Star Wars: The Complete Saga (Episodes I-VI) [Blu-ray] available to pre-order

[Deleted member 2457]

Should be hearing some details on the blu rays, on May the 4th i believe here:

http://maythe4th.starwars.com/countdown.php

The link is now working i see. Looking at it on there i would have to say, it has got to be just DTS, it would be strange if they did miss out the Master Audio.

 

[Clare Newsome]

wouldn't be strange for them to have missed off the 'HD' element of the news - i've been dealing with the publicity arms of film companies for years, and mistakes/omissions of a technical nature are very common!

Looks like this announcement today is not going down to well with fans: Smile

[Clare Newsome]

Well still no news, and I've had enough of waiting for this evening - will pursue and update you all in the morning.... In the meantime, here's the link for the US boxset artwork: http://www.starwars.com/movies/saga/bluraymay4/index.html

It's a pity we can't turn thoses boxsets around. Smile. All i can see is THX on the side of them, the artwork looks very nice though.

Perhaps if you go round the back of your screen...

Have just heard yesterday's announcement has been postponed until today. Had kind of guessed that, but hey ho... Will update as/when!

I have a magnifying glass on my mouse, and i have been zooming in, and trying some twisting and turning but nothing is working.

 

[Clare Newsome]

Not that it'd be necessarily relevant if you could see the back of the boxes: remember, they are the US versions; we may get something different here in UK....

Ah, just been cheking out the Amazon websites, the artwork is on there now too.

Yep, but still no tech details :~

How hard can it be, people! These are Oscar-winning sound engineers producing this stuff for the movies yet no-one seems to know/care how that's going to translate to disc? Grr......

You're defying parody again, gel...

 

[Deleted member 2457]

Well, blu-ray.com is saying Master Audio on the disc information, but whether that is right or not i have no idea.

Hang on more information from there - but it's unclear whether these 6.1 mixes are matrixed or discrete. What does that mean exactly again?

Thanks

 

[Clare Newsome]

I hope so... Though again, they'll be referring to US edition.

Hmmm, Zavvi are listing each trilogy as being available separately, was this previously known or has it now been confirmed?

Previously known, if you are going to buy from Zavvi i will try and find a voucher for you, there has been a couple kicking around, should get you upto £7.00 off. I will see what i can find for people.

 

[Deleted member 2457]

Okay i found one, not 100% sure it works, but here it is ZTENLTD - should get you 10% off an order, do the £69.99 get for £63.00, same price i have got mine for at present.

Yep, we told you that on January 6th (see story under yesterday's update)

Well, the quest for a definitive answer re the DTS soundtrack certainly is turning into a Complete Saga....

Fox UK are now in talks with Lucasfilm. Will bring you update as/when...

In meantime, we do now have UK packaging pictures.... but just front shots, which look exactly the same as the US ones. Grrr......

 

[professorhat]

Ah, marketing departments. They must have been so proud and excited with their web countdown timer, making the annoucement on the 4th May, their Facebook and Twitter share buttons etc. that they forgot the tiny detail of actually preparing to publicise any kind of useful detail that consumers might want to know. You gotta love them.

 

[Clare Newsome]

Hurrah - an answer!

The UK Star Wars Blu-ray discs will all have English 6.1 Discrete DTS HD MA soundtracks
