I was surprised to see the blu of Out of Africa today for only $19.99 at a local FYE store (TransWorld Entertainment).

Hmmm. I didn't realize there was a Blu of OoA which had been released in June 2011. That must be what I saw. It can be picked up on Amazon right now for $11.xx or $12.xx.

Mike, this is the original "DNRed to death" Blu-ray.

Do we know, Doug, if the new release is a different transfer?


This is not a title I pay a lot of attention to.

 

[dpippel]

I don't know Mike. I remember reading something about a "corrected" release coming up, but whether or not this is it is unknown to me. Maybe someone else with better info will chime in.

In this post RAH references a replacement for the previous.

March - Out of Africa (a replacement for the poor quality first release). In honor of their 100th Universal should actually do a swap on this title for all those who purchased it on Blu-ray presuming a quality release.

 

[Citizen87645]

Even better, RAH's evaluation of the actual release.

 

[dpippel]

Thanks Cameron. Glad to see that the new transfer has received the RAH "Seal of Approval", but it's still going to have to drop well below $35 before I bite. Universal should also be giving customers who purchased the horrendous previous release an even swap instead of charging them $20 to "upgrade" as far as I'm concerned.

Got the BB exclusive of Game of Thrones yesterday and finished watching it tonight. Wow, what a series! For those who have yet to watch this, please take the rating seriously. Also picked up the Immortals 3D, The Town BB exclusive and To Catch A Thief BRs. Thanks for the RU this week Mike!
