BD technology is a good successor to LD as VCD and DVD was never a good replacement for LD . The PQ and AQ of a BD is definitely better than a LD . I enjoyed watching LD during the 90`s but the BD technology is exciting and access to movies are more than then time LD `s was the technology .Unfortunately during that time we had the LD player the LD `s were so expensive and we were only able to rent them. The size of the LD was also huge and was prone to damage . I hated flipping the disc to watch the 2nd part of the movie as sometimes the movies are long and needed more space . Bd`s resolved many of the issue that LD`s had . I prefer BD`s anytime over LD`s .

I, once saw a demo of LD movie , i think it was Titanic..at Sungei Wang.
Was happy with Video presentation but it was way far from affordable.

Yeah , really pricey and not many movies available here . The store we used to rent from had hundreds of title all imported . They close down a few years back after pirated DVD`s invaded the market .

Shipping gonna cost more than item price .

wow

long time no drop by

less and less ppl posting it seems?

all balik kampung for cny d?

Watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang recently.

Movie :
Decent flick. Slightly long, but my 8yr daughter loved it. My 5 yr old son, was a little restless. Songs were fun. The middle of the story was rather long winded, but its from a different era anyway.

PQ:
Excellent transfer. Grains preserved but not overly so. Details fantastic. Colours bold. 4.5/5 for sure

AQ:
The beginning of the movie starts with no picture but the sound of cars moving around ur room using all the 7.1 speakers in ur system. Really good panning. AQ is top notch. 5/5 for sure. Songs are well done, did not hear any distortion. I did hear a slight hiss if I bump up the volume close to reference, but thats about it.

Thank you for the review , i havent watch this movie yet .

Good to know what rocks your boat, my friend

Hehehehe , scary .

Just watched the 5th episode of Band of Brothers.

I bought from Amz UK... just wondering is the AQ tranfer rate averaging 2.1mbps only? I believe it's quite low for current DTS HD MA standard.

Watch 1 episode of Spartacus and really wonder why is it so highly rated. It look like some budget movie with lots of computer editing and some softcore porn too. Not even near what I expect.
