I don't do it, but some people like to put the Criterion titles together, even if the other distributors' titles aren't.

I store mine by studio and then have a shelf for television

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

Me too

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

I'm really looking forward to The 400 Blows Tuesday... hope Amazon gets it to me on time.

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

Just wanted to point out that the blu-ray of "Ran" is no longer up on Criterion's site in the Coming Soon section. :confused:

Received The 400 Blows and The Last Metro today, hope to check out the former tonight.

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

Are these the same types of cases as their previous releases?

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

Yes, they are. I saw them in Newbury Comics today.

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

Did they move it to a New Release section? I don't know.

I don't see how they could delay it/cancel it. I'm really looking forward to it's release. Maybe they removed it's listing until they sort out all the bonus features inclusion issues.

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

"Benjamin Button" is now up at Criterion's website! I still don't have enough posts to put in the URL properly.

Yep, site confirms coverart is the same as the DVD (as expected.)

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

^ you forgot it's

"Academy Award®”

;)

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

Commentary!

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

Considering they didn't even mention The Last Emperor winning Best Picture on the front or back of the BD packaging, it's surprising that they're mentioning "Academy Awards" so much for Benjamin Button. Then again, it's a newer release, and it's probably studio influence.

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

$19.99 at Tower right now.

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

Ah well, mine already shipped. Either way, great deal.

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

And to think I passed on the SD for $11.70 from WHBH in anticipation of getting this!

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

Ouch. That sucks for fans that wanted it.

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

Damn. So what will be Kurosawa's actual first Criterion BD...

Re: Criterion releases on Blu-Rays
 

While we're on the subject of Kurosawa, should i buy the SD version of Seven Samurai or hold out for a possible Blu-ray release that may or may not come?
