QUOTE(johnbluraylover @ Apr 23 2011, 10:21 AM) haha it's ok bro..understandable..diff people hv diff interpretation of beautiful "pic quality".. steelbook arrived this morning. in good condition, AMZ CANADA used fill-air inflatable packaging to protect the disc, AMZ CANADA is my 1st choice now.  Added on April 23, 2011, 10:32 am a home entertainment disc is to present the movi in the way that the movi director intended to, WAR OF THE WORLD is meant to be grainy, so the BD present it in grainny way. it is faithful to director's intention. check out the review: http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/42562/war-of-the-worlds/ http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/3125/waroftheworlds.html i am not arguing that WAR OF THE WORLD has no grain, i am saying the grainy look is natural & faithful to the movi original look. it is the best presentation of the movi original look. if it is not original & failure in transfer, DVD TALK REVIEW, BLURAY.COM & BLURAY HIDIFDIGEST would not give iy 4 /4.5 star rating. the movi applied heavy grain reduction is FRENCH CONNECTION & PREDATOR, both received bad reviews. Not an arguement, brother, but a personnel opinion, and it is my cup of tea.  I for one, is going with the idea of current manufacturer(most) of visual devices..."Life Like" pic quality  |

I bought the Inception Briefcase from them and the packaging was excellent except some other issue with the item which has been resolved. Customer Service is extremely slow in replying queries. I suggest you'd be careful buying from them. |

Guys, I need super quick advice from you.
Recently bought a boxset from Amazon which contains 3 movies. Apparently one of the case broken when I received. Nothing wrong with the movie (disc) - only the blue case got broken. Contacted Amazon and they claimed that they can't send me an empty case. They can only give me 2 option - full refund of the boxset or send replacement for the entire boxset Err...I told them that there is nothing wrong with the paper boxset - only the blue plastic case got broken in one of the movie. I felt that it will be pretty unfair if they have to replace the whole boxset whereby I am only complaining that one of the bluecase got broken. They are waiting for my reply - how, how, how? |
