Lets talk about Blu-Ray smile.gif My 1st BD news ...

Fox Preps 'Predator' Blu-ray

In an early announce to retailers, Fox has set an April Blu-ray debut for the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic 'Predator.'

One of the "monster" franchises of the '80s (along with the 'Alien' series), the original 'Predator' has long been on the wishlish of early adopters for high-def release. Now Fox has heeded the call to hunt, setting an April 15 street date for the Blu-ray.

With a full press announcement still due in the coming days, there are no supplemental details yet available, but we'll keep you posted.

Tech specs are set to include 1080p video and audio flavors in DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 Surround and Dolby Digital 4.0 Surround, plus a French Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo dub.

Retail for the Blu-ray is $39.98.

You'll find disc details for 'Predator' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, indexed under April 15, 2008.

Once 'Predator' comes out on Blu-ray I will seriously consider getting a PS3. My favourite movie of all time.

The Predator movies after that are crap.

Another news ...

Fox Re-Announces 'Commando' for Blu-ray

After a delay of almost a year, Fox has re-announced Arnold Schwarzenegger's action hit 'Commando' for Blu-ray release this April.

Originally targeted for release back in March of 2007, Fox unceremoniously bumped the title soon thereafter. But the wait's now over for Schwarzenegger fans, with the studio re-scheduling the Blu-ray for a April 15 arrival.

user posted image

Specs for 'Commando' remain the same as originally announced, with 1080p/MPEG-2 video and English DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 Surround audio.

Extras are minimal, with only the original Theatrical Trailer and D-Box enhancement.

Retail is Fox's standard $39.98 suggested list price.

You'll find disc details for 'Commando' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it joins another just-announced Arnold Schwarzenegger title, 'Predator' under its new date of April 15.

I've said many times, BD being close to winning the format war will not mean that HD media will cost more. Even BDA (Blu-ray Disc Association) has said that their next focus is the challenge against standard definition DVD.

Just few days after Warners announcement, BD prices are dropping like crazy. Sometimes cheaper than regular DVD. We can expect more BD BOGO to come.

At Amazon.com:

"Close Encounters of the Third Kind" - RRP: $49.95, now selling at $23.99 (previously selling at around $36). Compare the price:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Cheaper than the DVD!!

And like arj said, the "Spider-Man Trilogy" is now down to $43.49 than their previous $60+ selling price. RRP is $92.95.

"Ratatouille" and "Cars", which are fairly new titles, now drops to $19.99 only.

Maybe there are more price drop for other titles, we just need to look for it. nod.gif

Blu-ray goes Bollywood with ....

Bollywood Blooms on Blu-ray with 'Om Shanti Om'

Making their high-def debut, Eros Entertainment says they will bring the Bollywood sensation 'Om Shanti Om' to Blu-ray later this month.

The film, which broke box office records in its native India and played to packed theaters here in the US during its limited theatrical release this past November, will hit Blu-ray on January 22, day-and-date with the DVD version.

user posted image

Specs for the Blu-ray version were still sketchy at press time, with 1080p video and a collection of trailers the only confirmed details.

Eros has set a suggested retail price for the disc of $24.95.

As always, you'll find disc details for 'Om Shanti Om' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it's indexed under January 22, 2008.

all the title above effectively now USD19.94 so 8 bucks refund for each title for me . i ordered them on dec 16 hence still entitled for refund but i didnt tell them that i bought them during BOGO tongue.gif

call customer service and ask for the price match ( guide frm blu-ray.com . modified abit for Malaysia version ) tongue.gif

1. Call amazon 00-1-206-266-2992
2. Listen for a CSR with an accent. If no accent, hangup. Go back to step 1.
3. Tell CSR your order number.
4. CSR will ask for your name, email and billing address.
5. Tell CSR that so and so item has dropped in price to whatever amount and you want a price match
6. CSR will give you the refund. You don't need to send your receipt or anything that sort.
7. Hangup. Your refund will go back on your method of payment within 2-3 biz days.

i just told them i want a store credit instead of refund to my credit card so i can buy more blu ray now hehe

ok just got my 1st round of refund laugh.gif

This is getting better and better. Thanks for the heads up Synco. I should get $16.92 back! This is so awesome. thumbup.gif

I have done it using their customer service help page. Much easier, you can link your query to the related order, and they should already know the details. Plus, saves me an international phone call. biggrin.gif tongue.gif

Let's hope I an get it within 2-3 days. wink.gif

well i just use my digi chatz to call under 10 min ( 5 bucks onli ma ) i am able to get refund quicker.
my 2nd order using email frm their customer sevice page, didnt get refund , from the system they noticed i bought some titles under BOGO promo
Amazon Post Price Guarantee clearly state 'BOGO is ineligible'. laugh.gif
email usually they take like 10-12 hours to reply . But i do believe depending on who's attending your case tongue.gif
Besides most customer service especially NA seems pretty blur on those BOGO promo as for my 1st case of refund. She blindly follow what i said and compare price. Once confirmed price diff she refunded without any question.

QUOTE
Nothing has been announced, but Variety is reporting that the last two major studios backing HD DVD - NBC Universal and Paramount - are opening the door for a switch to Blu-ray. These studios have commitments to release some discs this year in HD DVD, but both have ended their exclusive commitment to that format, which is backed by a group led by Toshiba.

