Why not Amazon just include the slipcover instead and why do you have to pay RM40? Please explain , i dont understand.

I've never purchased from Amazon, until yesterday i placed 5 copies of A Bug's Life. That's scaring me at the moment.

Wonder if my ABL all without slipcover?

Of course i know, but if you are paying for the entire disc, why not they just sent it with slipcovers.

I mean, i dont know you prefer the slipcover or you dont , but i think slipcover just makes the BD look merrier.

Yep, you're right, at least i take it as a precaution. I understand not all movies has the slip covers, so not a problem bro..

Btw, Sherlock Holmes & Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel out today on Blu-ray.

Aathavan , Unnaipol Oruvan , Eenadu Blu-ray Disc Review [source : zulm.net]

I just watched both 'Aathavan' and 'Unnnai Pol Oruvan'. I had in fact ordered the 'Unai Pol Oruvan' Blu-ray and was concerned when I saw the 'Eenadu' Blu-ray in my mailbox. Thankfully, the Blu-ray has both the Tamil and Telugu versions on the same disc (Kamal Hassan with Mohan Lal and Kamal Hassan with Venkatesh respectively). The default soundtrack for both versions was DTS-HD MA 5.1 on my Blu-ray. There is a Tamil LPCM 5.1 soundtrack also. The Blu-ray cover is "Unnai Pol Oruvan" on one side and "Eenadu" on the reverse.

So, depending on what language you wanna watch primarily, you can switch your cover accordingly. After that confusion was cleared up, I actually got around to watching the movie. Had very high expectations for the movie as it was shot using the Red One camera and the transfer onto a Blu-ray should mirror the digital source flawlessly, in theory. In practice though, I feel that some of the visual detail has been lost (maybe as a compromise in trying to fit 2 movies into one Blu-ray or maybe that is the level of detail on the source itself?). It just didn't have that 'Wow' factor for me.

I could be mistaken here, but that's just my impression. Don't get me wrong though - it is still a fine presentation, just wondering if it could've been better. The DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack does its job as expected.

"Aathavan" is another staple release from Ayngaran, holding up well in both the Audio and Video departments. The video is really up there with other previous definitive ayngaran releases and can certainly give the other Blu-rays a run for their money (barring 'Sivaji' of course, which still remains numero uno). I thought that the amount of discernable detail visible on this Blu-ray was much better than that on 'Unnai Pol Oruvan'.

The soundtrack doesn't disappoint either, scoring very highly with both the DTS-HD MA 5.1 and LPCM 5.1 versions onboard (again, I thought that my subwoofers got more of a workout with this Blu-ray than with 'Unnai Pol Oruvan', but then that could also reflect the different natures of the 2 soundtracks in question). Guys, do pitch in with your comments and impressions on the same..

P/S: A review by a fan from India

Watched Transporter 3 this morning before Arsenal v Barcelona ,the film was good! A lot of action!

Though this movie is not as good as first 2 Transporter movie but has acceptable transfer.


PQ: Amazing video! Max High Def

AQ: The Audio is awesome! DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1, is a great audio track for the movie that is loud..

Received safe and sound restock item 4 bd's.

Pyaar Impossible, Rocket Singh..Salesman Of the year & Ghajini x 2.

DHL not so bad after all just took 3 days complete to deliver.

I agree with you bro, even the last film i watched in cinema was Avatar [both on 3d and 2d]. The image was fading in and out constantly and color was utter blurry..

Probably you watch BD too much bro, your eyes can't accept non-sharp images / high def..

You're the man.

Probably we wont be able to even invite you for a cinema gathering [kidding oni] since you love to watch movies on BD

Save money buy more more BD ..

The Blu-ray release of Pixar's two first feature movies, Toy Story and Toy Story 2, got first and third place respectively in the Blu-ray sales chart for the week ending March 28, according to Nielsen VideoScan First Alert. The Oscar-winning drama The Blind Side, which was the top-seller on packaged media overall, came in a close second.

Each of the top three titles sold approximately half a million copies on Blu-ray, based on total disc sales and BD percentages.

Top Ten

1. Toy Story
2. The Blind Side
3. Toy Story 2
4. (1) The Twilight Saga: New Moon
5. (2) The Princess and the Frog
6. (6) 2012
7. Fantastic Mr. Fox
8. The Men Who Stare at Goats
9. (3) Ninja Assassin
10. Brothers

Agree with you, defect exist everywhere , most important is we ought to enjoy the movie rather gettin' worried bout the details. I think its a kinda of sickness , even my own blood brother, never prefers UK edition blu-ray's. He's more to anything from US.

All we need is a content of the disc. Probably there could be loads of differences, for me i just think they resemble much in larger volume.

No offence bro maskedchan.. [im speaking in common though]

Need a general advice

My blu-ray supplier wants me to bring in the following blu-ray to MYS.

1. Kamasutra - The Indian Way Of Love - Blu-Ray
2. Tantra - The Secret Of Sexual Exstasy -Blu-Ray
3. Bollyrobics - Dance Like Bollywood Stars Blu-Ray

I doubt that this will even gets through the Customs. Should i reject the stock or accept it?.

Plus i know its illegal to sell it at LYN..can someone let me know if this is definitely not worth spending time working on it..

I have not seen the disc yet, but from the information i've got it looks like ***** stars and strong sexual content.

I think i better not take the risk at all..

Not taking the risk at the moment. Rejected the offer..

Welcome to the "blu" World.

You can skip the trailers, its just promotional. Just press Top Menu [if there's one] or Menu / Pop Up Menu.

It should direct you to the film Main Menu..

Guys,

Need advise. Can i buy , The Passion of the Christ Blu-ray and will it pass through the Customs?

Anyone has bought this movie from Amazon before. I wanted to watch this film for very long time , never had the chance.

Cheers..

Cool, then im buying it right away..thanks for the swift response guys..

Tried buying the FIFA WORLD CUP 2006 Blu-ray. I wonder if this is Blu-ray or DVD. The image seems to be like a Blu-ray.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/All-Goals-Germany-...70210919&sr=1-5

This is a Blu-ray sold by 3rd party seller. [Not shipped to MYS tho]

http://www.amazon.co.uk/FIFA-World-Cup-Ger...70210919&sr=1-8

Confusing..

I'll double confirm with Amazon UK CS. At least i dont buy DVD instead of Blu-ray.

Thanks for the suggestion..

No worries bro, im not playing it on Blu-ray player. I'm using a BD-ROM.

I can watch any BD on my PC.. Anyway , thanks for info..

Just finished watching Tomb Raider.

Movie is great..

PQ is grainy , if it wasn't grainy , it would have been a great transfer.
AQ is ok w DTS 5.1 , would have been great if Dolby TrueHD 5.1 mastered.

Overall, this is for Jolie's fans..
