Toronto Verrry interesting...(DVD stuff)

I found this today on Darkhorizons.com:

Star Wars: Episode II (DVD): Episode X reports that the upcoming disc version includes a slightly extended cut of the film. The changes are only minor including a bit where Padme groans on the ground after falling off the Gunship, and an extension of the Anakin confession scene at the Lars farm: "At the point where the scene usually cuts, we instead get a longer glimpse of Padmé still standing there, hanging on a balance point between her love for Anakin and his evil deed he has just confessed to her. Seemingly making up her mind, we witness how Padmé sympathetically tries to soothe Anakin. Kneeling down, she tells him that "to be angry is to be human". To a new musical cue of Palpatine's theme swelling in the background, Anakin replies 'I'm a Jedi. I know I'm better than this'". Thanks to 'Tai'.

And if that's not enough for you, here's more:

Just a little over 2 months to go...

"Gooooooooooooooood....."

 

How much would the DVD cost when it comes out in Canada?

 

It should be the same as TPM: Approx $27.99 at most stores.

 

Any know where the cheapest place to buy DVD?

Looking for DVD's are we?

Well, other than the creepy guy in the trenchcoat, I find Futureshop often has the best prices, and they'll match any other advertised price. Otherwise I go to a little shop called DVDwave in Richmond hill (or Markham - hell, it's all Toronto!)

They have good prices with a frequent buyer plan

 

Another place, albeit their selection isn't as broad as Pro-DVD stores is Walmart.

Laugh all you want, but the NAME titles are there on time, plentiful, and much lower in prices.

Good examples especially in boxed sets.

 

Ken...you just WANT trouble...don't you!!!

 

How about Costco? I know they are great for books. And they are often even cheaper than the lost leader price for new CD's that Future Schlop offers.

 

I've seen a video clip of the scene where padme falls out of the gunship. When the trooper asks: "Are you alright?" Padme now says, with a bit of pain to her voice: "uh-uh." Previously, it was just "yes".

 

I knew Kat was going to say something.

 

The thing you have to be careful about with WalMart is they don't have much of your precious widescreen product. But WM, Costco, and Future Shop usually do have the lowest prices. Not that I can shop at any of those because I live downtown...

In my experience, Future Shop and Blockbuster normally have the best giveaway items (generally for pre-sell campaigns). WalMart doesn't do those - they spend their funds lowering the price of the product.

 

Speaking of giveaways - for the upcoming Monsters Inc and Beauty and the Beast releases, the Disney store has lithograph sets for both, free if you preorder the DVD in the store (got MI for $21 - so it aint bad!)

It's 4 11x14 prints in a glossy folder with cut out doors - very nice!

Oh yeah - Hey Kat -

 

Bronf, how could I NOT?!

And don't you "Hey Kat" me, Wall Boy...

 

hmm..I may actually buy something from the Disney store...although Futureshops's promo of "an official fun-grip tumbler FREE!" Does sound tempting.

Any word on whether or not the SFX-only track will be on the Canadian release of Monsters, Inc?

 

Adam, I've got the trade ad, and I don't see anything about an SFX only track, but I don't think that Disney usually does a separate DVD for Canada. What exactly is it because they've got a lot of stuff listed on here (it's 2 disks)?

 

sorry, I meant a sound FX track, not SFX. My stupidity.

There was suppose to be a sound effects only track on disc one. I'm pretty sure it is being released on the US version and has been taken out in the Canadian release because of an added french language track.

Most companies seem to only be releasing bilingual packaged DVDs in Canada. Almost every case nowadays has both English and French, so, there may now be a separate Canadian release vs. a US/English Canada and French Canada releases.

I'm getting this from a discussion at thehometheatre forum, so I really don't know the validity of it. The specs listing I have seen haven't listed a sound FX track for Canada.

 

Well I hope we can get the US version here... I'm from Montreal and I don't really care about the French-Canadian version...

 

Usually it's just the packaging that's different on the French version, not the actual disk itself.

The info in Disney's ad says:

- commentary (director, co-director, exec producers, screenwriter)
- two shorts
- outtakes
- The Monster World: Monsters, Inc orientation (company handbook with bios)
- Monsters Inc TV treats
- Boo's Door Game
- Storytime - Welcome to Monstropolis
- Music feature
- Behind the screams - on the job with Mike & Sulley
- Behind the scenes Pixar tour

Can you tell I'm a Pixar fan?

Oh, and Hey Kat!

I'll 'wall boy' you! Sorry girl, but you live in the Big TO now (newsflash, Markham Mayor moves to Toronto "I here it's nice there, and I expect to have really nice neighbours" she says)

 

Any one know how much does lotr DVD extension version is going to cost in Canada?
