Try getting the 5 disc Collector's edition. Its a must have classic.. Besides the alternate endings that I heard, is there any difference in PQ and AQ getting the single disc version?

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 6,022 posts Joined: Oct 2004	QUOTE(Jenn77 @ Jan 28 2011, 10:25 AM) Ouch.. it seems the 2 items above is not recommend after I check in the Bluray.com forums as for HTTYD, there is a missing feature & for TSOM, the PQ transfer is not as good as US edition. Anyway just ordered my HTTYD from Amazon US, a good way to keep the niece & nephews on the sofa during CNY. After AD's detail comparison.. ordered TSOM also... just 1month stop buying then now buying back? how much different the PQ can be on animation movies? if you saying missing feature i can believe it..but PQ not the same..i hard to believe it.. anyway who the 'someone' posted the different ratio? QUOTE(fit @ Jan 28 2011, 10:37 AM) I am new to Bluray, can anyone explain to me in detail how to set up and order Bluray movie from Amazon US /UK ? What is the waiting period and Custom ruling as well. instead of asking here... you should go to amazon.com and click on the help... all the info you need is there

Spirits Of Shankly Senior Member 6,059 posts Joined: Feb 2010 From: Cheras, Kuala Lumpur	Source : blu-raystats.com The Blu-ray market share was 20% again for the week ending January 16th, according to Home Media Magazine. The revenue was off a little compared to last week at $26.98M, up 27% over last year. The Social Network from Sony Pictures easily took first place ahead of Warner’s strong selling Inception in 2nd place with roughly a quarter of the sales.Sony also did well with The Other Guys and Piranha 3D taking 3rd and 4th positions ahead of The Expendables from Lionsgate in 5th. Recent releases The Town from Warner took 6th place, The A-Team from Fox with 7th position and Machete, also from Fox, in 8th place. New release Alpha and Omega from Lionsgate had to settle for 13th place, while the new 20th Anniversary release for Dances with Wolves release from MGM took 16th place. On the marker share side of things, promotionally priced Blu-ray titles sold particularly well this week. Top seller all round The Social Network scored well with a solid 45% Blu-ray market share, though on this count Inception was the winner with 59% of sales on Blu-ray Disc. Piranha 3D was another strong selling new release with 47% market share, while Alpha and Omega skewed more to DVD with only 23% market share. Titles that outsold their DVD counterparts included The Other Guys with 57%, The Town with 55%, The A-Team with 66% and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice from Disney with 68% of sales on Blu-ray Disc. At the other end of the scale we have Dinner for Schmucks from Paramount with a market share of 19% and Easy A from Sony Pictures with 17% market share. P/S : The Social Network , Inception , The Town , A-Team would be a good buy. Bit disappointed with Alpha & Omega. QUOTE(specuvestor @ Jan 28 2011, 11:47 AM) Thanks.

As expected The Social Network and Inception is doing well in BD sales but the action thriller Takers was the top-selling title on Blu-ray during the week ended January 23. Top ten 1. • Takers 2. (1) The Social Network 3. (15) Salt 4. (2) Inception 5. (10) Despicable Me 6. (14) Resident Evil: Afterlife 7. • Buried 8. (6) The Town 9. • Justified: The Complete First Season 10. • Death Race 2

Btw, do not know Bluray.com realize their mistake, this RB got 1 BD (Region Free) & 1 DVD (Region B) as told by some of the owners. But in their Discs it says 2 BD, furthermore most of the features is in the region locked DVD. Anyone got this copy can verify? Cause the price is very affordable now...
