Pre-ordered just in case it's something special and worth collecting
Gonna wait for specs then place an in-store order...coupled with store credit and a gift card I have, it should lessen the pain (assuming no price drop prior to release)
Surprised these films never get mentioned in 'top 10' of all time
If its like the BTTF tin I will be pleased.
For £64.99 I'm expecting more than the BTTF tin as that was £40!
sorry, but its online only
One is a trilogy and the other is a quadrilogy or whatever the hell they call 4 films nowadays.
Why they are being compared pricewise I don't know.
You're getting hung up on the word tin and expect it to be like any other tin that's been out pricewise.
From the official press release, "Supervised by director Steven Spielberg and renowned sound designer Ben Burtt, Raiders of the Lost Ark has been meticulously restored with careful attention to preserving the original look, sound and feel of the iconic film. The original negative was first scanned at 4K and then examined frame-by-frame so that any damage could be repaired."
"The sound design was similarly preserved using Burtt’s original master mix, which had been archived and unused since 1981. New stereo surrounds were created using the original music tracks and original effects recorded in stereo but used previously only in mono. In addition, the sub bass was redone entirely up to modern specifications and care was taken to improve dialogue and correct small technical flaws to create the most complete and highest quality version of the sound possible while retaining the director’s vision. The result is an impeccable digital restoration that celebrates the film and its place in cinematic history."
Suggested retail for the set is $99.99. Amazon recently made the collection available for pre-order for $89.99.
Each film will receive a 1080p high definition transfer, with sound remixed in 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. No official word yet has been made regarding bonus features. Paramount does, however, promise hours of bonus content, including documentaries, featurettes, interviews and new bonus features. It would appear as though features from the DVD, at least in some part, will be ported over. We'll keep you posted as more news comes our way!
