For $116 here's to hoping the audio is pitch corrected and Laurie Johnson's theme is in the correct key- C. NOT C#/Db. at least that way I'll know the dialogue is in the right pitch as well.

Crikey that is a steep price! Way more than the DVD set, wonder what chances there are of a reduction. Not much cheaper than The Sopranos and that was 80+ episodes with shedloads of extras

As discussed in other topics, the perceived pitch problems are only an issue for those used to NTSC broadcasts. This is a UK release so I'd expect it to be the 25fps we remember here, like every other film transmitted on PAL.

Not that I think there will be many people to care at that price! Amazon - UK

Personally, I hope they issue the episodes at 24 frames progressive, which will match how they were *shot*, which is surely what we should be aiming for. They were only ever speeded up in the UK/Europe for purely technical reasons, and those reasons no longer exist.

Also, since we know the sound is an issue, if they do them at 25 frames/second then we will most likely have sound pitched 8% too high as evidenced by the 24p sound on the US discs being pitched 4% higher than it should be.

This problem appears to be burned into the HD masters.

Most uninformed post ever. Blu-ray is 24fps, Blu-ray isn't PAL.

The Avengers should play at 24fps, as the original audio should too.

The pitch is wrong and the product needs a recall.

I never said Blu-Ray was PAL and Blu-Ray can be 24 or 25 or a number of other frame rates.

I was merely pointing out that The Avengers was shown at 25fps on UK TV therefore a 25fps Blu-Ray is unlikely to get the pitch complaints it does in the U.S.

And this Blu-Ray isn't even released until next February so it's a bit early to be demanding a recall!

Not that I'm worried as I won't be buying it.
