Gladiator Sapphire Series blu-ray for $9.99 + free shipping

Very good price. Great movie! If I didn't have the combo I'd grab one of these.

What is so good about "Sapphire Series"?

Is this movie in 3-D? Movies that aren't 3-D are terrible.

Just to add on to OP's deal, Braveheart is also @ $9.99

Is there still a rebate if you own the DVD version?

Ordered earlier and grabbed the Like New condition copy for $8.49

Quote from kovy : Is this movie in 3-D? Movies that aren't 3-D are terrible.

No. This is in 4-D.

What exactly does Sapphire edition mean? what's the difference?

Also, seems some people are getting the old ones on amazon and not the remastered,anyone know how to return it to amazon? do we pay postage? and how long does it take to get refund

I believe gladiator got poor reviews was not a good transfer. Also does this have dts-hd? I don't think it does.

Yes it is 5.1 DTS-HD.

From Amazon:

Product Description
Director Ridley Scott’s triumphant Gladiator is an unparalleled combination of vivid action and extraordinary storytelling that earned five Oscars® including Best Picture. The Blu-ray presentation will include both the original theatrical version of the film as well as the extended version in 1080p High Definition with English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, French 5.1 Dolby Digital and Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital, as well as English, English SDH, French, Spanish and Korean subtitles. The two-disc set also will feature over four hours of bonus material.

Upon first glance, and as expected, the HD presentation quality of Gladiator isn't as bad as some online would have you believe. Color and contrast are fine at all times. The problem is with the level of detail. The vast majority of the film has a slightly digital-looking quality to it, and there's clear edge-enhancement "haloing" visible. The extended edition scenes, however, look fine - no halos, no digital patina - they're very natural looking. If the whole film looked like the extended scenes, we wouldn't be having this conversation. What it looks like to me (though it's impossible to be sure, obviously), is that someone at Universal (keep in mind, it's Universal that controls the Gladiator assets for DreamWorks - not Paramount), decided to reuse the digital master of older, sub-par HD transfer.

Not a great film. Cheers

I think I saw a release for the Sapphire series combo for the 3 movies (Gladiator, Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan) due out soon. If you want all of them you may be able to get them less then $10 each in the box set if they go on sale somewhere. link on Amazon for reference:

The Sapphire Collection (Braveheart/Gladiator/Saving Private Ryan) [Blu-ray] [amazon.com]

I for one grabbed the Braveheart/Gladiator combo 2 movie pack at frys when it was on sale for $11.99 for both. The transfer on Gladiator was fixed and all new discs should have the new transfer on them with the better video quality.
