Aren't Koch Media supposed to be releasing a load of gialli?

It's mentioned a few posts back.

I preordered the "Giallo-Collection - Teil 1" on amazon.de, but I'm actually kinda tired of the DVD format, so I might cancel it. (im not a big fan of such boxes anyway; i like a movie to have an individual packaging)

And not long after that comment about DVDs I received a Koch "Silbersattel" (Sella d'Argento) BD that doesn't even work. 

Anyone else who had problems with this release?

My one works fine.

My one works fine.

i even got it to work earlier, but usually it says unknown disc, or loads and then goes into a black screen. Lame.

Update the firmware!

Update the firmware!

of course not. you know how many times a shitty firmware update that usually leads to little improvement anyway causes region unlock codes to not work anymore?
and why would updated firmware suddenly make the blu-ray player play some old disc, when with the old firmware it has no problems playing a bd that came out 3 years later, even released by the same company?

Excited to see this Elio Petri boxset coming in November: http://shop.dtm.at/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=54&products_id=49470

Nice find, Ben - I've got two of the titles in that set but it would be nice to get hold of an official release of WE STILL KILL THE OLD WAY.

Likewise Paul but definitely worth it for the We Still Kill The Old Way.

DTM emailed me to say that the Giallo-Collection Teil 1 boxset is no longer avaialble for pre-order... hoping this is just a delay!

Hi Ben, a Koch product manager over at the dp forum mentioned that everything was more or less ready to go, but they are still working on more bonus material.  So far interviews with Salvatore Puntillo and Vittorio Sindoni have been announced but Sindoni is busy shooting at the moment. It might take some more time to get him in front of a camera. The extras on FEMINA RIDENS are more problematic since it seems that neither of the two protagonists wants to discuss the film. I wish Koch would try and get input from Schivazappa too, especially considering what extraordinary and unusual piece of cinema FR is.

Thanks for the update KommissarX, appreciate it. Sure it'll all be worth the wait.

WESTERN UNCHAINED COLLECTION

Koch Media is currently planning to launch a new Spaghetti Western DVD collection, which encompasses Quentin Tarantino's favorite Spaghetti Westerns (taken from the SWDB-exclusive top 20 List) and many that he selected for last year's retrospective at the Venice Film Festival. The DVDs will be released on January 18th in Amaray Cases with cardboard sleeve, to coincide with the European release of Tarantino's Django Unchained, which hits German theaters on January 13.

10 Italowestern, die zu den Lieblingen von Regisseur Quentin Tarantino gehören bzw. von ihm für die große Venedig-Retrospektive ausgesucht wurden. 4 Titel als Neuveröffentlichung: Rocco, der Mann mit den zwei Gesichtern (DVD), Der Tod zählt keine Dollars (DVD), Die Zeit der Geier (DVD) und Tepepa (DVD+Blu-ray) außerdem Mörder des Klans als Neuauflage im Originalformat 2.35:1
