How bout Wall E??

Yup, Wall-E and Ratatouile tops as the best PQ/AQ for animation. The most impressive is how you could feel the sense of depth and liveliness, which is amazing considering it's an animation. PIXAR really got my respect. Their movies are pure animation, no motion capture at all. Here's a screenshot I took at the end of Ratatouille end credit:

Kung Fu Panda is also excellent with both PQ/AQ.

By the way, why would anyone watch Celine Dion BD with Dolby Digital? It's Dolby TrueHD 24-bit/96kHz is one of the best AQ for concert BD, on par with Dave Matthews BD and many other top rated movies. Overall it's also one of my top BD for AQ. For Casino Royale, the Dolby TrueHD from recent re-release deluxe edition is noticeably better than the original PCM track, in my opinion.

But, above anything Baraka still holds as the best BD to demo, for me. Even the DTS-HD MA 24-bit/96kHz is also one of the best I've ever heard. thumbup.gif

Could be very excellent.
I am planning to get 1 soon. But now the price still high in Amazon, just waiting....
Ratatouille also a very good collection, but not so smooth when the object moving. Natural lighting & color effect.

Hi, when buying BD movies, say from Amazon, how do we know what format the Audio & Video is? becos info is not provided by Amazon...

if its a BD, does it mean the Video will output 1080p for sure? or will some cases only 720p? i heard the Planet Earth series is in 720p format?

Never seen 720p but 1080i is common for concert/documentary or movies shot on digital HD camera. Can check here:

http://www.blu-ray.com

http://www.highdefdigest.com

Not always reliable but that's best site for BD specs. To check region coding for discs from region B, go here:

http://bluray.liesinc.net/index.php?region=b

Can click on other tabs for other regions.

The AQ of the Deluxe Edition is better than the first release? If I'm not mistaken when the DE first came out people were saying the bass lacks a bit of "oomph" compared to the first release. Dunno la, I personally haven't watched both laugh.gif

Depends on personal perception, but mostly agrees the deluxe/collector's edition is better. Even technically the deluxe/collector's edition is also better, sampled at 48kHz/24-bit while the original release is only 48kHz/16-bit.

Never read anything about the lack of bass, etc though. You haven't seen it? laugh.gif

Really different experience bro, try lah... I know you got a copy, watch once then sell as used lah... tongue.gif

Since last year I tried to avoid watching movies at cinemas, I wanna watch it the first time on BD, I'm willing to wait at least 3 months until BD release. For me the PQ/AQ much better watching at home. I don't like watching in complete darkness, the PQ is bad, black is always gray in cinemas, and the audio is not lossless! tongue.gif

Forget about the what is the BD disc in what resolution, Important is the player output resolution and area region, luckily Malaysia is same with USA under region A, but some of my friend bought BD disc from Europe also no problem, never try Japan's .
Amazon's information are depend on his distributors, so some time are not detail enough, but I never meet any problem, btw their service is very good. If you have problem, you can return and refund also.

My advise is; if some one going to order any video disc from Amazon, please note that better don't exceed that 5~6 pc or USD100+/-, otherwise our custom dep. might invite you to their office and drink kopi.

Amazon's been my favorite site to get DVDs and BDs since 2002. But I never believe their disc details specifications.

Bro, we have a dedicated BD discussion thread in the PlayStation section, now already version 10. We've been discussing about hot deals, new releases, buying experience, etc.

Come over and join the fun.
