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

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???

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.

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.

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.

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