Don't worry about the poison, you'll have the antidote when your order arrives. tongue.gif

Whoa, I've just added so many titles into my cart blindly. But I will wait few days more, see if they drop the prices more. Not checking out yet!

OK2... just kidding la... biggrin.gif tongue.gif

Go to this page:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-us/g...Enabled=enabled

Make sure you login first. Select issue "Returns and refunds".

Click on "Email" tab, then "Choose order & Items".

Click left and right of "More orders" to select your order and titles that you want to refund (make sure you check the price you bought and the current price, that it is indeed dropped).

Make sure you bought that within a month or so, I don't think they can refund you for items you bought 3 months ago. Maybe Synco can enlighten us about this?

Then write by telling them that you noticed that the items so and so in your order numbers so and so has dropped, and ask them is it possible to get a price match.

Then say that you want a refund, or a store credit which you can use to buy more from them.

Say regards, and click send email. biggrin.gif

Or you can call them and follow the steps by Synco. wink.gif

synco... thanks... mine over 30days liao, FARK sad.gif

so many titles in my cart now... mati aku... now is 3.35 for US rate?

i always go here for exchange rate:

http://finance.yahoo.com/currency

But VISA & Mastercard has their own rate, usually rounded to 1 decimal only.

Now I think it should be 3.3 only, because on the Yahoo! page it says 3.2565.

all the title above effectively now USD19.94 so 8 bucks refund for each title for me . i ordered them on dec 16 hence still entitled for refund but i didnt tell them that i bought them during BOGO tongue.gif

call customer service and ask for the price match ( guide frm blu-ray.com . modified abit for Malaysia version ) tongue.gif

1. Call amazon 00-1-206-266-2992
2. Listen for a CSR with an accent. If no accent, hangup. Go back to step 1.
3. Tell CSR your order number.
4. CSR will ask for your name, email and billing address.
5. Tell CSR that so and so item has dropped in price to whatever amount and you want a price match
6. CSR will give you the refund. You don't need to send your receipt or anything that sort.
7. Hangup. Your refund will go back on your method of payment within 2-3 biz days.

i just told them i want a store credit instead of refund to my credit card so i can buy more blu ray now hehe

ok just got my 1st round of refund  laugh.gif

You don't have to call them... my case I was just emailed them and I got my refund few days later.

BLU-RAY NEWS:

Disney Sets Date for 'Enchanted' Blu-ray

Confirming an earlier pre-announcement, Disney has officially set a March Blu-ray arrival for the surprise blockbuster 'Enchanted.'

As we've previously reported, word of a Blu-ray release for the $100 million sleeper smash first emerged last month when Disney outlined plans for a Easter-timed arrival for 'Enchanted,' though the studio stopped short of issuing an actual street date at that time.

user posted image

Now, as a capper to this year's CES, the studio has confirmed that the Amy Adams-starrer will hit Blu-ray on March 18, day-and-date with the standard DVD.
Extras announced so far include a suite of three making-of featurettes, deleted scenes and outtakes. Exclusive to the next-gen version will be the interactive BD-Java game "D-Files."
Tech specs have yet to be revealed, but Disney tells us that the full press release is due in the coming days. We'll keep you posted.
As previously announced, retail for the Blu-ray is $34.98.
You'll find disc details for 'Enchanted' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it's indexed under March 18.

For all the refunds made by Amazon either BOGO or not, i think Amazon trying extremely hard to keep their existing customer happy and supportive.

After all they know that your future sales thats counts and keep on coming once they build confidence within you customer.

And can you imagine the total sales per day from all around globe ! Returns & refunds is just part of their business contract with us customer and considering the fact its just a small part of the deal for earth biggest online store.
Thats just one of the reason Amazon.com is so successful today.

If not mistaken, banks charge extra 1% for purchases made in foreign currency... I might be wrong though. I'm usually using Citibank or Maybank, normally they charge another RM0.04 higher than standard exchange rate.

Hi Aiman,

You using the standard mail?

I've got experience with the Deutsche Post Global Mail (not sure about IMEX).

They declared the item as

Unknown x3
DVD x1

The declaration is slapped in front of the shipment box.

so may have possibility stopped by customs. but you should get the mail from pos klia if its stopped. weird

Yes. LUCK & NASIB... That is all... I use both standard and DHL alternately all the time, never kena...

And standard one usually not that bad, always arrived within 10 days before. I think these delays may still have something to do with the recent holiday season.

Yesterday brought my PS3 over to my GF's house to test out her 46" Sony Bravia (720p only) and &%&*^*&%$ OMG... the BR quality was so awesome! Pardon me for being so like "jungle man"... I'm using my low-end 22" Dell LCD monitor all this while so the huge jump in screen quality really impresses me.

Okay, back to online order from Amazon... my previous shipment was held by custom but it was released two days later for no reason. I'm using standard shipping, wondering why they released it.

Hairspray for its thunderous soundscape, plus it's fun! biggrin.gif AvP for those gory goodness. I always have a soft spot for Anne Hathaway in Prada, Chicken Little for that amazing PQ. 2001 to satiate the Kubrick thirst in me, Hellboy to prep myself for the upcoming sequel ,Hellboy II: The Golden Army. *Super-Sapien II for you folks, it stays as Hellboy II here. laugh.gif Day After Tomorrow for those crazy-but-goody SFXs, and Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds: Live at Radio City Music Hall as the ultimate torture/showcase test for your AVR + speakers setup. Andrea Bocelli and Nine Inch Nails are also very good BDs to do this.

