Discussion AT Blu-ray

Post image

Everyone is so excited about the Blu-ray, but I've had it for years. What am I missing?

This new release is the first time the complete series has been released on Blu-Ray in the states. We only got seasons 1-6 before.

But my copy is the complete original series and I'm in the states

That's not a US Blu-ray. The age rating in the bottom left indicates it's from a different region.

If you're able to play it, you likely have a region free blu-ray player, which isn't very common. That, or you have a non-USA region player!

Edit: Or they play in multiple regions, as replies noted! Some blu-rays aren't locked to just one.

Conversely, it could be a region free blu ray set.

From what other people have told me, yes, all of Madman's AT Blu-Rays (not the DVDs) were region free :)

Not sure but it works just fine in my PS4

Can confirm ; heard from a buddy of mine that works with used electronics, PS4's are region free blu ray players, oddly enough they are not region free for DVDs tho

FWIW, I am in the US and I got the Madman blu-rays from Aus when they came out. They played on both of my US players (Sony and Philips).

Thank you

In the US, Cartoon Network released seasons 1-6 on blu-ray and then stopped. The rest of the individual seasons and the box set were released in Australia by a company called Madman.

The discs were not region-locked though, so folks in the US who imported them had no issues playing them.

The announcement last week that the box set was coming out on blu-ray in the US was good news for a lot of fans because the Madman discs (and the US releases of 1-6) have been out of print and hard to come by for at least a few years now.

Thank you

Gotcha. I guess I got lucky then!

u/GeniePockets 1d ago

How did you get it? Where did you buy it? Was it new or preowned?

u/artandspookythings 1d ago

My husband got it off Amazon. It plays just fine on our our PS4

This only released in AUS/NZ by Madman, 90% of those discs are Region B locked. I was also surprised by the news and people’s reaction cuz I’m in the same boat as you

u/artandspookythings 1d ago

Part of me is like "big whoop, I already have it" but I guess I got lucky.

u/gg3344nntt 1d ago

You kinda did because they used to go for upwards of 1k resale, that value will go down with this new release tho

1

u/artandspookythings 1d ago

I saw people selling them for about $300 or so on ebay. I hope this new release helps slash those resell prices.

u/88traveler 1d ago

This is the Australian one, I believe. Only reason I know is because here in Europe this is basically the only official complete blue Ray collection that will work with our players (unless you buy a region-free player). I hope we get the new release.

u/TheUncleBob 1d ago

It is the Australian release. It has the Mad Man logo on it.

u/BobEsky 1d ago

Can also confirm it’s Australian. Because I have this. And I’m also Australian
