If you fancy old school rock band, get Rush R30 Blu-ray, Rush "Snakes & Arrows Live" Blu-ray. Don't miss the Big Four Live (Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax) as well.

Actually I do watch Pirated b4, so I knew pirated copy vs original.

Pirated BD:

• A lot having huge judder issue. It is damn terrible on judder when scenes rotate / turn around (either from left to right or top to bottom). PQ wise is quite similar, but the judder issue is killing me off.
  
• Extra features will be cut off if the extra content is long.
  
• 100% all is 25GB.
  
• Some Sound track has been change to lower quality format, not the origin track. Example the pirated version I own on Celine Dion - A New Way, they change the sound track and all the extra is missing - that why I get original 
  
• A lot languages subtitle add on, which is far more than original, normally they will add in chinese subtitle, and due to a lot add in but it did not change at menu which means you only can get others subtitle during movie playback. Some subtitle languages is mess up where you choose Eng is not Eng but may come up is Fra and etc.
  
• Some disc have scenes jumping or recording incorrectly.
  

So I still support on ORIGINAL BD

** I do buy some movie in pirated / download as I know not worth to get original, example "Piranha 3D"

I also bought pirate BD but recently the original from Amazon alot cheaper than pirate especially the boxset... example... bourne Trilogy pirate RM75 (RM25x3)... Amazon UK RM90 (plus shipping)... The pacific RM135 pirate... I got original from Amazon us RM147 (plus shipping)

Yupe, it is worth getting original than pirated

How much does pirated Blu-ray cost for a single title? And for box-set?

Didn't know we can talk about Jack Sparrow stuff in here.

General question.
Not inviting to discuss any further. Just for FMI only.

Never bothered about non-genuine titles but would like to know how much they cost.

Which one r? Can share r sifu.. saw alot of it when I was in Hong Kong but didnt ask cuz the sales there 'got those one kind look'. 

from jack sparrow shop in Amcorp..

2 version...

1- BDR-Z (low AQ transfer rate) Special feature mostly intact - RM18 per BD.

2- BDR better AQ transfer rate on par with original but special feature mostly not available - RM25 per BD

both version got good PQ transfer rate but unmatcheable againts original BD.

Hmm, better stick with the genuine copy. Thanks anyway..just wanted to know..

Original is the best . I have a few friends who love to buy pirated BD`s and after a while the BD`s dont work on their PS3 anymore . 

How much does pirated Blu-ray cost for a single title? And for box-set?

Single title at JB is around RM 25, and if buy 5 titles  = RM 100. No box set yet at the moment.

Sorry for the naive question but at those prices for originals then why buy amazon? Singapore deal still at s$60 for 2 so still make sense.

Another question: What's the diff between LPCM and lossless codec huh? Which do you use when u have options in your BD or it depends on whether you have 2.1,5.1 or 7.1?

dont bother with pBDs, dont want to risk my BD player's lens with those discs..

stay original!

February 27, 2011 is the 83rd Annual Academy Awards presentation , We have to wait till then to find out the winner . I hope The King's Speech , Inception and 127 hours do well . If AR Rahman bags the 2 Oscar then it would be awesome .
