Release date for AOE Blu-ray and DVD

[DELTAprime]

Well Paramount has put out a press release confirming what we already knew about the US release. It's coming September 30 on Blu-ray.

I hope Paramount aren't confused why Aussies torrent everything.

Two months later for the Blu-Ray and TMNT not released here until September 11.

Amazon has the blu-ray for pre-order with a wicked looking Grimlock and Optimus Prime statuette included for $80US. Im trying to find out just how big the statuette is as if it's of decent size I'm totally gonna order this (presuming the US Blu-Ray and DVD will work here)

Pfft...That's tiny compared to the one in your shed! it does look really good though

As for the Blu Ray, i don't see why it wouldn't, provided you have player compatible with Region A (US) discs, we're Region B.

If the wait is too long for you just buy the Blu-ray from the US. Paramount doesn't region protect their Blu-rays.

Yeah, shed Grimmy is a tad larger

Hmmm, well my blu-ray players are my PS3 and my PC - I think they might be compatible but not sure But hopefully Delta is right and Paramount doesn't code them anyway

Apparently the statuette is 7.25 inches high and Grimlock himself is 9 inches long. That size is good enough to convince me to pre-order it

There must be a massive markup on Blu-ray's in America. I see the MSRP for the 3D version is $53 but Amazon is selling it for $30. 3D Blu-ray's RRP here is normally $50 but you are lucky if you can buy them at retail for $40.

When it comes to voting with my wallet I normally vote to keep Australians employed with games and Blu-ray's and buy the AU release of them but this time I think I'll order the US version because of the long delay and the massive discount Amazon has off the MSRP.

Trev, I feel fairly confident that AOE will not be region locked because only 3% of Paramount's Blu-rays are confirmed region locked so far. http://regionfreemovies.com/studio/Paramount

Saw an email today about the blu-ray release and apparently there's an Optimus Prime Transforming Case with the blu-ray that's a Target Exclusive (U.S):

Will we get this in OZ?

For the first movie we got both Optimus & Bumblebee ones here so probably

I remember seeing transformable cases for DOTM here also. I bet we see the case released here again.

NZ release is the same as AU now.
