agreed, this was brilliant

Got a custom BD of this with thanks to Bigrob with the remastered picture but with the Mono PCM track from the laserdisc.

Just need to get a 2 disc tray insert now to swap out so I can add the disc

Agreed this one got my vote for steelbook of the year award i know raid is the deboss boss but for sheer beauty in artwork this is the one !

Its ironic, the best ironpaks, metal cases and steelbooks are usually the ones that feature some type of iron, metal or steel robot. Iron Man, Transformers, Real Steel and of course The Terminator's are amongst the most awesome and of course most valuable.

Wow that sounds really cool. Do folks create mash-ups of releases like this very often (from things like the laserdisc or whatever)?

I have a question. I have the older amaray of this movie. Is this one the same pic and audio quality or is it better? Trying to figure out if I should open it or not.

I didn't have the older version (this is my first copy), but I do believe that the disc was remastered.

Yes this version is remastered and is supposed to be significantly better than the old version.

Ok. I guess I should watch the older one and then open and watch this to see if I can tell. Thanks Andy!!!

Maybe you should wait a little and keep that one sealed as the same remastered version is due for a US release next month.

 

[cooey]

Definatly worth checking out the differences

I can't justiy having thousands of steelbooks in the house and then going out and buying the amaray to watch the movie.

I think that would be a sign I have a problem.

There are some REALLY talented folk out there who like to preserve original film elements from older formats that tend to get ignored on the Blu-ray / DVD format. This has always been a hobby of mine since my Laserdisc days

I've got a custom Bluray of Jurassic Park but instead of the DTS-MA 7.1 audio it has a DTS-MA 5.1 track mastered directly from the DTS CD's used for the theatrical showings back in 1993. Haven't compared it yet but feedback is that it's more dynamic and more robust audio

Another good one is a BD of Alien (720p though) containing a PCM 2.0 audio track of the 70mm audio mix from the THX laserdisc (a tad different from the audio mixed contained on the other versions of Alien.) Pumping the PCM 2.0 audio through my amp and using DTS NEO to matrix the audio into 6.1, it's deffo more dynamic with a bit more oompfh that was lacking from the DTS-MA audio on the BD.

Looks OK, I like the French and German version better.

Chip, I think there's the merest suggestion of a problem already

 

[thegreat]

Sold my initial copies of this but finally picked one back up for £23

Need to sell the French version now

 

[Leo31291]

Just picked one up off the ebay tonight. £32 so more than you thegreat but I'm happy enough paying that much for it.

 

[thegreat]

Yeah it was on ebay BIN - saw it at the price and grabbed it straight away

 

[lolwut]

They look good together

 

[cooey]

All 4 look good together
