Dadrian Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I also LOVE the original Universal tag at the end of each episode. It's a really nice touch of nostalgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James Posted July 21, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I think mine (Fabulous Films version) ends just after the Michael Mann tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the video quality wouldn't be better but I expected better menus and at least an episode summary like the DVD release had. There really isn't a lot of value in this set unless you want fewer discs and have blu-ray players everywhere you intend to watch. I would have stuck with DVD but I was missing a couple of discs, hence the Blu-ray set buy. It depends on the quality of your equipment and the size of your screen, and crucially, how all that is set up. Rather than say the same thing I've said a couple of times about that here in the problems thread, I may as well link to this post as it might be useful for you to get more value from the Blu-rays; 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the FNAC listing, it seems they probably mean the stereo French audio. So it seems the only edition offering English stereo is the US versions. The UK and now FR just doing English 5.1 However, good on Elephant for stating they have sorted the 5.1 errors, hope they have. And also doing new extras and full French subtitling, seems like it's been treated with more respect than any other Blu-ray version yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpaul1 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 i'm pretty sure i read new original audio. but sadly i have no time to check right now. maybe later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it's the original English stereo, that has me much more interested in this. Does anyone have Facebook to ask them about it (I don't)?

jpaul1 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 guy asking on FB: - 3 fois le prix de la version Blu-Ray US... Est-ce que les problèmes de son, de la VO, apparaissent également sur les Blu-Rays de ce coffret.? translation: 3x US Blu-ray version price? Do the original version sound problems appear on the Blu-rays of that pack too.? ElephantFilms (talking of the Fnac edition): - Non, nous avons réglé tous les soucis lié à la 5.1, retrouvé les versions stéréo, réalisé intégralement un sous-titrage VF, sans oublié la VF et réalisé des bonus exclusifs pour cette édition (dont une interview de Michael Mann sur la série). Il nous est impossible au vu des coûts de production de baisser le prix si nous voulons offrir une édition aussi qualitatif. Il ne faut pas non plus oublier que la cible est beaucoup plus importantes aux USA qu'en France... translation: No, we fixed all the 5.1 issues. found back the stereo versions, made a full french subtitle, without forgetting the french version and made exclusive bonuses for that version (including a Michael Mann interview about the series). It's impossible for us to lower the price if we want to provide a version of such quality. One shouldn't forget neither, that the target is much more important in the USA, than in France...

bodie Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yes, but the FNAC product spec is; Langue 1 anglais 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio Langue 2 français 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio So as I say, if anyone is on Facebook and can ask them for clarification, that would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to know that English stereo is there too.

bodie Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 For those who are not French speakers, the big booklet will of course be in French so maybe wait for the non-exclusive version which they say will be on amazon.fr. That will be the same discs, but not the book and not the big box 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissTubbs Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I hope they dont have the black crush as did the UK Blu Rays. UK Company mastered it in the wrong color Space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK Company mastered it in the wrong color Space. It wasn't that. They just enhanced the contrast and colours too much. But the US release was too little and had an old faded look to it. In my opinion the UK one is improved in some scenes, but other scenes I agree that it's too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leigh Burne Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 It annoys me no end that they botched the Blu-rays like they did, because I doubt we'll ever see them done again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
