The 2 disc set should be arriving from Netflix today.
Anyone seen it at retail yet?

Yeah, Best Buy had it advertised in the Sunday paper.

I bought it June 30th at the US Grand Prix at Indy. A vendor there said they
were given an early release since they started the online petition to put it
on DVD.
I've watched the movie but not the extras yet. The movie in widescreen and
Dolby 5.1 was excellent. I've only seen parts of it on TV and had never had
a chance to watch it from start to finish.

I picked up a copy for $15 (without tax) at Best Buy this evening on the way
home from work.
Looking forward to watching it soon.

Hey, thanks for the tip. I missed that ad somehow. Headed out
shortly to buy a copy as this is definitely a "keeper". Already
watched part of it on the discs that came from Netflix today. At
almost 3 hours long it's got a way to go yet. :-)

Thanks for the Best Buy tip. Somehow I missed that ad. Headed out
shortly to pick up a copy after it cools off some (still almost 110
outside at 5:30PM - Phoenix, AZ area). :-)

Got the 2 disc set in the mail from Netflix today and watched part of
it. At almost 3 hours long I needed to take a break to get some work
done. :-)

Does anyone know if a region 2 version will be released for us Europeans?
Otherwise I'll have to buy a multi-region DVD player

Picked mine up at BB yesterday, along with the just-released Pink Floyd
"Pulse" DVD.

If you think about it, it's really weird it's not already there.

I picked it up for $16 or so at WALMART of all places.
Not that anyone asked for a review, but this DVD set is completely
worth the money. The remastering/recolorization of the original film
elements is vastly superior to the VHS version that came out several
years ago. Also, the 4 documentaries on the 2nd disc are very well
done, plenty of interviews with Frankenheimer, Garner, Brabham, Gurney,
etc.
If you like the movie Grand Prix I definitely recommend the DVD's,
they're a very nice package.

A little OT, but for you Pink Floyd fans the "PULSE" DVD was released on the
same day.

Yep, I completely agree. After getting replies to my original post
about Best Buy having it for $14.99 and with a Best Buy a 5 minute
drive from home and driving a SVT Focus with a top speed of 145mph...I
think you can figure out the rest. :-)

BTW, I forgot to mention that the 5 minute drive involves 3 stop
signs, 6 traffic lights, 5 left turns...
Only got into 6th gear once for about half a block. :-)

PS: I've never seen over 120MPH and that was at a sanctioned ontrack
event. The 145MPH is what SVT claims.

Heh! Heh! I like that.
Much better than the real reason for the me/2 handle. :-)
When I first started accessing usenet I was running OS/2 as an
operating system. All of my family members at that time thought they
were on the "net" because they were AOL (me too) users. So the me/2
sort of evolved as a dig at them.
At least now, they all have REAL internet accounts, and none of them
are AOL users any more. :-)

Thanks for the tip Aaron!
Best Buy in Olathe (Kansas City area) had a dozen copies on the shelf today.
After buying my copy, I wonder who else is hard-core enough into racing to
buy the other 11...
I was 15 yrs old when Mom took me to see "Grand Prix" at the theatre - I'd
just discovered the local slot car track, "Sports Car Graphic" magazine, and
Jim Clark.
I have 14 copies of Sports Car Graphic magazine 1966-1969, a July 1966 Car
Life, and a Feb 1969 Auto Racing. They're real "gems" - less specialized
than magazines today. They cover F1, Can-Am, other series, and sports cars
in general. How about the 1966 Targa Florio or the Sedona, AZ Hill Climb,
for example? ; )
