yeah bro Andrew, go get a HT system. (HTIB : RM999-RM1999)

sometimes its not about the "boom boom boom", its about the surround

Surround, yeah! it do improve on viewing experience, not boom boom bang.

Maybe I will source around a HTiB one day.

Me too

To enjoy your BD 100% you really must see the PQ and hear the AQ as they both work hand in hand (or eye and ear in this case). For those of you still not having a home theatre (either in a box or in many boxes) you are missing a large part of the fun. You don't really need a 7.1 system but at least a 5.1 system (or 5.0 for those not into the boom boom bang) to feel the ambience and immerse yourself inside the movie. You need not spend a fortune (unless you have one) and can always start with a basic one. Space should also not be an issue, just look at my setup in this thread, post #1303 and #1318. This is definitely not an ideal case but good enough for me to enjoy my BD collection. Just my view. (BTW, this only applies to those BD with good AQ, some are just like in 2.0 only.)

mee three... my HT is kinda out dated, really need some upgradin'

Hi Bro,

Its not all about loudness.. u get a clearer dialog too cos of a dedicated ctr channel - tats why u find it hard to catch wif jus de tv spkrs. .plus if u hv decent spkrs, it makes de musical score really make you feel de vibes tat was meant to be..
Overall it jus make movie watchin closer to wat de director intended..

D

I am impressed..... by your racks of books! it's a mini library. Haha

on a serious note, looks like your HT set up is little space consuming.

hi all,

something very funny to share with, about our CUSTOM

1 - i placed 1 order around RM440, AMZ DE break to 4 shipment & send it all out together
2 - i received a letter from CUSTOM my shipment kena tahan, they gave me the package item code no.
3 - this morning before i went to CUSTOM, my AMZ DE 4 shipments all arrived!
however, all 4 items are not the item kena tahan, if based on the item code from the CUSTOM letter
4 - i kind of consued, so i tried to call custom 4 to 5 times to verify, but no body answer the call
5 - so i went to CUSTOM to figure out, i thought AMAZON might send some gift for me, or this is the lost items (few months ago, i got few MIA items)

guess what, CUSTOM made a mistake, it is not my package! it is a big box belongs to some other dudes. How could CUSTOM made such mistake? and guess what, as usual, no apology been given, the custom officer is as cool as ARNORLD in TERMINATOR 1 (bad guy). after he realiesd they made mistake, he quickly took away my letter, he kept asking me haven't i received my package, i purposely said no, so he asked me to go home & wait for it.

it took me 2 hours,.

but the good news is AMAZON DE improved the packing a lot!, i mean really a lot!!!!

all steelbook arrived in excellent condition. wrap up nicely, after open a big box, then came with another small box with bubble wrapping.

in future, AMZ DE is my 1st choice for steelbook.

i think all of us are not saying u guys need to buy a fancy loud n expensive HT system, what we tryin to point out is instead spend RM1K in bluray, u might spend a little bit less, save a portion , may be 30% in your HT system, think of this way, 1 HT can allow u to have dif experience on all your existing hundreds bluray

Ya, surrounding do make impact on movie experience. But I am a kind of watching film as I feel it, I won't buy a film just for how great the sound output are if the film itself is bad.

Thanks for the reply, actually I own before a HTiB during DVD time, I know how it sound, and surround do impressive, but I am surprise impress with my current Samsung TV sound quality as well, origin setting sound is awful, but after some adjustment, it sound as great as you can't believe it is out from a TV set.

That the main reason I not so hurry on purchase another HTiB or HT (probably won't forever) set.

Thanks for the experiences sharing. as for HT system, still not for me at the moment, maybe one fine day when Blu-ray player is release as region Free, I will grab one, but definitely not now.

Tomorrow early morning at 1 am (our local time), there is one interesting Gold Box Deal:

Upcoming Deal
Help stop the Lord of Darkness in High-def

Be prepared.

Typical..

Govt dept mentality.. tink they are god..
I dont tink he will apologize [ unless he remembered his PR 'kursus' ] - its too beneath him but if not mistaken de letter u rcvd is not frm him but frm sumbody else [ could it be frm de main KL receiving kastam house?? ] , he just handle de receipts..
I kena once to go collect a less than rm500 pckg .. but aftr I jack jack a bit - he did say they shouldnt have sent to his dept cos its less than rm 500..

Anyway.. its gud to hear tat everytin turned well ..

In spite of de lost time/effort..

Both Robin Williams movies posted above are excellent. Great cast, acting and stoyline.

All 3 I want..

I likee Robin Williams ever since Mork ..

Danny d Dog is great too..

D

All 3 I skip, ops! I never so like on Robin Williams, I think I seen most his old film, but till now seems not much is given me a reason for purchasing the BD as collect / re-watch. Maybe the only I will grab possibility is Good will Hunting. The rest... sorry... never in my wish list before.

As for Unleashed, it ain't bad but not in my purchase list as well.

at least u should try dead poets society. great movie (watch when i wa sin secondary school back in 90's.

I can't remember I watch it before or not, I just read the description at Amazon, I think I watch before. Anyway, seen it before or not, I am fine with it.

IMO..

Dead poets society is an academically inclined [read school type flick ] n is similar to Good will Hunting.. I prefer Dead Poets society but then again Good will hunting got a young n fledgeling Ben Affleck n Matt Damon [ they are buddys in real life too ] la
