Shawn Watson · 05-28-2008, 06:26 PM

Already ordered THIS mofo.

From Optimum, btw.

Yes, Escape from New York is a movie that could definitely use a high def tuneup. I will be looking forward to this release.

plissken99 · 05-30-2008, 05:44 AM

Damnit!!!

I hate changing underwear midday!

Also They Live is coming the same day!

Sehnzeleid · 05-30-2008, 06:32 PM

UniversalHD has been showing it, not a drastic improvement since the film is so dark.

Well you can't really go by broadcast HD, as the BD version of anything is always better... however yeah I can't see that large an improvement over that. Really Escape From L.A. should be a demo disc whenever Paramount gets around to it.

Shawn Watson · 07-22-2008, 01:52 AM

Pretty good review HERE!

Shawn

plissken99 · 07-22-2008, 02:27 AM

Well it doesn't seem that the Russell/Carpenter commentary is on the disc, a bit dissapointing, but I've heard it a couple times anyway. Otherwise, sounds like a no-brainer upgrade!

Awww now see I thought we where getting Plisskenn99s home movies! DAMN!

Sehnzeleid · 07-22-2008, 09:15 AM

Region B

So much for that.

orko007 · 07-22-2008, 10:28 AM

Has it been fully tested as Region B only, I'm hanging for this film.

Whoa where do you see that? The review above even specifically mentions it being all region.

The DVD specs on the right hand side say it's Region B, while the review says it's all region. Hmm...

I'm thinking the Region B part on the side, may be a default thing.

Theres a local site, which updates when the disc has been properly tested, so when the result is in, I'll throw up a reply - if no one else can confirm before then.

plissken99 · 07-23-2008, 02:20 PM

Need more info on this. In the user comments on that review, a guy says he tried the disc in his PC and it came up as all region. Seems to be conflicting info, but most indicate region free, keep fingers crossed!

And btw this is EXACTLY why HD DVD should have won!

Shawn Watson · 08-04-2008, 01:14 PM

Got it today.

It IS region free.

Shawn

plissken99 · 08-04-2008, 02:22 PM

Excellent! But where did you get it? Amazon.co.uk(wtf?) still says Sept 30, the xenaphobic bastards at Play.com won't ship to the states!?

Shawn Watson · 08-04-2008, 02:45 PM

I got it from Play. Sucks that they don't ship to America. What's the point in that?

You could probably get it of ebay.co.uk for about $20 though.

Shawn

videoworx · 08-04-2008, 03:03 PM

I usually get my UK imports from Sendit.com. They ship to the US, and generally have excellent prices.

Ruined · 08-04-2008, 03:10 PM

I heard it has some significant EE.

plissken99 · 08-04-2008, 03:11 PM

Good call on Ebay.co.uk, got one for $34 US shipped. Very happy to get it now since nothing comes out this month, and next September is gonna try and drown me with domestic releases. How is the PQ?

I hope this isn't true. The MGM SE didn't suffer from much EE.

EDIT: Funny, after ordering the one off Ebay, I cancelled my order at Amazon, where it still said Sept 30th. So I read on AVS some peoples started shipping from Amazon.co.uk. Went back to check, now it says it comes out Aug 5th!? Dunno why Amazon hates me so, but I beat em' anyway. So far the EE report is from one guy who makes it sound like every edge has a 3in halo on it, and thinks the DVD has the same halos. I'll have to judge myself.

kama · 08-07-2008, 12:27 AM

Heh. My copy dispatched within hours of ordering it from Amazon.uk.

As was every one elses on AVS, just another of lifes lil jokes being played on me. It's on the way now from the Ebay guy though.

From the pix on AVS, it looks to be a pretty crummy release though. Hopefully the domestic release will use a different transfer.
