When will the first Resident Evil be availible on Blu-Ray?

Probably when RE: Extinction hits Blu-Ray.

Soon..

Probably when RE: Extinction hits Blu-Ray.

I would assume so as well. Looking forward to both discs. Going to see RE:E tomorrow night.

If you have a HDDVD player, youll be able to order it in 5 days.

It will be available in Germany on September 27th.

Importing HD-DVDs?

No thanks. I am not interested in becoming a criminal.

RE: Extinction was great. A lot better than I was expecting. They got rid of most of the over the top yea right moments that filled the last one. I already have pt 2 thanks to Fry's, to bad a box set would be nice. I am looking forward to owning all of the Resident Evil releases.

/Grain haiters are going to cringe during a few scenes in RE: Extinction.

Importing Blu-Rays?

No thanks. I am not interested in disrespecting the distribution and intellectual rights of movie studios.

World wide region freedom on HD-DVD is part of the HD-DVD spec and it's legal and fine to import HD-DVD's with out anything wrong other than the higher prices over the domestic pricing. Resident Evil 1 and the extended edition of Resident Evil Apocolypse are coming out for HD-DVD on September 27th in Germany. As for the Blu-ray version of Resident Evil I do not understand why Sony would not release it since they already released the sequel why not the original when the third installment just hit theaters. Must have some plans for a specail edition perhaps when extinction hits bluray in early2008.

Another thing importing titles that are not region encoded does not break any laws since both formats support this. HD-DVD has no regional lockout and Blu Ray has some lock out but the studio's do not treat it the same as with SD-DVD. This is why Newline will relase titles day and date on DVD and BD on the same day why'll the HD versions will be released a bit later. There in a different market as far as rules go when compared to DVD. Theres no intellectual or distribution rights being broken.

*Hides behind my avalanche of hundreds of imported DVDs, BDs, HD DVDs, and books from nearly every country on Earth.*

They'll catch me one day! :p

I would expect it the same day that Extinction is released. That could be the last week of 2007 or early 2008.

Going to see RE:E tomorrow night.

Worst movie I have seen in years. Had nothing to do with the games. Ending was unbearably dumb.

Nothing illegal or criminal about it.

Thanks, I should like it then. I hate the games.

That was one of the many bad things about the movie. ;)

I saw extinction yesterday. I really enjoyed RE:1 and thought RE:2 was a fun mindless action flick. RE:3 was muuuuuuuuuuch better than 2 though, almost as good as 1. Xploited is gonna be getting some business come the 27th (if Tony has them up yet).

I think I just threw up in my mouth...

I thought the 3rd one was down right bad. I liked 1 & 2. Personally the video games had better story lines than the movies.

OH and I want the first one on BD.

LOL!!! I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not.

Who told you importing of original HD's/BD's from other countries to be illegal(bootlegs sure not originals)? LOL!!

and I thought I was paranoid!

I think I just threw up in my mouth...

Swallow and move on. Heaven forbid someone else likes a movie you don't.

Yeah I know. It's just that... it's one of those movies. The one's you just can't stand to even think about. It's.... just... so ... bad. :o

I must be a criminal because I have had Rez Evil in HD on home made HD-DVD for many moons now. Won't ever buy the BD or import the HD-DVD. The movie ain't that good. Not by a longshot.

Extinction was very mediocre....and it looked like garbage in the theater...won't be a great blu-ray by any stretch.

Wow...this is a new one.

j/k

RE:extinction was great, and I can't wait for RE1 to come out on BD. I have it on Superbit DVD right now and would love to add a better reproduction to my collection.

I would suspect as well that they will release RE1 at the same time as RE:E so that they can release a box set of all three (which I'll probably end up buying and giving away my copy of RE:A)

First of all he asked about the Blu-ray, and this is not the hd dvd section.
Secondly, the hd dvd probably has low bit rates and dd 5.1 compared to high bit rates and PCM on the eventual BD.

Not to mention you would pay probably double for an inferior version.

*snort, yes, he did mention an HD DVD in a Blu Ray thread, that's a point for you. However why bash a product that you do not know anything about??? look at the Underworld Evolution HD, it beat out the famed BD version as well as several other imports (including Silent hill and Terminator 2) have been better than their BD counterparts, some not. It all depends on how well the encoding process went. Also, the HD DVD versions of Resident Evil 1 and 2 are both encoded with AVC and use DTS HD and DTS HD MA lossless for the audio :rolleyes: at least get your facts straight before you criticize.


