Upcoming UK Blu-ray Releases

Just realised I posted it in UK, haha!

The Korean Ltd Ed BDs that are sought after really do shoot up in value. Saw a copy of Memories of Murder go for over $150 on EBay recently!

Had my eye on the US version for a while, but it's about twice the price.
Firefly - The Complete Series Exclusive to Amazon.co.uk Blu-ray: Amazon.co.uk: Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk, Morena Baccarin, Adam Baldwin, Joss Whedon: Film & TV

Excellent news -- I hope it as some new and exclusive extras but, even if it doesn't, that's a great price for a brilliant show.

I haven't yet checked the prices but, as I don't own A Bittersweet Life on any format, it's going to be very tempting.

Oooh, that's tempting. I love Joss Whedon and yet have only seen Serentity so am definitely going to pick this up at some point. I've heard it's an excellent series and, to be honest, don't doubt that at all.

Not always true. I have a couple of Asian releases that have UK subs on the extras. Re-Cycle being one, can't off the top of my head remember the other.

my experience is with last few Korean SEs I have wanted all have had no english subs on extras and I will be highly surprised if this does.

The Host had none
Vengence Trilogy had none
I Saw The Devil had none.

It is rare for a Korean discs to feature english subs on extras as far as I know.

I expect both editions to go out of print quickly, so if you don`t want to buy it at extortion prices later, i suggest you to pre order right now, as i did. Update: This site: http://www.k2dvd.com/shop/p_detail.a...=Search&genre=

It`s already out of stock there. I wouldn`t be suprised if both editions are already out of stock before the release date.

It is a superb series and is one of many that Fox screwed over by not realising the huge fan following, changing the time and day on which it was broadcast so it ended up being cancelled.

Although I already own the UK release, I'll probably pick this up as well.

I have pre-ordered the mediabook as this is probably the only film by Jee-woon Kim which I don't already own on either DVD or BD.

I sold my dvd version ages ago and was tempted to get the US blu-ray, Glad I waited now. At that price, the UK disc is too good to pass up! Think I may give my Serenity blu-ray another spin soon!

I did the same. Gonna wait to watch the series through again before I watch Serenity though.

I saw Serenity before I watched a single episode of Firefly. To say I was annoyed at one part of the film would be an understatement!
