Looks like the UK is going to get a Steelbook Blu-ray / DVD release.

I wish they used that (albeit probably temp) art as the cover art for the NA release.

Looks like they updated it with a picture and I actually like it.

Question is now, is it going to be region free and how much exactly is £18.39 in Us... Google is telling me anywhere from 60 cents which is obviously wrong up to 22 bucks which doesn't seem right either as I would think 18 should be closer to like 30 or so

Day 1 for me as Kick Ass is my favorite movie of the year so far(and seeing as I have seen it 3 times is a few repeat viewings away from being in my top 20 of all time) The BonusView PiP is icing on the Kick Ass(pun intended) Cake.

$26.94 at current exchange rates (according to XE.com, which I've always found to be accurate).

I preordered the U.K. Steelbook. My player is multiregion, but I believe most of Universal's Blu-rays have been region-free. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

For those of you that really, really liked this movie, this might be for you. Link

I'd lock in the pre-order now while it's cheap. The shipping is free since it's over $25.

Folks should be aware that this will be shipping with two different covers for retail.

Listed as "conservative box art," possibly some form of Kick-A$$, it will be available for the DVD and BD versions.

Blu-ray
Contains 3 Discs
UPC 031398121381

Conservative Box Art Blu-ray
Contains 3 Discs
UPC 031398126119

Wal-mart would likely be a given, but Target does carry the alternative Zack and Miri Make A Porno cover (just Zack and Miri), so they may end up selling the alternative cover as well.<br><br>

But hey, as long as kids can still buy Grand Theft Auto and rape some hookers all is well. Wouldn't want them to see the word 'ass' on something.

Does target or walmart allow minors to purchase GTA?

No worries. I have a $15 RZ coupon to use by Monday. What was the deal anyway?

It was a deal only if you wanted to buy something like 100 copies in bulk for an average cost near MSRP. You didn't miss anything.

Its a shame we can't get any decent exclusives here for this movie!

Yavin 07-30-10 10:45 AM

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 
^ One of the reasons why I think I will hold off on purchasing this until the price drops, which it inevitably will.

Got my copy this morning (I got it sent to the UK early). Watched 2 parts of the making of featurette. Not bad, quite interesting. Only watched a glimpse of the film and it does look quite nice.
The main menu screen is abit odd as it has a clock and a live ticker feed at the bottom with Lionsgate info.

Ordered the UK Steelbook. Fun movie!

Yavin 07-30-10 02:03 PM

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 
... So is this 2 discs or 3? Amazon.com has 2-Disc in the item description but 3-discs in the detailed specs. The back cover art posted on DVDEmpire mentions 3 discs. But then Futureshop mentions 2 discs again ...

jdslater1 07-30-10 02:40 PM

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 
It's a 3 disc set. The DVD is seperate to the DC. Stupid and a waste as some companies can do it.

calhoun07 07-30-10 05:36 PM

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 
Why is the DVD included a waste? Just because you don't want to use it doesn't mean a lot of other people would never use it. Most folks have only one blu-ray player but have DVD players elsewhere so it offers them the ability to play the movie in any player they have. It's a great idea...more studios should do it!

I think he was refering to the fact that the Digital Copy and DVD copy were two separate discs. A few studios have recently switched to where they were both on one DVD disc.

It is a waste of space if they put in 2 extra discs instead of a DVD/DC combo.

As Bob said, I think he was referring to having the DC on a separate disc than the DVD copy, instead of them both sharing the same disc. Frankly, I agree with him.

There are arguments to be made as to whether Digital Copies are a waste, but I strongly disagree that they should be forced onto the DVD. All of the DCs I've seen are more than a gigabyte in size. I would rather that space be used for better video and audio quality on the DVD.
