and for those to bragged about lossless PCM or trueHD tracks:

Best Audio Quality:  Transformers (HD DVD), Paramount Home Entertainment

the irony  cool2.gif

LOL!!! laugh.gif "Transformers" winning the audio award is not about the audio format, or the disc format for that matter. It's more because of the movie itself. The movie contains a lot of action, with unique, electronic sounds that is out of this world (pun intended laugh.gif ). I bet all my BDs that "Transformers" will be a sure winner no matter what disc format it's on (for this year's awards, at least).

Even without lossless audio, the Dolby Digital Plus track was encoded at 1.5 mbps, that's a lot of data per second already. When "Transformers' is released on BD, I can't even imagine how spectacular the audio will be, that we could have a Linear PCM lossless 6.9 mbps track. drool.gif rclxm9.gif

And what really make me laugh is that they couldn't put lossless audio for the "Transformers" HD-DVD just because the ran out of space!! laugh.gif So, imagine the possibilities with BD!

Does anyone out here want to challenge what I feel suits my films better in terms of look. I see every frame of my films over a hundred times before it is ever released. I know the lighting conditions I shot it and the result on the DI. I know the range. I know what the final product should look like - Blu Ray suits my films better. But that said - I don't a care about this format war because I have both formats in my screening room - I'm just filling you in on what people deep in the film industry feel ultimately is going on -

Transformers looks great even in DVD!!

End-of-year bonus question, choose the ones that describes yourself best:

A. Fictitious, mythological creature, related to elves or dwarves.
B. A person who is deliberately inflammatory on the Internet in order to provoke a vehement response from other users
C. A slang term for gay men who wander about looking for sex or potential partners
D. Patent, a derogatory phrase describing an individual or company with a patent portfolio containing patents, which it never intended to commercialize

Please conclude what do all those have in common?

Yes, old titles most of them are region free, when no more cinema showing around the world. This region thing is about that.

RATATOUILLE is region-coded, because certain countries in EU still showing in theatres... laugh.gif laugh.gif

So CARS, old title, is region free.

even at 3 for 2, it's like buying at normal price in US....


Added on December 6, 2007, 10:24 amand with current kastam very active...a bit scared to buy also....maybe they want to meet year end collection target.....

Agreed. Expensive.

Order not more than 3 titles per shipment, safer. More than that the kastam got itchy hands.

The Buy 1 Free 1 Deal strikes back again :

Blu-ray Disc Buy 1 Free 1 Deal

specifically i am waiting for the Planet Earth with the xtra features on blu-ray and it's recently release on the UK amazon site . here is the review i found :

"Let me help you understand. We specifically waited for this release of Planet Earth on Blu-ray (as opposed to the earlier 4 disc release) because it was advertised as having all of the "making of" extras. It doesn't (and I don't care if they were filmed in HD or not) "

meaning the fact is there is no xtra contents ? anyone can comment on this ?
*
You should pass this one if you're expecting the extra features. Refer my earlier post:

QUOTE(aiman04 @ Dec 4 2007, 07:36 AM)
There is a 5-disc edition that is out already. Go here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Planet-Earth-Compl...96724202&sr=8-2

But yes, no actual making-ofs (diaries and "The Future" episodes) like the DVD edition, the fifth disc only contain two extra episodes of the Natural World: "Desert Lions" and "Snow Leopards". AND it's not actually 1080p for this release, but 1080i only. Bummer.

I think we should pass this edition too.
*
The 1080i is actually for the whole 11 episodes, not just the extras.

Not necessarily. It depends on nasib.

Like POP, bought 14 BDs, lepas. Or maybe he put something under table. laugh.gif tongue.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

From my 5 years experience buying DVDs and BDs at Amazon, never once I kena. (ckp besar lagi, sweat.gif sweat.gif ). But I always buy 3 items only per shipment.

I also use DHL mostly, I think they can kaotim with kastam somehow. If I use DHL, never got any delay, like kastam never even bother to look. Always arrive within 3 days.

DHL one quite expensive la.

Go here:

For DHL check Priority International Courier.

But standard pun OK, you'll get it in 10 days including weekends. Cheaper. Like I said, not necessarily kena tax, depends on nasib.

Tabik sama lu POP. So jeles...

Why "Close Encounters" casing so thick ar? Thought only 2 discs.

Also planning to get "Close Encouners" and "2001" soon... Err, not so soon actually. No budget already.

I guess you must have also pre-ordered "Blade Runner" 5 discs. drool.gif

Those who's selling their BDs in the trading thread will have to lower their price now. sweat.gif whistling.gif

People can get new BDs for just over RM60 now. This BOGO sale is happening very frequently now. And christmas is getting closer. rclxms.gif

I think local retailers like Speedy will have to lower their price too. RM150 per title? We can get 2 titles and still pay less than that now! rclxms.gif
