Essentials from Germany

[Zot!]

Are you sure it's not region blocking? Many smaller sites seem to block things from overseas to minimize their security footprint. I was able to order the Terminator disc from elsewhere in Europe. One of the extras is a 4:3 version....what is the point of this? I would understand an alternate widescreen that removes the matting to reveal the entirety of the exposed image. But introducing a heavily pillarboxed version just to add some minor headroom seems wacky. No matter, I'm just here for the main event of the Cameroned 4K with English Mono + a de-Cameroned BD with English Mono (exclusive here). I won't lie that I will also dip in to listen to Arnold deliver his lines in German.

Terminator can now be pre-ordered at JPC and Amazon. Right now, Amazon is apparently geoblocked for international buyers though.

Thanks Nicholas. Went with jpc because I'm not giving Amazon my business if I can help it. I almost bailed when I saw the $60 total after conversion but then I looked at Orbit charging $60 for Australian steelbooks from Umbrella and figured they'd ask the same for the Capelight ones. The mono track and 35mm scan better be worth it.

They keep hiking up the price of these...it has risen substantially in cost twice now. Maybe that is just the way Capelight operates, like tiered early bird pricing or something. It is the mono track on the un-AI DNRed BD transfer that people are excited about. There is precious little new here, but sadly it seems like the 4K will forever live in the Cameron stable of manipulated upgrades. I bought this too...not sure if any of it is really worth it, but its a longstanding favorite, and this might be the end of the road for this film in terms of physical media.
