Now, top white sticker cannot be a reference sign for Region A (US) bds because the other day I saw two Region A (Asia) bds with top white sticker at $PEEDO & Rock Corner! CLOSED

QUOTE(azxel @ Apr 1 2010, 05:06 PM) You know... I think BD is totally destroying my cinema experience... Recently I find cinema movie's image quality really horrible... watch till my eye kinda hurt because it doesn't look sharp at all... there's this blur-like image that's constant and the colors seem a bit washed out... The horrible PQ in our cinema huh? I noticed that long ago redi... could it be because they have to re-duplicate for the 'subtitled' version for our local cinema projecting and lead to degradation of quality? Oh, then again I dont know how subtitles were done on cinema reel... just my thoughts. |

QUOTE(low98944 @ Apr 2 2010, 11:14 AM) Yes. I read somewhere at http://bluray.highdefdigest.com, the more "generation" you copy of your movie, the more degrade of the quality of the PQ for that copy. Thanks for the link, that's a good read... ___________________________________________________________ Ah, now you've found it.... ok, thanks...

QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Apr 3 2010, 02:39 PM) Just finished watching Tomb Raider. Agreed with you bro. The grainy part killed off this blu-ray release as the cinematography's quite impressive in this sort of movie. They need a new master for this but I doubt it very much....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.. BTW, I'm off to Sepang in an hour's time... will catch-up later 2nite |

QUOTE(low98944 @ Apr 9 2010, 10:07 AM) Anyone interested in Fist of Legend [Blu-ray] (1994) $12.49? This movie will release in Amazon US on April 20, 2010. One of my favourite Jet's early movie... but looks a bit grainy. But all is forgiven because this one is a truly classic martial arts movie.... at least to me!![]() The GOOD News is the transfer was done really not bad. ![]() Just one question... the original chinese audio is in Cantonese (and Japanese) or just Mandarin like the old vhs/dvd? I'd very much prefer the former |

QUOTE(robinlim @ Apr 9 2010, 11:08 PM) The video transfer seems not bad Ok, then it's cool. might get one as the price is cheap though As my memory recalls, the original chinese audio is in Cantonese (and Japanese) , just like OUATIC BTW, I just couldn't register in my head how language like English being dubbed over just for the sake of American market... English subtitle should have suffice for US market. Mandarin still ok la... but kurang 'ummph'! Even though I don't understand chinese, the expression & vocabulary are certainly at best with original language! Will probably get this if price drops below USD10 maybe... |

QUOTE(low98944 @ Apr 10 2010, 09:40 AM) I am not big fan for UK's BD la Agreed. UK's BDs overall are still darn cheap compared to US; provided it's region-free of course (I dont have RF player). I bought Cars from Amazon UK last year thru BOGO... but after a while, when I look at the package overall, still felt something wrong with it eventhough there's nothing wrong with it! haha..... And ended up buying the US version during BF and leave the UK's one still unwrapped! QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Apr 10 2010, 09:49 AM) Is that right? Based on your recent posts, I thought you must've been one of the fastest newbie BD collector in recent memory (hehe...) where most of your collection are Bollywood flicks. You must start collecting now bro.... it's an infection |

QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Apr 10 2010, 04:39 PM) I'm new to Amazon. If you know how do i acctually read the region info in Amazon?. I hardly see it stated for some blu-ray titles. Amazon are hopeless when it comes to region coding information. When they label blu-ray code as numbers (like Region 1) - already an evident that they know nothing about. The only reliable source that I know of: Blu-ray Region Code Info or better yet, our host of helpful fellow forumers.... |

QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Apr 12 2010, 06:40 AM) Guys, Based on your estimated delivery date, your standard shipping parcel will arrive no more than 2 weeks.... if there's no hiccups at Customs, Pos etc. of course... Good morning, i have a quick question to ask. My orders from Amazon has been shipped today [US 11th April]. Stated that estimated arrival 18th May. Anyone could tell me, if the item will arrive after 18th May or by / before? Im sure all experienced buyer from Amazon knows the answer to this question. Please advise. Cheers |

QUOTE(Exarkun @ Apr 12 2010, 10:47 AM) Dang...I just got mine and it's without slipcovers. They ommitted the slipcovers from the later batch.

I got mine from Amazon US.. never bought anything from UK... a decade ago got la buy from Amazon Canada cos those days DVDs were cheaper there...

QUOTE(mikapoh @ Apr 15 2010, 11:25 PM) You are damn lucky. I get mad when knowing this thing got stuck in Kch post office for unexplainable 9 stupid days. The moral of the story: Use Standard Shipping! If it comes early - very good! All in all took me almost 1 month to get hold the BDs using Priority Mail. Next time just use normal shipment....no difference. This post has been edited by fadthil: Apr 16 2010, 01:41 AM |

QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Apr 18 2010, 10:45 PM) Guys, In my case, my criteria will be 3, 4, 1, 2, 5. But on some occasion, 4 (especially PQ) will influenced me to over-rule 3. But of course if that is not the main criteria... 1 will give you the impulse to buy even you'd regret it later haha... How do we consider a title before we buy. 1. Do we buy BD because its cheap [obviously everyone does] ? 2. Do we buy BD after reading reviews and comments on the desired title? 3. Do we buy BD cos of good story line ? 4. Do we buy BD for the sake of PQ & AQ aspects? 5. Do we buy BD for ultimate high definition stuff? What are other aspects you consider before you buy a Blu-ray title. Hope im not asking a silly question. I would like to have you all share your experiences and knowledge. P/S : Hope you guys leave your experiences and opinions / comments here. |
