The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

looks like this one flew in under the radar

according to posts at blu-ray.com "The Green Mile" is currently available @ Best Buy stores in digibook format

backordered currently on bestbuy.com but available for in store pickup (at a less than attractive price currently)

Odd....

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

Another exclusive... ?

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

Even DVD Aficionado has the Wal-mart and Target exclusive BDs listed and did so before they went on sale.

I can't find mention of this release anywhere...so odd is definitely the right word.

I eagerly look forward to hearing more about this before running over to BB and paying more than $30 for it.

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

i just saw this on blu-ray.com as well. i want this movie so bad, but i will not pay $30 for it.. damn u BB and yr crappy pricing!

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

Holy crap! I am going at 10 am to check it out. My store says its in stock and this movie is worth a few extra bucks. Definitely buying today if its really there and a digibook.

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

$15 range for me. Cool to see it 'snuck' out. I thought it was a Nov release.

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

I want this, it's one of my favorite's, but $30? No thanks.

I also can't believe they just slipped this entirely under the radar.

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

Second film this month that Warner has 'slipped' into retail stores.

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

Yeah, but at least we knew Gremlins was being planned. This is a complete surprise - at least to me. I love the Green Mile and am happy to know it's a digibook but the fact it's not even in this week's ad and there has been no real talk (to my knowledge) concerning it's release it seems, to quote you, "odd".

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

I don't like these covert releases. What's the deal with not alerting consumers about a street date? WB has some strange practices when it comes to Blu-ray.

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

There was an ad a few weeks ago showing it coming out but Warner never officially announced it. They sometimes do the 30 days out thing (Batman Anthology comes to mind)

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

Me too. As much as I love the film, you'd be crazy to drop $30.00 on this before seeing any reviews. Given WB's notorious crappy PQ treatment.

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

Well i called to verify they had it and asked them to put it on hold for me. Picked it up and was shocked at the price. Not sure if its YMMV or its on sale. The sticker did say $29.99. Not sure what the SALE over the phone bit is on there... maybe thats what helped?

Most of their digibook titles have received very good transfers. Only a couple of them are average.

Not sure if anyone wanted to see the back scan of the insert.

I would say that there hasn't been any correlation between the packaging and the transfer. I mean, the quality has been mixed, but it's been the case with digibooks and non-digibooks. I think they just decided to put some of their bigger titles in the special packaging. Perhaps the more popular titles are prone to getting better transfers, but I don't think they've said "this will be in a digibook, so we'll do this one better."

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

I'll wait until it dips below $15. I've got a lot of movies in my Blu-ray queue anyway.

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

I wouldn't mind revisiting this movie in Blu-ray since it's been ages since I've seen it. However I won't pick this up until I've seen it as a rental and it drops to the <$15 price point.

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

The blu looks good on my 50" 1080i Plasma. It looks as good as the shawshank release to me. I am glad that I picked it up, especially at $24.99. Have digibooks gone down in price over time? Still waiting to get the old Batman digi and 300 digi but the cheapest i have seen in store is $24 and up.

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

yes, Amadeus was down to 14.99 on sale week after street
Shawshank came out with a higher price but could be found sub 19.99 in short time
I believe there are other similar examples (OFOTCN)

Re: The Green Mile (Digibook) - Available Now
 

If you are comparing this to "Shawshank", then I'm out (see below). Because I thought that PQ was yet another half assed WB effort. At the very least, I'm going to rent this first. And if I think it's decent, will shell out the $$$ for an upgrade.

That was fast.

It sounds great to me, but I'm going to wait for it to go on sale. I'll probably get it for $15. There's no huge rush for me. It's not like with Gremlins which I wanted to get immediately because of it being October and that release was also less expensive than this is right now.
