According to this not really:

http://www.avforums.com/movies/The-Long ... u-ray.html

The USA BD is 1.78:1, this is 1.66:1 so has minor cropping but the review also says 1.66:1 is the original aspect ratio. The UK BD has a lot more extras than the USA one.

it's getting a re-releae with a reportedly different transfer http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Long- ... 095/....to be honest,cannot see this film ever looking great,for £3.95 this is a no-brainer if a fan of the film.

Me either but I guess it's worth waiting still. I like it but not enough to own it. I used to. Your links broken, here's the working one:

80 something :thumbs: some pretty much new titles at the beginning, insane bargains!

and anyone avoiding them because of rentals- bad discs- boxes etc... must be mental.
I got a handful of scuffed cases, easily removable stickers on the majority, 1 broke box (easily replaced like most of them) and about 15 "rentals" - which are IDENTICAL to the retail discs as they are the retail discs! in a rental box, like the vast majority of all Rental discs are.

I only got 1 out of all my discs which was a real rental which differed to the discs you buy in shops. Many were mint condition as well, considering Blu Rays are pretty damned indestructible as well so passing up a £3 Blu Ray is mental :banghead:

Coming from the person who sent perfectly good discs back because they fell out of their clasps whilst in transit :roll:. I'd never own an ex-rental, end of.

I'm not interested in discs with the words "Rental" or "Ex-Rental" on the packaging. It's as simple as that. Plenty of ex-rentals do differ too.

Romero, nothing in your post has persuaded me that my stance is wrong.

I'm not that desperate to own Blu Rays that I'll lower my standards to buying grubby rentals... but if saving £3 or so means that much to you go ahead.

You really do have no idea at all in any way what you are on about :lol:

I have never sent a Blu Ray back in my life because it fell out of their clasps, get your facts right :lol:

and as I said the vast majority are NOT rentals.
You really have no knowledge at all about rentals if you think "Plenty" differ" from sell through discs :lol:

Clueless :roll:




"Grubby" ? most of mine are brand new and indistinguishable from mint newly opened discs :rock:

Who says these discs are all rentals? Some are rentals, few.

Buy some brand new boxes for the ones you think are "Grubby" and swap them over with the brand new discs and there is no way anyone could ever tell they are anything but bought mint.

If you think I have saved "£3 or so" well done, brand new films for £3 is saving a lot more than £3 or so thats for sure.

Except for the times you've said you have. No one believes a word you say any more. You make shit up as you go along, always have.

Some were, enough said. They listed some as "Used" but people got Ex-Rentals. Check out the thread over at AV Forums if you don't believe me.

Well good for you. Now run along and knock one out.

Most of us aren't so tight-fisted with money we'd save a few quid, to get a shit disc.

Not quite under £7, but HMV has a "two for £15" deal on. I picked up Die Hard 2 and Payback.

It was a 2 for £20 when I popped into my local HMV on Friday.
