I bought it all at one go and paid only one shipment but it seems they sent it via 3 shipments... weird, eh?
ya,, that's what i heard,
but weird lo, like you say, packing of 4, 2, & 1
funny tho, y dont they pack 4 & 3 in two shipments instead of 3
i'm still Glued on House of Flying Daggers, for Audio calibration
1) the "Drum" scene track 3 at palace
this part really brings the midbass, & basslines to the very lows ( soree ya no 16-20hz sub to test

)
when zhang ziyi is gracefully dancing around matching the beads sequence, notice the tingling of bells in that tight midbass impulse
to the drawing of sword from andy Lau to the fight scene ended at the bath pool, not to mention crackling of bamboos at the prison...
2) prairie " track 8" & Bamboo forest " track 9" scene
fighting scene at the prairie, bows & arrows shooting, withdrawing and throwing of daggers, and also the incoming of dagger like "wooden sticks "
from no-where.
the falling of bamboo leaves from the quiet scene ( where zhang ziyi ) is resting
the bamboo rattling & crackling sound is superb, not to mention when the bamboo leaves sprung up, ( notice the height ) of the bamboo leaves
( these bamboos are some 20 - 30 feet)
my preference "this BD is superb for sound calibration, and its full of surprises from the quietest moments ( notice the whispers, breathing and other minute sounds to the pounding mids and bass)

and yes... suprisingly its in 5.1 DD,
wonder how it sounds in the UK Region B ...DTS-HD MA BD
