Novasonic

I wonder if that means it will be $12.99 at BB, CC, Target, etc. on release day.

owesome price

I can't wait.

CephalicCarnage

That's a great price! I would be all over that movie if it's ~$13 with a movie ticket.

Bleh, the cover for the deluxe edition of RE looks identical to The Matrix Revolutions cover.

CrashNBurn69

whats the new stuff on this disc?

fumanstan

Cool, i never picked up the Special Edition and the sequel for this has got my interest piqued. Might be worth it for the ticket.

nemein

I was going to wait for the inevitable box set but the free ticket may make it worth it

Seantn

With these tickets, are you still able to see the movie on opening night? I know that some theaters have text next to the movie showtimes saying "No passes, no super savers, etc...."...But if this is a free ticket given by the studio, it should be allowed I would think.

Dabaomb

for the most part yes.

I was able to see Spiderman and AvP on opening night.

Doesn't the old one have Scoring Resident Evil?

Peep

Same transfer? Same bit-rate?

Seantn

The first listing says "MASTERED IN HIGH DEFINITION".

The new edition says "RE-MASTERED IN HIGH DEFINITION".
.
Does this mean a new transfer?

Jah-Wren Ryel

It probably means R(esident)E(vil)-MASTERED IN HIGH DEFINTION.

DonnachaOne

Much as I loathe the film, I'd like to hear the VFX commentary.

It's actually referred to on the previous release, despite its absence! Bastards. (Yes, they do actually reference hard information, amid Michelle's ignorance and Milla's drunken ramblings)

Novasonic

Haha, I bet you're right, but it's really funny that it turned out that way.

mike1977

I'll probably pick this up somewhere else, but I noticed they removed it from Columbia House. All I get when I search for it are a couple of video games. It'll probably show back up on release day.

Sweet Baby James

CH never puts up Columbia Tri-Star movies for preorder. You're right-it will show up on their site on release day.

i received my deluxe edition from an ebay seller today. as it is not listed anymore in online shops, i thought it had been out of print for a long time,
but my copy actually came in one of the new eco-cases. it also
still had the shiny artwork.
since these cases are very new, i guess there must have re-issued the
deluxe edition?

kenbenobi

Wow, talk about reviving a thread from the dead! Holy cow!

Rammsteinfan

The dead shall rise again like this thread!

philip74

yeah the zombie dvd! but like i wrote i was just very surprised
that an out of print dvd suddenly came in a new eco case!

The Resident Evil Deluxe DVD can be found on the shelves at Wal-Mart. The $7.50 section I think.
