Any extra features to be found in this collection?

*sdp* · 02-09-2009, 12:39 AM

They are only releasing it because Mirage knows DVD is a dead format and that Blu-Ray is going to lose the HD war against digital downloads. I swear Mirage doensn't care about the turtles, they might as well bury it!

I mean DVDs way to get cash off of us already we already bought them! and now they want us to buy them on Blu Ray as well! all they want is our money. What a lousy 25th anniversary, GOD!

Not last I heard. It's been a few months since I heard anything, though, so I can follow-up on that.

From what I know, the only planned "bonus" item is a reprint of TMNT #1 (yes, again).

And that box art, especially the blu-ray box, is crap.

And how can it include "All 4 original movies!" where there are only four movies?

This is Warner Bros here. Not Mirage. Anyone could have ascertained that from the other DVD threads and from what happened with the 25th Anniversary Special Edition petition. DVD is hardly a dead format. Most video stores lose money on Blu-ray because not enough people have blu-ray players to warrant the expense of buying the rental copies. More things continue to come out on DVD than they do on Blu-ray, and all Blu-Ray players play DVD's anyway.

If you've already got the DVD's, why are you worried? I'll be getting the Blu-Rays, but not the DVD's. We can't even get the first movie here in Australia!

I though Blu-Ray already won the HD wars anyway?

Yea, but indicators are MIrage hasn't been pushing on WB at all to work on the project.

*sdp* · 02-09-2009, 01:04 AM

Just making fun of the attitude of this board towards anything.

I think it looks pretty cool actually, I want to double dip.

TristanHuwJones · 02-09-2009, 01:08 AM

LOL! Sarcasm and message boards don't mix.

Leonardo87 · 02-09-2009, 01:43 AM

Wow! they are actually coming out on Blu-ray. I am shocked for the most part because I thought the original trilogy wouldn't be transfered into it. I am not getting my hopes up for deleted scenes because we always get our dreams of seeing them shot down.

turkishproverb · 02-09-2009, 01:48 AM

Maybe we should just ask someone to steal Peter's copies of those scenes? *kidding*

*Andrew NDB* · 02-09-2009, 01:59 AM

Must be coming as a result of the New Line merger/buyout.

Whatever. I'm down to buy a Blu-Ray TMNT trilogy if it really improves the picture quality of them... TMNT 1-3 look like sh*t on the only existing DVDs so far.

Yeah, those box arts are pretty shoddy.

Damn right. As long as there is upconvert technology, and my eye-sight isn't the best, BD is a waste of money for me.

That's not entirely accurate. DVD uses red laser light while BD uses violet, so the player needs both at its disposal to switch between the two formats. I think most companies do it this way now, but first gen BD players were BD-only and I wouldn't doubt that there are companies out there who are to cheap to add this little upgrade.

TMNT · 02-09-2009, 04:40 AM

Well, most have already stated the obvious. I, too, would love special features and for two seconds, I saw eight discs and thought all four films were getting the two-disc treatment. Then, when my excitment died down and my brain processed things, I realized one was the standard DVD set and the other, Blu-Ray. While the cover art for the standard set is okay, I don't even know what the Blu-Ray artwork is even supposed to be. It looks like the CGI turtles but who knows. And I love that they used the Movie 3 turtles on the right side. And is it me, or have their giant freckles been removed? I can actually stare at them for longer than a few seconds. Anyway, looking forward to upgrading these, if only for the picture quality.

X · 02-09-2009, 07:42 AM

This can be a good or bad thing.

Some of the older movies on Bluray show their age.

HD mixed with a grainy picture like the TMNT movie 1 DVD has, would make it look 100 times horrible, then 100 times better.

I will wait for a review on the video of these Blurays before plopping down the money.

Otherwise, I'll double dip on DVD, just because it is TMNT, and show Mirage, Playmates, Laird, or even 4Kids that people do care about the TMNT, and someone should've kept it going.

As it stands now, my 52 inch Samsung 1080p, 120 htz HDTV is too good for the picture quality that made the first film downright hard to watch at some points. So for now, until reviews come out stating that they were remastered, I will get these on DVD for sure, but if they make the picture nice, I'll be all over those Blurays.

Nice to see them coming nonetheless.

Lol! You're right, it looks like the CGI turtles put through a cartoon filter or something

*Buslady* · 02-09-2009, 09:07 AM

omg that box art is crap...what the freakin hell?!?!
And they have the gall to use crappy TMNT3 images on the ad. Bleah.

I've got TMNT1 off iTunes, the picture is nice and clear, good enough.

1984 · 02-09-2009, 09:23 AM

The Blu-Ray box definitely has some sort of 2-color, screen printed look but im not sure if it is done in a tasteful manner. In the end I will reserve my judgement for a non-grainy image like what is shown on the site. You do have to acknowledge the "vintage" appeal of it though.

*CyberCubed* · 02-09-2009, 09:54 AM

Where is my TMNT 5, dammit!

I asked about this at the Con this weekend and its not the final cover and apparently the big rumor is that they are considering those special features everyone has been pressing for to be on the Blu Ray.

That was pretty funny.

If I owned a Blu-Ray player, I might consider these.
