So, as I mentioned in my last post, I'd decided to treat myself to the limited edition Pros blu rays and had resigned myself to waiting until June before I'd get my hands on them. However, since the weekend I have been hearing increasing numbers of "Ooohs" and "Ahhhs" and deafening "Squeees" from my fellow Pros fans as the first dvds and blu rays began to land in their laps.

I was only smiling ruefully at this point, enjoying everyone's excitement but still happy to wait. And then folks started posting photos - photos we'd never seen before! - and screencaps of such clarity that they took your breath away. And I suddenly realised that by purchasing the blu rays I'd have to continue to use the old dvds for screencaps and vidding, and I'd only be able to view all those wonderful photos on my tv and never be able to use them on my computer. Because, of course, I can't play blu rays on my laptop or on the PC!

But I desperately wanted to see the lads on blu ray (and, of course, the OH has just bought me a blu ray player specifically for that purpose) and had no intention of changing my mind about ordering the deluxe version, so I had a bit of a dilemma on my hands. What should I do? Well, there was only one thing I could do, wasn't there?

I've just ordered the dvds...

Well done for ordering DVD box! lol I've been waiting for my Blu-Ray box is delivered soon. It's on its way to my place now!

Anyway, I'm curious about the limited edition you mentioned. Are they going to release it in June!? How different are they between DVD or Blu-Ray ones we're enjoying now??? Could you tell me? I'm a little maniac about Pros media thing now... Bit obsessed with them I should say...

The blu ray is brilliant and well worth it , the deluxe edition I will get sometime later in the year but I'm afraid I couldn't wait and lo and behold it arrived on Sunday morning xx

That is a perfectly wise reason to get he DVDs as well. I don't have a Blueray player and my PowerDVD programme wouldn't play Blueray, so that's why I'm only getting the DVDs. I couldn't just sit and watch without thinking about capping.

Look forwsrd to your vids.

My DVDs are supposed to arrive on 10th April, but I won't hold my breath, because Australia Post is crap now.

Heh! Go for it! Pros fans wait so long for these opportunities, we might as well make the most of it. :D

Meanwhile I was a bit surprised to see the new DVD is also being advertised with a book here.

That didn't seem to be an option when I ordered.

It's the only sensible thing a girl can do.

Agh, my comment got eaten by the computer - just dropped by to say, sounds eminently sensible to me! Hope you enjoy every last minute (and if they're good for capping, maybe there'll be a vid or two coming our way .... ? *bg*)

I've just did the same!
I dream about deluxe version, I so much want to have this book with photographs and so on. But the June and with posting to Russia I suspect it can be August... And I don't even have the blu ray player, I'm going to buy it but.. Who knows there can be problems with the region codes or something. And then I saw your post, I read it, sat watching at it and then I went and placed the order. And you know what? I feel so happy now! Thank you))
Hope it will arrive some time)
