That was very good!!! :lol:

Based off the review, this sounds like a decent upgrade. I'll bite once I find it for under $15.

This is a solid release. Impressive Picture and Audio! Even though Shout is new to the Blu-ray game they started off doing a fantastic job.

I'm real excited to get this. Shame it's gonna be so expensive at BB but Amazon has it at a decent price.

$17.99 at Amazon is a great price. Keep in mind, the extras are on a second DVD.

Thanks!
It was nice to see your comment and to see the great review on the site. A few people have complained that the picture wasn't perfect. We did the transfer from the inter-negative. I thought it looked great considering it was a low-budget film. The grain was there and we could have used noise reduction which was evident in the other two releases, but the picture would have become soft. I prefer a sharper picture and some grain..... but after being in this business for 15 years, I know I can't please everyone :)

Thanks again for the nice comments...

Awesome. Thank you for speaking to the fans! This makes me want to buy Audition even more now.

Definitely getting this one as well!! Wonder what other titles will Shout Factory be releasing to Bluray in the future?

Absolutely the right way to go. Tell your bosses and benefactors that the DVD/BD community greatly appreciates this "first, do no harm" approach to digital transfers!

Some cool stuff is coming in 2010

I did the same at BCI and received some bad reviews for those few Blu-Ray titles we released... oh well... :)

Ordered from BN.com for $17 shipped.

Re: Audition (Takashi Miike)
 
Sigh. Apparently I can't hear any dialog while listening to the film via DTS MA or TrueHD. The dialog is so low that I have to put my ear up to the front speaker to hear anything. Switch the 2.0 stereo and I can hear dialog just fine. Tried rebooting playing etc. with no luck. Tried switching tracks via the menu...nothing. That'll teach me to open my mouth before watching the whole Blu-ray disc. The soundtrack is stunning in TrueHD/DTS MA, but the audio....not so much. Must be a player problem.
