Pohjoismaalainen julkaisu on vissiin myös tulossa tänä vuonna: http://www.kvarnvideo.se/se/art/blu-ray-genre/action-2/scarface-blu-ray.php Saa nähdä paljonko aikovat pulittaa tuosta UK Steelbookista.
Vois kyllä kuvitella, että tuo julkaistaan joka paikassa samaan aikaan. On minusta meinaan rinnastettavissa Blade Runner kaltaiseen julkaisuun.
Poikkeuksellisesti vois jopa harkita tuota sikaarilaatikkoa. En ole sortunu muitten osalta tollaisiin spessuihin, mutta katotaan.
Jotenkin...tavanomainen tuo steelbookin artworkki. Liekö lopullinen? Toisaalta, ehkä pinta ei anna ihan toteuttaa kaikkea mahdollista. Sen sijaan tuo sikariboxi on mainio, vaikka ei siinä mitään erikoista sinänsä olekaan.
Muutama kuvankaappaus US-versiosta ja valokuvia kotelosta. http://www.highdefdiscnews.com/?p=66252#more-66252
Onkos tuo jenkkisikariboxi hieman erilainen? Kotelon väritys kuvanmukaisesti valkoinen. "Puinen" UK-boxi IMO nätempi Tosin tuo jenkki tulee olemaan hitusen arvokkaampi ...
Jos halvalla tämän Scarfacen tulevaisuudessa haluaa yhdessä Casinon, Public Enemies ja American Gangster kanssa boksissa niin: Ultimate Gangster Selection voi olla viisas ostos. Ilmestynee myös muualla EU:ssa kuin vain Saksassa.
Kannattaa nyt vaan ostaa se levy ja tehdä ne omat johtopäätökset. Niin ainakin itte teen. Kyllä noilla arvostelijoilla on nykyjään jokaisella, niin oma näkemys joka asiasta.
Okei. DNR on vissiin päässy levyyn jonkin verran. Pelkäsin sitä itekkin, kun tuota traileria tuli katottua. http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/492...ews+(High+Def+Digest:+All+High-Def+Disc+News)
Mites muuten nuo extrat verrattuna Universalin SE-julkaisuun? Näyttäis ainakin Def Jamin hip-hop klassikon synty -dokkari puuttuvan?
Onko tuosta tulossa sitä steelbookkia tänne Suomeen ollenkaan? Itse tilasin Gigantista ennakon. Varmaan tulee muovikansissa, mutta olihan tuo nyt sitten vähän halvempi tai jotain.
No oma eilen tulemaan lähtenyt Steelbook-versio maksoi TheHutista tilattuna 18.3 euroa. Näköjään siis 40 senttiä tulee säästöä, jos ostaa tavisversion Gigantista.
