I wish that USB drive that they are bundling with the set was shaped like the batman ninja star. That would have made that set really worth buying.
|
Any official word on the transfer? Remaster or port?
|
I highly doubt we'll get any kind of official word until much closer to the release.

Doesn't the flash drive have to be shaped normally so it doesn't get in the way of other USB peripherals? A star shape would block other ports.
Then again, at 128MB you're probably not going to actually use it anyway. |
OP has been udpated. The disc will include all extras from the HD DVD, including the PiP feature and the same TrueHD audio track.

128 is sad. At least make it a gig. So when will this be available for pre-order on Amazon? $50 is a lot for the BD release but i like the cover so it has me sold. Also, the movie cash is a nice little add-on.

Good news. This is a pretty sweet looking set, and it would've been really lousy if they'd left off the TrueHD track. Hopefully they learned their lesson with Superman Returns. |

single disc: $19.99 limited set: $34.95 |
Thanks for the heads up, just pre-ordered the Gift Set.

From reading on blu-ray.com, it looks like Batman Begins will be a direct port of the HD DVD. No new encode. And sounds like all of the catch-up titles will just be ports, including The Matrix set.

I bet this will be the same with Universal titles. |
Here's the preorder links:
Limited Edition Gift Set Bluray Bluray Luckily I just got to $2500 spent on my Amazon Visa so I just got a $25 gift certificate, so my total was less than $13 for the Limited Edition Bluray and normal shipping. |
Though I'm relieved this means I wont have to upgrade my current HD DVD copy, I am disappointed that WB didn't put the effort to make a new 4K master for Batman Begins. That's be an easy sell for people like me that are still holding on to their HD DVD copies until something better comes along.

That Blu-ray Limited Edition better impress, as I passed on Batman Begins on HD DVD yesterday for $12.99. I guess it's better to wait for the BD for this anyway, as I'd prefer all films in the series on the same high-def format.

I see. I was under the mistaken impression that Batman Begins didn't get a 4K master at all. Thanks for clearing that up. :)

Well, given the source was DigitalBits, you could understand my reluctance to state it as "confirmed" 'round these parts.

Ah, I dont read the digital bits, so I didnt know it was known. Yes, i was told that they had an HD transfer for it which they couldnt find for the hd-dvd version.
|
Sold on the LE!

According to the Bits....
Also, a number of you have asked about the BD transfers/encodes for V for Vendetta (5/20), Batman Begins (7/8) and The Matrix Trilogy (TBA 4th Qtr), so here's the reply from the studio: "Each of these releases will repurpose the encode used on the HD release. They looked beautiful on HD and will look beautiful on BD. Each of these titles will be released on BD50s. We are very excited that the Matrix titles will be coming out on BD... they are going to look awesome. And with Animatrix added (not part of the HD release) it should be terrific." |

Yes, I fully expected that comment :lol:
|
When the third film comes out, I bet we'll get a Nolan Director's Cut version of Batman Begins. Too bad that's probably at least 2 years away.
|
No surprise to me that Warner would use the same encodes. I personally doubt that Animatrix will see a separate release on BD.

Pricing will be a bitch though. |
No date on Matrix just "fall".

I too doubt there is some waiting-to-be-released director's cut in Nolan's private vaults but that wouldn't stop a studio from releasing an extended cut just to warrant a hi-def double-dip. I'm not saying it should happen but it might.
As for this set, something tells me I'll buy it anyway. :( |
