I thought not all digital shot in 1080i, mostly 1080p right? 1080p cameras already available long time ago.


Check his sig bro, he already got that.

Film is film, it's analogue.

Only when they're scanned for digital transfer, they do it at that 4K resolution.

For digitally shot movies/concerts/docs, they are shot at 1080i/p resolution only.

Wrong dude.

DHL or posmen or dispatch all the same. Many times members report here, their DHL shipping kena tax.

One thing only:

LUCK/NASIB

And the more items you order, the higher the chance uncle kastam kacau. Even that, it still depends on luck.

Added on March 5, 2008, 2:57 pmPS3 can only send PCM, cannot bitstream HBR audio one... PS3 can decode Dolby TrueHD internally, DTS-HD MA coming soon, for now core only. So your receiver won't light up whatever audio from PS3, only PCM.

But PS3 can bitstream standard BR audio, like Dolby Digital & DTS.

Bitstream vs PCM?

Bitstream should be slightly better, because of the jittery effect thingy. But it is so small you won't notice the difference. And please note that your receiver must have the capablity to decode the HBR in order for it to work.

That's their normal selling price. Already 32% discount.

From time to time, they will add more discount. But when it's over, the price will change back to it's usual 32%.

How much was your "DVD Upscaler with HD-DVD Capability" player? A35 is it?

BD-Live not important for me.

Most important: 4-5 stars 1080p picture & lossless audio.

And, Sony, please, I want DTS-HD MA on PS3. BD-Live can wait.

I've been monitoring Amazon prices since 2002. That's how they do business, even for DVDs.

Tesco & Carrefour here in Malaysia also using the same method.

In December, Planet Earth was $60+, last month $50+, now back to normal $60+ already. Maybe next month, or even next week, it'll even be $40+.

But it will never go higher than $68, their normal selling price for Planet Earth, which already more than 32% discount from $99 retail price.

C'mon guys, it's their normal selling price.

Plus, if you bought now even, when they lower their price next week, you can even ask for refund on the price difference.

You know the market for HD discs are still very small right? Now the next step is to encourage mass adoption of HD media.

BDA has made a statement that their next fight is over standard DVD.

The war ain't over yet. BD still have the biggest competitor ever, standard DVD.

Guys, be more positive.

30 days.

If within 30 days from the date of your order the title price drops, you can ask for refunds.

It will be credited to your credit card account within 2 days.

That's why they can't increase them prices yet.

Look what happened to DVD-Audio. It has lost to SACD, but even now SACD is dying.

Fox lowers catalog BD prices

In other news today, you Blu-ray fans should be happy with this: 20th Century Fox has just lowered the SRP of many of its older catalog Blu-ray Disc releases by $10, cutting them from $39.99 to $29.99. These include titles like Chain Reaction, Speed, Fantastic Four, The Omen etc. A select few additional titles have been price reduced by about $5 each from $39.99 to $34.99 (Kingdom of Heaven, etc). New and more recent titles remain priced at $39.99. Amazon has already started reducing their prices accordingly.

Saw you got Bourne Identity already? Then bought the trology again?

Is that A30 got DiVX Ultra or not?

Just realized, why are we talking about H**VD in a BD thread?

Samsung Cancels BD-UP5500

Samsung has announced that they have canceled plans to introduce their second generation hybrid Blu-ray and HD DVD player, the Samsung BD-UP5500, due to Blu-ray winning the format war. Their first hybrid player, the Samsung BD-UP5000, was riddled with compatibility issues, and the time line to replace the player was escalated. With the successor now canceled, it appears Samsung will slowly leave the dual format player market.

Added on March 6, 2008, 1:27 pmShhh! Circuit City Trading HD DVD Players for Blu-ray

Circuit City is allowing customers to trade in their HD DVD players and apply the original sales price toward the purchase of new Blu-ray players.

As first reported by Gizmodo earlier today (and confirmed at a Washington-area Circuit City this afternoon by High-Def Digest), the unpublicized offer is giving in-the-know customers a second chance at making the jump to high-def.

The offer only applies to players sold in the last 90 days, but that should give those who received HD DVD players for the holidays enough time to trade in their gifts for the winning next generation format. You must return the player in the original box with all of its accessories in order to qualify. Considering the price differences between the two player formats, there will likely be additional costs in making the exchange.

Note that this offer only applies to players and not to HD DVD discs.

Don't worry, ID4 is coming out next week at Amazon. Much cheaper than Sony Style.

Too ganas for me. Needs fantastic action, not gores. I have to skip.

Still waiting for First Blood to be re-released, the current one got no lossless audio.

This post has been edited by aiman04: Mar 6 2008, 02:24 PM

Me likes First Blood only. Others also not kaki...

Yeah, this thread shouldn't be in a sub-forum anymore, not even in the Consoles Couch, not in Audiophiles.

There should be a forum called something like "High-Definition World" in the Special Interest section.
