That is a terrible cover.

I've had mine for nearly 2 years now (The SE) It's kinda weird how you're just getting yours.

That's the cover for mine.

About bloody thunder-fucking time. I've waited years for this.

That R1 cover sucks balls. Where can I get a nice scan of the Region 2 cover?

According to davisdvd.com, the release date has been moved to August 1st.

Ok, thanks MGM for the delay! :(

They just want to piss us off so we will really want to really buy this. :)

Its taken this a ridiculous amount of time to make it to the US.

But it will probably have one improvement over the UK set a lot of us have...

The end titles which tell you the fate of the characters have been turned into subtitles on the R2 disc. This is distracting and ugly. I suspect R1 will keep the original onscreen titles.

Oh My F@#$ing God! Sony has made The List.

The bastards! I was really looking forward to this, more than any other release (except for King Kong).

I really wish they would have held on to that original street date. Bastards!

DVDActive is now indicating that the release has been cancelled. WTF?

Fucking hell!!!! :mad:

Well that sucks.... I have been looking forward to this all year.... Simply because every time it is supposed to get released, it doesn't. Does any one know the reason for the delay in the first place? Perhaps it could shed some light on the reason for the cancellation.

:down:

I don't know the exact dates of the switchover, but Fox has recently signed to distribute MGM films (instead of the current Sony situation). I assume that this release was just a victim of that... Fox may very well release it down the road. (Which would bring it full circle, since the original VHS/LD releases were CBS/Fox.)


That being said, for those who are region-free, I'd HIGHLY recommend picking up the 2-disc UK edition.

fixed. :)

Sony can go put a sock in it, they should have just released this on March 14th 2006 instead of making potential buyers wait all this time. Now the studio and the buyer get nothing out of it. Sony really screwed up bigtime here with this release.

this sucks.. i already sold the copy i had in anticipation of buying this..
argh...

I just think that this has everything to do with the Fox deal. This will probably be released by Fox in the near future.

Never a smart idea; even if Sony had gone through with releasing it, there's nothing to say that they wouldn't have screwed up the release on a technical level (misframed widescreen, audio glitches, et al), so one should always confirm that the upgrade is worthwhile before selling off their original.

Meh....we've gone this long without it, what's another few more months or years....

methinks, I'll have to look into the R2 version..

Damn. All this time and then they cancel it.

I traded my original release and have no regrets. It will get put out at some point, it's just a matter of when.

But will it get put out right? That's the question.

*runs off to finally order the R2 version*

I grab a pen and I write out a list
of all the assholes that won't be missed
