Yeah I hear even the tins sent from amazon.fr in good packaging (unlike fnac) are suffering from scratched backs even though they're clingfilmed. You can also see on you youtube clip posted earlier a guy unboxing his and commenting that that inside case is a bit bashed. The French edition is a nice idea but I don't buy discs for the packaging, and certainly not when there's a good chance that packaging will be damaged. YMMV.

Anyone notice the blood doesn't leave the frame on the blu-ray the way it did in cinemas? I know it was probably done to enhance the 3D effect (and worked a treat) but wouldn't have thought there'd be any harm in keeping it in.

Glad I'm not the only one to notice this :)

My god, overall the quality of the 3D is even better than that of the cinema.  There was only one exception that I could see - the exploding cheek.  I'm sure some of the blood sprayed past the black border bottom right in the cinema. On the Blu-ray it didn't. It disappeared behind the edge of the frame.  A small gripe, 'cos the rest was brilliant!

Wasn't the blood splash outside the screen achieved in the cinema simply by introducing a 'fake' border at the bottom of the screen in black and the letting the blood go over that? It didn't actually 'leave' the frame, it looks as though they didn't bother doing this for the Bluray.

Yup, in the cinema black bars aren't usually in place, they just scale the movie to the screen and use the curtains. However, proper screenings of DREDD 3D had a safe area of black letterboxing to allow certain particle effects to appear to leave the screen, like so;



I wonder if this is somehow not allowed by the DVD and Blu-ray specification? I can't think of a disc that has anything break the border of a screen ratio in this way. At least all editions seem to be the same in this respect and aside from this forum, I've not seen anywhere else even notice :)

Do we know where DREDD's Lawmaster is for example? I know Urban was very keen on it and even though it's not road legal, I wonder if he's got it :)
