u might want to check out AMZ UK, i think cheaper

At around 1.5 year ago, I also tend to buy cheaper UK version, but after sometimes, I think UK often faced Region problem (actually no problem to me, just that I need to rip it and save it in my harddisk to play through my BD1 media player, which time consuming tongue.gif ) and the UK BD case is larger than US + US packing usually better than UK. From that time onwards, I prefer to pay more to get US version instead of UK version except steelbooks. tongue.gif

Hi, all,
Good Day,

Amazon Canada really that great! It do ship using DHL even you only choose Standard shipping!

WOw!

Now I got a question, as I count already, I can save RM100 if I get the LOTR EE box set at Canada as I only need to choose Standard and it send via priority courier.

Now what worried me is LOTR EE set at Canada is release by Alliance but I found it is license by New Line. I think transfer shall be the same.

What I worried is the packaging, do you think it will same as US packaging or not, as I more prefer the US edition packaging. I only knew Canada don't have Digital Copy but I am ok with it since I don't need.

Beside this, anyone facing before Amazan Canada did not use priority courier if choose standard shipping, or all the while Amazan Canada give you priority courier for standard shipment?

Appreciate all help. smile.gif

For packing, better wait someone post the packing for Canada version. That could mean after release date. hmm.gif

Some news for The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy - Extended Edition:

QUOTE
You see... I've been a little busy today, working on our in-depth review of one of the most eagerly anticipated Blu-ray Disc releases ever: Warner's new 15-disc The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy - Extended Edition box set! That's right, this hefty package finally arrived on my doorstep early this morning. And if you've been reading The Bits for any length of time, you know darned well that I simply had to drop everything and get it reviewed for you guys! All the extras from the previous Extended Edition and Limited Edition DVD releases do indeed carry over to this new set. Best of all, each of these films looks and sounds absolutely stunning... including the newly-remastered Fellowship of the Rings. All three films, in fact, look noticeably better than they did even on last year's Theatrical Edition Blu-ray release. And for anyone who thinks it wasn't a good idea to split these longer versions over two BD-50s each, just wait until you see these discs! The benefits of all that extra breathing room for the video compression REALLY show up on screen. Simply put, these films have never looked and sounded so good before... period. These discs are well worth the wait. The set arrives in stores in just two weeks, on 6/28. In the meantime, enjoy the review!

Criterion's September Line-Up is now reveal. Am interesting on Carlos. hmm.gif

QUOTE
Carlos, directed by Olivier Assayas, is an epic, intensely detailed account of the life of the infamous international terrorist Ilich Ramírez Sanchez—also known as Carlos the Jackal. One of the twentieth century’s most-wanted fugitives, Carlos was committed to violent left-wing activism throughout the seventies and eighties, orchestrating bombings, kidnappings, and hijackings in Europe and the Middle East. Assayas portrays him not as a criminal mastermind but as a symbol of seismic political shifts around the world, and the magnetic Édgar Ramírez brilliantly embodies him as a swaggering global gangster. Criterion presents the complete, uncut, director-approved, five-and-a-half-hour version of Carlos.
-----------------------
The story of Venezuelan revolutionary Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, who founded a worldwide terrorist organization and raided the 1975 OPEC meeting.
-----------------------
A chronicle of the life of Ilich Ramírez Sanchez, an international terrorist who was known as the infamous Carlos the Jackal.
Release date : 27 Sep 2011

wow, CARLOS by CRITERION? seems like a must, too bad i already got the UK OPTIMUM 3 disc release. may be double dip. the onlyy complain i got for some euro mix english language movie is the english subtitle only appear during euro dialoge, it dissapear during english dialoge, this made the film difficult to understand, especially when the european speaking english.

the U$15 is a fair deal, eventually all $ will go down to U$10, then U$7 crazy discount. i will hold my horses first.

dude, 70 disc sounds a lot, especially u always go for expensive one. I also grabbed lots of BD this few months, i guess > 100 disc, but most of it are deep discounted title, i guess my average $ is around RM45 (AMZ UK is around RM40, AMZ US is around RM55). I got lots of CRITERION Collection during sales, i hope i will actually watched it one fine day.

I started losing the desire to buy at the moment, will try to finish watching my collection 1st.

I really looking forward for the coming release:
LOTR- EXTENDED CUT
13 SAMURAI
BRAZIL
DON'T LOOK NOW
STAR WARS COMPLETE SAGA
*
Criterion also release these movie on September:

1. My Life as a Dog
2. 3 Women
3. Le Beau Serge
4. Les Cousins
5. The Phantom Carriage
6. Carlos

I don't like the early 1980 movies (few exception tongue.gif ), so not all Criterion titles I like. But I like historical movies. Lot of ppl in Blu-ray.com prefer to get 3 women or The Phantom Carriage. hmm.gif

Guys, long time no see,

Any idea if the LOTR Extended Edition is same quality as the normal edition in terms of PQ and AQ?
*
What do you mean normal edition? You mean individual extended edition BD release separately? If yes, their are same.

If you mean theatrical edition, then, extended edition is better than theatrical edition but some review complaint revised color timing for Fellowship of the ring but other reviews fine with it.
