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! hmm.gif

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. hmm.gif

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... laugh.gif

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..
*
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....

BTW, I'm off to Sepang in an hour's time... will catch-up later 2nite smile.gif

Anyone interested in Fist of Legend [Blu-ray] (1994) $12.49?  This movie will release in Amazon US on April 20, 2010.

The GOOD News is the transfer was done really not bad.  nod.gif

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!
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 nod.gif

might get one as the price is cheap though hmm.gif
As my memory recalls, the original chinese audio is in Cantonese (and Japanese) , just like OUATIC
*
Ok, then it's cool.

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... hmm.gif

I am not big fan for UK's BD la  tongue.gif .  I just want to buy cheaper BDs since, normally, there is not much different. I  am just poor peasant  sad.gif  who want to save more.
*
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! tongue.gif

Not too bad balanced up. I dont keep any BD as collection. I must start soon. Only have stocks.. cry.gif

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 laugh.gif

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. doh.gif

The only reliable source that I know of: Blu-ray Region Code Info
or better yet, our host of helpful fellow forumers.... nod.gif

Guys,

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

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... nod.gif

You are damn lucky. I get mad when knowing this thing got stuck in Kch post office for unexplainable 9 stupid days.
All in all took me almost 1 month to get hold the BDs using Priority Mail. Next time just use normal shipment....no difference.

The moral of the story: Use Standard Shipping! If it comes early - very good! thumbup.gif If it comes late or never at all - fine.... because when you pay peanuts, you get monkeys; so at least you won't be too frustrated at the end of the day.. nod.gif

Guys,

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.

wave.gif Night All !

P/S : Hope you guys leave your experiences and opinions / comments here.
*
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... tongue.gif