Also, this has just arrive today:-

......along with the DVD version as well for upscaling benchmark/tests. Comes in handy for that unrefutable benchmarks to score how your display + player stand when it comes to deinterlacing or proper cadencing HD material. The Onkyo DV-HD805 scores perfect marks for this, while Playstation@3 stays in the middle with the P1400 trailing behind, failing some of the HD tests. Going to changing my screen to either an Bravia XBR3 or a Kuro in very near future.

Coming titles in the future? Expecting Blu-ray's FIRST Profile 2.0 title, Saw IV, coming end of this month from Amazon. In the horizon? Independence Day, I Robot, Gattaca, Twister, 30 Days of Night, No Country for Old Men, and Dogma. Especially excited for Dogma for that Jay and Silent Bob banters! laugh.gif

The BD-HP20A is not a good player to go for. Mediaplex has that unit, and it has all kinds of problems playing BDs, even older ones. The only good thing about this unit is that the upgrading can be done easily by downloading the firmware into a USB thumb drive and plugging it into the USB port at the back of the unit.

HMM: HD DVD Should "Knock It Off" for Inevitable Blu-ray Victory

Home Media Magazine, the weekly industry magazine which alerts retailers and those inside the home media industry to news and releases, has posted a statement to the HD DVD Promotional Group: "Knock it off". Stating consumer confusion as the reason for lack of consumer adoption of high definition home media, magazine contributor Thomas K. Arnold has asked that HD DVD step down instead of delaying the inevitable Blu-ray victory.

With Warner Home Video dumping HD DVD, the format has the support of just two of the six major studios. It cannot win. At best, it can be a spoiler, but I'm hoping Toshiba, Universal and Paramount will take the high road and, for the good of the entire industry, bow out. Universal and Paramount, in particular, need to jump on the Blu-ray Disc bandwagon so we can go into the new year with a unified front and a unified mission: To educate consumers about the advantages of high-definition media and convince them the time to transition from standard DVD to Blu-ray is the day they bring that HDTV into their home.

depends on how far back you sitting...
dat day I saw 2 flat panel side by side, one is 1080p and the other is 854x480 SD panel plasma playing the same video signal, from 12-15ft away in the showroom, not much difference.... so if you go 1080p you should be sitting 1-1.5x screen distance to "see" what you paid for.. or else, if sitting at x2 distance, then those 1366x768p panels are usually good enuf..

May agree on that. So 1080p must get bigger one, then if sitting far the image should better than same size 720p TV. tongue.gif

Answering you both:-

After having this unit for 1 week, i can safely say i can neither recommend nor reject this unit entirely. Got it as a "probationary" unit a.k.a the loaner, until the units from CES 2008 hits the American market. Tested it with a variety of BDs, with zero audio or picture dropouts. The back says manufactured Nov 2007, maybe Sammy did better QC with the player past the October problematic players.

The daisy-chain in my setup, you all know. But I think the HDMI cables play a definitive role to ensure that there are no dropouts or glitches. My setup has all cables rated 1.3a, even though my XBR2 doesnt support Wide Color Gamut or the coveted 24p. The P1400 eats every single BD I fed it, this is after the latest firmware update. Even stubborn titles like Live Free or Die Hard and RE: Extinction loads fine, although the load time can be teeth-grating.

I got this for free, and for all that it's worth, it us a good player. It doesnt load Extinction's PiP at all, the option to do that wasn't even visible. It is a Profile 1.0 player after all. But everything else works, DTS HD-MA on Shoot 'eM Up sound phenomenal. The HQV benchmark tests I did for this player scores it below the Onkyo DV-HD805 and the PS3, failing the cadence and film resolution loss test.

I'd still recommend waiting for the Panny DMP-BD30/50 to hit the market, or if you already have the PS3, stick with that. The PS3 should be getting the Profile 2.0 once Saw IV releases end of this month.

that's for sure la.. when you see a spec 0.1mm of black dirt on the white wall at 10cm away doesn't mean you will still see it standing 10ft away unless you got some sort of zoom binoculars mah..

that's for sure la.. when you see a spec 0.1mm of black dirt on the white wall at 10cm away doesn't mean you will still see it standing 10ft away unless you got some sort of zoom binoculars mah..

I got PS3 already, want to buy a pure Blu Ray for my room, my missus will not allow me to play console games in the room not even a pc, laptop an exemption, outside the room can. So i need a stand alone Blu Ray player.

Since Stringfellow already suggested Panny, I might as well wait and quietly build up my Blu Ray collections. Thanks for the tip, a long way to go for me, only have the Sony 46 Full HD in my room, sound system have not figured out yet... need to get approval from the Home Ministry first.. hehehehehehe... so many request for this year, hopefully can get approval...

Wish list for 2008.
1 * new car
1 * new bicycle
1 * personal work space
1 * new gf... (just kidding) hope she doesnt read this....

The Panasonic BD30 is considered by many to be the best player currently. Hoping to get it later this year when the price goes nearer to US$300 after the BD50 comes out. Still selling for US$400+ at the moment hmm.gif

Contemplating to get a 4wd, so that I can bring my bike everywhere, so sayang to put on the bike rack... The bike i want to purchase is De Rosa King 3 with Sram Red... (yeah yeah out of the topic again.)

Im watching closely this BD30 since last dec very closely.. tempted to get it too..

