[TastySweetNutz]

What did people get with the HD DVD bogo on amazon?

I just grabbed the 4 Harry Potters for $39.90 Dlvd. To good to pass up.

Blu Ray's 50% off sale sucks. LOL we are so use to Bogo's anymore we want everything for free :)

I picked up Children of Men/Hot Fuzz and Serenity/Dead Silence.

I'll also back up Serenity as a very good movie. Very different than what we're used to when it comes to sci-fi movies since it's a sci-fi/western with a lot of asian influences.

By the way, any definite news on the 3/2 deal at Best Buy this weekend?

[TastySweetNutz]

Here are the other titles that I have to watch before getting rid of.

From Hell

Johnny - let me know if you're going to part with From Hell after watching it.

[johnnyknoxsvill]

All the movies listed will be sold. I can mark it as pending for you if you want it

[kawai7]

Does anyone have Blades of Glory for HD-DVD and also is playing it off the Toshiba HD-A30?

I have both and it always freezes and gives me an error code at 1 hour and 19 minutes through the movie. I have to skip through it to get through it.

Anyone else have this problem?

[Tuckertank]

Knox, I'll take the fly for $17 but I don't use paypay, pm your address if that's cool.

High-def Digest's year-end awards.

http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/2007_Year_in_Review/Best_(and_Worst)_High-Def_Discs_of_2007:_Kenneth_Brown/1300

Personally, the only one that really pisses me off is that Queen concert won best music title. What a bunch of garbage. That Dave and Time show -- as far as a high-definition experience is concerned -- is not only flawless for a music title, it's probably the best audio quality and arguable video quality of any disc on either format.

The Queen Concert's PQ and AQ imo are a 2/5 and 3/5, respectively.

[PrimeBane]

If any of my America friends are taking advantage of the Bestbuy buy 3, get 2 free and don't know what to pick for 4th and 5th disks, I'd be interested in splitting the cost for The Kingdom and Blade Runner on HD DVD if they are available in the sale. :)

[PrimeBane]

I'm also looking for the HD DVD starter pack with Blades of Glory, Anchorman and Old School. :)

Can't get it in Canada. :(

[TastySweetNutz]

Prime - I can hook you up with the starter pack if you need me to, LMK.

Thanks for the link grif. I'm glad that it says "any" HD-DVD since I've been waiting to get The Kingdom and Pan's Lab.

[JaylisJayP]

There were reports of people having trouble getting Blade Runner with this week's Best Buy B2,G1....they said it was being read as a box set. Just a heads up.

[grif32]

When does that Best Buy ad come out??

Should be in this Sunday's ad's

Chris

[civictyperboy]

I was able to pick blade runner up this weekend without a problem...I thought that buy 3 get 2 free sale was going on this week, so I went into BB today and they didn't know anything about it

[JaylisJayP]

I truly can't think of 5 more HD DVDs I'd even want to buy. If I did...honestly....it'd be something like:

End of Days
Van Helsing
Blazing Saddles
Relentless Enemies
Spy Game

Probably not gonna spend Best Buy money on those, though, even with the sale.

[grif32]

Does anyone have Blades of Glory for HD-DVD and also is playing it off the Toshiba HD-A30?

I knew I should have waited till this weekend to by my PS3. I picked it up yesterday and now the are bringing back the 5 free by mail and 5 free instantly when you buy any blue ray player. Now I will have to piss of the people at customer service on Sunday ;). Same thing happened when I bought my HD Dvd Player. The day after I bought it they offer 3 instantly.

[johnnyknoxsvill]

If you read the fine print in the Ad is states that, that offer is not valid on the PS3. But since it is a PS3 I think you can make a valid case

[PrimeBane]

Prime - I can hook you up with the starter pack if you need me to, LMK.


Thanks :)

I'll send you a PM

[JaylisJayP]

Dammit, I don't know why I keep checking the sale threads...now I'm talking myself into finding 5 HD DVDs at Best Buy Sunday....grr......I have a sickness.

Dammit, I don't know why I keep checking the sale threads...now I'm talking myself into finding 5 HD DVDs at Best Buy Sunday....grr......I have a sickness.

