Universal Studios DVDs?

Who is in charge of producing Universal DVDs?


Most of their DVDs are OOP or awaiting a new version.



Whey do they continue to rerelease most of their titles?

Why do we continue to get thread titles that tell us nothing about the thread?

Most of their titles are out of print ????? Or awaiting a "new version" ?????

I'd disagree with both those statements, but if they were true, wouldn't that answer your last question ????

As NBC has just merged with the near bankrupt Vivendi-Universal things are changing very quickly.

Coincudentally, many of the video distribution rights they sold off (to Columbia and Anchor Bay for instance) are reverting back too.

This is good news for DVD buyers because Universal have a great back catalogue.

Universal has stopped production of all dvds that have chapter listings and theatrical trailers.

We need:
Flash Gordon: SE
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn
Phantasm II
Phantasm III

Universal needs to get on the ball and get these titles out for me and others.

Don't think Universal did Phantasm II and III. That's why only 1 and IV are released on DVD. II and III have releases in R2 though.

I'm tired of Universal releasing two packs of recent releases just months after they were released. I've given up on buying new titles from them since I would have gotten better deals on American Wedding, The Rundown, Lost in Translation, etc. if I had just waited two months.
