Nothing

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

i am wavering on akira. i may wait for more reviews to come in.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Nothing.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Had Akira for week or so, but no other purchases for next week. Futurama is an eventual rental.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

The Bird With The Crystal Plumage

Netflixing Vanishing Point.

Might get Akira if I can find it ass cheap. (which I probably won't)

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Pre-ordered The Who Live at the Isle of Wright.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Futurama is a rental this time around. The last two were horrible.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

French Connection would be an automatic purchase for me, but I'm very worried about all of the things I've heard about Friedkin's revisionist transfer. I'll have to wait for reviews.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Samurai 7 - Box Set

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Buy:

Futurama: ITWGY

Rent:

What Just Happened
French Connection

I would be buying Ronin but I can't tell if it's actually out or not on the 24th.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Akira

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Sex Drive. Highly recommended comedy :)

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Vanishing Point. Gotta have it.

Pass on French Conn, but i'll get French Conn II since I don't own it. Reviews on French Conn seem to indicate that BD doesn't do much to help the picture. I'm find with my 5-Star edition.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Nothing.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Futurama.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Possibly the French Connection at a later date.

I was interested in purchasing Ronin, but after reading the review at dvdbeaver, which states it's identical to the Japanese release (mpeg-2 transfer and zero extras), I'll pass.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

I'll be renting:

Sex Drive
Hounddog

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

-Akira
-The Bird With the Crystal Plumage
-Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970
-Vanishing Point :up:

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Ditto.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
Vanishing Point

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Will rent Akira first and then make a decision based on that.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Probably just Sex Drive.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Akira

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

That has got to be one of the weakest release weeks in the sort history of Blu-Ray. It is a money saving week for me.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

I can say with confidence (finally) that I won't be getting anything this week. I think there have been a flurry of decent releases and the future titles coming out look good as well.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

What Just Happened?

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Pre-ordered Akira. i'll get Samurai 7 eventually....

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

First time in a while I'm getting NOTHING. If they hadn't botched The French Connection, I would have been picking that up.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

The Who disc and Super speedway.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Just Akira for me...

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Akira is preordered already

These for a later date:

The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
Vanishing Point

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Akira

Samurai 7

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
Akira
Super Speedway :rock: :bdance: :dance: :banana: :dance: :bdance:
Kaiser Chiefs: Live at Elland Road

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Akira

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Fry's wound up having Ronin even though Amazon ha snow totally deleted their listing for the domestic disk - only the import Blu-ray page is still coming up on a search.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

Pending a rental viewing, possibly What Just Happened?

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

I was holding off too, but I read that Friedkin recolored the whole movie (in a good way), just for this blu-ray release. Also, it has a bunch of new extras, in HD and an unedited score-only audio track.

Even if the movie doesn't benefit too much from 1080p, the added material alone is worthy of the upgrade.

Re: What Blu-ray Discs are you getting on 02.24.09...?
 

None. I was considering Futurama but decided to pass on that. For now.