Plus, It's a sad day when a member asks a question about a release title (which is not out and is not slated to be out by anyones knowledge) and another member mentions that if he/she is format neutral they can pick it up in 5 days (now 3 :D, can't wait!!!) if they would like to import so the member doesn't have to wait anymore, and someone comes in to kick them out and insult the said title. If he had mentioned that the HD DVD was coming in 5 days and would kick the BD versions a$$ and that BD sucked anyways I could understand being irritated. But asking if a member is neutral and suggests that he could get it another way shouldn't constitute an attack like you launched. Does that mean we should kick the blu ray supporters who come into the HD DVD forums and mention that we can import the Rock and Con Air if we're neutral???

the movie was ok. You can't go into it expecting more than zombies popping up, action, and a boss.

I dislike the cliffhanger ending though.

Lets not forget about the Tyrant having the ability to speak. I must of missed that part in the games. :rolleyes:

Oh and I love how Alice has the ability to use the Force now. :rolleyes:

Extinction ..looked like garbage in the theater....

I have to agree here. I saw it Friday and was amazed that the film reel had been spliced in several points already and there were numerous spots where the film seemed to have gotten burned by the projector? They only had maybe 2 showing before I got to the theater-WTF?

Probably just the crappy film reel this theater had received, however what was more annoying was the poor picture quality with several scenes flashing by soo fast you couldnt even see what was going on (in the very beginning). The dog scene was kinda tacked on and didnt provide much value. Also there seemed to be a disconnect at the very end 15-20 minutes where they obviously setup the next resident evil: retaliation.

Unfortunately the colors were faded and dull just like both 1 & 2. Too bad.
I have 2 on BD and it was shown on TNT (HD) the night before the premeire, and both have horrible colors.

I have liked all 3 movies and think #1 was the best, followed by #3 standing in the middle of #1 & #2.

At the end of the day I will get all the Resident Evil movies on whatever format.

dear wormraper
i feel your coments ane belittleing it is like me saying boy look at my wii after you said i wish i could have that or look at my iphone after you just said i wish i could get one.

if you are not going to discuss br in this forem plese stay out

Thus the point of them going waaaaay over the top on this one.

Extinction was very mediocre....and it looked like garbage in the theater...won't be a great blu-ray by any stretch.

Looked great in my theater. Can't wait for a trilogy set on BD.
For everyone knocking on Alice's powers, they were already there at the end of 2.

I always thought the first movie looked great, and it looked beautiful on DVD, so much so that I never upgraded to the SB. The 2nd has a darker (low contrast), more washed out look. The third probably has the most natural look of any of them, especially as most of it is outside in the sun-scorched desert, instead of inside undergound or outside at night. Never had a problem with the coloring of any of the films. A lot less distracting than the choices of some directors.

I don't care about them not being close to the game, but they should probably say "inspired by the Capcom game" instead of based, so people wouldn't go so apeshit about it.

I didn't really think it was a cliffhanger ending either. I thought it was wrapped up pretty well, letting you draw a pretty obvious conclusion, but I'm sure they'd like to do another movie if this one makes money.

I was not trying to belittle anyone. Being format neutral finally I have multiple options, like many others here as well. the op did not mention whether or not he was neutral or not. I was responding to a post where Earz attacked another member for giving a suggestion that is completely logical to a format neutral person. I was saying that the tone of the original message relating to the import was not insulting or sneering like "look at what HD DVD has and blu ray doesn't!!!", but rather giving an option being that there is no Resident Evil 1 announced yet for BD yet HD DVD can satisfy the OPs need if he is a format neutral person. Being that I now have a BD player (thank god for open box specials, finally found one) I am here for BD, but being that I am format neutral to say that I have to completely ignore HD DVD if I'm over here is ridiculous.

RE: Extinction was great. A lot better than I was expecting. They got rid of most of the over the top yea right moments that filled the last one.

Sweet! I hear that the camerawork is a lot better than the second one too. I wasn't even going to bother seeing this. But from all accounts it seems to be better than 2.



Hopefully the first one comes out soon on BD.

From *all* accounts? lol. I like how you ignore the negetive comments about it. RE:E was the worst movie I've seen in years. And I'm huge Resident Evil fan.

^^

Some people only see what they want to see.

If I would of seen what I wanted to see, then I would of enjoyed it. Like I said, I'm a HUGE Resident Evil fan. Have been since the first game was announced way back.

Seriously though, most of the stuff they added to the movie doesn't fit with the source material. It's like giving the main character (Ben) in Night of the Living Dead a lightsaber and force powers. Just doesn't mix well.

Keep on topic. RE I.

I for one loved Resident Evil: Extinction! Awesome movie!
