QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ May 17 2011, 03:31 AM) Audio: The sound creates intense, really blasted well. I could feel the strong vibration from the sub-w (although channel through 2.1 setup). Its good work out for your HT (if you have one) The audio for the Title Screen buildup from the credits right to the Terminator Logo->que the famous Terminator theme Drum sequence...That sends shivers down my spine always  |

Short X-Men Origins : Wolverine BD Review
This disc comes with 2 Disc edition 1BD , 1 DVD (Digital copy inclusive, expired though) ; obviously with an ordinary slipcover. The film on Blu-ray looks great, as it should do. The picture is absolutely stunning; there's just enough grain but wasn't a major distraction. Details looked good but the CGI looked rather poor at certain scenes. (X-men 1,2,3 CGI looked great though). The DTS 5.1 was good, and very loud, and showcases the film's audio well. There's a decent amount of extras on the disc , but nothing to underline. Go for the video and audio, storyline no...  This post has been edited by sKyWiR3pT3lTd: May 17 2011, 09:09 AM |

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ May 17 2011, 02:55 AM) On hold, not going to take any more this month me got the UK version, but your photo looks nicer than my actual product. hahaSure it still have promotion in future Beside this, after checking around, I am more prefer on UK edition packaging and yes! UK always reduce price faster for documentaries. Screenshot From Others Forum: UK edition:    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UK New Edition? - It seems the packaging already change.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- US Edition   ** They is plenty of people complaining about the aspect ratio of this as it has change to 16x9 but actual is 4x3 (in DVD time), I am ok with it and I don't might, since I never watch before, from blu-ray.com footage it seems well aspect ratio switching.  the best war doc i enjoyed is the FRANK CAPRA US WHY WE FIGHT. me got the DVD and watched it many times. this WORLD AT WAR me got > 6 months, but cannot even sit through 1 episode, not criticising, just personnely don't enjoy it some much. by the way, it is region free. |

Not sure if you can change it, from what i read in the web , there seems to be a way to give it a shot with your remote control. Official LG site states its not possible to change region code.

As I know we can't change blu-ray region code from remote control yet for any player in the market.
Only the DVD region part for your blu-ray player is changeable for certain model in the market. |

Sometimes there's nothing much can be done even if you're careful because in my case both parcels ordered 4 separate days apart but luck was not on my side when one of the title in the first order was not in stock... and when it does, they shipped that order when the 2nd order was made & shipped too....  |
