Uncle Ho doesn't sell BD.. only fake BD (DVD9 pretending to be BD).

Anyway, for the 'interesting' brows.gif title like 'Pirates' and 'Predator',
you can get the seller to package with dull cover art or flip
it the other way so that custom won't see it. Big sellers (like Amazon) won't be
able to do it but private sellers on Ebay can do it with no problem.

I got a few this way.. nod.gif

Be very careful of this boxset. My friend ordered it last time and 80% of the discs arrived damaged because
of the defective packaging in there.

CAUTION

Always have to be careful with UK orders due to REGION B issue. Must check to make sure
that the BD content is REGION free BEFORE ordering!!!

For SinCity, Blu may not make any difference since it is Black and White with
only occasions splash of colors.

I would recommend people to get the Special Collector Uncut DVD Edition since it has more content.

Why go SD when you can enjoy HD? Regardless of color, you will SEE n HEAR the difference.
I'm not so into the content, the theatrical is more than enuff for me.

But to each, to his own.
*
What I meant is for this film.. I felt that HD WON'T make much of a difference because
the way the director wants it to be viewed - lots of dark scenes.. perhaps the sound may make some difference
but I doubt that.

Not worth the HD glory in my book.. well, like you said.. to each, his own.

Lately, I have been experiencing some pixelisation & jerkiness throughout the movie when watching certian BD like The Incredible Hulk, Red Cliff and the latest TDK (just got from Tun Mega just now). Other movies like Transformers, Iron Man no such problem. Did anyone experience the same thing?

I am worried that my PS3 lens is about to die.  cry.gif  It's only 6 months old, it's no meant to go so soon...!
I believe those pixelisation & jerkiness are NOT a sign of dying lens. Your TV refresh rate could be not high enough.
What kind of TV do you have?

But, if you play a game and it freezes and reboot.. multiple times or
at the certain spot yes.. something bad could be happening to your PS3 hardware.

Could it be your BD disc has a dirt/smudge spot?
Have you clean your disc and try again?

Don't worry..USD won't go higher any further but IS coming down.

Today.. USD is only 3.52 because of the US Fed rate cut.

USD may go back to RM3.2~RM3.3 in about 1-3 months.

They have to make the Dollar cheaper so that we can buy more from them
and they need to recover from their recession. tongue.gif

nope.. firmware update only affects game playing or PSN entry, not viewing movie.
Most likely it is a bad or dirty BD disc.

Well, I used the term pixelization but it is actually similar to Jack Sparrow DVD's when it doesn't play very well on a DVD player, you get funny defects on the screen (jerkiness, patches like pixels, etc.). Sometimes the screen just freezes for a split second which happens a lot to TDK which I got yesterday.  cry.gif  blink.gif

I also experience one freeze on a game just yesterday... hmm.gif

I am sure it is not the TV as mine is an Aquos.  sweat.gif

The only thing I am baffled with is that it appears to some BD (bought recently) but not all.
Problem occured on TDK, Hulk & Red Cliff
No problem on Trasnformers, Kung Fu Panda, Mariah Carey concert, Iron Man.

So, could it be sensitive to certain BD? This problem really sucks... rclxub.gif

Wait a minute..have your check your HDMI cable? Try straighten it or disconnect and connect again.

Make sure there is no kinks or bad connection to your TV.

While playing a movie, on the fast action scenes, the high transfer rate could be DROPPED
if you have bad connection to your TV!

Jep,

I've reviewed your video. Looks to me that you have screen tearing issue and losing data.

Like I have mentioned to horray.. have you checked your HDMI cable as well?

Try with a component cable and go back and watch the same scene.

If it doesn't happen again, your HDMI cable or the HDMI port is DEFECTIVE.

I'm baffled, why PS3 lens so sensitive one... why not other BD players/game consoles? I heard a lot of complaints not only here in M'sia. So far I don't have any issue with lens la, but the only other thing I'm not so confident about PS3 is the disc-insert mechanism...sometimes tend to sound draggy...still prefer a tray mechanism for disc.
*
IMO, I don't think the problem experienced by jep and hooray are related to PS3's lens because of all the cases that I read so far when there is a LENS problem, the PS3 won't even READ the BD or DVD at all.

Congrats bro! You finally got ur Black Friday deals...  rclxms.gif  I've been wanting to buy T3 for sometime now but from what I've heard, the video was encoded 1080i instead of 1080p!?  hmm.gif  But then again, how significant is the difference... can you clarify this? Thanx bro.
*
There is always a myth that 1080i encoded video is not perfect but it is nothing but a myth only.

If your TV and BD Player is 1080p capable, you won't see a squat of difference because your boxes
up-res it anyway.

My Black Friday deal was shipped 1st Dec and I just got it today. Others with earlier shipping date still not yet receive theirs also. I suggest you wait 1-2 more weeks.
*
It normally takes about 8-12 days from US to Malaysia for First Class International, then additional
3-5 more for local delivery by local Pos to your address (depending on where you stay).
If Custom holds it, there is additional 3-5 more days for clearance.

Wow.. have you view those yet? If so, how's the PQ look like?

I've only seen Planet Terror and Death Proof on DVD and since they make that film intentionally to look
grainy .. like good old '70s movies. not sure if BD format would make it better.

I think the PQ won't be that badly affcted... checkout 300, also loads of grain, but images still remain sharp and clear!
Hmm, tonite I will tonton Sin City and see how's the PQ la... its a 90% "dark" movie, but the picture should be superb. The sound already DTS-HD MA rclxms.gif

True.. IMO 300 is a bit different.. the colours are pretty vibrant even for DVD format and watching on BD enhance it even more.

But.. for Planet Terror... I am not sure.... not only it is grainy but there's a intentional lot of spots and dust (well at least on the DVD version) to make it look age.. well, hopefully when ferricide gets it later and views it, please inform us later. tongue.gif