USD 429.99 + USD 125 (shipping) = RM17++

also this Sammy BDP1400

USD 299 + USD 125 (shipping) = RM14++

Could we expect panasonic in malaysia retail? no?

maybe wait a bit until the Panasonic price come down a bit. B&H price also the same. Should we buy together? hmm.gif

You call that low budget?

The offer is great yes, but if that's low budget, then I have big problem with my home system. tongue.gif

I have to hide it somewhere just not to feel embarrassed. laugh.gif tongue.gif


Added on January 16, 2008, 8:45 amLook what I found:

user posted image

So, for my 720p (1080i) 37" TV, if I compare to a 1080p 37" TV, I will only see the difference if I sit closer than 8 feet. The higher the resolution, the viewing distance must be shorter to see the difference.

I usually watch my movies around 7-8 feet away, so I guess my current TV is good enough. however, I may still consider a 1080p TV in the future. wink.gif

Bluray movies update:

First Look: 'Dan in Real Life' Blu-ray Box Art

Its release date is still a couple of months off, but we've got an early peek at the box art for the Blu-ray bow of the Steve Carell comedy.

As we first reported last month , Disney is bringing the $50 million-grossing 'Dan in Real Life' to Blu-ray on March 11, day-and-date with the DVD.

Previously announced specs include 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video and uncompressed PCM 5.1 Surround audio (at hefty 48kHz/24-bit).

Among the extensive bonus features are an audio commentary with director Peter Hedges, three making-of featurettes ("Just Like Family: The Making of Dan In Real Life," "Handmade Music: Creating The Score"), deleted scenes, and the "Real Life" gag reel.

Now comes the first look at the title's high-def box cover art:

user posted image

As previously announced, Disney has set a suggested list price of $34.98 for 'Dan' on Blu-ray.

You'll find complete specs for 'Dan in Real Life' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it's indexed under March 11.

For Movies:

Blu-ray

REGION A
North America & Asia Pacific (including South East Asia).

More details:

DVD

REGION 1
North America only

REGION 2
Japan, Middle-East including South Africa and Europe including Greenland

REGION 3
South East Asia including HK

REGION 4
Australasia and South America

More details:

So for DVD movies, yes it depends on where you buy the PS3. For Blu-ray, should be OK.

Try to avoid movies from regions other than the above.

But not all Blu-ray movies got region coding, usually only for new titles, when some other regions may still screening in cinemas.

DVDs almost all movies got region coding.

these things happen lots of time la.. even bogo can refund for both titles price difference (even if one of them gotten for FREE!!) , or refund twice same amount for the same invoice etc.. nothing to black list... maybe they just delete the cheapest posting option since there is no parcel tracking or accountability for this option.

Assassination of Jesse James Gets Moved Up

user posted image

Warner Home Video has revealed that the DVD and Blu-ray release of 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford' will now be released on February 5th instead of the initially announced date of February 26th. The move is likely to take advantage of the pre-Oscar buzz surrounding the film. No specs have changed at this time.

Digital Playground drops HD DVD

HD DVD is losing support left and right, this time from the adult film studio Digital Playground.

About a couple dozen titles were released on HD DVD from the studio, making it the leader in high-def adult entertainment. The lucrative industry has been deemed one of the most important factors in determining the success of a new format.

The fact that HD DVD had the adult film industry on its side was seen as a big plus for it, especially because Sony was purposefully not allowing any such titles to be printed on Blu-ray Discs.

However, Sony had a change of heart, and allowed Digital Playground to start releasing its titles on BD last year. Because of the dominant force Blu-ray has in the format war, the studio has chosen to drop HD DVD support entirely, reports German publication Heise.

Digital Playground joins Warner Bros, New Line, and HBO as recent converts to Blu-ray exclusivity. HD DVD is left with just Universal, a founding member of the format, and Paramount, which reportedly received huge monetary incentives to move away from Blu-ray.

GGW is not that silicon valley I think. Maybe some la but some of the series very boring.

All about err girls pulling up their shirts in public and flashing. Thats about it. Lol so if you find that exciting, then GGW is like made for you tongue.gif

Some GGW series can be a bit hardcore.

8 juicy titles to savor tonight!

Damn, Prazole, you are absolutely right! Day After Tomorrow is frickin' awesome indeed! Pristine transfer AND DTS HD Master Audio to boot! New York City in HD, baby, I'm blown away! shocking.gif

Next up, Dave Matthews Live at Radio City for that Live-in-the-concert feeling.

Kiathoong, Fifth Element Remastered is indeed beautiful, but i'd suggest Pan's Labyrinth on Blu-ray as a showcase/reference demo material for live-action category, or Cars or Ratatouille for animated flicks. Remember to calibrate your display as well, either get an ISF-certified personnel to do the calibration for you, or if you cant get that, scour AVSForum for particular settings. Trust me, calibrated displays makes your movies shine, colors pop , temperature correct and blacks deeper.

If you still want Fifth Element Remastered, i can loan ya, but need "deposit" first. tongue.gif

Next order, on payday, the 25th. Probably group together with Saw IV. Getting Lost Season 3 on Blu-ray, that one is also deemed as "reference material".

Off to Dave's concert!

DVDs are pretty good, provided you get an upscaling player that can do it justice.

