Universal Pictures DVD Release Schedule

ABOUT THE DVDS:

In Mid 1999 Seagrams (parent company to Polygram) was bought out by Universal Pictures.. Now in Australian Polygram DVDs come under the Universal Pictures Video Banner.

Universal Pictures Home video, while part of "Univeral" are not at this point responsible for distributing the bigger titles from the universal catalogue..at the moment...They do however distribute DVDs for Dreamworks. 

Though Dreamworks USA are dedicated to releasing DVDs with a DTS track (and even DTS-ES 6.1 tracks) no Dreamsworks DVD has been released in OZ carrying this superior audio format.  (we can only hope they do ...and soon!)

General Retail prices for Universal DVDs are under $AUD40 and come in the Amaray Case.

Univeral Pictures are also releasing selected DVDs as RENTAL ONLY first.  Cast Away & Meet the Parents are two such titles, both of which are totally striped of any extras (on the rental versions only)
