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.

I hope so, but I'm not sure I want to find out. My copy arrives tomorrow. Since I have both a Sony player and receiver, you'd think I'd probably have no issue, assuming it's hardware related.

Here's a thread mainly discussing the UK disc. Some notice the sync issues, and some don't.

I'm not talking about 5 guys from a frat house, I'm talking about well-informed fans from sites like here, AVS, Blu-ray.com, et al.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
To be fair, there are people on this site as well as the others ones who said they didn't hear the sync problems with Pandorum and A Nightmare on Elm Street and I heard both of those. So the fact that some people on the forums claim it's not there means nothing to me. There are a lot of dopes mixed in with people who actually know what they are talking about. If the response tomorrow is a resounding, "there's no sync problem" then I'll bite.

Yes.
Not sure if wanted to know more or what....but - both sound and picture are pretty damn nice. I also checked out the Battle of Ramelle sequence. No synch issues that I could see. Played it on my PS3 and Curtis Mathis players.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
This is going to sound odd, but the sound, especially during any battle sequences, seemed REALLY amped up. I mean there's some serious surround and bass action going on here. I'd wager to guess this may be a reason why there are synch issues, but that spot is not during any kind of battle sequence. I'm not complaining about the sound, it's pretty much reference quality, but damn it can get loud.

No rebate form in mine.
Watched the opening sequence and the intensity and realism is amazing. I was practically in tears watching it. It is as far above the SD as the SD was above the VHS. Because it isn't for everyone it's not the perfect reference disc but it's definitely one of the finest quality I've seen or heard.
There is only one word to describe it: OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!
Didn't notice any sync issues in the part they mentioned but I was just perusing

Or, have they done rebates for other Dreamworks titles?

I'm just glad they adjusted it today instead of tomorrow or else we'd be screwed. It adjusted so late today I was expecting them to make it 19.99 tomorrow.

RE: the lip synch issue--Seems to be a non-issue for me. I only noticed one thing when he slammed down the coffee maker lid. It seemed off by a 1/4 second. Everything else was fine. I'm happy.
I emailed Amazon and got my price adjusted. Pretty quick turnaround.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
After reading a few comments today with people not having issues, I decided to open my copy tonight, but I'll wait until tomorrow to test out the audio. I'm hopeful I won't have issues with having matching Sony gear, but who knows if that'll help.

I think they did the rebate for Gladiator, but I'm not 100% certain. And Gladiator wasn't distributed on DVD by Paramount.

Re: Saving Private Ryan --> May 4th
Man I really hate paying $20 for a blu catalog title (heck even a new title)
but I had to bite with amazon price match and a good transfer....
