Actually the trailer was upscaled to 1080p on the HD DVD. It just seems the 480p video isn't upscaled on the Blu-Ray. :shrug:

I was able to find Batman Begins at BJ's for $18.99 today. Most of the blu-rays there are seems overpriced at least for a wholesale club at $27.99. But pleasantly surpised to get Batman. SO chalk BJ's up along with Blockbuster breaking the street date.

Anyone know if the Collectors edition will be normal DVD sized box like Dirty Harry was? It looks just like the DVD collection. I hate the way the Dirty Harry collection looks with all my Blu-rays

so the movie ticket is only available with the limited edition - right? I hope AMC theatres are included because of the last two movie tickets I've bought from Disney titles (Prince Caspian/Wall-E) they do not include AMC theatres.
oh and more importantly will the tix be good for the IMAX engagements? |
Free ticket is only available in the LE (or giftset...not sure what they are calling it).

I don't understand why any theater would not accept the movie money tickets. They get re-imbursed by the studio. |

Mine shipped today, preordered it last week...
I'm hoping the hollywood movie money is good at the local Regal IMAX (Mall of GA) so I can see TDK that weekend for a little less rather than $15. (I think it does, the Regal IMAX is inside Regal Mall of GA, so I assume it would work. Guess I'll have to wait and see... |

I could swear I've used one of those vouchers at an IMAX theater before. It just takes off up to a certain value of the ticket, as IMAX movies here are a bit more expensive.
|
AMC does not own Regal. The reason it is confusing is because the same company does the pre-shows for both theaters, the AMC Movie Watchers Network and the Regal First Look, with the same announcer and graphical setup.

A friend of mine bought the Blu-ray gift set and said the packaging is pretty shoddy. Anyone else get the set? Comments?

Its a flimsy cardboard slipcase with some postcards and a ticket to Dark Knight. Pass.
The DVD set includes more stuff for a cheaper price as well. |
ordered my copy from amazon yesterday and got it today got to love amazon.

Yeah the packaging is awful. When I saw the lenticular art, I thought "cool"...but when I felt the box, wow...very flimsy. Maybe I'm spoiled from the MGS4 Limited Edition box.
Anyway, the box is about as useful as the King Kong Production diaries briefcase. But at least I got a ticket to TDK (for up to $7.50 reimbursement). |
Got mine from WB store today. Looks like someone stepped on the cardboard case.
|
That makes me glad I only ordered the standard Blu-ray disc. I think the shotty case would bug the heck outta me.
|
Well the blu-ray case is inside the cardboard so you can just take it out and no one would know the difference.

Picked mine up today. If I didn't get it for free (gift card) I would have gone with the regular BD. The crap that comes with the LE is nothing special, but it's cool to look at.
I'm just so happy to finally have BB on BD!! The prologue looked and sounded great as well |
I bought the standard edition on Blu-Ray today. I don't know why some people treat this transfer like it was subpar, it really wasn't. I thought it was excellent.
|
How flimsy is the case compared to the Kubrick collection?

I might as well say that I also was blown away by both the audio and video of the prologue. Makes me yearn for a true constant height setup in the future.

I know this thread is about BB, but anyone have comments on 'Gotham Knight' BD? I wanted to know if it was worth getting for better quality, or if i I should just go with that badass steelbook?
|
I went to Fry's today and saw BB on BD for $20... then I turned around and saw BB on HD-DVD for $10.
I was torn. ... I got the $10 HD-DVD. :shrug: why not? |
If anyone is in downtown Chicago tonight there is a huge promo going on until midnight (?) where the Dark Knight (logo/image) is projected on the Sears building, plenty of actual footage as well. Plus some interesting posters and other promo materials.
A lot of people complaining on WBBM about the horrible traffic jam caused by fans of the film. Pro-B |

Just to note, I projected Batman Begins twice today on a large size movie theater screen, using a 2K projector, running it off my PS3, and it looked absolutely amazing. So for those who say they're disappointed with the transfer, I'm going to go ahead and tell them they can shove it. :)
