Superman: The Ultimate Collection/Christopher Reeve Collection/Donner Cut

[DVD_Freak]

$100 online excluding shipping for 16 discs is a great bargain.    Very tempting to get.

Nakakapanghinayang lang.  With the inevitablity of DVDs becoming junk in 3 years, accdg to some early HD adopters.     Though maybe not that soon here.

But no doubt the contents should be timeless in themselves.

Technology is always evolving even as we speak.  If you always worry about newer models on the horizon, then you'll never enjoy what we have today.

This is a great set sir av-phile1.  It's going to be a classic collector's item someday.  So go get it.  HD will not catch on here in the philippines til my conservative guess at the earliest of 5years.  Unless of course you have the moolah to splurge.

Ako I'm sure to get it.  I'm just waiting right now for the official details of the R3 version coz it would probably only cost half the price of a R1.  But if the contents & packaging are not worth it...I'd get the R1.

Well, I don't worry about that always....Only now.

Can't wait

Superman II: Donner Cut in HD DVD

[allanmandy]

What's the deal with that "For Use Only With HD-DVD Players" sticker? I haven't seen that in other HD-DVD titles. Would the disc explode if inserted in a regular DVD player?

hmmm, i believe intended for the guy who browses video stores and who might have no idea what HD DVD is...but why is it on the case....of the HD titles that I have, that sticker is usually stuck on the plastic seal...

[Munskie]

this is the closest I can get now of a Superman collection:



they'll be milking you with single releases first then boxsets to follow next....

OT:
For those Richard Donner fans, he's co-writing Superman comics with Geoff Johns starting with Action Comics #844 and its out this week. 

Here's a preview: http://www.newsarama.com/dcnew/Action/844/844Preview.html

[RNIverson]

Those of you who have pre-ordered copies of Warner Home Video's forthcoming Superman: Ultimate Collector's Edition might want to think twice. Due to a massive technical blunder, the Superman III: Deluxe Edition discs contain the original 2001 release of the film, rather than the advertised disc with commentary, additional scenes and a vintage featurette.

Reports indicate that The Christopher Reeve Superman Collection and the individual release of Superman III: Deluxe Edition are unaffected. At this time there has been no word on whether or not Warner intend to issue replacement discs. Even if replacement discs are made available, non-US residents who purchased the set will most likely be left out in the cold. When you combine this with the fact that the advertised original 1978 Dolby Stereo soundtrack for Superman: The Movie is also missing, what could have been the year's best release becomes a less than attractive proposition...

[Mr. Hankey]

Thank God I decided I could do without Bryan Singer's Video Diary and cancelled my Amazon pre-order of this title! 

This is a big nightmare for Warner, especially since Superman Returns didn't even come close to breaking even, and they needed the revenues from this set to make up for that misfire in this expensive film franchise they just resurrected.

[DVD_Freak]

Now that's kinda stupid for a big studio like Warner!

Now that would be a terrible nightmare!!!

Not only Warner but amazon as well.  I can only imagine how Amazon will deal with their international customers!!!  Maraming aangal.  It will cost them coz as far as I'm concerned, Amazon does not require their patrons to actually return defective DVDs!!!!!!

 

[techdude]

Instead of making a killing out of this much anticipated DVD, Warner will lose money on it...  what will all that mailings of replacement DVDs.   Whatever charges Amazon incurred will have to reimbursed by Warner, since it's their fault...  Actually, mabilis pa nga sa Amazon (for Warner) since all they need to do is ship an extra disc to all buyers of the set... so ship cost lang ang talo (DVD cost next to nothing).

But since hindi pa released ito sa R1 (except online buyers), they could just hold the release (for brick-and-mortar stores), and bundle an extra disc with it... so you get 15-discs... 

But this could be boon for the local Warner distributors.

[RNIverson]

did we also have the same issue with r3? 

[duncanfranchise]

I just checked my copy from the R3 Ultimate Collector's Edition with the original release.  My copies have different contents.   I think we're in the clear.
