To the question of this thread, to demo my system for both audio and video, it will be Baraka.

That's Casino Royale, confirmed. Yeah, it's one of the reference release back in 2007. Now there are many more BD with amazing PQ/AQ.

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.

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

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

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?

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

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!

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.
