R3HK Army of Darkness - £6.99 B.D., £3 discount possible.
This is the best release of the Director's Cut, hhas the best remastered transfer around of any cut + best 5.1 remix of any cut.
The disc should have the excellent Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and Ivan Raimi commentary track and the alternative S-Mart ending from the US TC.

I bet that Brad will dismiss Army of Darkness without seeing it once he learns what franchise it belongs to. SEE THE FILM BEFORE YOU DISMISS IT.

I know what franchise it belongs to.
I hated Evil Dead 2 but tbh it's not the franchise which will prevent me seeing it it's the fact I own 520 DVDs and about a quarter are unwatched. As you know you can't buy every DVD.

Munich UK R2 (Confirmed on DVD Forums) is £6.99 before vouchers.
The R1 LE is well OOP (it was £25 anyway) leaving all versions to be equal, just two small featurettes.

Aren't the R1's of Toy Story 1/2 best to get as the films have DTS?
R1 has remastered picture, DTS, more extras.
Posted: 27 Oct 2006, 17:44

Toy Story 1/2 Nope no DTS on any version in the world, even if the packaging does say it has it.
Posted: 27 Oct 2006, 18:01
by grim_tales
The R1 (10th AE) DOES have DTS, the R2 (10th AE) DOES NOT, even when the packaging says it does! You're getting confused
If you want DTS get the R1

Yuo UK and Othger regions get none for some reason (they never explained why!) but hell I dont care for DTS anyway, its not a diffetrence to most people and I am a perfectionist most the time, give me a better transfer anyday.

The R1 has a better transfer

There's not much in it though.

Nahh PAL is best for my TV, so for me its a better transfer I have owned 3 versions and they all looked pretty much identical, apart from the Ausie PAL was visibly cleaerer because of the extras lines.

Oh OK then.

You can't be a perfectionist if you don't care about DTS

, since when did you pay attention to most people?
Unless they've been remastered I'd get the R1 DTS version (if it had the same extras).

R1 has Remastered Picture, R2 does not (I think).

Remastering perfection is almost imposible, you wouldnt be able to tell any difference unless your watching it on a gigantic screen. I watched it on a 37 incher and they looked the same.

I wouldn't call
any DVD perfect in the wake of HD DVD & Blu-Ray. I've borrowed a Panasonic DMP-BD10 from work with the only Blu-Ray disc we have (Fantastic Four) and even though it is an MPEG2 (not AVC or VC-1) transfer it is
miles ahead of the DVD version.
As for an animated film like Toy Story, the quality will be even better because of the pure digital transfer to disc.

Just out of interest which 37" screen did you watch them on? What make & model?

I have been comparing a few Tvs at home latley (and at friends homes and a few in shops), the one I have got for my parents as it stood out well in the house was the Hitachi LD8700 37 inch LCD, not the best on the market, but its pretty solid stuff still for an ok price.
I am waiting for full HD before I dive in

but I haven been testing out TVs latley, very hard to see a difference in a lot of em even when set up perfectly. Still I had a Sony 42 inch Bravia LCD rear screen TV last week, what an appauling TV

it went straight back.
I cannot wait for HD myself as the larger TVs just show too many flaws with current dvds, but again waiting is the way I am going still

I want them now sadly.
