Ok, maybe I thought I was looking at it but DVDbeaver has it up now...wow. That thing looks like it could've been filmed today. It's so fucking gorgeous.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

The Best Buy ad for next week is up and SPR is $19.99. Sold!

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

Hmm... hopefully Amazon will match. They'll likely ship mine tomorrow or Monday, so if I want to cancel I have to decide soon.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

I'd assume they will. If they change it before Tuesday even after it ships you should get credited.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

I was hoping IM2 would bring a sub- $20 price on the original IM BD. I still won't bite at $20.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

I'll pick this right up, I think I have some RZ dollars too. Armageddon and Tombstone I'm just going to put on my June birthday or fathers day list.

Blu-ray.com's review

Says it has reference grade video/audio, will absolutely purchase this first day.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

My BB totally had this when I went in earlier this morning. And it was for the $19.99 price too, I almost thought it came out today, but it doesn't!

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

Cant wait to pick this up tomorrow!

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

Hopefully Wal*Mart will carry this so that I can PM Best Buy(I have store credit at WM). Looking forward to watching this in Blu-ray glory.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

Well, it does mention a lip-synch issue in the Battle of Ramelle which I think is where the UK BD owners are also having problems. This is very disheartening.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

A post at AVS forum says it's in three scenes, and still noticeable when watched it on the PS3.

Also omeone over at Blu-Ray Forums posted this:
Just a quick note: Paramount UK have advised several forum members they'll receive replacements once the issue is rectified.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

Awesome, another fuck up.

Why can't they ever find these issues before the product goes out? No one at Paramount could do a lip synch check? If Steven S. finds out the news, I'm sure he'll be a tad pissed off.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

These do seem to be happening more and more. It's really a piss-poor reflection on the studios and their QC departments.

They should screen the HD master for a small group of fans before going to print with the initial run. It's the fans who catch things like this right away.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

I think he would be too, considering this thing meant a lot to him to make. I kinda wish we got more comments from directors and them assuring us that they're righting wrongs on things like this.

Yes and No. We here in DVDtalk may catch it but the "average" fan of movies probably would miss a lot of things. I mean, we're cinephiles...we KNOW how stuff works for the most part. How bad is the issue? Like...totally obvious or obvious enough if you pay attention?

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

Still a day one purchase for me. I've already bought this movie 4 times what's another couple times.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

Well, that just made me think about holding out a bit. Maybe Ill try renting it first...

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

Lip sync stuff drives me crazy. I'll hold off until it's fixed.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

me too

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

Any other reviews pop up from any other site?

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

I'm totally holding off until that issue is fixed, if true. I can't stand that type of problem, no matter how minor it is. I did see the tag for it at Walmart today and it's priced at $24.xx.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

If this disc is as good as the review says it is,I am picking this up. I have no problem paying an extra $3 or so. I will wait a few days though to hear from you guys that pick it up tomorrow and compare it to the SD version?

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

The 2 posted in this thread aren't enough? I would imagine most of the reviews will say the same thing about the excellent PQ/AQ.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

It seems the sync issue is more noticeable for some members, but not others. It may depend on your setup. On a modern day production like this, there is no excuse for a sync issue. I could see if it was a low budget 70s flick, but not a Steven Spielberg directed war movie.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
 

No, as I don't trust reviews from a certain site that somehow magically uses a copyrighted and trademarked name for a 'fan' page. As I said on AVSForums, I don't consider reviews in Nintendo Power or Official Xbox Magazine either.