Just this site out and their unreal low prices on some of the new release's

http://blu-rayboxsets.com/

click on Blu ray movies on the right.

Checkout is through amazon.com so I am not 100% about it. Kinda iffy..

But they have new BR movies like:

SP3 - $11.50

Hairspray - $8.50

Oceans 13 - $11.50

Just to name a few.

I want to do it but I dont know.

Chris

[JaylisJayP]

i bought Ocean's 13 new through a second-hand seller on amazon and it came just fine. Not sure if this is what the site is linking to, though.

[SBrooks1]

On a sidenote of something not Blu or HD DVD related, I bought a Garmin nuvi 350 GPS. :D Anyone else own one? Any tips?

[jackliveshere]

I've got a brand new sealed Mr & Mrs. Smith BD for sale if anyone needs it. $34.99 in stores, $27 dlvd from me, just pm me.

I have a Magellan and I love it. I have used my bosses before and his was a Garmin. They are pretty much the same I would say. Some tips you might want to consider is that sometimes the GPS is WRONG! But 95% of the time it will get you where you need to be. It just make take you a weird route. Tip number 2 would be that sometimes you are NOT SMARTER than the GPS. So don't just go off the route because you think you know where you should be turning. Also pay attention to the road still because I was coming home one night from installing PCs at a bunch of stores down in Wise county. I got lost coming back and was using the GPS. Needless to say I was looking at the GPS too much and made a couple dumb driving mistakes. I probably didn't care because I was out in the country with no people at all lol. I ended up getting pulled by the cops and they thought I was drunk! So I had to explain to the officer that I was lost, from another city and the only thing I was drinking was red bull.

[PrimeBane]

EDIT: Looks like this is a Spanish April Fool's Day joke.

Lord of the Rings trilogy coming to BD in Spain for March 2008

Hopefully that means we see it in North America before long.

[ewto16]

Why does Spain get that first?????? I'm all over that. Going to be fantastic in HD.

[PrimeBane]

It's coming from a different distributor than New Line.

Pesonally I'll wait for the NA release.

Chris

[ToightLikeATiger]

On a scale of 1-10 how funny is Knocked Up? Ive had the chance to get this movie for free with my HD-DVD player purchase and its also an option for me with the BB B3G2 deal next week. Just dont wanna buy a dumb movie. Any reviews by you guys would be appreciated :)

[avsfan21]

I would go about 6.5 for me. It was ok, but not as funny as a lot of people make it out to be.

[TastySweetNutz]

Not as funny as usual Apatow movies, but very enjoyable none the less. I bought me a copy and still enjoy it.

[imaginegrafix]

I LOVED knocked up - but I've noticed that people that have kids find it more humorous, maybe that is just a coincidence though.

[someguy6000]

Knocked up I would give a 5 or 6. It was just Ok. Way to many F bombs for me to enjoy. Just got old.

[JaylisJayP]

^^^ that's the code, it worked for me on the most recent HD DVD BOGO sale.

pretty good read about studio grades for 2007. I have to say he's about 95% right on with his comments.

I'm glad they didn't knock WB too much with their recent minor snafu's - The problems with Blade Runner, HP box set, and Terminator 3 in no way outweigh the immense quality they put out with each of their products.

i agree.

As a format-neutral person, I really hope Warner doesn't decide to go blu-ray exclusive in 2008. I know they've denied it up and down, but if they did it would be trouble for HD DVD, and I really enjoy the competing formats right now. I know I'm probably in the minority there.

You are for sure right on that one. Once one takes over for good there wont be deals like that. Although it could go either way as prices. Since they are the new format they could go up, or since they dont have to spend money competing anymore they might go down. Only time will tell.

If one wins out, I don't see the retail prices increasing....they're still going to be heavily competing against DVD and raising already expensive prices won't draw in anyone else as quickly as they'd like.

[grif32]

Man I have about 8 new moives coming for HD DVD/BR and I still have about 30 to watch.

Buying way to dang many.. I need to start watching the others first.

How about now more Bogo's for atleast a month :)

[johnnyknoxsvill]

Ive reached the point where I'm only buying titles that I know I will watch. I had a list of 31 titles that Im getting rid of and that barely made a dent in my HD/BD collection which is sad.

