American Universal-Titles coming to Blu-ray in Germany

Not interested in either title but great to hear that more Universal movies are coming out on Blu-ray somewhere. Hopefully there will be many more to follow as Uni has a terrific library I'd love to own on BD.

and um... there goes that "i'll just import the blu-ray exclusive titles i want" arguement.

is all of europe region A? i'd guess russia might be different but how about all of western europe?

Region A does not include Europe... unless they are being released region A/B/C as in region free.

12 Monkeys, unless the distributor remastered the title for Universal, looks pretty funky on HD-DVD.

A shame because I'd want that title! Plus the awesome documentary that went with it.

Is it DTS Master Audio lossless or just DTS HD lossy?

Doesn't Disney distribute many Universal titles in Japan (also Region A)? Perhaps I may have to check out a few must have Japanese releases. Disney does PCM.

Just to clear things up, these aren't Universal titles in Germany. Other titles, distributed by Universal in the US, have been released on BD by local distributors

I don't care who distributes them, Universal movies on BD is great news!

if region free.

to be fair to 12 monkeys it was no pq better in the theater.

Tis true though I'm confident region hacks will be forthcoming for at least some BD players, including the PS3.

1) Anyone seen "Serenity" on BD anywhere??

2) I suspect the region issue will be a non-issue for you on these discs... I think....

My understanding is the Region issue for BDs is only an issue for US releases.
