So it doesn't even have the special features from the collector's edition DVD from a few years ago?

 

[rayman1701]

Looking at the picture on the back of the Amazon listing, it does have special features. Although I'm not sure if they are the same as the DVD, as I don't have that one.

 

[Ronald Epstein]

Ray,


Can you send me a link to that Amazon listing?

My search comes up with no artwork and a note to sign

up for when it becomes available.

I would like to make a preorder link available to members here.


Thanks

 

[rayman1701]

No Problem, PM Sent.

 

[Matt Hough]

I've had the HD-DVD for a couple of years. I'll be reading reviews of this with great interest to see if I need to add this marvel in Blu-ray to my collection.

 

[MattAlbie60]

Oh, I didn't realize that the three part documentary was called "The Art of the Sting." Yeah, it's got the main feature from the old special edition. I'd have liked to have seen some new stuff, but I understand I guess why there wouldn't be anything. So long as the reviews are good, day one purchase for me.

 

[Peter Neski]

another bad universal cover

 

[oscar_merkx]

A truly outstanding film. Day 1 as well

 

[David Weicker]

There seem to be two versions - a Digibook and a Standard case. The link is only for the Digibook. Can you put a link up for the other one as well. I hate Digibooks, and I see that the other one is about half the price. David

 

[Ronald Epstein]

David,


You are correct. Here is the cover art for the standard case:





If you have seen this available for $10 less let me know

where. On Amazon, it is listed as not being available yet,

but sometimes you really have to dig on that site to find

additional listings.

 

[Steve Tannehill]

That's the original poster art!

 

[David Weicker]

David, You are correct. Here is the cover art for the standard case: If you have seen this available for $10 less let me know where.  On Amazon, it is listed as not being available yet, but sometimes you really have to dig on that site to find additional listings.

Amazon doesn't have the art up yet, but they do have a listing for $13.99 http://www.amazon.com/The-Sting-Blu-ray/dp/B007N31ZLA/ref=sr_1_14?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1332627866&sr=1-14 David (I just wish they had done two versions of Buck Privates, as well)

 

[Ronald Epstein]

David,


Thank you so much. I updated the announcement with the standard Blu-ray release

and Amazon link.

Is this a region-free release? It's anybody's guess when they'll get round to releasing it here in the UK. Thanks.
