Here is the latest word from the BDA.

Basically they are interpreting the agreement as they think fit, lying through their teeth, and are basically telling all those interested in seeing it implemented to shove off!

Lovely behaviour for an alleged professional organization!

Here is it, verbatim:

while it is correct that Blu-ray PLAYERS have an obligation to be backwards compatible, this obligation does not apply to discs or "media." In fact, content providers themselves are generally not required to sign any license agreement.


For licensees who have signed a Format Logo and License Agreement, the applicable agreement contains a recommendation that content that plays in 3D (and not 2D) be clearly labeled accordingly, but this is only a recommendation and not a requirement.


In any event, while we appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention, please understand that enforcement of any license agreement and the BDA's related rights is a matter for the BDA's own evaluation and determination.

Regards,

Kristin



I fear they have a nasty surprise coming regarding their sole right to pontificate on the rights and wrongs if UK Trading Standards take up this, or any related matter.

...but this is only a recommendation and not a requirement.

And there we have it. The BDA isn't in authority to impose penalties on studios and its recommendations only serve as a guideline to the industry, not a law or legally binding contract.

Only 2 more months of groundhog day before this really cool looking Steelbook will be making its way to us.

Btw - the OP should be updated with the release date of 17th November and price of £22.99

While I lost interest in this topic when I discovered that my 3D player converts 3D to 2D, I still kinda wanna see how far you get with it.

Crack on mate, if you succeed you'll be doing a lot of people a big favour and if you don't then no big deal, right?

Thank you for that, much appreciated.

Well, if I hadn't been told to basically 'back off' then I'd probably have left it at that.

As it is, I think I'll have a word in a few shell-likes . . .

May get nowhere, but as you say, no big deal

p.s. Zoneism, I've lost track, has that date been set back?

 

[Xenomorph]

Can anybody comment on the subs?

AFAIK it was always 17th November release with the tradewides. It was just missing (set as TBA) from the OP which is why I asked for it to be added

 

[Blu-devil]

I've decided to order the U.S. IMAX 3D amaray from Amazon and as this SteelBooK has my favourite art I will put those discs in this SteelBook come 17th November. The 3D disc from this set will go in my BB SteelBook.

Care to share a link? A search on Amazon.com for "IMAX Transformers Steelbook" returns no results

 

[Metasyntactic]

Ah, I may have misread... You're going to buy the Amazon 3D IMAX version - and put them in *this* (thread) Steelbook case because of the artwork.

Yeah?

You can import the US IMAX version via a 3rd party on Amazon.co.uk as this usually evades the import tax. The couple of companies that I've used before have sent US items as a 'gift'. I'm going this route again once it's available. They usually go live the same day or shortly after it goes live in the US.
