Ezekiel 25:17 quote from Pulp Fiction on it since it's Nick Fury/Sam Jackson.

I didn't mean to imply you were criticizing it (which you're not, btw). My only point was you might find something to really like in the film even if you don't fancy seeing any more.Billy Batson said:...but I didn't criticize it did I. I said I'm sure it's very good. I've seen a few superhero films, & really don't fancy seeing any more. Sorry.

Well, I'm getting the 3D release. However, I differ from you because I want the digital copy which is why I won't be buying it from the UK. I like the convenience of watching my HD digital copy by the push of a few buttons on my remote.McCrutchy said:Just wanted to bump this thread because the Blu-ray is out soon.
Unfortunately, not the banner release I was hoping for in the USA.
It looks like Target has at least one extra featurette, which is probably not on the disc (digital acquisition). It doesn't look like this "Behind the Lens" featurette will be available anywhere else, which is annoying. Not coincidentally, shopping for Blu-ray or Blu-ray 3D at Target is like shopping in the Ninth Circle of Hell, so I will be happy to avoid the experience, anyway.
Best Buy has a rather nice looking SteelBook (with 3D and 2D discs) but at $29.99, it is $7 more expensive than the 2D, and I don't know if I would use the 3D disc.
On top of that, the release date in the USA is September 9th.
On the other hand, international regions are getting this a few weeks sooner, including the UK, which is getting their editions on August 18th, and Germany, which is receiving its copies on August 14th. The only concern with German versions is having to enable the English subtitles for the non-English dialogue in the film.
The UK edition, however, is suitably tempting. It doesn't hurt that the 3D combo is only £2 more than the 2D edition. In fact, the 3D version works out to $30 shipped from Amazon.co.uk. An added benefit is no useless digital copy, which is a format I loathe to support.
Also disappointed to see no Marvel One-Shot with this release on any edition.
Still, a good movie, with incredible action, and what should be a great 7.1 DTS-HD MA audio track, plus Robert Redford (and Ms, Augitter, for good measure). Hoping it's even better the second time round.
I believe the UK 3D set is pre-ordered.
Looks like Amazon is doing another Warner negotiation with Disney.David Weicker said:Has there been any explanation on why this isn't available from Amazon?
Yeah, but Amazon's hand is showing, since they have not pulled pre-orders for any of Disney's animated titles. But enough's enough. This bullshit has to stop.Robert Crawford said:Looks like Amazon is doing another Warner negotiation with Disney.
I stopped ordering from Amazon when they started charging me sales tax, and nonsense like this is why I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon. It seems like every time we turn around, Amazon has knocked over some other kid's sand castle. First Hachette, then WB, now Disney, and I'm sure there have been others recently as well. This is the glorious wave of the future for online shopping.Robert Crawford said:Looks like Amazon is doing another Warner negotiation with Disney.
In comparison to what it was, yes.Stephen_J_H said:B&N, yes; Best Buy, not so much. Their physical media selection is rather anemic as of late.
The government collects it's taxes, here in the UK we pay 20% VAT, you got it easy by comparison.McCrutchy said:I stopped ordering from Amazon when they started charging me sales tax,
Yes, but Amazon.com is a special case.FoxyMulder said:The government collects it's taxes, here in the UK we pay 20% VAT, you got it easy by comparison.
Even taking into account 20% VAT the prices on Amazon are very good in the UK and having checked out the USA version i find the prices are not so bad over there either, i also think Amazon's 30 day return period is great and customer service also good.
As for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, filmed in 2D and converted to 2.5D, i'll buy and watch it in 2D.
"6 of 101 people found the following review helpful" - and that's not enough to tell Amazon they should delete it?James_Garner said:What's sad is Amazon will not accept preorders for the "Captain America: Winter Soldier" Blu-ray but they will allow "reviews" like this for the companion "Art of..." Book: http://www.amazon.com/review/R34ZO26LCNZDRR/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=0785184449 . What's sad, I kept complaining about this "Review" (along with other "Reviews" by the same guy) and I received an email stating (I kid you not) "This review does NOT violate Amazon's standards and we will NOT pursue any action regarding this review".
