The Marvel Cinematic Universe is just the beginning - talk Marvel on the big screen, small screen and everything in between. DC Cinematic Universe and independent comic creations are welcome, too - The Walking Dead, Preacher, etc.

X2 on DVD November 25!

Post by Maelstrom »

I only do DVDs anymore. I like the idea of a compact, permanent, nearly-unbreakable, impossible-to-wear-out, won't-disitegrate-in-heat copy of a movie. Also, DVDs have all those neat extra features on them :love:love

*sigh* I love extra features...:love:love

You do know about layer rot, right? And 20th Century Fox DVDs are renowned for layer rot.

And their laser discs too! The Star Wars Definitive Collection. $250.00 set started to rot. Thank God I sold it . The owner knew about it. He pointed it out to me.

"Layer Rot"? Ho-boy...:( No, I've never even heard of it. Is it akin to DVDs as nitrogen decomposition is to old nitrate films? What do I have to look out for, and is it possible to avoid? :?

...Do you mean X2, coming out...on... October 22?!

...I just hope you're right.... :P Perhaps it comes out later/sooner in Canada than it does in the US? ....And that's why we have conflicting dates?

No, sadly, it's rather offcial that it's in November.

But, hey, think about it; putting extra time into making the movies into DVDs and videos is just like spending extra time making a movie. It gives you waaay more time to put in the good stuff.

Like more Nighty. :D

Region 2 covers Europe and it is set to be released on September 17

I dont know about Region 3

Region 4 covers Australia but I don't have any idea when it will be released there

Japanese Version is or already has been released on September 12

Layer rot? I thought dvd's would last a lifetime. (Barring, of course, scratching them or stepping on one with a high heel pump, as I discovered to my dismay.)

I just looked this up on Lycos. It's from an Australian article, I think. That might explain why Nandireya knew about it so fast.

It's rather chilling, and there doesn't seem to be any particular way to stop or predict it. I'm just glad that I don't buy too many things from 20th Century Fox. Just my luck, however, that they're the ones who put out X2.... :(

*EDIT*

I also found this article, which is particularly informative. Check it out....

Those articles were interesting. I've had three separate dvd's with the problems described that I rented from the store. I had just thought that they had scratches or a slight warp that I couldn't see. Hopefully the X2 dvd won't be affected. I've waited too long for it already.

Woah... All the stuff about the DVD rot is... scary... I just hope it doesn't happen to the X2 DVDs! ...Or, at least, not mine. :eek

Oh, and I've watched the Whitehouse scene on that site about... ten times, now... It'll just about tide me over 'till I get the real thing... hopefully. :D