30? Lightweight. I probably have 75-90 i am yet to watch. Just got my 4 from the latest BOGO....and I'm getting 5 more tomorrow at Best Buy.

Lol, maybe i should rethink wanting there to be competition so we keep getting these sales. I can't resist them.

LOL I was over 70 at one point but we watch probably 5 - 7 movies during the week and a few on the weekends. So I slowly catching up.

30 is only on HD DVD/BR I have about another 50 - 60 on SD DVD yet to watch. But to be honest I could care less watching SD DVD's

[CoachB]

I guess I get to go back to Best Buy tommorrow and get 5 free Blu-Rays :)

Yeah that sucks.

I grabbed another PS3 Black Friday weekend and received 10 free BR right at walmart plus you get 5 free mail

I sold the PS3 on the bay for the amount I bought it for at Walmart but gave them the receipt to get the 5 free BR movies via mail

So after paypal fee's and ebay fee's I got 10 BR movies for around $50 - $60 :D

To good to pass up.

Just watched Eastern Promises with my wife. Hell of a flick. Not as much action as I thought but the acting, story and atmosphere are so strong it doesn't need it.

Picture looks very good, touches of grain here and there, but the blues and yellows pop like crazy.

3. Spy Game
4. The Host? Maybe?
5. Undecided

[civictyperboy]

I already picked up the kingdom, eastern promises, and blade runner...I think I am all set with the movies for now...The Kingdom was awesome, kinda short but really good, I found out after the fact that my HD-DVD player was all messed up, the audio was quiet and the picture was off as well

[grif32]

Well if its online as well I hope to pickup:

The Kingdom
Eastern Promises
Stardust
Harry Potter 5
The last Bourne

[grif32]

Who's better to order a plasma from, Amazon or Buy.com?

Amazon has been awesome. Never any problems.

Never bought from Buy.com

[RAIDEN6]

Well if its online as well I hope to pickup:

The Kingdom
Eastern Promises
Stardust
Harry Potter 5
The last BourneNo Best Buys around you? And I also thought about picking up all Harry Potter movies but it would be a big blind buy for me. I mean, what happens if I don't like them?:spawnskul

[grif32]

No Best Buys around you? And I also thought about picking up all Harry Potter movies but it would be a big blind buy for me. I mean, what happens if I don't like them?:spawnskul

Nope closest is over an 1hr away..

I would just choose the 5 you know for sure you will enjoy. I wasnt really into HP but after watching all the movies I am now.

Chris

[ToightLikeATiger]

What is everyone planning on picking up tomorrow at best buy?

Im not 100% sure on all 5 but right now it looks like this...

1. Anchorman

[grif32]

I would say amazon.

I think it is compatable with direct tv's HD DVR.

Easy to do. Everything is done on the computer then downloaded to the remote. Very Very Very easy.

[sobentyo]

Super haul bro. Ratatouille is prob some of the best PQ I have ever seen. It's almost looks like the characters are popping off the screen. I haver herd the same about Cars, but I down own that Blu-Ray yet.

Harmony's are compatible with everything... and if it isn't, it learns from the remote you have (I have to do it with my satellite receiver).

When you first get it you install the software on your computer. Then you input all your devices into the software and it pretty much programs all the remote for you. It takes a little tinkering sometimes (you might have to delay the signal for some devices), but it's a great way to get rid of a pile of remotes. :)

The 880 also comes with a charging stand so you don't have to keep buying batteries for the damn thing (my 628 eats batteries especialy wth the backlight).

I believe the 880 retails for about $300, but you should be able to find it for around $150 or less if you're lucky. :)

Well since the visa is out and on a roll why stop now i guess:o:o

[GPWYANKEE]

Amazon has the Harmony 880 for 144.00 with free delivery

[GPWYANKEE]

Well-There goes another 145.00 on the card-Mommas going to be thrilled with me when she gets home

[PrimeBane]

Well, you don't have to get the 880... they do have lesser remotes that do the same thing. :)

Here's a used 628 that you might be able to get for cheap

Just bought the 880-Ive got so much tied up in equipment at this point,Whats the difference.Plus you guys all seem to swear by it so ill go with that.

