Universal is the company releasing it in the other regions.

so anyone know where you can get a Belgian release?

Does this look like the international forum? There are a ton of links there already.

Let's keep this on topic: The Game SE.

not at all, but we discussed this Belgian release in a few posts so i was wondering, since this is very much on topic of this thread, where you can get the Belgian release. it takes 1 post and doesn't infringe on the topic at hand: The Game SE in the least?

so anyone know?

Can't help you but I am interested in it as well...

Damn. You guys seriously can't wait a few more months for the R1 version? I could send you one tomorrow. Sheesh.

With our luck, it'll be a Universal DVD-18.

Oh god. We don't even have a release date and people are complaining? This has taken years, people. Let's not bitch.

rotfl

Make sure you go slow when you unbunch your panties. :D

Anyway, I wasn't complaining as much as trying to sardonically comment on another possible hitch down the line.

I'll be buying this no matter what (assuming it's 16:9 and proper ratio).

The two Benelux stores that ship to the US do not have it posted yet. Try either

Why are people on the fence about this? IT'S THE GAME: SE FINALLY!!!

What're you talkin about? you had it months ago ;)

Is the video any better on the LD version or this expected SE? ..I remember not being very impressed with the picture quality of this very dark movie.

You're going to compare the video quality of a laserdisc to DVD? I think I could say (without having seen this new transfer) that the new version will be light years better. Has a LD video transfer EVER been better than the DVD???

nyc...ygm -pray-

Abso-friggin-lutely.

Really.

Of a major motion picture from a major studio?

Titles?

The Texas Chainsaw Masacre immediately comes to mind.

As does The Graduate for me.

And enjoyed it many times over!

I thought somebody earlier said it may be a LD transfer to DVD.. either way, it'll be great if the video on the SE is cleaner.

Nope. He was asking about the one I have.

Oh I see..

The Belgium R2 is supposed remastered. Can't wait to see it!

Need a place to buy it from...

I tracked down a Region 3 SE from Taiwan. Well its actually a "Chinese copy" DVD-9 I got in a Chinese shopping centre in Toronto. Released by Universal Anamorphic 2.35:1 DD 5.1.

Probably will be 100% same as the eventual US Release..

i heard this transfer is absolutely abysmal, so i don't think we will get the same transfer.

Unless you've heard from more than the source in the international forum, I wouldn't jump to conclusions. And I don't remember him saying "abysmal."

Transfer is fine, much much better than the non-anamorphic verison. The eventual North American release will probably be 100% the same as the Taiwan version. This disc was released by Universal with a new transfer. Not 100% but remember this movie was shot with Super 35 and is quite dark which usually means a grainy picture. This is the way the movie is shot. Get over it.

actually, it is from my very reputable source at Xploited Cinema.

source, link? who are you talking to that way anyway? because you sound like a jerk, especially for a newbie.

Actually, there's absolutely NO reason to think that a different transfer would be used for R1 than R3.

I have a R2 Japan transfer that's anamorphic. I would have to agree about that transfer.

CanDVDfan...thanks for chiming in. I appreciate your comments even if others do not.

k .

It seems everybody here is getting impatient waiting for a Region 1 Special Edition from Universal to happen. Add me to that long list.

Fincher's "Zodiac" comes out in September so I wouldn't be surprised if Universal was holding the R1 release back to cash in when that film is released theatrically.

I'm thinking the eventual R1 edition will have more extras.

No it won't. These are all the extras from the Criterion laserdisc. They're not going to add anything to that.

<i>Mod note: CanDVDFan & scott1598 it's not really worth getting so worked up over a DVD. Phrases like "get over it" and calling people "jerks" aren't really necessary.</i>

Unfortunately. I always loved the contrast of his commentaries from the Seven laserdisc and DVD. At the time of the laserdisc version he was prepping The Game and found it interesting to hear his comments looking back a couple of films later. I would've liked to hear his thoughts now, nine years since its release.

Aside from that, commentary on all extra material including the trailers is a great feature!
