QUOTE(arremie @ Mar 6 2010, 01:30 AM) I noticed that the UK amazong offers very cheap blu ray boxsets, which sometimes make me wonder if they are real blurays.eg - band of brothers complete series - GBP17, Matrix 1,2,3 only GBP16, MI 1,2,3 GBP16 etc. Compared to US version, these prices are super cheap, even cheaper than the ahem copies. Has anybody bought this and how's the quality? |

QUOTE(arremie @ Mar 6 2010, 10:22 AM) I'm not suspecting they are bootleg BDs at all, just afraid that the cheaper ones only gives you higher compression and lower bitrates. Like the RM30 ori DVD from speedy is half the bitrates compared to the RM60 ones. Even scarier, the BDs are not from real BD transfers, but instead the MPEG-2 DVD transfers converted to VC-1 format. |

QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Mar 16 2010, 01:32 AM) Just watched finished watching Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. It came to my knowledge that this movie had a run of 750 weeks in India. Dude, just wondering where you source your bolly BDs?Back to blu-ray review, i must admit its definitely a must see in blu-ray format, credits to Yash Raj Films for keeping the quality of this 16 years of age title in store and authored it for HD view. For god sake, the movie has 11-12 songs , mesmerizing , just have to watch for the colorful and gracefulness of the choreography. Although the movie was a bit grainy, brightness & contrast settings made the movie much efficient on FULL HD LCD.. Probably i need to watch this over a FULL HD LCD. AQ is decent enough for a classic 1995 movie. Overall , decent picture although grainy, decent audio 5.1 and this is a classic collection for SRK fans and blu-ray collectors. |

I sometimes throw away the slip covers just because they don't look nice with other BD/DVD in the cabinets. From now on, I will keep my slip covers... maybe can sell @RM40 per piece later haha ...@sKyWiR3pT3lTd - dont worry.......if no one said anything u wouldnt even realise its missing..... |

QUOTE(andy_lhc @ Apr 15 2010, 03:36 PM) u should go I have 2 or 3 BDs from UK with back cover info of Region B. But playable on Reg A player. So far info from http://bluray.liesinc.net/ is very accurate. More accurate than the BD back cover also http://bluray.liesinc.net/ or http://www.blu-ray.com/ for more accurate information........... Btw, I give up buying from amazon UK coz the cheaper BDs they sell have "For Rental or Resale" stickers and the video bitrates are around 15-25 Mbps only. But the expensive ones like around GBP18 have full bitrates of 40Mbps |

QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Apr 15 2010, 05:46 PM) Are you sure that your Region A player plays Region B BD? As far i know , i used to have Ratatouille Region B, i tried playing on PS3, it never go through. I use local Sony DBP-S360 and all these BDs with Region B label are by Sony entertainment (coincidence?). And yes they play on the player!Only managed to play on BDROM after region Code h**k. Strange. Lucky ones u r.. |

QUOTE(azbro @ May 7 2010, 12:59 PM) Just be careful dude.. they are cheap but they are mostly substandard BD press. The expensive ones around 17 pounds are OK. I got 4-5 cheap titles from UK all have sticker "FOR RESALE OR RENTAL" on the cover ... wtf, and the video bitrates are not impressive at all - average 15Mbps only. PQ same or slightly better than DVD. But SQ are no issue. Example of titles with this are - Stealth, The patriots, Tear of the sun, Serenity. Now, I'm ordering back from US - more expensive, but I got REAL BD |