[PrimeBane]

It is pretty sweet... I'll have my first one in hand next week after using a 628 for the last year and a bit. :)

[grif32]

Garth also check the Firmware on your new BR player. I beleive the newest FW should be 1.3

Follow the steps below to check the firmware version currently installed in your Panasonic BD player.

1. Turn on the main unit.
2. Press the [SETUP] button on the remote control to open the display menu screen.
3. Using the Up and Down cursor buttons on the remote control, select the "DISPLAY" tab - "DISPLAY" items will appear.
4. Press and hold the "STATUS" button on the remote control. While doing so, the current firmware version for your player will be displayed in the lower right hand corner of the screen (e.g. "1.1").

Also if you need help with the Harmony 880 dont be afraid to call.

Heck I might even have to take a trip up soon

Chris

[johnnyknoxsvill]

Its has the 5 second framing error but other then that its perfect.

NO charge just shoot me your addy.

Chris

[JaylisJayP]

Finally starting to crack through some of these movies.

Watched Clerks 2 HD DVD tonight. Damn this movie was funnier the second time.

PQ is pretty good but not great. Color are the standout, vibrant and full, and it helps that the movie is basically all bright scenes.

There's grain, and the facial details are some of the softest I've seen in HD. But I'd still give this a 7.5/10 for PQ.

[juicyjay504]

Nice BB has superbad for 19.99 gonna pick it up tomorrowish.

[Radiation74]

getting ready to get a TV. Not sure wht to do, buy a replacement bulb for the projector and get a 32 inch for the bedrom, or just get a nice 50+ inch to replace the projector.

My question is........ on a 32 inch is there a noticable difference between 1080p/1080i/780p?

Why in the world would you replace a projector with a TV? If your projector is old, replace with a newer model, or replace the bulb and use the money you save to buy a 32" TV as well.



Picked up Anchorman and The Shining at Future Shop. I sold my DVD copy of The Shining a while ago and have been itching to see it again, can't wait to watch this one.

Now at 87 HD DVD's. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/freezerfuel/Smilies/rockon.gif

BUT I do recall the ad stating any HD-DVD was part of the deal of equal or lesser value. Anyone else have this problem. let me know.. Thanks again and Happy New Year.

your HP boxset only sticks out because it's your only box set. once you get a few more, they'll all look happy together. hd dvds are still new, give it time for more box sets to come out and you'll get them. :)

another OT question....where's the best, cheapest, most reliable place to get an SD card?

I need a 6 or 8GB microSD card.

Ebay seems overstocked with these but there are lots of reports of most of them being fake or lower capacity rip-offs of Sandisk.

8GB mircoSD cards just came out not to long ago and not a lot of things are actually capable of using them, and 6GB are still fairly expensive where ever you look besides Ebay, and chances are people that get them from ebay are legit to a certain extent however like I said most things that use microSD cards can't even read a 6 or 8 card

Need alittle help guys, I bought a elite to replace my old 360 since I wanted HDMI and a bigger hard drive. Here's the deal I have my PS3 hooked up to my TV (Pioneer PDP-507XG) and I get 1080P/24, but when I hook up my elite with my HD DVD player I get 1080i and I can't change the settings in the setup/display tab to 1080P(it's greyed out) I know the PS3 forces 1080/24 in the setup menu....could this be my issues since you can't forces 1080P/24 with the HD DVD player? Any help would be great!

Is the HD-DVD player you hooked up to able to broadcast in 1080P?

[PCOLASHAN]

Where in the settings would I find that? Only setting that I can find is the display setting in the xbox 360 setup page which 1080P is not an option that I can select

another OT question....where's the best, cheapest, most reliable place to get an SD card?

I need a 6 or 8GB microSD card.

Ebay seems overstocked with these but there are lots of reports of most of them being fake or lower capacity rip-offs of Sandisk.

I've heard of people finding 6GB for under $100 just before the holidays.

If you can get by with a 2GB one, monoprice has one for a great price.

