Looks like they've added some great stuff to the BluRay version. Probably worth getting to see a lot of these things. |

We have been told that the Japanese Blu ray will have more material still, yet this press release doesn't address that.
It does however state the following: "Queen On Tour 1974-5: Featuring Queen at the Rainbow and unseen footage of the band touring Japan for the first time. Includes excerpts of ‘Now I’m Here’, ‘Killer Queen’ and ‘In The Lap Of The Gods’ live".
Is this part of what was initially going to be exclusive to Japan, or something different? Are the I Was Born To Love You and Teo Torriatte videos still exclusive to a Japanese release?
All Japanese pre order sites only have the uk Blu ray as an import and there is no specific Jpanese one to be seen; some sites even show the Japanese Blu Ray as being cancelled.
Can someone like GB or GT please confirm the situation regarding exactly what release will contain the extra Japanese material??! I want to get the release with the FULL content, and don;t want to buy the UK pne only to find it available in Japan a month later. |

Looks like it's time to invest in Blu-Ray DVD Player - 60 minutes of bonus material makes a difference. I just hope it's good! |

watch here link Actors: ???? Subtitles: ??? Region: Region 2 (This DVD will probably NOT be viewable in other countries. Read more about DVD formats.) Number of discs: 2 Studio:: ???????????? DVD Release Date: 2011/12/21 Run Time: 266 minutes seems running time 266 minutes, different from above comments ... more stuff ? |

I contacted the dutch office of Universal and they told me they have no idea what their colleagues in Japan are up to. Does anyone know whether the Japanese blu-ray is actually gonna be released, region coded and internationally available? I have no intention of buying this release multiple times (like I already did with so many Queen albums and videos/dvd's) so I'm more than willing to wait for another month, if that means I get the most complete release. It also amazes me that neither Queenonline or Universal themselves can answer questions like these. |

if amazon japan sells an import item, it is written on it see link i use to buy through it and it is always so. i dont really know what there could be on this next release .... anyway i ordered it |

This looks absolutely incredible. Possibly the best Queen release in at least a decade. Where are the naysayers who say QP gives the fans nothing new? Come on, I dare you.... ! |
| pittrek 16.11.2011 12:22 |
The content is great. Could be much better, but still it looks like the best Queen release since ... I don't remember when :) |

will we see rainbow march show on documentary or only november show? Any guesses |

That's a bit like saying if you've had 9 bad meals in a restaurant and then get 1 good one you shouldn't mention the 8 bad ones ever again! Nevertheless, this looks like a great release and I'm even tempted to buy a Blu Ray player just to get the extra material. |

That said, who in their right mind goes to a restaurant after not liking it the first 8 times? :-) |

I don't have a BlueRay player and I refuse to buy one purely because QP refuses to add the full content to the DVD. We had this before when DVD's were new, and had a lot more content than the VHS, but there was a good reason as DVD had so much more space to add stuff.This is purely to force people to buy the BlueRay instead of the DVD, and that is something I refuse. Apart from that I think it's a nice release, I'm very curious! |

Dear QPL & Universal.
Fucking NTSC. I live in fucking England, you wankers. We use the PAL TV system over here at 25fps. That goes for Bluray as well. I'm NOT at all happy about having to view yet another release with "drag" on the picture because you're too fucking tight to provide the correct format for the 3/4 of the world who use PAL. |

Here where i live we have PAL TV too, but... really there's a great difference between 25 fps or 29.97 fps??? can the eye capt a diffrence of 4.97 frames per second??? anyway i always think that the PAL footage should be keeped as PAL and the NTCS as NTCS, so if the majory of the footage is PAL the dvd would be PAL... |

