Sign o The TImes - DVD

Anyone have this? and if so which is the best to get as I've heard there is not a decent version out there.

thanks

Canadian version is the best with remastered picture. But - I have Dutch version, it's darker, but it has more "Live" feeling due to it's darker picture. On the remastered version you can clearly see it's "more Paisley Park".

If you look up to the top right-hand side of the page, you'll see the Customn Google search for prince.org

If you enter: sign o the times dvd

you'll get links to when the DVD has been discussed in the past.

For example:

There is only one DVD of the SOTT film to get: http://www.amazon.ca/Prin...632&sr=8-2

The one from the above Canadian Amazon site has been properly cleaned up, is awesome picture-wise, is in 5.1 and the aspect ratio is correct. Other versions are shit.

I don't have the canadian, cuz it's region code 1 (USA), unable to watch in Europe (region code 2 or of course code 0)

the one from Network/ Alliance is the one I consider the best, from amazon.co.uk : (PAL, region 0)

get the DVD here:

Dang. You're missing part of the picture on that 1.33:1(4:3). The theatrical aspect ratio was 1.85:1. Is this Dutch version maybe a similarly non-legit DVD like the Brazilian copy?

If people can get their hands on a region-free player, the Canadian disc is choice.

The dutch one is the chipmunk version. You can hear them sing background on 'beautiful night'.

(As in, the whole dvd is in double speed...)

I think the only legit version is the Canadian, so you're probably right. Luckly, I have the Canadian version downloaded in my pc

I bought the Brazilian version about a week before the Canuk version was released. So I have a still-sealed copy of a DVD with Portuguese text and a Purple Rain era pic on it.

Maybe if I put the word "rare" on the eBay listing I could get a dollar for it.

Of course, a version was also given away for free in the UK with a Sunday newspaper around about this same time (2007) as Prince released Planet Earth with the Mail On Sunday in the same way.

Get the Japanese version, slim case, cool artwork, lovely picture, you cant lose!

It's not ugly! It's just darker! I think it's the same version which was in the theatres.

So let me ask you guys a question???

How does the Brazilian one compare?

That's the one I have and to be honest to me it seems just fine.