Need alittle help guys, I bought a elite to replace my old 360 since I wanted HDMI and a bigger hard drive. Here's the deal I have my PS3 hooked up to my TV (Pioneer PDP-507XG) and I get 1080P/24, but when I hook up my elite with my HD DVD player I get 1080i and I can't change the settings in the setup/display tab to 1080P(it's greyed out) I know the PS3 forces 1080/24 in the setup menu....could this be my issues since you can't forces 1080P/24 with the HD DVD player? Any help would be great!

Strange... 1080p shouldn't be greyed out at all on the 360. You do have all the 360 updates right?

[civictyperboy]

Jaylis...you can get a 6gb on newegg for 71 bucks...

[JaylisJayP]

thanks civic....i found one on amazon for 69.99 that comes with a USB adapter for the computer (since my HP's card reader can only read up to 4GB I'll need it)...plus I had a $25 coupon, so after 2-day shipping the whole thing was $56 delivered.

Wish amazon had an HD-DVD BOGO with 96 titles available. They didnt offer that many in the deal this week :(

[PrimeBane]

A nice little mail haul was waiting for me when I got back home yesterday. :)

Two 15" cables (HDMI-HDMI, DVI-HDMI)
Blu-wave remote (Thanks to HollandX... even for the little Thrashers banner :D)
Blu McQueen from Cars BD offer
replacement disk for POTC: Curse of the Black Pearl
delivery notice for my Harmony 880 (will pick it up tomorrow)

I also finally set up and updated my Toshiba A2. I have to say it's a nice little player. I'm not sure where all this "long load times" stuff is coming from as mine was just as quick as my 360 addon.

We watched Bourne Supremacy on the A2 connected to the BenQ projector... what a terrific movie and an even better way to watch. :D

[JaylisJayP]

I think I need to come to my senses and hold off on this latest BOGO. I don't think I really need Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Edward Scissorhands even for around $15 each.

[TastySweetNutz]

Finally was able to get out to BB for that HD-DVD deal. Didn't have any problems since the ad was posted up and down the DVD aisle. Picked up: The Kingdom, Pan's Laby, The Host, Transformers, Bourne Supremacy and the comedy starter pack for Primebane. Also picked up Superbad on BR, you can't argue with $19.99 for that movie.

[CoachB]

Same boat here - maybe I've been too spoiled lately when I think 2 for $28 isn't a great deal:o


Garth - any interest in Alpha Dog (Hd combo) for Shoot 'em up?

Blu-wave remote (Thanks to HollandX... even for the little Thrashers banner :D)

Just watched Chuck And larry.

PQ - Solid 4.5

Funny film. I thought it was a great flick. Jessica Biel looked HOT AS HELL!!!

[freezerfuel]

I wonder if in time the HD DVD cases will change. American Gangster looks like it will resemble a DVD type case (but smaller) It looks good but I'd prefer if they kept the clear red trim.

when talking about catalog titles that i may or may not already own on DVD, it's definitely not a good deal. For the new releases if they start coming out at $15 each, then it's a good deal.

I have a nice collection and many to watch now, unless it's a BLOCKBUSTER that I have to pick up on day 1, it's waiting for a BOGO or (wishful thinking) a price drop.

I mean, I own The Rock and Con Air on DVD and just canceled my pre-order for them at Amazon on blu-ray because I really don't need to spend $45 more for these in high-def. For $20 and whatever I get in trade-in at FYE for the DVD versions, sure it's worth it.

Funny quick little story.

I've been answering questions from my parents about High Definition, they're interested in at least an HDTV. (My dad's been retired since he was 42 but is so far behind on technology always).

Anyway...we were in conversation and he asks me, "So this will work with the High D?"

I burst out laughing and told him never to try to speak the lingo until he knew what the hell he was talking about.

