It's Saw 4, not exactly an A+ movie to get upset about someone spoiling, lulz :D

[ewto16]

Well, there is usually a twist of some sort in those movies, so I'd like to not ruin that.

[PrimeBane]

Nope, if Sony announces a price cut, you can bet it will be effective immedately. No point in announcing "We are selling the PS3 for $299 starting March 1st.". All that does is stop people from buying the PS3 until then. If you wait and announce the price cut on March 1st, or a couple days before, then you get all those sales at the higher price that you would have lost by announcing it eariler.


To be fair, the rumor states that the price cut will be announced Jan 28th and implemented Feb 29th... so it could be a new model.

Link? Is it from a reputable source?

I see that a new white model has been approved by the FCC, so it could be related to that. I would assume that a $299 model would be a different SKU with something else removed from it.

20GB hard drive, no SM3 packin, no Wi-Fi?

I can't imagine there would be a straight price cut.

Usually by now (less that a week out) there is a lot more information and confirmed rumors on reputable sites than I seem to be seeing at the moment.

Well, that site says they are shipping any day now and going to be on sale Monday. New items would go on slae Sunday in the US and a new PS3 model would CERTAINLY be in the ads for this week.

Plus, the white PS3 just cleared FCC status this week. Last time the 40GB model cleared FCC status it was 2 months before it came out.

No way a new PS3 hits next week. I won't doubt that a white model is coming. I really doubt it will be reduced in price by $100, when I think people would buy them at $399.

I call shenanigins.

Best Buy offering the first ever 40GB PS3's at a price of just $299
http://www.maxconsole.net/assets/gfx/dot_clear.gif
According to internet posters, the Best Buy sterling va store had two pallets of the 40GB PS3 in the first aisle at a manager's special price of just $299. The deal is reportedly only for this store only although who knows if any others will follow suit!

Probably because everyone is scrambling to break the news before everyone else, and they didn't bother to really research the story.

No way a white PS3 that sells for $299 shows up Monday of next week. Just doesn't happen. Like I said earlier, it is obvious a white PS3 is coming.

Actually, I just remembered that the DualShock 3 controller is coming out in spring and was released in Japan in white, so I wouldn't be shocked to see a white PS3 in March/April. That also fits the 2 monthish time table to get something out after the FCC approves it.

I still don't think it will be $299. I think any price drop would happen at E3 (July) or at TGS (Sept).

The reason why is because I don't like the way these fit in my Blu-ray storage shelves.

[TheRedOx]

Should be pulling the trigger on a new LCD in the next week or so.
Out of these, which one would you choose, I'm still researching. I know the Sharps have banding, the Toshis have green push. Still working on the others but I'm curious if you guys have any of these displays or which one you would buy. Tiger is the only choice for vendor, they were dumb enough to give me a credit card there ;) plus their warehouse is local to me and I can pick the set up there. My Tax Refund wasn't so hot this year so the budget is less than $2000 including a stand I'll have to pick up somewhere. Will be used pretty equally for DirecTV HD viewing, XBox 360 playing and HD-DVD movie viewing. This new set will replace an old 57" CRT rear projection set that is just too big for the room.
Let me know if this link works okay, I think it will but I'm not sure.

This is what I was referring to in my previous posts about the new PS3 model coming out. I had seen the ads for next week already and it wasn't in there.

Usually when something like this occurs, there are more leaks that are more reliable than some random blog post. Someone will report a new SKU ringing up at Target, seeing the item in the BB inventory system, or seeing it in the ad flyer.

So far, none of this has occured. Like I said, there is a white PS3 coming and it very well may get announced Monday, but if that is the case, it will go on sale for the same price as the current PS3. No way will Sony announce a price cut a month before the system comes out.

I will say that thanks to some of the input in this thread I went and bought myself a Samsung 32" 720p tv to play my videogames on..

[ewto16]

Hey, do any of you in here have Direct-TV? I have WideOpenWest for my cable now, which is fine, but I only get about 12 HD channels. I really like the idea of getting more HD channels, especially for some of the cable channels I watch, like MTV, USA, VH1 and so on.

