One question guys:
I've just successfully connected my PS3 to go online  rclxms.gif  When I load Transformers bd first time round, it took around 5 minutes to load (I guess loading its BD-Live content, right?) So, will I have to wait this long everytime I load my Transformers bd?  hmm.gif
*
Oly the first time. Thereafter, it will load normally.

i still cant accept that i dont have holiday to begin with!

I am sure you get long holidays during the Christmas & New Year seasons and not to mention Easter holidays as well. And then there is the summer where practically everyone is out in the sun! And depending where you are in Europe, you work less than 40 hours a week IIANM. So, you almost have regular holidays throughout the year! Jealous! vmad.gif mad.gif

Scratch marks on the disc??? Must be a used one or one which was returned by another buyer. You should claim it back from Amazon.

Wah, tdy very quiet one... either everybody still in holiday mood or too busy, work all piling up...  tongue.gif

Managed to catch Lara Croft: Tomb Raider yesterday. Almost the entire movie was covered with grain even though the print master seemed to be in good condition. At this point how I wish that the 'avoidable' DNR technique should be applied on this one!  hmm.gif The grainy is not film-like & its becoming a distraction especially on darkly lit and interior scenes. The exterior daytime shot however are quite sharp & almost grainless.

I'm not sure whether this grainy effect was intentional or the film stock used was of low quality. It could've been a good sight, this movie... because the cinematography of Peter Menzies Jr. was quite good (I like his work on Incredible Hulk  thumbup.gif ). I suspected the reason being Paramount utilised MPEG-2 codec for their early releases like this movie, instead of the now preferred MPEG-4 AVC like the recent Iron Man and Indy 4 bds. Maybe this artifact may not be so apparent on a bigger, full HD TV.... or was it the other way round? (mine is 32" & HD-ready onli...  blush.gif )

PQ: 3 out of 5 (AQ is nothing to comment, the DD 5.1 is pretty norm to me...)

Agreed with you, the PQ for this movie is so crappy that you might as well just watch the DVD version and won't notice difference. AQ is also a major disappointment. Probably it was released many moons back at a time when everyone was just beginning to experience HD. notworthy.gif I actually "forced" myself to finish the movie and very quickly sell it off before it loses its value. Just my 2 sen.

I can't wait for next Transformers but to wait until November for the BD is too long. Must watch in cinema first! Anyway, I am sure the 2nd movie will be as good as the 1st one (if not better) and I don't mind watching it over and over again. Am still watching the 1st Transformers for the umpteenth time (lost count). Watched the action segments just last night - blasting away! rclxm9.gif

Make everyday a Valentine's Day and therefore no need to specifically spend extra money on this day. Well, that's what I tell my wife, anyway! rclxms.gif

Tun Mega, I suggest you open a BD rental shop and I am sure many forumers will rent from you since you never watch them until much later. Would a double storey shop lot be sufficient to display all your BD's? icon_rolleyes.gif

I don't see the need for a club...this thread is good enough for now (for me at least!). If set up club, then you need people to manage. If not, sure die off very fast....on this thread, info is free and flows freely some more...good enough for me! Just my 2 sen. tongue.gif

What TV you using lar? Sounds complicated! Anfieldude can offer this service to us BD forumers? I have been trying to find recommended settings for my TV on the net but not very successful so far. For anyone who can offer this service, I don't mind paying for it. rclxms.gif

So, whether you have a 100Hz/120Hz/200Hz feature or not on your LCD TV is not critical as long as you have 1080/24fps, am I right to assume? The AMP actually causes judder rather than reduce it? Sorry, this is all quite technical to me and I have always thought that 100Hz and above is important to reduce the judder.

Just finished watching Ip Man. Yes there was some ghosting at early part of the movie but only for a minute or two. Doesn't really bother me.

Overall, PQ and AQ are great but I did find the dialogue level is bit too low. Storyline -> Awesome and not to mention the fight scenes - simply inspiring! He really beat the crap out of the Jap General! Makes me want to learn Kung Fu! flex.gif Haha! thumbup.gif rclxm9.gif

Better start a special Blue-Ray thread to ensure this thread remains truly Blu! Aiya, guys will always be guys! Otherwise, world population will shrink pretty fast! Someone's got to keep the world going!

Just joking, yeah! No offence! notworthy.gif
