Scarface: Platinum Edition
« on: Jun 22, 2006 at 07:56 PM »
from dvdactive:

Title: Scarface
Starring: Al Pacino
Released: 3rd October 2006
SRP: $29.98

Further Details:
Universal Home Video has sent over early details on a Platinum Edition of the Brian De Palma directed Scarface which stars Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert Loggia. This two-disc package will be available to own from the 3rd October, and should set you back around $29.98. The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 track. Universal has yet to reveal the disc specs I'm afraid, but we'll bring you further details very shortly. As always, stay tuned.

i totally agree with you bro. Oo nga pala sama ng transfer noon. well if that's the case, it'll be an edge for this release if the transfer wil be improved (yun nga lang no DTS track).  ;)

Good looking cover art...didn't get the Anniv. Ed because of the transfer. 8) Will probably get this if transfer is reportedly better. ;D
