Ciao,

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.
