While I understand your frustration, this really isn't an appropriate way to make your point.

Question for those who have seen it:

I won't be blind buying the DVD, but I do want to see it. Assuming I like it, I woudl wait for the eventual HD/BD release.

So the question is, should I see this theatrically or is a DVD viewing sufficient?

that was a quick turn around! i'll probably check it out.

This is New Line. They favor DTS instead of dubs.

And also, look at their recent release slate. Name five movies they released on DVD that didn't have a DTS/DTS-ES track on there.

A must buy for me. I'll be getting the 2 Disc Platinum Edition.

Yeah, your probably right but there's no way it's going to look as good as this. Check out the packaging for the R3.

Until the HD-DVD/Blu Ray version comes out, I refuse to buy any new movies.
TRust me, once you've seen the difference you'll know what I mean.

Well that's you perogative but actually it depends on how the DVD is made. There have been quite a few crappy BR releases. I have both a Toshiba and PS3 and the picture is dependent on how the DVD is authored. I guess you can just rent it but if you just buy DVDs your going to wait for a long time when you can probably enjoy it now.

this will be a blind buy for me. i will go with the 2 disk editiion.

More details surface!:

Disc 1:
-Audio: Spanish 6.1 DTS-ES, 5.1 Dolby Digital EX, Spanish 2.0 Stereo
-English And Spanish Subtitles
-Closed Captions
-Audio Commentary by Guillermo Del Toro
-"Making Of" Featurette

Disc 2:
Featurettes:
-"The Power Of Myth"
-"El Fauno y Las Hadas"
-"The Color And The Shape"
-"Pre-Release Making Of"
-"The Charlie Rose Show with Guillermo Del Toro

God, that IS beautiful artwork. I can see why Pan is the frontrunner for Art Direction now.

:whimpers:

DAMMIT, WHY WON'T 1:40 TOMORROW COME ALREADY?!?!?!??!?!??!???!?!

Never came out here in my area(and I'm in OHIO~!) and was really wanting to see it,so I'll BLINDBUY the 2-DISC PE

:jawdrop:

:D:up: Brilliant. Absolutely cannot wait.

I will probably end up doing the same.

Can not wait for the R3 to show up in the meantime though.

Saw this the other night with my brothers and liked it. Well get the 2-disc when it come out.

OMG! Now that is how to do a 2-disc set. And now I have to wait until May?!

I just saw Pan today.

Anyone who dislikes the film either has no soul or no understanding of true cinema.

Now comes the long, arduous wait for May 15th.

Add me to the list getting the R3K LE and the 2disc R1, unless the extras on the Korean discs are subbed, which is unlikely. Now I just have to decide which versions of Babel and Children of Men to get, I'm leaning toward the R2UK Children disc since there's no release date for an R1

*edit* Just saw release date of 4/3/07 for the R1, but that is two months away, and I am impatient.

Best Movie of 2006 and tops on my All-Time list as well. LOVED IT!!!

Definitely getting the Biggest/Baddest edition of this movie each time it comes out

Definitely. It's a must see for the big screen

I just bought the R3. My thanks to those who posted the link.

I saw this in the theatre and was absolutely stunned by the film. I didn't expect much, since I thought Blade 2 was weak and Hellboy was terrible, but I have to say that this is definitely one of the best movies I have ever seen. I have not see the others that have been mentioned in this thread (Cronos and Devil's Backbone), but I'll likely seek them out at this point.

I'll buy the R1 version when it come out to replace the Korean discs, but keep the wonderful packaging. I can't imagine we'll see anything better in R1, since our packaging is usually pretty generic or just plain awful.

Why couldn't have those jerks at New Line done the same thing for Little Children?

*cries*

Does Region 3 DVD have DTS 5.1 or 6.1?
 

Yesasia doesn't really clarify what kind of DTS sound the DVD has while the New Line Platinum Edition R1 is specified as having DTS-ES 6.1. If the Korean R3 only has DTS 5.1, then I'll just cancel my order and wait for the R1. Anyone know the actual specs for the R3 to help clarify this for me? Thanks in advance.

wow cant believe people saying its one of the best movies of all time, I thought it was decent at best

Cover arts for the R1 release (1 Disc and 2 Disc versions) are posted at DVDactive.com:

Also, in regards to the contents of the DVD, DVDactive.com doesn't list DTS in their information. In the comments section, Tom (the editor of the site) indicated that he will check with New Line to confirm whether this release includes DTS or not.
