these covers do remind me of Saw, but they also look like the Special Edition of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2….if anyone else said that my bad…his blog is really long and i didnt want to read all of it to see if anyone else thought that too.

I heard that the 2009 dvd of Part 2 has more of the picture on the sides than the 1999 and 2004 versions. Does anyone know if that’s true?

My 2000 bare bones copy of Part 3 on dvd is crytal clear, it’s not blurry at all and the black tones are deep and clear. It must just be the 2009 version. My 2000 copy of Part 4 is grainy though, hopefully they’ll fix that in the new version due out in June… tommyblah, thanks for the info.

yes the discs are region free. i just got mine yesterday and they work fine.

part 2 looks SO awesome. so much better than part 1, and it isn’t zoomed in other than being in 1.78:1 rather than 1.85:1 ..i didn’t do any comparisons, but on the part 1 blu-ray it was very obvious to me that stuff was cropped off. this one looked fine. seeing it in 1080P was like seeing it for the first time again.

part 3 didn’t look too good in my opinion. the black tones often had this white grain in them that almost looked like static. i like that they keep the original film grain, but i don’t recall my dvd looking like that…i haven’t compared them yet. also, it looked a little blurry like you can tell it was originally 3-D. maybe it’s always looked this way and the HD makes it more apparent.

i don’t know. but my recommendation is go for 2, hold off on 3. it’ll be in the boxset anyway, which if you’re obsessed with this series like me, it’s a must have.

paramount are fools to release all the Fridays on blu ray if theyre not uncut. With movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre:The Beginning around….theres no excuse!

Question:
If the UK BD version of Friday 3 doesn’t include a 3D version what does it include that labels it as a “Special Editon”?

sweet!! but a little too late…i went ahead and ordered the blurays on amazon.co.uk right after i posted that. the covers look bad-ass & from what i’ve read, they should be compatible with my blu-ray player. i’ll post some comments as soon as they arrive!! i can’t wait!!!!!

if only they’d dig up that deleted footage! i’d buy them again for that (which would be like the 5th time). something comparable to the new director’s cut of the original my bloody valentine would be fine. i know alot of people don’t like that the footage isn’t mastered, but i’m thankful just to see it. there’s so many rumors surrounding it…i wanna know what’s really there.

At tommyblah:
Parts 2, 3 are available on Xbox Live for 340 points in HIGH DEF. I watched 2, and it looked PHENOMENAL.

Also if you have a Blu-ray player, HD-DVD player, or just an upscaling DVD player, it looks pretty good too.

at pampers:
“AWAKE and return to God.” This country was never “with god”, this country was never a “christian nation”. There is countless documents and quotes that prove my point here a la: The Treaty of Tripoli (article 10). You can look at the quotes of many of our founding fathers, many of which were Deists.

Well f13 2 and 3 may not be getting a blu-ray release but if you have an Xbox 360, you can find them on Xbox Live in HD for 340 points, I watched 2, and it looked awesome in HD.

Part 2 and 3 not being released in blu ray yet, might be a good thing. It gives Paramount a chance to do a better job on these in blu ray than they did on the deluxe dvds.

Ok all…You need to look on the bright side. A blu ray player plays DVDs in a better quality than a standard DVD player. I have many cheap horror films that play much better on my blu ray player than they did on my standard dvd player.

Also if you have a home theater system they are excellent for movies that can be played in 5.1 dolby surround. Considering that this movie version is not set with that crappy VHS “mono” sound. like the previous releases of this movie, if you have a home theater system, There will be a big difference.

Maybe that will satisfy people in the meantime?
