Actually my 1st one ship by them can track, that is last year December or earlier January this year, after that, it never work already.

It seems mine is opposite with you. haha! and definitely don't want i-parcel, it is blacklisted for me.

Actually, there is another alternative, buy both separately and it is cheaper now if buy separately.  This book already released.

Yup, you are correct, I do check and notice purchase separately is much more cheaper, not sure what kind of Exclusive are.

I am going to take the normal edition, not interesting with the book itself, some more is double price if getting it.

Does anyone notice it showed region B in amazon UK?

All BBC UK series was showing Region B all the while. But from previous all the copy I buy (include Planet Earth, Life, Natural History Collection - Nature's Great Events | South Pacific | Galápagos | Wild China, Human Planet & Earth - Earth: The Power of the planet & How Earth Made Us) - all is Region Free but may not playable for USA country only due to the hz use is different. No issue for us (unless you are using PS3 US edition, then it not working).

That normal edition no idea is same as US digipak or just normal amaray packaging with slipcover.

But the TIN case edition is gorgeous! slightly expensive £12.09 compare with normal edition.

Oh! PQ ah, it just normal for me. Not striking like others transfer from what I seen. Definitely clear and details than DVD, but not a huge jump. Anyway it ain't bad for me. I need to see the real BD before I can rating on it. From sample photos, it looks fine just not spectacular.

Hopefully, all MIA will arrive tmr before end of world! haha! My god! How could Harold Camping make second attempt prediction! His first prediction on 21/May/2011 not happening. Now "Camping said he believed that a "spiritual" judgment had occurred on that date, and that the physical Rapture would occur on October 21, 2011, simultaneously with the destruction of the universe by God." - I get the news from Singapore Channel 8 few minutes ago.

sometimes its not about the "boom boom boom", its about the surround biggrin.gif

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

Maybe I will source around a HTiB one day.

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.

QUOTE(ronaldkwok @ Oct 22 2011, 09:09 AM)
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.  thumbup.gif Just my view. (BTW, this only applies to those BD with good AQ, some are just like in 2.0 only.)
*
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.


QUOTE(johnbluraylover @ Oct 22 2011, 03:03 PM)
hi all,

something very funny to share with, about our CUSTOM blush.gif

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,  cry.gif they gave me the package item code no.
3 - this morning before i went to CUSTOM, my AMZ DE 4 shipments all arrived!  rclxms.gif
however, all 4 items are not the item kena tahan,  hmm.gif if based on the item code from the CUSTOM letter
4 - i kind of consued,  rclxub.gif so i tried to call custom 4 to 5 times to verify, but no body answer the call vmad.gif
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!  mad.gif 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.

brother ANDREW & NAZ,

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 biggrin.gif
*

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.

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