I've never heard that comment before - I take on it means something along the lines of good or cool?!

Would love to see a pic of that Deep Red hardbox, mate.

Especially chuffed with the Salt & Resident Evil: Afterlife steelbooks. They were the last copies in my local HMV & they were part of their 2 for £20 promotion. Winner!

Let us know what you think of the Blue Thunder transfer mate!

There's a Blu-Ray of Vanishing Point?!?!?!?

MUST OBTAIN!!!

Actually, there are two different Blu-rays that I know of:

- US - Region A locked - including both the U.S. and the longer U.K. version (the latter with the short Charlotte Rampling appearance) : Amazon.com: Vanishing Point [Blu-ray]: Barry Newman, Cleavon Little, Dean Jagger, Victoria Medlin, Paul Koslo, Robert Donner, Timothy Scott, Charlotte Rampling, Gilda Texter, Anthony James, Arthur Malet, Karl Swenson, John A. Alonzo, Richard C. Saraf

- European - Region B - including the U.S. cut: Fluchtpunkt San Francisco [Blu-ray]: Amazon.de: Barry Newman, Cleavon Little, Dean Jagger, Victoria Medlin, Paul Koslo, Richard C. Sarafian: DVD & Blu-ray

There's also a slight difference in the extras: the US release has at least one additional featurette of about 30 minutes.

Picture and Audio quality are the same - both are more than alright, considering the age of the flick. It's really worth the upgrade to Blu.

The artwork (which I do not like at all - when do FOUR helicopters and that myriad of cars appear in the movie? ) is virtually the same in both editions.

Greetings!

Right, that's it, I'm buying a region hackable Blu player next week!

Thanks for the info, Prince.

Funnily enough, I was going to take some photos and put them up in the Show Us Yours thread.

Same here -- thanks for the comparison. I think I'll go with the Region A release.

[Coffindaz]

"Companeros", "Hobo With A Shotgun", "Women In Prison Roger Corman Collection", "The Image" blu ray, "Robot Chicken Star Wars Episode 3", "Lorna The Exorcist", "Battle Beyond The Stars", "Once Upon A Time In America" blu ray, "Poultrygeist" blu ray, "Assault!Jack The Ripper"...too many films and so little time!

Resident Evil was so bad! and Salt looked even worse
Dont even get me started on Land of the dead!

I was in HMV and was very tempted to pick up Last house remake blu for £6 but I already own the DVD so not sure if its worth double dipping even at that price.

I thought Salt looked terrific with a superb AVC 1080p picture. Resident Evil: Afterlife also looked extremely good and they both have excellent soundtracks. I haven't seen Land of the Dead in HD, so can't comment.

Salt Blu-ray

Resident Evil: Afterlife Blu-ray
