I was able to get Outlander from them for $22.86 plus whatever transaction fees my credit card charges me. I recall this being far cheaper than Amazon CA.
Hey, thanks for the heads up. It cost me $40 from amazon.ca because I was impatient and wanted it ASAP. I'll definately check out playusa.com from now on.

Can do Troy. It'll take several days before I can go back and revisit it but I will check them out. Heck, I'm just looking forward to going back and watching it again.

Re: Outlander

Good to hear, Ron.

As for the PSN version, it is shown with black bars on my 16:9 HDTV, so I assumed it was shown with the proper ratio. And the film needed the real estate.

I'm looking forward to the US Blu as well. I'm sure it'll be fairly bare bones, but that is OK.

Re: Outlander

Sure enough, all the extras are (I'm guessing) the correct AR. But, it's no 2.35:1, the black bars are quite small, about half the size of what a normal 2.35:1 film would be on my screen.

Oh, and there are a ton of deleted scenes, some quite long. This film could have been quite a bit longer.

Re: Outlander

I decided to add this to the Netflix queue thinking I'll get it in a couple of days. Yeah, right, the thing has been on "long wait" forever.

Re: Outlander

Get used to that "long wait" if you're renting Blu-ray from Netfilx. I dropped them and went Blockbuster, never looked back. Good luck.

Re: Outlander

That's the thing. I thought I'd be "smart" and put it on Blu-ray because it's still a somewhat new format thereby guaranteeing me a quick mailing. Yeah, nope. Netflix doesn't have it on Blu-ray so I'm stuck with DVD. Oh well. I still have lots of good movies to watch while I wait.

Re: Outlander

After reading this thread and watching the trailer.. I am soo looking forward to this one.

Question: is the one that has the questionable format?
PlayUSA.com : Outlander on Region 1 DVD

If so, has there been an update on which version out there has the correct formatting?

Thanks

Re: Outlander

I finally received the movie and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It was a really good movie. Did it ever hit the big screen? I don't remember seeing a trailer for this anywhere.

Re: Outlander

I saw this film a few nights ago. Not bad; although, when it comes to films with Vikings I still think "The Thirteenth Warrior" is the best I've seen......regardless of its problems.

Re: Outlander

Finally saw this tonight -- thank you Netflix. I really liked it. Great monster movie. I still prefer The 13th Warrior but this should be seen by sci-fi and fantasy movie fans.

It certainly seems like a promising flick, but I can't say I approve of the whole sci-fi space ship element mixed in. Seems like its setting itself up to be some sort of weird Deus Ex Machina with... spaceships pew pew!

The film is basically a fast and loose take on the Beowulf legend. It has Sci-Fi elements at the start but they take a back seat early on. The guy's ship does come in to the movie later on, but the ship is involved only for a brief time and the use it is put to is believable.
