Complete movie collection on Blu-Ray in August? - Page 8

Tansut · 08-15-2009, 06:03 PM

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I think that review is spot on concerning the movies themselves and which ones are the best. But that's not why I'm posting so this can be ignored.

I wanted to post to let you guys who want to get the collection, but don't want to spend upwards of 60 bucks to do it, know how to get a bit of a deal on it.

WBShop.com is selling it for about 50 bucks right now. If you buy a real cheap DVD to get the total to $50 or more, you'll not only get free shipping but you'll also get $10 off if you use the code FANDANGO (expires August 31). My order total came to $44.44 after it was all said and done. I'll also be getting 4% off of that later on because I used Ebates. You have to get $5 in total savings from Ebates before you're able to collect, but it's worth the effort.

So to recap, get it at WBShop.com, add a three dollar DVD and use the FANDANGO coupon to get it for cheaper than really anywhere else available. Also useable is Ebates for an extra 4% off.

Happy shopping, folks!

Is the DVD collection as thick in the spine as the Blu-Ray one?

There are 2 verisons of the DVDs I've seen one was at Target the case was as thick as a normal DVD case and had none of the "Collectibles". The other was at Best Buy the DVDs were in a metal sewer shaped wallet and sat in a plastic clear case and that one was about the same thickness as the Blu-ray set and had the "Collectibles" included.

Here is a review of the DVD collection and it turns out that these are the same as the original releases:

I saw the DVD set at Target without all of the extra crap in a single-wide DVD case.

Nevermind... tone-master21 said the same thing. :p

Thanks guys. I was hoping it was a double-wide, but oh well. While we're on the topic Rose, I'm pretty sure I remember you saying you have the region 2 Next Mutation dvd's and I just ordered those, how thick are they?

It depends on what set you ordered. The ones I have the first half of the series is 3 discs, each in its own regular-sized keep case, the three of which are in a box. Then the second half of the series is three discs in a double-wide keep case, which is also in its own box.

I'm quite curious about that "Ultimate" set that you linked to in another thread, but I don't think that's the one you ordered, is it? If it could be confirmed as being unedited, I'd totally spring for it, but I doubt that's the case.

Or, if someone wants to buy my DVDs from me that I have for the same price, I'd order the Ultimate set, then be willing to "spread the wealth" if they did end up unedited.

It's not. But like I said, the run time given in the item discription says it's unedited. Just don't know if that's true.

Got my Bluray set in the mail Tuesday and just got around to watching all 4 in a marathon. Tiffany and me got a pizza and powered through them all. The set is awesome, comes with some cool stuff. I have the comic and I don't wear beanies but it was still a nice addition. I like the box a lot as well, I didn't at first but it's cooler in person.

The first movie is odd it goes from looking good to bad. The darker scenes really suffer from grain.

The second movie looks the same all the way through. It looks good but nothing amazing. Still my favorite film out of the series.

The third movie looks pretty good but everything in it is extremely bad. Some how the high def makes it look even worse. The lip syncing is super off half the time. I just couldn't handle it. I made it about 30 minutes in and I had to turn it off. I hadn't seen it in 12+ years and I had no expectations and it was still some how so bad I couldn't bare watching it.

The fourth movie of course looked good. It's also the only one that's not anamorphic so it has widescreen bars. I'd seen it so many times I just kinda glance over it. I didn't pay a lot of attention during it. I can take or leave the movie, typically leave.

Great set though, totally worth the cash.

Fun things I never noticed when watching it before in standard def. Danny has a Gizmo comic in the first scene in April's apartment. Also the warehouse has Archie comic boxes all over it. There's some other stuff I noticed if I remember more I'll post them. This is probably stuff other people have seen already though.