[IceRat]

got my movie/pin/and pocket guide for doing the online blu-ray training

LOL that is classic! "High D" hahahaha How about my boss calling a PS3 by the name of "PS Box 360" I was like holy crap Microsoft and Sony team up to create a new system!! lol

Why the PS3 isn't the best Blu-ray player
Posted Jan 2nd 2008 10:47AM by Ben Drawbaugh

Not too long ago we asked you what the best Blu-ray player was and as many would expect one of the hottest answers was the PS3. At $400, with the PS3's ability to be updated to support just about any new Blu-ray feature, it seems like the best value; but there's one thing about the PS3 that is often overlooked. No, we're not talking about the lack of IR remote (easily solved with a $15 adapter) we're talking about the limited audio codec support. Sure, the PS3 supports Doby TrueHD decoding internally, but it lacks a big one, DTS HD. For whatever reason, the PS3 does not support bitstream output -- no, not even TrueHD -- only PCM, and since there's no DTS HD decoder built in, that leaves out one of the hottest new codecs. Sure, only ~15% of Blu-ray titles even include a DTS HD sound track, but judging by the upcoming releases from Sony, Disney, Fox, New Line and Lionsgate, we'd say this number is going to get a lot bigger. At this point, the best option is the Panasonic DMP-BD30 and a newer HDMI 1.3a A/V receiver with all the decoders built in, but who knows, maybe Sony will figure out a way to upgrade the PS3.

Does anybody know if the Blu Ray BOGO Starting 1/6 at TRU is available online or not?My TRU doesnt carry any Blu Rays to speak of.

[PrimeBane]

http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/02/why-the-ps3-isnt-the-best-blu-ray-player/

But it's only a firmware upgrade away from being able to decode DTS Master.

Although it is unfortunate that the PS3 does not bitstream. :(

Garth not sure about Toys R US online.

I was told that they would be getting them in for this deal. But who really knows.

I will check my Toys R Us to see what they have.

[JaylisJayP]

Picked up the first Resident Evil at Wal-Mart for $18. I liked it a lot when I rented it but never got around to buying it on DVD.

What'd everyone else get this week?

[GoNiners]

Since last friday Ive picked up the xbox 360 add-on for HD-DVD which came with King Kong and to my suprise the dvd playback remote, 300, Bourne Identity, Bourne Ultimatum, Stardust, Transformers, Full Metal Jacket, and the Blade Runner 5-disc(non-suitcase version) on HD-DVD. Also sending that 5 free HD-DVD offer thing out.

[GPWYANKEE]

I grabbed the three Diehards,From Hell,Fantastic Four 2 and Hairspray from Amazons Bogo.

[Jerlem11]

Wife and I just picked up a PS3 this past week. In the process we picked up Superbad, Harry Potter (newest one), Ratatoilli, and The Departed at Best Buy for their $20 deal. After we saw the deal on Amazon for BOGO we decided to take Departed back to Best Buy. We ordered The Kingdom of Heaven, Departed, Usual Suspects, and Letters from Iwo Jima last night. Still looking for Simpsons to go back on sale somewhere and am debating getting Nine Inch Nails concert on Blu Ray even though we already bought it in standard def DVD.

[ToightLikeATiger]

Just got back from BB and the B3G2 deal. Came home with the follwing.

Anchorman
Old School
Clerks 2
Carlito's Way
Training Day

Also picked up Lego Star Wars Complete Saga and Screen Cleaner for the LCD.

Quick question about the Screen Cleaner though. I paid $20 for it at BB. I dont wanna pay that much if I dont have to ever again. Is there something cheaper? I bought Monster brand.

[DAHUNTERMANNY]

Just got my 5 free mail-away movies in today from when I bought my XBOX 360 HD-DVD player. I ended up getting all 5 I asked for. :)

Troy - extended version
Hulk

Firewall
Italian Job

Anyone know how long usps will forward mail to your new address?

I had my bb b3g2 deal shipped to my old address by mistake when I ordered online - I called bb and they said they can't do anything at this point and to contact ups. It's ups mi - which means they drop it off with usps I guess - so when I called them they said they can't do anything.

[JaylisJayP]

Is this specifically for LCD? Are there DLP screen cleaners, as well? I've had a damn fingerprint smudge on my screen for a while but I've been afraid to rub the screen with anything wet.

I have an LCD and Plasma and all I have ever used is just a plain old Cotton t-shirt and it works like a charm..

[MPCanes]

I just use a microfiber cloth which costs about 8 bucks for 3 huge reusable sheets

Ok guys I have been lazy on sending in for my five free hd when i bought my a3 and now I have to send in for my 5 free blue rays from my ps3. Question is what do I need to send in for the proof of purchase?? There is no upc code printed on either box that says upc. Do I just cut the sticker off the box??
