[clonard]

This guy must be really kicking himself to know that the special edition dvd/blu ray is out on november 15th!!!! ha ha!

[dvdmike007]

@clonard If you watch the video I say I already knew about that disc, everyone knew and I didn't care

[martinf74]

Too bad Michael Biehn was rejected, it would have been nice to see him and Bill Paxton in the movie.

[drnegative69]

The film was shot native in 1.78:1 or (16:9) Mike. CinemaScope was extracted for 2D theaters at the cost of some of the image on the top and bottom.

[dvdmike007]

@drnegative69 So that means T2 that was shot 'scope should be only put out in 4:3?

The 2D version was exibited in 2.35:1, this is the 2D version it should be in OAR

[drnegative69]

@dvdmike007 Nah T2 aside, Ill take OAR any day of the week, you can keep the black-bars to yourself ;P Of course some 2D cinemas had 1.78:1 shown on them too. It really depended on what theater screen they had.

[Andrew51287]

just wondering why you didn't wait until Nov to get the ultimate bluray of avatar? It will be in 3d with like a few different versions of the film.

[dvdmike007]

@Andrew51287 I dont have a 3d TV and I wanted the OG cut of the movie in the best quality

[MastrEcko]

Nice unboxing! Can't wait for mine to be delivered.

[Mountaind33w]

when i to saw this at the cinema i saw in the video vlogs that it was year 2154

[RicardoOM88]

Nice video, can you tell me if it has brazilian portuguese or portuguese from portugal subtitles

[raydvd]

Wow the steelbook looks superb m8, i bet the pic quality is one of the best Blu Rays now.

[discjunkietv]

Nice one. It seems there are several countries that will get the steelbook. Sweden will also have one (identical design but no book from what I know) wich will be a Discshop-dot-se exclusive. I've also noticed a Thailand version and a Hong Kong one.

[Mountaind33w]

fack you! i was the chosen one! i was the first one going to unbox the steelbook!

[thedvdupdate]

Awesome steelbook!

[dvd6441]

I am thinking about importing the Minority Report Blu-Ray Steel-book which would be my first import.

[dvdmike007]

@dvd6441 It may be region locked as the US disc was

[cores717]

Very nice steelbook there.

[GhSpecialist]

Awesome steelbook, this looks like it could be one o the best blu rays of the year!

[dvdmike007]

@GhSpecialist I think the 4 disc set at years end will take that title

[Macktube]

Beautiful Steelbook ! That movie in the theaters had the best special effects I've ever seen.

[DVDeMm]

Nice video, Mike. I like that steelbook especially cause it has a proper book! but I can wait for the later release since I'm in now hurry to see the film again hehe.

[dvdmike007]

@DVDeMm The book suprised me! its huge and has an english - Na'vi dictionary

[orionsalem1]

Thanks for unpacking.

[scottyboy292]

Got mine today too! The survival guide is alot better than I thought it would be, was expecting some cheapy B+W thing but its really good. Can't wait to watch the movie in full on blu, watched a few minutes and the pic quality is amazing.

[dvdmike007]

@scottyboy292 I was suprised at how good the book was

[umgill45]

Great video.

Thank you for showing us the packaging.

Looks like HMV packaged it pretty well.

Though the top left of the steelbook does look damaged or maybe its just me.

[dvdmike007]

@umgill45 No, it came thro mint. not a mark on it

[dvdmike007]

The Avatar soundtrack is way to high in the mix, sorry that it drowns me out at times!

[smcauley600]

mike how did you get that so early amazon said ill get mine to tuesday

[dvdmike007]

@smcauley600 I ordered it months back, as soom as the pre-orders started.

HMV always ship so you get it for release

[jwbbud]

Thanks Mike

[Accostation]

Excellent video, thanks mate. I'm still waiting to receive this so I'm glad to see it looks so good. One thing I was hoping you could confirm is that the actual UK blu-ray is a port of the US blu-ray: same high bitrate video encode, FBI warning before the movie, etc? Cheers.

[dvdmike007]

@Accostation No FBI logo but the picture is stunning, no extras so I am guessing its the same encode with new audio options

[dvdmike007]

Video quality will improve soon esp. when the 720p version is uploaded