Holy $hit, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds is THE Blu-ray to get for all you music loving audiophiles out there. PCM Stereo is already phenomenal, tune to Dolby Digital 5.1 640kbps and it is like a crisp studio recording, swittch it to Dolby TrueHD, and WATCH(yes, i do mean WATCH, not listen!) your soundscape transformed into a fullblown concert hall! If you have this title, or planning to get it, IMMEDIATELY skip to the part where Dave is singing on his kapok, while Tim strums his guitar solo on the song "Crush". I swear, i kid you not, you can implicitly and clearly hear the very twangs and swishes of Tim's deft fingers hitting those guitar solos so impressively, the audience in the concert hall, FREAKING cheers and thunders the LFE channel on the subs, you swear your room is shaking from the ovation! Your center channel speaker is filled with Dave's raspy, breathy voice, while the surround fronts switches madly during Tim's masterful solos. It doesnt let up , even until these two guys were basically facing off each other battling guitar riffs at each other, and when it came to the end, the standing ovation at the end, fills your entire speaker setup, you immediately can close your eyes and FEEL like you are there. You are freaking there, baby! And all this, is mother-effin' LIVE, right infront of you, and not prerecorded and mixed in some studio, makes it even more impressive. BUY THIS, and your speakers will thank you for it!

Disclaimer: Most probably will appeal to the crowd digging Dave's choice of music, balladic rock and slow tempo music, live with guitar plucks. Hiphoppers, rappers and the like need not apply.Guitar Hero lovers will, like what happened to me just now, immediately be entranced with what's happening onscreen and offscreen with your speakers. It is like your speakers are making love with your eardrums, and they are continuously orgasming each other.

I've heard about this. felt like getting one, and after reading your review there makes me want it more than ever. thumbup.gif

But I'm not familiar with Dave Matthews. Can you story a little bit about his songs? Maybe I've heard many times, but never knew that it was his songs, you know. Has his songs been in movies? hmm.gif

Anyway, I'll look for some mp3's to listen, if it's good, maybe I'll get his concert. tongue.gif

PS: kiathoong, nice sig there!! notworthy.gif tongue.gif

Fifth Element (Remastered), yes, excellent PQ &SQ. Don't get the old one, it was bad.

Apple: Blu-ray Won the Format War

Jim Goldman of CNBC recently sat down with Steve Jobs to discuss the new and upcoming products Apple announced during the MacWorld Expo held earlier this week. Jobs was asked about the format war and if he thought Apple had usurped both Blu-ray and HD DVD with their addition of HD movie rentals to iTunes. His response was, "Clearly, Blu-ray won, but in the new world order of instant online movie rentals, in HD, no one will care about what format is where." We, of course, disagree with the "Mac Daddy" about the second part.

What he failed to mention about Apple's iTunes HD movies is that they're only encoded in 720p, half the resolution of Blu-ray, which encodes all film content at 1080p (Full HD). The result is a picture which is only half as sharp, half as colorful, and half as beautiful as Blu-ray. Furthermore, only some of the iTunes HD movies have surround sound, and those that do only make use of the archaic Dolby Digital technology. Anyone who has listened to a PCM, Dolby TrueHD, or DTS-HD Master Audio track knows that there is simply nothing that can compare to a lossless/uncompressed audio track.

I hope someone sends him a copy of 'Ratatouille' on Blu-ray soon to show him what True HD really looks like and that not all HD is created equally.

Blu-ray Extends Sales Lead After Warner Announcement

Home Media Magazine is reporting that the Nielson VideoScan data shows Blu-ray captured 85% of the high definition media market the week following the Warner Brothers exclusivity announcement. At the top of the list was Lionsgate's '3:10 to Yuma', which sold four times as many units as the second place title, Sony's 'Resident Evil: Extinction'.

The Top 10 was dominated by Blu-ray titles this week, with not a single HD DVD title selling enough units to be considered a contender. The best selling HD DVD title sold only 1/10 as many copies as '3:10 to Yuma', showing not only the popularity of that title, but also of the format in general.

But I'm not familiar with Dave Matthews. Can you story a little bit about his songs? Maybe I've heard many times, but never knew that it was his songs, you know. Has his songs been in movies?  hmm.gif

Anyway, I'll look for some mp3's to listen, if it's good, maybe I'll get his concert.  tongue.gif
yeah you better get familar with his music 1st before buying,.. may not be your cuppa of tea.. esp when it's just 2 guys on acoustic guitar...

maybe you should get Shakira BD also.. very good PQ/Audio as well... just watched that together with dave matthews BD last night..

as a guitar player/collector/fan (electric and acoustic) I can identify with dave matthews BD but I think general public would prefer shakira more.. not to mention those who like Hips and body gyration.. also comes with free 6track CD.. biggrin.gif

Single titles are around Amazon's price, but for bundles like Spidey, im not so sure. Im checking www.virginmega.com now for clarification. I may be wrong on both accounts.

GGW? Can! Kalau diorang ada jual lah. I saw a Bikini Destination and that GGW title on both BD and HD-DVD for sale at FYE there, so it's a possible prospect.

BTW, im eyeing to get that PerfectShot too. Part of the shortlisted items to get from either Gamestop or Nintendo World.

EDIT just check Virgin Megastore. Their price cannot beat Amazon, im afraid. Spidey Trilogy is selling USD65 IIANM on Amazon, while it is USD82 on the Megastore. You cant beat Amazon's price since they deal in bulk.

