IanD1503559705 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 If you pre-ordered from Amazon UK about 1 month ago, it was just over £10, but they put the price up a few pounds since then. Amazon UK has a habit of dropping the price not long after release, so if you can wait a bit you can get it cheaper. Those who want something immediately it is released are always gouged on price.

IndyJnr Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Just picked up a copy from JB for $25. Says on the cover 4 discs but when I opened it only had 3, looks like the dvd version and the digital version are on one disc? Hmm... a bit of misleading advertising.

Hmm... a bit of misleading advertising. There's 4 in mine. (JB Lentacular Edition). The first disc was actually hidden under some leaflets on the inside cover. Have a look there. Andys.

tonyjg Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 the 4 pack is $22 at Kmart - best of luck trying to find anything at one of their stores. or.... you could wait until the whole collection eventually comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneMan Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Watched this one on the weekend and although the sound quality was very good - the image quality was terrible. I have seen DVD's with better PQ. Apart from the PQ the movie was almost entirely shot using a wide angle camera which made most of the closeup scenes wierd because people looked stretched (sideways) - and many of the scenes had the actors heads croped or very close to the top.

Watched this saturday night I agree about the picture quality not being the best, was this done deliberately by the director to give it a certain look?. Might give it another viewing tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon are sticking to their practice of dropping the price only a few days after release. There really is no point in pre-ordering late unless you absolutely have to have it close to the release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanD1503559705 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) The UK version only has 3 discs: 2xBD, 1xDVD but is called "Triple Play" with Digital Copy. When you look further, there is a leaflet with a code telling you how to download the digital copy. What I think Warner have done is release a combo version with a downloadable digital copy and a "deluxe" version with the digital copy on an actual disc (and maybe a lenticular cover). I haven't yet checked whether my UK version has the beginning scene from Part 2. I hope it does, unless Warners made 2 different extras discs: one for the combo and a different one for the "deluxe". In the USA I think they have a single disc version, combo version (1xBD, 1xDVD, 1xDigital Copy) and a Best Buy Exclusive version (2xBD, 1xDVD, 1xDigital Copy).

XxDeadlyxX Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 This is how I sum up this film: Dark, Dark, and Dark. Did I mention it's as dark as this spoiler? It's almost like they took the photography approach from Half-Blood Prince and pushed it even further so that there's no detail in character's clothing etc, it's just all black. When there's a bit of light it's like a sigh of relief because then you can actually see some detail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myrantz Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 This is how I sum up this film:Dark, Dark, and Dark. Can post a histogram? This histogram is from the HP6... Hopefully the new movie is better... Bloody difficult to watch HP6 on my LCD, had to turn on dynamic contrast, gave me tons of artefacts and issues, but a lesser evil ...

I guess Warner produced 2 different extras discs: one for the standard 3 disc combo and one for the 4 disc version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most shops seem to have sold out of the DVD's and not many of the blu ray sets left either.... BigW still had plenty of Bluray combos (not lenticular cover) on Thursday, but the ticket was $28.xx: price gouging on the last day before Easter when people are desperate?