From Queenonline.com: “As the two documentaries worked so well, we resisted the idea of making an epic 3-hour ‘Extended Cut’. They are always boring, and as Freddie said to his manager Jim Beach in his last days: “Do anything you want with my music dear, but never make me boring! “So rather than simply dump a load of ‘deleted scenes’ onto the DVD and Blu-Ray, Simon and I decided to edit them all with as much love, time and care as we put into the main documentary. ============================== This makes a clear difference between de way these guys work and the policy from QP we have seen over the last few years. |

Why they didn't do the same with Days Of Our Lives dvd? This is just to make us buy a Blu-Ray player...and it's ironic because there's not much on Queen archives that would benefit from an proper HD release. Even Montreal Blu-Ray has the same extras as the dvd. Although i'm happy that we're going to get something new from Queen, i'm very disappointed with this DVD/Blu-Ray extras war. Remember Universal is also a movie studio, so they want to push Blu-Ray sales. Some studios are doing this with home-cinema DVD/Blu-Ray releases already. |

Less discs and more GB capacity. So hopefully no more compressed Queen concerts in the future. This is indeed bad news for the people who don't have Blu Ray. But hell... save some money and you can buy a good Blu Ray player. Big advantage; Blu Ray players do play your old DVD's. I'd loved to see Budapest and the Rainbow released on Blu Ray in te future. |

Oh man. I just watched the scrabble wars bit on QOL. Priceless. What a great video. Go see it! I have a question for GT. It's about the Freddie 65th anniversary video. In this video we see Freddie singing My melancholy blues. I believe this is the BBC version but i had never seen it. Did you guys find in the archives and was it only made available for the Freddie 65th anniversary video or does it exist in full and we will see it on the Blu-Ray. |

Thanks for the definitive info on the Japan release GT. I am baffled as to why there is no Japanese release Blu Ray (all the Blu Ray editions available to order online are the standard International one on import). As a result, only the Japanese two disc DVD will have the exclusive material. It could one of the following; 1) Blu Ray is not as big in Japan? (unlikely, and then why stock the import?), or 2) it's too expensive to manufacture two different Blu ray versions but not two different DVDs?, or 3) it's another scam so that if you want the interviews etc in HD you have to buy the Blu Ray, but if you want the extra Japanest footage (which many will) you have to buy the Japanese special edition two disc DVD too?? There was also a three disc DVD version listed online for pre order named "Directors cut Edition" but this is now shown as cancelled. Gary - can you say what was due to be on this?? Looks like the Japanese two disc version for me then - it has everything from the UK Blu Ray plus the extra Japanese 40 mins or so. Shame, cos I wanted the hi def stuff in the best possible quality. |

Or is the sound and picture dependent on the brand of TV regardless of which brand of player used ? |

I'd expect to get more features on the BluRay than the DVD. They're not forcing you to buy a BluRay player as someone mentioned earlier. They're offering more features on the BluRay, which is to be expected these days. I don't see what the issue is really. |

I'll be waiting for press release with detailed information to confirm the Japanese release bonus content. ------------------------- GT says: The Japanese DVD has an extra disc with the following content: Additional Bonus Feature (Japan only) Additional Videos - Teo Torriatte - (2005 promo video) I Was Born To Love You (2004 promo video) Queen in Japan - 1975 including - Press Conference - Japanese Tea Party - Live performances of Now I’m Here, Killer Queen and In The Lap of the Gods from the Budokan Queen in Japan - 1982 live performances at the Seibu Lions stadium of Love of My Life - Save Me - We Will Rock You Freddie Mercury - 65th Birthday Tribute Video. ------------------------- But the first disc on the DVD is the same as the UK/worldwide release? And the Japanese Blu-Ray is the same of UK/worldwide, plus Japanese extras? My opinion: this confusion wouldn't happen with a double DVD with all the extras and a Blu-Ray with all the extras worldwide and without any region specific release/extras. |

The extra 40 mins of Japan only footage is ONLY on the two disc DVD version in Japan, not on Blu Ray. GT's post confirms "DVD" only. Like the previous poster, I will wait to see some reports from purchasers to get definitive confirmations of content. |
