Not really liking that, honestly.

That's not how it looks on my TV or laptop. Here's the same frame (or close to it) from my laptop. Click on the images to view the difference (oddly the smaller image looks the same until you zoom in). The one with the black bars is from my laptop.
As for the "cut" of the widescreen, you and I both know the widescreen version is BS and that the proper way to view all of image is with the full size version.

Thanks, man. That really helps. The screenshots that were used in the comparison must have been early unfinished versions that Shout! Factory used as placeholders before they fully completed their transfer or something. I'll let the guy who did the comparisons know that the final product isn't nearly as dark as those he believed.Seibertron wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Saw these comparisons between screencaps of the UK Blu-Ray and screencaps of the Shout!

This is great value, as usually domestic Blmueray/DVD/CD prices are through the roof like, 60 dollars for the Japanese version of the same product).
I hope the blueray is all region and that the digital copy is DRM-free. If not, will consult my good friend google about remedying it... I have pre-ordered it anyway, but this is the last time I'm buying this, even if the aliens fro Men and Black give us a new media in a few years. No more "White Albums" again for me!

S!F Blu rays I have purchased are region A only. Fortunately Japan & North America share the same region, so you should be ok. --I only know this because on other forums I have communicated with folks form the UK, and they could not play S!F Blu Rays, unless they got some "work around" such as a region free blu ray player or specialized computer software that would serve the same purpose.

The menu screen for the Blu-ray version of the movie shows off Optimus Prime and Hot Rod, with Optimus showing off the matrix and all its glowing energy. It also has the Decepticons and Unicron in various positions in the background. But the most interesting thing happens when one goes to the Bonus Features screen, which features 3 brand new features: 'Til All Are One, a retrospective documentary with the cast; Transformers: The Restoration; and Rolling out the New Cover.




Yesterday's Twincast/Podcast #155 also got a hand in checking out the new features, so feel free to head on over and download the Podcast to listen to some of the staff's thoughts on the new release of the movie.
This new version of the classic 1986 movie is set to be released tomorrow, September 13, so head on over to the below links to get your copy of this milestone movie!

I guess Amazon doesn't think the movie is "cool enough" to offer release date shipping like they do for other things?

The Japanese cover is also a huge bonus to me. That cover is beautiful.

I ask because the Walking Dead season 6 DVD doesn't have the unedited Megan scene so I was wondering if something similar would occur with this.
Thank you for any and all help!

Hell, even just colouring one of the two Frenzys as Rumble (you know which shot I mean) would be enough to make it the best version, in my eyes.

Not aware of any differences between the two special feature wise - this is based on the info from Shout Factory's websiteBlackCharger wrote:Will the Blueray and Steelbook Blueray have features that the DVD version will not have or will they all have the same features on all of the versions?

I emailed them several times today because I wanted to know what was going on. The pre-order DID have day of release delivery, that's what all their movies and CDs offer. They did explain how things are shipped and I did get a free month of Prime.
