Gladiator Blu-ray steelbook!!!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gladiator-Blu-ra...oductPromotions

Go get a steelbook from AmazonUK!!!
US version is just a normal package............

 

Do want! Thanks for the link Dennis

 

I don't see a steel case...

Also, I will be extremely disappointed if this is only 5.1 surround. They removed the 6.1 from the extended cut. I'd like to see 7.1 from the Blu-Ray, but I know that won't happen, so I better see at least 6.1.

 

yeah I didn't see it either!

Sorry I forgot providing the link above.

The US version is by Paramount on 09/01, and the rest of the version is by Universal which is region free such as before.

I believe it's not a big deal for American because both of them have English subtitle. However, I would like to buy one which contains Chinese as well. Universal always does this way because it's much easier for them to just release one version to fit all the custormers around the world.

 

If you guys do want that steelbook, I suggest to preorder now.
The price now is good enough but on one can grarantee how long it can keep. The shipping from UK to US only takes 3 days!! I did buy some Blu-ray from AmazonUK before and I really like it~
Of course you can cancel it anytime you like.

The reason why I preorder now because I learned one lesson from buying "Wanted". It had steelbook before but gone very soon. I had waited for about 2 month but it was still unavailable and the price by owner was fucking high! Finally I changed my mind to purchase the original version with the same price as steelbook tag on AmazonUK.....

 

I think they are gonna provide at least DTS-HD or Dolby-HD on Blu-ray.

 

Is the case supposed to be steel? I'm still not seeing anything still in those links.

Also, of course it'll have either Dolby TrueHD and/or DTS-HD. Almost all Blu-Ray movies have one or both sound formats. However, it's almost always 5.1 for both. I want at least 6.1 if not 7.1. So far I think the only Blu-Rays that are 7.1 are the Star Trek releases, and I have maybe 3 or 4 that are 6.1 out of the 40+ Blu-Rays I own.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'">Good Lookin' Out! As this is one of my all time favs along with Braveheart.</span>

 

Just quick check the Gladiator-720P and the quality is pretty cool.
I mean this film is already 10 years but overall it still reach blu-ray quality!!
Yes, Braveheart is coming as well and I'll report its' qualty soon.

 

Paramount renovates the video and the quality is decent enough. It's hard to believe the flim was about 15 years ago. I think everyone should be greatful for blu-ray generation. Because of it, we are able to watch all the classic movies agian in HD!!
