Only a couple more weeks until the UK release

The directors cut worth it for ED 209's overreaction to gun control

I had to double check if I had this on order can't wait to see this movie again!!

This is a blind buy for me. Looking forward to it

This is for US members. It's a little off topic but Best Buy has what appears to be the 4k release for $7.99. If you bought the original steel and don't feel like spending the extra money buying the remastered steel, buy the disc from BB and swap out the discs from the 1st steelbook. That's what I will probably do.

I wish I could erase all memories of this film and watch it again for the first time. I saw it as a kid and it blows my balls off every time I watch it. Absolute masterpiece! sick of buying it though, had vhs, criterion dvd, dvd trilogy, blu ray trilogy and now 4K remaster !

Won tickets to see it at its UK premiere at London's Leicester Square in '88.

What a day!

I agree, it's a classic.

Gonna pass on this. Already have the first release. Would rather just replace the current disc with the remastered disc which is currently being sold for $7.99 on Amazon

Some initial user reviews have come in for the new 4K scan over at the BD forums, and looks to be a solid upgrade.

Edit, please do not link yo other forums.

As the artwork is no good with huge robocop, anyone else thinking of cancelling it and getting US amray for $8 plus shipping?

 

[greg]

thats what ive done

Yup, I've gone in with Bigrob so works out for £7.50ish shipped for one copy! That's half the price of the steelbook..... that'll do me nicely

 

[nekromantik]

Im going to do the same.
Ruined opportunity as I never had the original steelbook of this.

 

[greg]

i have the steel from last year, ill probably just put this remaster disc in that

Thanks for the edit, Digitalbabe. However I didn't link to another forum as claimed, I simply mentioned its name. I mean, its the name of the format dot com. Is that not acceptable?

If the Steelbook was £9.99 I'd keep my pre-order, but when I can get the same disc for half the price just in an amaray, it's no contest

I'd buy that for eight dollars.
