I wouldn't consider those bloopers. They're more like technical gaffes or something along those lines.

Nice. So does this mean it'll be a NTSC release and not a PAL release? Rik, is the PAL release from Australia time-compressed? And if so, does the KCOP have the correct running time?

Yes, it's sped up.

Looking forward to this.

Which is sped up? PAL? KCOP?

PAL is always sped up, obviously.

Looks like the extra stuff from the Elite laserdisc edition isn't going to be on the new SE release.

Dude...it's not a problem. I just couldn't understand why you blew up at me like that. If you'd like to discuss it further, please PM. I don't want anyone hating me THAT much.

It was an honest question. I really wasn't aware of anything significant being changed.

Several Wal-Marts are selling them for around $400-450.

I have zero interest in Blu-Ray. It's not really pushed back any more than they've already been mentioning. The Samsung player still comes out next week along with the first batch of discs.

I'm asking a PERFECTLY acceptable question?

What were the changes?!?!?!

They removed some technical bloopers such as the cobra's reflection in the safety glass and the metal track that the giant boulder rolls along.

I was aware of the Cobra reflection but I had never seen the metal track before.

Were there any other changes?

Thank you, btw, for answering the question I posed honestly. Apparently even mods have it out for me here.

uhhh....again.

I have ZERO idea what alterations were made so I'm not sure where your nasty attitude is coming from.

I could care less what you do or which projects you make. I'm just curious what you're talking about.

If you have trouble answering that, then I can't help you.

Thanks for understanding.

It was a serious question.

I'd like for you to answer it. If you can make such a ruckus about these supposed changes, you can surely list them here.

Check Wal-Mart. Different locations are pricing them differently. They've been seen close to $400.

DF, so you forked out for one of the new HD players eh? That must have cost you a pretty penny. Which did you get? HD-DVD or Blue Ray? You worried one might go the way of Betamax? I'd love to be there with you, but until Star Wars is out on HD I won't be getting one anytime soon. The Fifth Element though makes me salvinate a bit though since I've heard that will be one of the first movies put out on HD.

HD DVD obviously. Nope. I got it cheap. Had a ton of gift certificates and whatknot. My total cost was just over $200.

Absolutely fantastic. Zero problems. There have been 2 firmware updates and they've fixed virtually all the freezing-up that people have had. There will also be another update in the next few weeks that promises some interesting bells and whistles: people are hoping 1080p.

I'd really love to know what differences there are between the DVD version and the "theatrical" version. I've seen Raiders probably hundreds of times and never noticed any differences on the DVD that would require this type of fanaticism.

Good for you, then. I'm selling my Malata. Let me know if anyone is interested.

I paid a helluva lot more than $40. Btw...you get what you pay for re: quality.

Which are you using?

I've been using DVD-Lab but i've run into some problems with stuff that used to be PAL and the way it's authored for my new HD DVD player. Anyone have something else they'd like to recommend?

Why did you get rid of a region-free player? And why wouldn't you want to buy one ever again?

I'm in HD-land now. No more SD DVD for me. With my HD player, DVD recorder, receiver, LD player and SVHS, there's no way in hell I'm keeping one player for a few PAL discs.

I will be trying to put together one with all extras.

Me personally, I'd love to see an NTSC version of BE. Do I expect it? No, but would I like it...by all means. So if anyone's able and willing to convert and spend the time, your work will not go unappreciated I'm sure of that.

Anyway, extras or no extras I'd be totally happy with either version.

Thank you.

Building Empire will be done eventually. I'll let those know who are interested when I'm done.

Nope. No one has offered up their laserdisc...if anyone has it.

A few of us have shitty bootleg versions but they're not worth torrenting, IMHO.

Can anyone tell me which trailer is on the ORIGINAL release of Ransom? I know the special edition has the “international” trailer. I’m looking to see if the original one has the original trailer.
