V9 starts with the release of Wall-E.

Here's a little info for you guys, to save some budget and take advantage of the currency situation right now. My credit card charged me the GBP rate at 5.37 for my recent LOTR DVD purchase. For Band of Brothers:

UK: £29.77 + £3.58 = £33.35 (*5.45) = RM181.76
US: $54.99 + $8.98 = $63.97 (*3.65) = RM233.49

Also, if you don't want the extras and Animatrix, you can also save by ordering the UK version:

UK: £25.51 + £3.58 = £29.09 (*5.45) = RM158.54
US: $74.99 + $8.98 = $83.97 (*3.65) = RM306.49

This is based on standard shipping method. As you guys know, almost all of the time the UK shipment will arrive around 1 week only, while US shipment will arrive between 2 weeks (if you're lucky) and up to 6 weeks. There are same risks for both UK/US. The shipping rate will get cheaper with additional titles, for both UK/US.

Warner Bros always use the same transfer if they're handling both region's release, and they're always region free. So the PQ/AQ should be the same. Warner's Beowulf release in UK got 5 star PQ/AQ even though Paramount never released it in US at that time because of their HD DVD exclusive. Also, there is only one case reported here about AQ difference, and that was Paramount's Transformers.

So, it's up to you.

That probably true, but I know many of us never watch the extra features, and possibly don't want the Animatrix. For those people, the UK version (movies only) is their best choice and save some money. They should buy the US version if the cost is the same though, no doubt.

Me? I don't even wanna buy the trilogy. I'm waiting for the individual release and buy the first movie only. Just trying to help.

I always got that everytime they use UPS. It's normal bro.

But ever since I wrote to Amazon about UPS, they alwasy ship to me using DHL now.

Bro Corez is an expert about BD weight now. All because of VPost.

Yup, best of luck to you Simon. All this adventures with kastam and KHEDN is kinda fun actually, really suspenseful. Our BD community will prevail no matter what.

Arj, yup, when I kena that day, UPS did all the work, only pay them when they deliver to me. But until now, DHL never failed me. I'm praying hard that my lucky streak will last.

He's using a Platinum card bro. All elite has one.

I don't need platinum card bro. My PS3 can print money for me.

Dual-layer should be only on one side. This probably a double-sided DVD.

We know that the HDTV also automatically upscale SD sources, the question is how good the result is? It's just another option.

For me, my AV receiver, DVD player and PS3 itself can upscale. But after comparing all options, my receiver provides the best upscaled PQ, so it takes the job.

AQ awesome? Not so much to my ears. But yes, the PQ is indeed awesome.

Welcome to the world of HD. The road is one way, there's no turning back. So be prepared with the plastic money.

You can actually fold the locking flap inside and lock it there. Now the casing is exactly like others.

You misunderstood me bro. You actually can choose to not use the lock. Let me take some pictures. Wait ar...

Added on November 19, 2008, 7:04 pmHere you go:

1. Notice the lock? Fold the flap inwards.


2. Push until you hear click.


3. Now you can open and lock like any other casings.


The flap will still inside, you won't even remember it's there. And yes, even Disney uses this kind of casing sometimes.

Always glad to help.

If it's hard to lock it inside, you can force to close the casing with the flap inside. When you open it back it will then stay there permanently.

They're selling at retail price RM149.90 for this BOGO sale. I thought they were selling at around RM90 each before?

And all the titles really not that interesting.

That price is for UK/EU residents with 17.5% VAT. Our price is even more cheaper, at only £7.64. Plus Royal Airmail shipping £3.58 = £11.22 = RM61.15. If order more can further save the shipping cost.

I remember watching Caligula while I was still studying. No intention of wathing again, better just to watch porn, all straight to the point.

That's the loading page. In this case, it's checking for BD-Live through internet.

Looks like you have connection problem while loading the disc. Turn off internet connection and it will load within seconds.

Blu-ray.com reviews The Dark Knight:

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=743&show=review

In the screenshots, you can see the different aspect ratios betweeen the 70mm IMAX shots and the regular 35mm. This will be a whole new experience in B D, with shifting ratios. The first movie to use shifting ratios was Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and and Love the Bomb DVD.

You'll have full screen (16x9) without the black bars during IMAX scenes (1.78:1 aspect ratio),



And the black bar will appear during normal 35mm scenes (2.40:1 aspect ratio).
