Author Topic: BLADE RUNNER BD blowout Claude S.

I was very surprised to see tons of them at Costco early this afternoon for just $12.95 and a lot less than the private sellers are asking at Amazon. . They also had the single disc edition of GONE WITH THE WIND and the two dsc set of THE WIZARD OF OZ as well as the director's cut of WATCHMAN for the same price. I was not into Blu-Ray at the time and remember paying an ' Arm & a Leg' for the same collection of the BLADE RUNNER movies on DVD that came with a cheap attache case. Because I was happy with the DVDs, I never bothered to double dip and buy the BD set of TBR but at $12.95, how can I resist. I guess with BD player prices going down, I see the same thing happening to the software prices and that is very good. -Claude  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-23-2010 06:53 PM                        I have that 5 disc collection and I got it for maybe $15 a couple of years ago at Target. I still have only ever watched the first disc. I have never seen one with narration.  |  IP: Logged Claude S.

I had another opportunity to see the film in 70mm here in Honolulu at the Cinerama Theatre shortly before they closed and by that time, I have come to appreciate the film and it is one of my favorite movies now. Like you, I only watched the first disc in the DVD collection but I think I will check out the other versions of the movie sometime this weekend. I am very happy I had the opportunity to get the movies on Blu-Ray because of the five star ratings for picture and sound quality as well as the film itself from several Blu-Ray critics. -Claude  |  IP: Logged
