Yep. Got mine...Friday I think it was.

Finally got mine today from Warner. Hope to watch it tonight. Any good reviews on this out there?

Meanwhile, I wonder what the deal is with that other cover since it looks like the old one is what's out there.

Yeah, I was actually kind of curious if anyone out there received the red cover.

Anyone else unable to get the cd sampler to play in a cd-rom drive? I hear clicking noises inside the drive like its trying to play it but cannot for some reason. I played it on a regular cd player and it plays fine. Maybe its some kind of copy protection to prevent us from ripping the tracks?

DRM Rocks!

But I have no desire to listen to the CD anyway. At least Warner is not jacking up the MSRP on this release like they did with Beetlejuice thanks to a lame sampler.

Got mine also today from Warner and with the sexy cover. Has anyone got it from Amazon?

Can someone post a scan of the "other" cover?

I got mine yesterday from WHV.com with this cover:

Also got mine yesterday. It was shipped the day before with one-day shipping. Maybe they rushed it because it went out late.

When the movie starts and the Warner logo comes on - my God! so blurry. Skimming through the film, its not as bad as the logo threatens, but it doesn't look amazing either. Makes the film look a lot older than it is, but I can't pretend to remember what it looked like in theaters.

Nevermind...Amazon changed it. WarnerBros.com still has the other one.

I agree. I am NOT happy with the PQ! It's just fair, not great. Which pisses me off. I haven't seen one BD review for this anywhere yet. So I had no idea what to expect. Thanks again WB for doing a lousy job with your BD releases.

I think DVDBeaver had a review up before the ship date.

Got mine from Amazon today and it had the new cover.

That's a real shame. with all the bright colors and neon signs, I was hoping to be blown away with the picture quality.

Warner canceled my Pushing Daisies pre-order so maybe they did the same for your L.A. Confidential. Did you call to try and find out what was taking so long? That's what I did.

But who knows. I pre-ordered L.A. Confidential from the last Columbia House B1G1 Blu-ray sale and I just got shipping confirmation yesterday.

You mean the red broken glass one? Hmm. Better run out and grab this ASAP -- I hated that cover.

Sorry, I meant the Kim Basinger with photos of the rest of the cast cover. I refer to that as the new one because it's a more recent design than the other cover.

Edit: Watched some of this and the image quality wasn't nearly as bad as some of the people here are making it out to be. Certainly not as bad as Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Watch this and then the "Gattaca" BD, a movie older than "L.A. Confidential", and you tell me....... There is just no excuse for WB to deliver such a piss poor picture quality of this great film.

L.A. Gattaca? Must be a crossover I've never heard of

It's possible that some level of softness in the image is intentional.

Whoops! Changed.

People keep saying that maybe the softness is intentional. I'm sorry, but I just don't buy that. They are saying the same thing about "Vampire". I'm watching then new "Nixon" BD from Netflix now and even it's PQ is 100 times better than "Confidential". Also, at the time of it's theatrical release, "Confidential" was also noted for being a beautiful looking film. Getting best art direction and cinematography Oscar nominations.

Well, I haven't seen it, and I did say SOME of the softness.

Gattaca came out in the same year as LA Confidential.

For some reason I keep thinking "Confidential" came out in '98. O.K., so they are the same age. Again, look at both BD releases side by side. I just wish the people in charge of "Gattaca"'s coversion would have done "Confidential".

I haven't seen Confidential in so long that I really cannot accurately recall how it looked, but I thought this disc was clean and had decent detail.

I didn't finish watching it the other day, but I was disappointed in the picture quality.

Last on this subject, I promise. I just bought, and watching, "Goodfellas" on BD for the very first time. And even it's PQ is better than "Confidential". And then I realized, in addition to "Confidential" not having a sharp picture, the colors are very washed out in many scenes. In comparison, I was very impressed with "Goodfellas". AND this is also a WB release. So sad.