Ahahahah, can sure can! Hit that F5 like mad, and hope it turns USD199. tongue.gif

Bear in mind that the A35, from what i read, is fcuked up in the 1080p24 department. Judders like hell, but the upscaling is excellent. Personal preference though, some prefer ABT chipset, while im a Reon kinda guy. Reon VX chipset, NOT the JAV pornstar! laugh.gif

I got a few good news ...

Source: High Def Digest

QUOTE
Warner Brings 'I Am Legend' to Blu-ray, HD DVD

Warner has inadvertantly revealed plans to bring the Will Smith blockbuster 'I Am Legend' to high-def this spring.

Thanks to some promotional materials being shipped to retailers ahead of the official announce, we can tell you that the Blu-ray edition of the $200 million-plus grossing sci-fi smash will hit stores March 18 (day-and-date with the standard-def DVD), to be followed three weeks later by the HD DVD on April 8.

Early word is that the two high-def releases will include both the theatrical and unrated versions of the movie (complete with an alternate ending), though whether seamless branching (or some other interactivity) is involved remains unknown.

There were no further tech specs or extras details available at press time, but the studio tells us that the official media release is coming in the days ahead, so we'll certainly keep you posted.

Warner has set a suggested list price for $35.98 for the Blu-ray and HD DVD versions.
QUOTE
Fox Delays 'Master & Commander' Blu-ray (Again)

The Blu-ray release of 'Master & Commander' has hit more rough waters, with Fox delaying its planned February bow.

Originally pegged for a a high-def release on October 2, the studio eventually yanked the release citing last-minute production delays. Now Fox has pulled the plug on the Blu-ray for the second time, this time attributing the delay to marketing reasons.

user posted image

Although the studio stopped short of issuing a new street date, a Fox rep tells us that it is realigning the Blu-ray release of 'Master & Commander' to coincide with an upcoming Father's Day promotion planned for the spring.

The rep also confirmed that the same promotion will see 'Master & Commander' joined by two other Fox/MGM Blu-ray titles that were shelved late last year -- 'A Bridge Too Far' and 'Battle of Britain.'

At press time there were no plans to alter the originally announced Blu-ray specs for 'Master & Commander' upon its eventual release.

The disc's retail price will also remain unchanged at a suggested $39.98 list.
QUOTE
Fox Plots 'Hitman' Blu-ray for March

In an early alert to retailers, Fox has set a March arrival for the action smash 'Hitman,' which will come to Blu-ray in a never-before-seen unrated cut.

Scoring nearly $100 million at the worldwide box office, the Timothy Olyphant-Dougray Scott starrer will debut on Blu-ray in a new 94-minute unrated cut on March 11, day-and-date with the standard-def DVD.

user posted image

Tech specs are set to include 1080p video and DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 Surround audio, along with French and Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and subtitle options.

Due to the early nature of the retail announcement, the disc's supplemental details were not yet available, but an official media release is expected shortly -- we'll keep you posted.

Fox has set a suggested $39.95 list price for the Blu-ray.

You'll find preliminary disc details for 'Hitman' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it's indexed under March 11.
QUOTE
Blu-ray Dominates Disc Sales Chart Post-Warner Announcement

The Blu-ray camp took a decisive lead in disc sales for the week ending January 13th, the first full week following Warner's announcement that it would abandon its HD DVD support.

Though Blu-ray has outsold HD DVD in overall disc sales by a factor of nearly 2:1 since the start of 2007, last week saw the largest gulf between the two rival formats yet, with Blu-ray commanding an 85% share of all high-def discs sold.

Home Media Magazine is reporting that of the top ten high-def discs sold on either format, not a single HD DVD disc made the list, with the top-selling HD DVD disc ('The Kingdom') moving only one tenth as many units as the best selling Blu-ray title, '3:10 to Yuma.'

While it's too soon to tell whether Warner's announcement had a direct effect on Blu-ray's stronger-than-ever disc sales lead, HD DVD had been holding steady with a relatively strong 39% share of high-def disc sales in the last weeks of the 2007 holiday shopping season.

That's what i did for the Onkyo HD-DVD player, and that i believe is heavier than the Panny.

Tell you what, just keep that thought in mind, and come back to me before 16th if you are still interested. If i do buy the Panny DMP-BD30K, i arranging it to be shipped out to my LA home, so that means i can carry yours in my luggage bag. If you are comfortable with that arrangement, and the fact that it travels inside my luggage bag that will be loaded into the cargo hold, then we got a deal.

Also bear in mind that the NY state adds another 8.375% on every sales purchase as tax.

stringfellow, i am okay with the arrangement but you got to let me know the total amount...probably i will deposit when you are about to purchase it hopefully the price of the player will go lower.

my bonus is estimated to be in by end of the this month together with promotion, so that is kinda like a present for myself - including a new bike too.

How are we going to do that, bro? Once there, you may have to wait for me to get back to LA and then bring it back here. The "when im going to get back to LA" part is still undetermined, it depends on when i can get extended day offs from work. Plus, im a little bit hesitant to give our LA address to strangers,if you know what i mean. Learned that lesson with the nasty folks here.

RX, i dont like disappointing a buddy, so tell you what....... We get the dimensions/weight of both the Panny 20K and A3 boxes and see if it fits my luggage bag. If it does, then i can carry them together. Miniacs already has that portion of my luggage bag for his Panny 30K if he wants it, so if there are space left, we can fit in your A3.