Trying to see if you guys like the service and if you have any tips for a noob like myself. I've looked and it seems like it will cost me about $200 in startup costs, since I need a HD/DVR box, a DVR box, and a regular box.

I'm thinking of joining around the next NFL season, as they seem to have some pretty good deals around then and I really want to get the Sunday Ticket package.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I have DirecTV and love it. Switched from Comcrap back in September (when they running the NFL ST package you speak of, free Premier for 3 months). If you want HD channels you need to be with DirecTV - the MPEG4 stuff looks amazing too, much better than what Comcrap was sending me. Their SD channels look a little better than cable but they're still nothing great but I'm watching on a 57" display. Monthly bill is about the same as it was with cable but I have a lot more channels than I did with cable, including all of the movie channels. The HD-DVR is nice and they do a good job of updating the firmware pretty regularly and adding new features.

Does DirectTV have a DVR, HD unit in 1? Everytime I get offers to switch back it says either a free DVR or HD receiver.

Yes they do have a HD-DVR. I have one for Dishnetwork and Ive seen the ones for Direct and I think the price on it is $299. You might be able to get a discount through Direct but not sure

IMO, the Sammy is probably the best of the lot... Sammy and Sony use the same panels for their LCDs and tend to get the highest ratings. Take a look at what people have to say about the model and go from there.

I think so too, that and the Sharp are on the top for me right now. The problem with the Sammy is that it's a refurb
though, not that I really care but...
I think I'll head over there this weekend so I can see them all side-by-side and get a better idea. I've seen that Toshiba in their store before and was just blown away by the quality of the picture (they were running an HD-DVD demo disc straight from an HD-A3 player) but I have a Toshiba now and it's been quite the PITA.

List is $299, there's almost always a promotion for $199. You will have to come in with $199 up front almost for sure. That's for the HD-DVR. You can get an HD receiver free and you can get a SD DVR free but not an HD-DVR free.Check DBSTalk though - http://www.dbstalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12 - somewhere there is a very large thread about deals/etc..ways to get it cheaper but as a new customer it's going to be near impossible. It was a huge sticking point with me at first too and I held off having DirecTV installed for a long time because of it - I didn't feel I should have to invest such a huge amount of money for something I didn't know, at the time, would be any better than what I currently had. That was all during the HD-LITE uproar before they launched the D10 sat. I finally gave in and I'm glad I did - it's well worth it. They'll give you plenty of monthly credits and stuff too for joining up, they take care of their customers pretty good but it does take a long time to get through to them on the phone.

[GPWYANKEE]

Ive got the HD DVR thru Direct TV.Its pretty amazing and with Direct TV when you upgrade to the HD DVR it gives you the free maitenance program.

I would list them:

1) toshiba - The green push is easy to correct and this set puts out a nice pic

2) sharp - Get set

3) Samsung - Its an ok set but I think the other two above are a little better IMO.

Honestly your 57" CRT is the TV to keep. That probably puts out a better pic then any of those above with some fine tuning..

Good luck

I really liked this idea when I heard the Family Guy Blue Harvest set came with a digital copy and I really hope this becomes the norm, although this can't make it easy for them to avoid piracy.

Linkage? Nevermind....

I should have bought the 1 year replacement warrenty on my 80GB when I traded my 60GB one in at EB.

I'm guessing this ties into there being a white model coming. Though now I'm confused as the 40GB one has certain things that clearly make it inferioir to the 80GB model. Not sure why they would want to continue to move forward with that model.

Maybe the white PS3 is going to be the higher tiered model?

By the way, the fact that there are 132 versions of the PS3 and 360 is one of the stupidest things EVER about the current state of video game systems. I really miss the day where there was just one console for each brand. All the SNESs were the same.

[oaktown2000]

Although......even if I just charge you what a 40G goes for retail....I could then turn around and buy another PS3 off of SonyStyle.com with my Sony card.....which gives me 8Xs the amount of reward points. I'm already half way to getting a free Sony 910 AV Receiver....and that would be another nice chunk of points towards that :D

I see that the Hitman blu ray will include an extra DVD with a digital copy of the movie for consumption on ipods, laptops, etc.

