Anyone have any idea when Paramount will start issuing Duke films on Blu-Ray? I have the Warner releases of Cowboys, Rio Bravo, and The Searchers---and they are gorgeous.
Paramount is sitting on a treasure. I will buy several. Anyone heard anything?

Thanks for update Elly.
I wonder will these editions be issued in Region 2 as well?

Hi Mike
Have you tried making your DVD player region free as I have so that it does not matter where you buy them from they will still play?
Usually it is a matter of entering a code via the remote control. PM me if you want some help with it

Give us a rundown of the extras Elly when you receive DVD. Like most of us, I already have DVD. Could you also compare prints and sound quality to see if there is any significant differences.

Hello Mike
Well they finally arrived and having watched them back to back I can say they are both well worth the money I paid.
Not only is the qualty of the print far superior to the copies i had I would have paid this just for the extras.
if only all DVDs were up to this standard

Will do. Like you I have them already but am a sucker for the extras and of course better quality. Always get the extras but the quality does not always improve.

hi all
I pre ordered these from Amazon.com and heard on Monday of this week that they have now been shipped so I should have them next week.
I only ordered them for the extras as I already have both films on DVD.
