Mr. Cinema

Bestbuy.com and Amazon.com are now selling this for $19.99.

Someone on blu-ray.com spotted a $19.96 shelf tag at Walmart last night as well, so it looks like they'll have it.

Just got my shipment confirmation from Amazon.

My doorbell just rang and Michael Meyers is on my front porch.

Mr. Cinema

I saw these at Walmart. Has to be the thinnest digibook ever made.

lol

No kidding! I opened my package and initially thought only PoD was in there...

Michael Meyers or The Shape?

Have to wait another month+ for my UK Steelbook.

Is that Region Free or not? I'd love to know for sure before I decide which version to get. But I'm tempted to pick up the U.S. release once I find it in stores, but I greatly prefer the original poster artwork on the U.K. release.

I grabbed this yesterday and I will say, as someone who disliked the artwork as seen online, it does look better in person. It looks like a painting.

Ding-dong!

It's listed as B but you never know, I'll try to bypass it like I did my SILENT HILL REVELATION Region B FRENCH STEELBOOK.

If not then I'll have to get a REGION-FREE player

The cover art looks slightly better in person. It does have a nice textured feel to it.

The digibook, on the other hand, is terrible. It doesn't have the plastic "plate" to hold the disc, it's just a paper sleeve glued to the back cover of the digibook. I thought the package looked awful thin when I picked it up at the store but didn't realize why until I opened it.

Oh well, I'm looking forward to revisiting the film in October.

what? someone have a picture of this? looks like i'll be holding out for the standard case release.

GoldenJCJ

Here's a couple quick pics I took:

Hm. That's disappointing.

GoldenJCJ

Indeed. Additionally, when I put it on my shelf next to my other digibooks I found that its dimensions are slightly larger that the others. It sticks out about 1/8 of an inch further than the others.

First world problems, I know, but it's still disappointing. It's the movie that counts though, right?

It seems like they could have just used a standard case with an embossed slipcover similar to the digibook cover and everything else inside could have just been a pamphlet or insert. Using a digibook doesn't really add anything of value to the product.

BARRRRFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ringmaster

That digibook sucks shit.

I'll wait for the price drop. Not in a rush to buy this.

OldBoy

Frankly, I don't give a fuck. I wanted the movie.

Mr. Cinema

If you want this cheaper, you might try FYE. Their are supposed to be selling it for $16.99. The title may have a $24.99 sale price, but it rings up $16.99.

Julie Walker

Thanks for the tip. Only one FYE exists in MN today, but I decided to take a drive out to the mall it's at just to browse. It was fun browsing a movie store again and a shame many are going out of business. Since Target and Best Buy etc have bland selections, and carry the same stuff all the time. So it's fun to see other titles you won't run into elsewhere.

They had one copy of the release left, and it was hiding in the DVD section with the other Halloween films. The Blu-ray section only had the prior release, and the Rob Zombie films. So I was glad I found a copy, and it was in mint condition unlike the copies at Wal-mart where the spider-wrap dug into the side of the case and it was bent and cramped into the shelf.

It did ring up at $16.99 despite being listed as $24.99 on sale. This even surprised the clerk, since I asked him just to scan it and see what it totals with tax, since I want to make sure I have enough money for it or not. And sure enough, $16.99 was the price, and I said "It's a deal, that's the best price around, cool" and was very happy to score it at that price.

I want to watch the movie immediately, but then realized October is only a couple days a way. So I'll try to hold out.

I've been following the controversy on the blu-ray.com forum, and have gotten a headache from it. Since it just goes on and on and on and is insane. So I've backed away and won't waste my time reading the entire thread. But I am confused and curious about the mono soundtrack 'controversy'. Some claim it's a downmix of the 7.1 track, others claim it's not, and some claims it's the 'original' mix or a 'remix'. I'm not sure which track I'll view the film with, though I usually always aim for the original mix be it mono or stereo/5.1+.

Spottedfeather

Absolutely the regular case instead of this mess for me. Of course, I may not be able to find it if amazon doesn't fix their search....

Ranger

I think the cover's alright but 2007 blu cover is better.

The new cover just reminds me too much of the Scarface DVD cover.