If the A3 box is anything like my E1 box, then i can even hand-carry it into the cockpit. The E1 box was small enough to do that.

Discarding the boxes, i dont think that is an option, we need the styrofoams to shock-absorb the bumps.

No trouble at all, im only carrying it till the airport only. The rest, the baggage handlers handle lah. tongue.gif But better still, if you want it fast, meet me at the airport once i landed. You get your stuff instantly, and i get back home relatively lighter in load. tongue.gif

Welcome wckhor, lets spread te BLU wonder!!! rclxms.gif

Well, Paramount only the distributor, they don't own the movies. Lucasfilm is the owner, just like Star Wars where Fox was paid by them to be distributor (slight different in the Indy deal though, Paramount actually still paying half the budget, and they got some percentage from the box-office). nod.gif

Plus, it is in the Paramount's press release, that their contract with HD DVD doesn't include movies by Steven Spielberg. That's a fact. So Spielberg moves can be released on any format he wants. Though he's considered neurtral, he's actually leaning more to the BLU. thumbup.gif

For 10 dics, it would be around USD 70+ but that doesn't mean it is USD 7 per title. As bro ar188 mentioned, the first item would be expensive around USD 30+

That price is for priority international courier. Of course normal courier cheaper but it comes with risks lo whistling.gif

^^ the risk that I meant was more towards the tax side although that doesn't mean that priority shipping would not get tax

Guys, added another 10 titles to my list. Do check it out. Thanks for the support.

It's worth it because of very quick and reliability. Mine always arrive within 3-4 days if use DHL, if got problem, like weather, maybe 5 days. Never ever sangkut or missing, never kastam tax (my own experience, though some kena, like miniacs above).

The cheapest shipping option sometimes I use, to save some money lar...

Rate, see above.

It is quite reliable, my experience usually about 10 days including weekends. But sometimes, due to holiday season like last xmas, I got mine after 4 weeks.

But if it's somehow lost, write to them via their customer service page a few days after the estimated delivery date. They give you option to replace or refund your order.

No tax right?

It's about luck and nasib. tongue.gif

But from my observation, the smaller the package, the bigger chance of not being taxed.

Maybe shipping to a university address will also help I think, though never tried. hmm.gif

The girl must do something, and has 3 option to do it, so the movie shows all possible ways. So you see 3 different scenes trying to do the same thing. I think she need to pay ransom money for her boyfriend, don't remember...

Retailers Emphasizing Blu-ray

In the wake of the Warner announcements, major retailers are shifting focus to the Blu-ray format in hopes of accelerating the end of the format war. Trans World Entertainment, Newbury Comics, Video Buyers Group members and Hastings Entertainment are all beginning to emphasize Blu-ray as the next generation high definition format in hopes to spur growth in the relatively small market.

Mark Higgins, Trans World VP of DVD, videogames and consumer electronics merchandising commented, "As retailers, we need to simplify things for the consumers as much as we can with merchandising one format. We don't want to be biased, but that is clearly the direction that high-def production looks to be going."

Many retailers, especially online retailers with no shelf space limitations, will continue to offer both formats, but have been and will continue to order more copies of Blu-ray titles versus HD DVD titles due to demand. "Although it looks like the writing may be on the wall, DVDEmpire will continue to push both formats equally until our customers show there is no longer any demand for one format or the other," remarked DVDEmpire editorial director Shannon Nutt.

Blu-ray Holds 90% of HD Recorder Market in Japan

A major study of 2,300 electronic stores in Japan shows that consumers are increasingly buying high definition recorders, with 90% of those sales being Blu-ray. Holding a controlling 60% of the market was Sony with their Blu-ray recorders. In second place is Panasonic with 27% of all sales, followed by Sharp with 10%.

Toshiba's HD DVD recorders only managed to hold 4% of the market.

Overall, the demand for high definition recorders has increased from 6.1% in September and October to nearly 20% for November and December. This upward trend combined with Blu-ray domination are encouraging numbers for consumer electronics manufacturers looking to make profits on optical hardware once again.

That one is German movie (can't remember dubbed or not) with little dialogue. Large part of movie she is running and encountering different situations. They just show different what-if senarios and the final outcome if she and the other characters makes different choices and split second decisions.

Just a small change is timing or decision making can change the whole story and conclusion smile.gif

Thanks for the info smile.gif .

If lets say someone e.g just order 1 item using Standard rates, he would have to pay shipping of $4.99 + $3.99 = Total $8.98?

If he orders 2 items , then it would be $4.99 + $3.99 + $3.99 ?

Never used the Expedited option yet, maybe I try someday.

Go to Amazon.com > Your Account > Track Pakages, if there's a yellow "Track your package" button, then just click that. Or, it will say "Shipped via ***" next to that button, go to that site and track there.

Thanks for the fast response bro Aiman and RX. I checked my Amazon account, it doesn't have the yellow button as what bro Aiman mentioned. All I got was: 1 package via Expedited Int'l Shipping.

Thanks bro Rx. I think next time I will also use priority instead. I thought expedited shipping would save me a week or two as compared to standard shipping.... blush.gif

Paramount titles in Blu-ray on Amazon UK

Amazon.co.uk has listed few titles from Paramount for Blu-ray Disc release.

This could be a simple mistake, or Amazon screwed up and leak the pre-schedule early. Or could this be a sign that Paramount is already getting ready to re-join the Blu-ray camp?

