Nah - I've had mine for a week. No box or artwork, though, so you'll have a slight advantage.peerpee wrote:Mine too, David. Probably gonna beat ya!
I haven't had a chance to watch it in full yet (I can only watch Blu-rays on the main family telly, and I haven't had a clear two-hour-plus run at it yet), but a casual browse suggests it's truly eye-popping. You can certainly see where the money went.
The big disappointment, though, is that the extras are all 576p SD PAL - including the short The Red Shoes Ballet. Who on earth is going to favour that over the 1080p version? Other niggles: there's nothing on the restoration (though a big feature in the current Sight & Sound compensates in part), and the chaptering is a bit on the stingy side - you can't jump to the beginning of the ballet proper, for instance, which is pretty unforgivable. The extras on my now ancient Criterion disc are far superior.
But none of that should detract from the quality of the main feature, and on that score it seems well worth the money.
