Oh right. I didn't know, cheers. It does look rubbish to me though. Has it even had a UK release?

Yeah, I saw it on DVD.
Pretty average.

Thanks Salty.
I'm interested in Wolf Creek but I'll wait for the re-release BD. The UK BD has the same spec. (DD5.1 + the same extras) but is annoyingly Region B, the only Optimum BD so far that is.
I'll pick up Run Lola Run too but it's not one I'm in a rush to pick up.

the uk Wolf Creek encode is poorer than the usa hd-dvd and is also not the extended version.

Thanks. I didn't even know there was two cuts. The UK Wolf Creek is annoyingly MPEG2.
More reason to wait then. I'd pick up Total Recall BD over the HD-DVD though despite the HD-DVD looking better. If I can I only want BD now.

Wolf Creek I imagine you will hate the film Brad, from everything you say its not the kind of film you would want to see in any way.

i don't get your reasoning if you are getting a combo

i don't know if you've seen Wolf Creek but far better to pay a fiver for the hd-dvd than pay double for the BD (assuming you are getting a combo)and if you are why opt to buy the dearer,inferior TR over the cheaper,better hd-dvd

It's funny you should say that Romero, as part of me was thinking the same.
Because I'm thinking ahead. It's certainly possible I will only own one Combo Player and 5+ years time I'll have to buy a BD Player. BD is the future, HD-DVD is a stop gap.
TR BD is the same price as the HD-DVD.

if you get a reliable combo then it should last more than 5 years.by which time blu-ray will likely to have been superceded anyway.

But hey you could love Wolf Creek

you never know. Still for £5 its very easy to get rid of it for a little more. Idiots are still paying well over £10 for it on forums! they are idiots as hell its in big words on the same forum about the bargains!
I paid £2.49 for Wolf Creek standard dvd set, shame as I would prefer the HD version. Not the best film veer made, but nasty and memorable for some parts.

I know. I wasn't saying 5 years literally.
I don't think BD will have been superseded in 5 years. It will take longer than that. It's just better IMO to future proof, if you readily can.

Not cheap.
You can even get the HD version for £7

Again where? I've not checked the R1 DVD prices but its' the cheapest I could find the UK DVD.
I was aware the HD-DVD was cheap but not everyone wants that. Please stop making wild accusation about prices with rarely backing it up by evidence.

Fearless at £7.99 is a good price.
It's weird how it also includes their £15+ discs too.

Posted: 14 Mar 2008, 22:31

Elizabeth the Golden Age interests me but I'll be getting the USA HD-DVD.

what's the difference? i'm going to get atonement and Elizabeth,resell them on ebay where i'll get at least £20,maybe more making the 3rd hd-dvd a freebie.

Not a lot, but enough for me: Elizabeth the Golden Age USA HD-DVD -
HD-DVD Combo = Bad
DD Plus or TrueHD = Good
The TrueHD is dropped in place of lots of DD Plus dubs. The same in fact as Bourne Ultimatum.

That's the cut version though.
Cant believe they have all that space, and yet they release the cut version(!)
