this year title...
where got buy...

According to www.blu-ray.com's database, there are 36 titles got Dolby TrueHD 7.1 (Only 30 BDs got English: Dolby TrueHD 7.1 out of total 36 BDs ).

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/search.php?k...h&action=search

5 BDs released in 2008
23 BDs released in 2009
7 BDs released in last year
1 BD released in this year.

Anyway, according to www.blu-ray.com database, 2151 BDs used DTS-HD Master Audio whereas only 806 BDs used Dolby TrueHD.

Maybe DTS-HD Master Audio is backwards compatible with DTS whereas TrueHD is not backwards compatible with Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby Digital that cause studios prefer to use DTS-HD Master Audio instead of Dolby TrueHD. At least, if player don't have DTS-HD Master Audio decoder, you still can listen to DTS sound.

Cabut...

From review overall, this German limited edition new release shall be in new transfer as it look far better and in correct aspec ratio of 1:85.

Beside this the audio track is lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 where not available in previous UK release.

The disc is also BD50 rather than previous release which is BD25 and is region free where you can choose language for menu as well. Well done and love it.

Good try though..

Having waited till 5pm yesterday for my missing shipment, i decided to write to AMZ UK for any remedial actions. To my delight, i received a prompt reply within 15 minutes of my email. These were what they wrote :

Hope they don't charge you if the parcel comes through..

if your estimated delivery date is 21 Feb 2011, please allow another extra 3-5 days before writing to them.

u r using Standard Shipping, not courier express, so dont expect it arrive directly on that day...moreover it depends on our local Pos Malaysia's efficiency.

Gulp.......... really ? Would they really do that ? But anyway, all i want is to get my BDs.

In that reply email, i was asked to wait for a further few days untill 27th February, after which if i still have not received anything, then i can make final report to them. I totally din't expect them to respond (refund shipping cost) to me so fast..........

For those interested in this Ultimate Edition of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, this Ultimate Edition will release in 4 months time.

By the way, my Seabiscuit is arriving!

Don't mean to curb your enthusiasm, but it's a standard reply from them,mate.

Yeah...... silly me .

Anyhow, kudos to them for replying to me.

I think what he mean is, he was delightfully surprise by the Amazon's swift action.

I had no idea why are you so hurry write a report to Amazon where everyone is asking you waiting for just another few more days.

Estimate reach on 21/Feb/2011 is their timing not local here, yesterday is not even yet 21th for them. Some more you need to count delay may due to custom issue and some transportation issue and etc.

You will only get such standard respond if you report that earlier where didn't much help in overall.

As promise, here the review in details.



Trainspotting is by far one of the masterpieces of Danny Boyle direct film beside his award winning slumdog millionaire. Great directing and strong acting has bring out the beauty of drugs in this film. Some may find it over beauty the use of drugs, but for me this is the best part making such wonderful film.

Packaging
Thanks Universal Studio make this better packaging than any release at the moment worldwide. Love the Quersteelbook design and the use of one of the origin poster as cover.

Beside the BD, they is another orange paper disc with main actor/actress face + some dialog from the film beginning. This part is kinda cool.

Picture Quality
From net review in overall, I find all the transfer quality is not good, but in this latest release it seems far better where I give 4 star for it picture quality transfer. The release is squeeze everything in BD50 rather than previous version only in single layer BD25.

The transfer is clean, but they do some slightly jerking in certain scenes, not much just few which still in acceptable level as this is considere a budget film during filming on year 1996.

Overall the whole film is free of grains, only a small grains appear in outdoor scenes. Slighly DNR issue is spot but not affecting your viewing experience of the film in overall.

Color & tones is perfectly render, this is by far the best quality I ever seen in trainspotting.

Audio Quality
Agains thanks Universal Studio decide transfer the audio in lossless quality DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 which gains perfect audio experience for the entire film as audio is important in this film where it help pleasing the overall view.

This is another great part for this release rather than UK release which only lossy audio track is included.

I give full mark fot it audio transfer.

Extra Features
Some of the extra footage is the same as you seen in 1st release DVD edition, they do added some interviewing on year 2003 footage in this release. I check the contents it seems same as others release as well. All extra features in SD.

Beside this, I like to point out the disc is region FREE which means play everywhere and the main menu is option for you to choose what languages to start of, means they is no worried on menu selection.

Overall I give this a must have for fans that apprieciate this film.

Yep. Kudos.

nice steelbook...

Will they ever charge if the item arrives after been refunded?

From what I gather from the info by the veterans here, if it arrives after you have been refunded, you have the duty to inform them and ask for instructions. They will then either:

1) Request that you return it to them, and state the postage cost so that they can refund you; or
2) Ask you keep it as a gift.
