Me already have one, this is my friend. He don't really like Spidey, bought because too excited about his new PS3 and home system.

I'm just rying to help on his behalf. He also wanna let go Troy Director's Cut and Departed, both brand new unopened.


OK, RM250 it is. Thanks bro!

One of my favorite classic sci-fi movie. I love Ridley Scott, especially when he does sci-fi.

So sad he's not into it anymore.

At least 30% off.

But I already have Planet Earth.

Buy 2 get 1 ended already.

Sub-$300 Blu-ray Player Coming (or Possibly Already Here)



For those of you who frequent our web forums, you may have noticed users reporting seeing a Magnavox branded Blu-ray Disc player at local Wal-Mart stores for under $300. Sources have now confirmed that Wal-Mart will showcase the Magnavox NB500MG9 for $298 for the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, making it the cheapest Blu-ray player on the market.

The player, which is manufactured by Funai, is a BonusView (Profile v1.1) player, meaning it supports playback of picture-in-picture features found on many Blu-ray discs. The player also supports 1080p24 video output and decoding of Dolby TrueHD audio.

Best Buy will also release their own version of the player under their Insignia brand later this year for $350. No word on how these two players will differ.

This must be a view from below, right? That's why you can see both balls.

Just a little fun once in a while.

OK, back to topic, can any of you guys print extra money so I can buy more BDs?

Nice, thanks bro!


I'm so thankful to have my wife. She always saves me from the darkside! If not I already have pasir goreng batu.

I'll print you some using POP's money printing block.

Amazon.com.SG

That's more likely. The shipping cost will be much much cheaper already! RX will be smiling kerang bushuk already!

Thanks General Mega, nice meeting you too.

These 3 day is BD watching time!

There are those with relative/friends/acquaintance in the US. That info would be helpful to them.

By the way, I saw The Orphanage yesterday. Definitely my type of horror movie, love it.

Also finally checked out the DVE HD Basics, fantastic. Not only it provides the tool to calibrate your display and audio system, it provides in-depth details about HD, how the movie was transfered from film to digital, how the colours are digitally graded from frame-to-frame. You'll also know better how to place your speakers (surround speakers, ear hight or higher?), etc. Also, ever wonder why the TVs in the showroom all looks different? Not much because they performs better than the other mostly!

The calibration tools are good actually. All needed is to be able to understand English, and you're good to go. That's all, because there are no subtitles.

But strangely, using the test tools, I found that my TV has been calibrated quite accurately already (except for the color level because I didn't have the blue filter when I used the THX calibration tools before). So I can tell you, if you have the THX calibration tool with the color filter goggles, that will be sufficient.

But what I mostly recommend this DVE HD Basics is to learn a lot of things about communication through the picture and audio, and how you'll lose information from the communication if your equipment aren't calibrated properly. And a lot more thing to learn about HD and home entertainment.

RX, if you want to borrow this, give me some time first, because I haven't watched everything on the disc yet. Will let you know. Didi, you can borrow it too if you want, after RX because he asked first.

Sure bro, but you'll have to wait your turn. Maybe after Didi,

I just hope when the disc comes back to me, everything will be in one piece.

A very good BD morning to everyone.

ED, it's not that cheap la, US$16.95. Just like other BDs.

I've read good reviews for this.

Doesn't surprise me this movie gets 5-star for video.

The aspect ratio of 2.20:1 is one of the characteristic of Super Panavision 70mm. It's sad new films since 1980s don't use 70mm film stock anymore.

Phew, what happened here?

I watch my Celine BD every week. Believe or not, I was no fan of Celine before, but the BD is excellent. Even my wife now garu kepala, from Metallica to Celine?

But their concerts all wasn't shot on HD, and with 4:3 ratio some more. I usually hate cropping, but if they do the pan & scan right, should be OK. Though the lossless sound would be jaw-dropping I'm sure!

I'm wating patiently.


Yeah, weird huh? I guess mostly because how the audio sounds so good in lossless audio. Even SACDs doesn't sound as good to me.
