Received my copy of Conan and finally had some time to watch it this morning. First of all the packaging is amazing, the slip cover and red case along with the old school art are just perfect!

When I popped it in, I was pleased to see the movie has a nice logo next to the name in my ps3

It didn't take long for me to notice the improvement in color timing vs. the original release.  It really is so much better and reminds me more of the DVD version that I loved.  The audio options are awesome as well, so many options to choose from.  I think I settled on the PCM 2.0.  The bonus features are sweet as well, comparison gallery being my favorite.

Now on to the one thing I noticed that may be some sort of glitch....if you blink you may miss it.  At around the 01:56:33 mark I noticed a slight flash at the top of the screen.  It seems to happen when the color switches from a cooler to a warmer tone.  It's hard to spot and you have to see it in motion to notice.  I think it's just the color differences from one frame to the next.  I checked my official release BD and didn't see it.  It's right after Thulsa Doom says "the gleam in the eye of Set" (chapter 15).  If anyone else with a copy can verify.

But a truly great project from Team Blu, the effort that went into this really shows!