Anchorman

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anchorman-Blu-ray/dp/B0012U34A0

Coming To America

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Coming-to-America-...y/dp/B0012U349G

Trading Places

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trading-Places-Blu-ray/dp/B0012U349Q

Failure To Launch

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Failure-to-Launch-...y/dp/B0012U34AA

Freedom Writers

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Freedom-Writers-Bl...y/dp/B0012U34AK

No guys, this is not like the Beowulf blu-ray, which Warner Bros is distributing in UK, the above titles are 100% Paramount/DreamWorks release in UK.

Now, you could say that this is a placeholder item, for titles never announced to be released.

This is the placeholder example:

http://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Trilogy-B...=blurayforum-20

Can you pre-order that? Or is there a price? ASIN numbers? Or release date?

And someone from N4G has contacted Amazon.co.uk about it, their reply:

QUOTE
"We have checked our website and confirm that the DVDs you are
mentioned are scheduled to release in March.

Our editorial staff are constantly working on increasing the information we provide about each item as it becomes available to us. However, the information currently displayed on the product's information page is all that has so far been made available to us from the manufacturer."


This can be all speculation, but could we get an announcement from Paramount soon? Who knows.

If many people tumpang, we can split the per shipment ($29.99) charge equally, and pay for each title individually at $3.99.

Poslaju only less than RM10, no worries.

Right POP? Or is there any 'kebajikan" charge? whistling.gif

Wah, RX, you get your receiver already ar? Which one?

If you're listening to a 2-channel source using your PS3 (or even when you're not doing anything), you'll see on your receiver that it is receiving 7-channel audio. So, you'll only get front 2 speakers, even if you turn on DTS-Neo:6, Dolby Pro-Logic II/x, THX-Select or any other surround decoding your receiver provides.

To avoid this, set the sound setting as Optical, or if you don't have that but using HDMI, select manually all audio option except for PCM 5.1 and PCM 7,1. then you'll see on your receiver that it is receiving 2-channel audio only. So now you can turn on any surround decoding option and enjoy audio from all speakers.

For 5.1 channel source, it should be OK if you only have 5.1 speakers, don't have to do anything first. But if you have 7.1 speakers, the surround-back speakers will only be used if you turn off the PCM 7.1 and use the surround decoding.

The above not applicable for BD / DVD. For this, you need to set the output back to HDMI and set automatic so that you'll get all types, including PCM 7.1

For BD/DVD, go to Settings, make sure you set your PS3 to output BD / DVD audio as Linear PCM, let the PS3 do the decoding, because it can't bitstream high bitrate audio like DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD.

If you set the output as Bitstream, your Dolby TrueHD audio will be downgraded to their core stream only (Dolby Digital).

This is also true for DTS-HD MA when the PS3 can finally decode it internally if we get it with the firmware update someday. But for now, either bitstream od Linear PCM, both will only give you core DTS only.

So, you won't see the DTS-HD MA or Dolby TrueHD lights up on your receiver. But that's OK, because either your PS3 or your receiver is doing the decoding, no difference at all. What's important is it is decoded and you get to listen to it. Of course there is something about "jittery" effects, but that's another story.

These are true with my YAMAHA RX-V1800 anyway, but I think all latest receiver should be the same, because the problem is with the PS3, not the receiver.

Sucks huh? But that's the only disadvantage I can see with our PS3. This is hardware, so nothing much we can do about it. For DTS-HD MA, that can be fixed using software, nothing a firmware update can't do.

Onkyo TX-SR605 OK what, most important is that it's future proof. rclxms.gif

The PCM/Bitstream thing is only for BD / DVD. You do that in the BD/ DVD settings.

For CD, or any 2-channel source (including MP3s on the harddisk), you need to go to the Sound settings. Set HDMI audio output manually for all types except PCM 5.1 and PCM 7.1.

But if then you want to watch BD / DVD, you must set the HDMI audio back to automatic.

This is the part that sucks, changing back and forth. doh.gif

Which player? PS3? No, please don't, firmware update is one way ticket only, if something bad happen, no turning back. I've read on many forums people are having problem updating from diffrent region. Furthermore, I don't think it will change the regional coding.

Which region is yours anyway? EU? If you bought it here, SG, HK, JPN or even US should be the same region A>.

Nothing to do with the JAMO lar, surround setups are the receiver's and/or player's job.

Only fault a speaker will do is not re-producing accurate details, quality sound, acoustics, etc (though the receiver/amp has the influence still).

if possible, get the Mod2 set lar...
I check with them liao, shipping using UPSP priority mail USD189 for Mod1 5.1, they'll reply later if using Fedex.
btw tax for speakers are 15% import duties + 10% sales tax....

so total will be (789+189)+15% = 1124.7 + 10% = USD1,237.17 = RM4,082.66....not cheap also....but they have the 30 days return policy even for international customer counted from received date.... thumbup.gif

Just pay the per item charge at $3.99, then the per shipment charge $29.99, we split equally.

Depends on POP how split, either per item or per person. Maybe per item better?

If total overall 10 BDs, then each item should be $2.99, so if you tumpang 2 BDs, you should pay $5.98 + $7.98.

That's standard shipping.

POP using DHL, secured, fast and reliable.

I think he got more than 30 BDs already.

If split that, you'll only pay less than $1.00 + $7.98. That's less than $9.00 to pay for shipment of 2 BDs using DHL!
