Sin City Pushed Back To 2009 (1 Viewer)

Thivanka R. Perera · Aug 15, 2008

Sigh. The rumors were false. It's not an October release. They've pushed it back to 2009 according to digitalbits. But Braveheart is slated for next year though.

I sold off my SD waiting for this. Oh well. Hope its worth the wait.

Braveheart? AWESOME!!!

JayDerek · Aug 15, 2008

my wallet is happy this got pushed back. September and October will be killer enough...

Paul Arnette · Aug 15, 2008

That's exactly what I was coming in here to say. :laugh:

RickER · Aug 15, 2008

I wonder if From Dusk til Dawn is still getting an Oct release? Sin City and it had the same release date.

Jim_K · Aug 16, 2008

I didn't know Sin City was announced. I've only been out of town for 3 days and it gets announced, then delayed while I'm gone. :laugh:

I guess that saves me from a disappointment.

Now what's this about Braveheart?

"Sin City" was just released this week on Blu-ray in Canada.

brap · Oct 22, 2008

It's true. To my suprise, I saw it at FutureShop yesterday. I didn't bother picking it up though. Barebones with no HD audio (DTS and DD 5.1 only). I figured there will eventually be a decent doubledip when the sequel is finally done.
Canada has always had crappy luck when it came to Sin City. The first DVD was barebones with DTS as everywhere else, but the Special Edition had the DTS removed for the French language track. Extras and good sound in one is never to be found.

CraigF · Oct 22, 2008

^ Me too, saw it in several stores. But no lossless, so no purchase (for me).

Rolando · Oct 22, 2008

WHAT??? Are you kidding me? no lossless? what genuises are responsible for this?
had to pass on the SE due to DTS cut out, was SOOO looking forward to the HD release and now... this.
it's a disgrace...

Edit: $19.99? for a new release... must resist... barebones... no Lossless audio... no recut version... still so tempting...

Gekkou · Oct 22, 2008

Over on AVS some members picked it up and confirmed that there was a misprint on the box and that the "DTS" is in fact DTS-HD Master Audio.

Eric F · Oct 22, 2008

You can pick it up over at Amazon.ca for $19.99CA but the shipping is where they get you. It's $7.99 per shipment to the US + $1.99 per item. Since the $CA is about .90 to the $US residents do OK, but IMO I don't think it's worth it.

CraigF · Oct 22, 2008

^ Each CDN$ only costs US$0.80 today! (if you're desperate) They soak us for the shipping coming cross-border this way too. I highly doubt you can find enough at amazon.ca price-wise to make buying BDs there worthwhile. I have enough trouble even with "free" shipping.

CraigF · Oct 22, 2008

Thanks for that info! The old "Canadian misprint" trick eh? Surprising how often that happens. Ummm...it was The Perfect Storm BD not long ago IIRC. Anyway, DTS-HD MA would be my top choice, so that's nice.

Craig Beam · Oct 22, 2008

Okay, so via Amazon.ca it's $16.63 in US dollars. Expedited International Shipping (4-7 business days) is $9.13, for a grand total of $25.76. I find that perfectly reasonable for a highly-desirable (albeit barebones) title on Blu-ray... especially one that I can't get here in the States until next year. Sold!

CraigF · Oct 22, 2008

^ Yeah, there are a few deals. Like "300" would only be about US$14 at amazon.ca, vs US$21 at .com now (I know it's been cheaper there). Not many though. Something you can't get in the U.S. but can in Canada is kinda unique at this stage of BD.

Rolando · Oct 22, 2008

hold the phone! Did you say Sin City on BD has DTS MA... for sure?
If so it is SO SOLD!
any word on dusk 'till dawn?

Gekkou · Oct 23, 2008

I don't own either disc, but folks on AVS who do have them have confirmed that both have DTS-HD MA.

Loregnum · Oct 23, 2008

Yes it is confirmed by multiple owners. From Dusk Till Dawn also has DTS-MA.

I have my copies here at work and plan to check them out tonight.
