A reply I received from Turbine media.

“If they can play region B Blu-rays or can be switched (like our Oppo) then yes. Also please consult the info above: the film is region coded, the bonus disc is not”

So if that’s the case, the Blu Ray movie will work in Europe, Africa, Middle East and Australaisa and the bonus disc with doco etc will work everywhere.

But it’s bog clear what features are on what disc.

Thank you!! Already have the film, so hoping to be able to view the documentary piece. Not too worried, because I know some of my “connections” will deliver the goods

Thing I’m unclear on though is that it seems that the set is 4 discs, two Blu Ray and two DVDs so what’s on what disc is anyone’s guess. The DVD region is not the same in Europe as it is in Australia but presumably they are region free. Very confusing.

Sweet jebus, how about thinking for two seconds before posting? It's obvious that the DVDs will be dupes of the BD contents, except in DVD quality.

$85 Canadian, plus shipping. Damn... that's pretty pricey for a documentary and a movie I can't watch. Torrent it shall be!

Well, now, this is indeed interesting!!!

I'm not.
It looks great tho.
Guess I'll be selling the Canadian DVD and my Japanese Bluray set and probably this one too in a while after a superdeluxe edition arrives from The Estate
Who would have thought that after years of buying really bad releases in the 80's and 90's of this movie we'd get a slew of reaaly great releases.
The 2K remeaster I saw 2 years ago in the theater was amazing so I hope this one is at least as good as that was.

.

The Estate has nothing to do with this release. And I guess opinions vary whether that's a good thing or a bad thing...

I know, that's why I said that the Estate probably will release a superdeluxe edition after a while (or loooong after this German release)
Hopefully, if they ever do a release like this, they will team up and combine all the footage from this German release with outtakes/altenate takes and original footage of the shows in Rotterdam and Antwerpen. I can only hope.

Bwahahahahaha.

And of course some people online are offended that most/all of the interviewees are white. To which Calum replied that they'd contacted all band members, but the only(!) Black person who replied demanded an absurd amount of money. Which didn't stop those online critics of course.

Was also posted here today:

http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/news/prince-sign-o-the-times-1987-concert-film-reissued-as-4-disc-deluxe/

Some of the comments suggest the release will be sold out already before release day, as the release will be very limited. I placed my order @ jpc.de and they have a 1 item per customer policy for this release, which is quite unusual.

Thanks bart for the update!!

too bad it region locked.

Im so tempted to look up a region free blue ray player. but this thing might sell out quick

I am excited about the Doc but I am super pumped about the Dolby Atmos audio!!

.

Do we have peoper dolby atmos decoders?

Do we have a proper multi speaker setup?

Please let them do proper stereo first.

This will cover the most setups and has the least calibration issues.

I do want this but whilst I'm sure the vinyl sleeve-size presentation is nice enough I would rather have an option to buy it in standard amaray cases or similar packaging.

the fact that Prince is a black man, and during that time most of his band is black and no black people are included in the film at all is an issue and the only people that seem to think it isn't are...you guessed it, white fans. that's part of the issue now. on top of the fact that the response from the director after being asked a legit question was disgusting. they also interviewed fans/podcasters but none of them are black either so yes...it is an issue.

and is this dvd being sold? if so then asking for money when being interviewed is not a wild idea. and i find it hard to believe that only the black people asked for money. that's bullshit

They asked everyone, and the only one to reply asked an absurd amount of money. AS I HAVE ALREADY POSTED BEFORE.

.

Blame the people who didn't reply and the one who asked for an absurd amount of money.

.

Ah yes, him stating the facts was insulting.

No, that's not what he said. Look at you making up lies to avoid admitting the truth.
