Well, it finally seems that Sony is ready to admit its mistake and re-release the title on July 17th, but hopefully they'll do it right this time.

Re: The Fifth Element to be remastered and re-released on BD
Someone commented on there that buyers of the original DVD can get a replacement for cost of shipping. Heresay. Hopefully that's true. Not that I bought it. I'll buy this release when I get a player. Very fun film.

That would be a good thing for Sony to do. One way or the other, if the QC issues have been resolved, I will replace my existing disk. IMHO, this is a must own disk.

Re: The Fifth Element to be remastered and re-released on BD
I always felt the standard was one of the best in my collection. Well, up until the OT Star Wars set came out.
I'll have no problem double dipping here. I'm one of the few people I know of who even likes Tucker's annoying DJ character. He's good because he is annoying. So many didn't get that for some reason!

Re: The Fifth Element to be remastered and re-released on BD
Old news, for those of us who hang out at AVS.
The replacement notion has been tossed around for a long, long time now. Hopefully it will happen.

The reissue was an old rumor to us that hang around th HTF too. But now it looks like the old rumor has turned into new news, with a release timeframe too boot.

The release date was up at AVS earlier this week, Monday actually. You can get the catalog number, UPC, and pre-order date there too if you like.
There may be a lot more bickering there, but it's certainly become a much hotter news spot than HTF as of late. This place has become a bit dull I'm afraid.

Three words. Virtual. Stripper. Avatars. 
Honestly, I prefer it 'boring' here. I go to the AVS Forum to learn about and debug hardware, not to get my software news. Any place that bases PQ solely on eye-candy and considers Bullitt 'brutal' in no place for me. Here we love movies, not technology. So, in the end, I stick with what each place does 'best', IMO. |

Yeah, their 'tier lists' really project the feeling that it's all that matters in a film. VERY frustrating |