I really liked this idea when I heard the Family Guy Blue Harvest set came with a digital copy and I really hope this becomes the norm, although this can't make it easy for them to avoid piracy.


The PS3 has this feature for Blu-ray, where it makes you a digital copy for your PSP of the BD.

Never heard of this feature before. Didn't know my PS3 could do that. Still I like the idea of it becoming more mainstream to put media I own on different players easier.

Hey guys, what hdmi cables do you use. I know I don't need to spend a bajillion on one, but i'm afraid of buying the wrong cheap ones :)

there really isn't a "wrong" cheap one. monoprice.com or ebay will get you some good $7-10 cables. There's NO reason to spend any more than that.

ah. I was just reading on amazon that some don't allow 1080p so i wanted to be sure.

[PrimeBane]

It really depend on the run... any cable up to 10-12' should do for a 1080p signal. The longer runs will require a thicker wire.

I use nothing but monoprice cables (including 2 15') and they all work awesome. :)

some might like to know that I finally received my free Chicken Little Blu Ray from that online blu ray course that was posted a month or two back. I totally forgot about it until my wife got pissed at me when she brought in the mail and thought I ordered another movie. I'm still not sure she believes that it was free.

I read the links you posted and from what I gathered, Sony pictures will be the only ones to do this? or will all BDs start doing this?

[kawai7]

I just finished watching The Kingdom on HD-DVD and I gotta that say although the video quality is great, the audio with the Dolby 5.1 is one of the weakest audio presentations on Hi-Def. For those who have Smokin' Aces on standard DVD, its somewhat of the same thing and its quite piss poor. For an action movie of such high caliber, you'd expect an Uncompressed PCM track but unfortunately, this is something that really does not rock the house. Oh well, its still a great movie, the audio could've been so much more though.

I thought Memento looked very good. I remember back a long time ago when I was asking the same question and Chugga said it was one of the first blu-rays where they actually got the PQ-control right.

If you're a big fan of the movie, I'd saw double dip. Especially if it's one of those $13.99 titles at tower.com.

Do any of you use Blockbuster or Netflix for renting movies? I use Blockbuster and while they offer Blu-ray movies, they are always on a very long wait. I was wondering if Netflix offered Blu-ray movies and if you had more success getting them.

I use Netflix, but for HD-DVD. Haven't had too many problems, even got a couple titles like Shrek the Third and Mr. Bean's Holiday the day they were released (at my house on Tue.). There's maybe 3 or 4 out of 40 in my queue that are on any kind of 'waiting' status - I assume because they don't have enough copies to go around. BladeRunner is one of those on 'Long Wait' for me - it always has been since it came out. I have The Kingdom, The Departed, and Balls of Fury at home right now.

[BradydaMan]

I use netflix and they have both HD and BR...For new release there is a long wait..Plus netflix will automatically pic HD or BR on any movie you choose.

[JaylisJayP]

I use Netflix, as well. It's hit or miss. I used to use Blockbuster but they jacked up the prices and limited basically every option, so I dropped them. I have found that Netflix is much faster in delivering movies.

[BradydaMan]

I agree, they are reall quick in shipping the movies...I prefer them over Blockbuster, and the price is good too

Prime I did not. 1st time I have seen the movie.

Looks like those #'s SBrooks posted about 93% share for Standalone players was because of the FREE ones given away.

Same can be said for the Bogo's that inflated their Disc sales.

This proves those NPD #'s are flawed.

NPD: Free Blu-ray player deals led to boosted sales this month

By Nate Mook (nmook@betanews.com), BetaNews

January 24, 2008, 2:46 PM

A report from NPD Group (http://www.npd.com/) claimed Blu-ray standalone player sales accounted for 93 percent of the high-def market for the week ending January 12, but NPD itself won't stand behind the numbers (http://www.thedigitalbits.com/mytwocentsa149.html#npd), saying they were leaked and that weekly sales data is not a long-term indicator.

According to Stephen Baker, vice president of industry analysis for NPD, the data "came from an NPD subscriber" and "wasn't approved for release from NPD." He added that the firm typically sees big fluctuations in sales volumes each week, and never makes long-term judgements based on weekly data.

"It reflects what was going on during that week," Baker said, adding that it wasn't smart to "extrapolate that out for six months.

"So what went on the week ending January 12 that led to such high numbers in Blu-ray standalone player sales? Bundling deals with HDTVs, explained Baker. Sharp Blu-ray players accounted for over 30% of sales, as they were offered free to buyers of the company's LCD televisions.

Sony -- also accounting for one-third of sales -- had a similar $400-off deal for Blu-ray players when buying a Sony HDTV.

Panasonic, like Sharp, offered a free Blu-ray player and made up for the remaining third of units sold. Samsung Blu-ray sales were almost non-existent, as the company did not offer any special deals to TV buyers.

The NPD figures did not include Sony's PlayStation 3 or Microsoft's HD DVD add-on for the Xbox 360 -- only standalone players.

Baker wouldn't get specific -- since NPD normally never even comments on weekly sales data -- but said there was some drop in HD DVD player sales. For its part, the HD DVD Promotional Group told BetaNews the weekly sales data was from before the HD DVD player price drop Toshiba announced last week.

Baker did provide BetaNews some insight as to how NPD counts sales. It receives its data from point-of-sale systems from a number of retail outlets across the United States. He would not say how many retailers send data to NPD, but said it was "double digits."

NPD's numbers do not include online sales from the likes of Amazon, where Toshiba's HD-A3 HD DVD player is the number one seller in the DVD player category and number 14 in all of electronics. By contrast, standalone Blu-ray players do not make the electronics list.

That's too funny - I felt like those numbers just seemed way to far off, w/out any bluray players even registering in the top 100 while hd dvd players are constantly in the top 20 for electronics on amazon.

I'm starting to think that HD DVD isn't going anywhere.

Yeah....I'm really close to being able to get the 710....but figured I might as well wait a bit longer and build up to the 910. I mean hell......it is free.

Good call, if there's anything you want to hook up with component cables that's the way to go since the 910 has component switching while the 710 and 810 don't. You also get high definition sound but the player has to do the grunt work. I just about went with the 810 until I found out about the non-component switching thing.

[SBrooks1]

I beg to differ... if they want BD to have any sort of hope of replacing DVD they need to get the word out. A lot of people still have not clue what Blu-ray is and why it's better than DVD on an HDtv.

[kawai7]

Just curious, but did either of you (or anyone else here) see it in the theatre? Perhaps it's just "artistic sound"?
I plan to watch it this weekend. :)

I saw it in the theater and of course in the theater it sounds fine but when you play it back, its just very flat sounding. You gotta turn the volume quite high and even so, all the sound levels whether it be dialogue, gunfire or explosions are all at the same volume. There is no dynamic audio whatsoever.

And alot of the dialogue sounds mumbled as well. The audio is way subpar, I'm quite dissappointed but the video is just fine.

In the theater, it is a somewhat different experience. I was quite annoyed by the constant handheld camera work. There was almost absolutely not steady cam work at all the movie unless it was an action set piece which involved using a crane or a stationary camera. But even in drama scenes which are all driven by dialogue, Peter Berg just refuses to shoot with steady cam. Its all handheld and the camera moves quite violently even when its not necessary. Its alot better watching it on HD-DVD for the video but its less dissorienting. I'm not talking about Cloverfield shakiness but its just never still.

[MattW62001]

I know everyone probably already has them but if anyone still needs 300 or The Bourne Identity on HD I've got them both. I bought an A3 today for my dad and got those 2 for free but we already have them. I'd really like to trade for other blu ray or hd movies but if anyone wants to buy them out right, I'd part with them for $15 apiece delivered or both for $25. Just lmk. Thanks, Matt

[PrimeBane]

I noticed something like this (or the opposite, really) with my blu ray copy of 300. It seemed that the sound effects and music blew the dialogue out of the water. The voices where just so low when compared to the music and other sound. I'm not sure if that's how the movie is but I always just assumed I didn't have my TV audio set up right. (Even though 300 is the only movie I've had this problem with).

It got so ridiculous that I had to turn on the captioning so I didn't have to constantly play with the volume between dialogue scenes and action scenes.

That might be your system Stupidsuck... I had a similar problem with one of my HTs and in the end I just turned up the center channel.

As an FYI to those that are looking to pick up a PS3, there is still no mention of a new model of the PS3 or a price cut in the ads for the week of Feb. 3rd - Feb. 9th.

[PrimeBane]

Well, if the rumor is correct the announcement comes on the 28th ;)

For what it's worth, retailers weren't informed of the last price drop beforehand... I remember seeing old price PS3s in the flyers up here weeks after the price drop.

[CoachB]

I don't know if this happened to anyone else, as I'm sure most of you have already recieved yours back. But remember the Disney replacement BR of Pirates curse of the Pearl? Where all you had to do was call a number or e-mail them? Well I finally got a response today, and now they want me to send in the old disc and then they will send me out a new one? Has this happened to anyone else? Or did they just send out the BR replacement like they said they would?

I guess it might have helped to mention that I do not have a HT system (I hope I will soon:o)

How are you connecting the sound to the tv? With HDMI or with red/white RCA? You might need to set the player to output 2 channel sound rather than 5.1.

No but they are doing that now because people who didnt even own the disc were calling in and getting a free movie.

Anycody have Memento on BluRay?Whats the quality?Is it worth Double Dipping since i have it on Regular DVD?

Final Thoughts

'Memento' is a true cinematic original, an audacious feat of narrative gymnastics that manages to transcend its structural gimmick to achieve a haunting resonance. Sony has put together a fairly good Blu-ray release on paper; with an initially good-looking transfer, a solid soundtrack and a couple of extras. Alas, upon closer examination the transfer suffers from an unacceptable level of compression artifacts. I also wish Sony didn't need to sacrifice extras for bit space, because I don't think Blu-ray is going to succeed unless it offers at least as comprehensive a supplemental package as standard DVD. All in all, 'Memento' is tough to recommend given these negatives.

Quick question though... anyone who has multiple HD-DVD players or Blu Ray players in their house. When you got the free rebate deals did you do them all? I know it says 1 per household but is there a way around that or are they not very strict with it? Any advise would be appreciated. Would love to get 5 different movies

Gonna have a huge entertainment haul after tomorrows visit to BB :)

Quick question though... anyone who has multiple HD-DVD players or Blu Ray players in their house. When you got the free rebate deals did you do them all? I know it says 1 per household but is there a way around that or are they not very strict with it? Any advise would be appreciated. Would love to get 5 different movies

Maybe have them mailed to a relatives address or to your work?

[CoachB]

I downloaded and watched Game Plan last night with the fiance. Cute movie. Not as funny as I expected. I chuckled a lot but overall it wasn't a great movie. The pacing felt kind of weird.

Ok just finished up hooking everything up all my new entertainment items I purchased today! Went to Best Buy and got the following

32" Samsung 720p HD-TV
Playstation 3 (for Blu Ray player. Got Spiderman 3 Blu Ray with it)
Playstation 3 remote
Toshiba A3 HD-DVD player (9 free movie deal) (Got Shooter and Terminator 3 for in store free movies)
War Blu Ray
Super Bad Blu Ray

Got everything hooked up now and it looks great. I am getting 2 more HDMI cables from monoprice though. The TV has 3 hdmi slots and right now I only have the PS3 hooked up through it. Still need my HD-DVD player and DVR hooked up through HDMI.

I am about to go browse and buy some more movies online. Gonna hit up that Tower.com deal for sure :)

Oh btw I had all kinds of Best Buy rewards/coupons. I had $85 rewards. Plus several coupons with money off that I used. I got everything for $1200 which includes service plan for the TV. Really made out I think. Plus I got triple rewards points from my purchases today so I will have another $150 or so coming back to spend more :)

Im a HD addict and proud of it!

[ToightLikeATiger]

Ok just got done watching Spiderman 3 and I think it was a good movie. I know a lot of people disliked it but I thought it was well worth watching. Watching Peter and Harry work together was great. There were some "******ed" parts to the movie but all in all I enjoyed it. 7.5 out of 10 I would rate it.

Watched Deja Vu on Blu-ray tonight. WOW! One of the best Blu-ray's I've ever seen and heard. The soundtrack was amazing! Great movie too!! :D

U.S. PS3 is region 1 along with Japan, Europe/PAL is a different region so they are not compatible.

Well I found out my Monster Surge Protector was smoking and it melted. I am prying none of my electronics are fried. I have to go buy another one.

Unreal nothing was even turned on. I have never seen anything like it before.

Thanks god I was home. I will be making a call to monster.

No I just sent them to him but didnt really look into it.

Then Kiana was looking over my shoulder and wanted a figure which is like 1500 points. I have 650 but would have had close to that if I didnt give them to the guy.

He was getting a POTC TV for his son.

[grif32]

Thats fargin scary:eek:Thank God you were home bro.

Yeah unreal. Have no clue as to why it happen. I think two components are fried the Wii and HD DVD player. I cant get either to turn on now.

I think monster covers up to $250,000 or something like that if something like this happens.

I have to call them and find out what happen.

Damn Grif - glad you were home and everyone is OK, sucks two components are fried but it could have been worse. Hopefully monster covers you.

Yeah to to top it off. I found the source of the problem. My damn Washer died. It was trying to draw more power to keep it spinning and just my luck my washer and upstairs run on the same current. Well atleast i know why it happen. But Monster should have still protected my equipment.

Can this day get any better. :)

This is where you find out if their warrantys worth a shart or not-Its great to say youll pay for this and that-Now lets hope for Grifs sake theyre true to their word.

[grif32]

UPDATE:

Bought a New Washer and Dryer :) Unreal deal on them. Plus I bought a 20% off coupon from Home Depot on the bay for $1.50 and Lowes allowed me to use them on my washer and Dryer? Saved about $400.00 on them both. Best $1.50 I have ever spent. I bought a total of 6 of ebay. Amazing the things you find out there.

Also my buddy found another electrical problem. Small one and we fixed it.

EVERYTHING IS WORKING NOW!!!

Problem was with the bottom oulet. He checked the top oulet and everything was working. So when I used the bottom outlet things were not working. I am some f-edup electrical but I am replacing it all this summer.

My heart is now better :).

So the Monster Surge really did its job. Damn house still smells like burnt Plastic... But not bad for the scare I had about losing components.

[imaginegrafix]

Awesome - Congrats!!!

Good deal on the ebay coupon too - I almost always look on there or do a goole search for coupons when I'm about to make a big purchase.

Star Trek: TOS and Lost Seaon 4 arrives Friday FINALLY after ordering them a month ago... but for $135 shipped, I was prepared to wait. :D

We also watched Blades of Glory Friday night and Superbad Saturday night.

Blades was entertaining enough... probably worth a rent more than a buy. PQ was decent, but hardly reference.

Superbad was pretty damn funny... at least better than I thought it was going to be especially after being disappointed with Knocked Up. PQ was slightley below average... one again, hardly a reference disk.

No. I'd bite but I'm afraid dlvd might not mean to Canada and I'd hate to see the actual shipping charges to here.

Shipping to Canada wasnt much more. Was $1 more but it takes like a week or 2 to get there. Internation Media I believe is the service

No Best Buys in NY??Wish I had a BB near me.

[PrimeBane]

Just curious, but is anyone seeing any better deals than $299.99 in store for the Toshiba A35?

I'm heading down to Minneapolis/St Paul in about a week and a half and I'd stop to pick one up if the price was right. :)

[ToightLikeATiger]

Just got done watching Super Bad. That was a hilarious movie! Definetly well worth the time. Cant believe the same people who made the piece of junk known as Knocked Up made this movie. Its so much better.

[JaylisJayP]

I'll say what I said before .....
there just isn't enough "new" catalog out there to do any BOGO style sales that look anything different from what we have already seen before

where you going the mall of america?

[PrimeBane]

I'm not sure where I'm going yet... I think my flight gets in around 6pm so I'll probably have to get a hotel for the night and leave the next morning. So I suppose I might hit the mall of america... I'd kinda like to see it and compare it to West Edmonton Mall. :)

If I get lost, will you come find me.? :(

The other guy never got back with me.

[CoachB]

I picked up an extra Shooter on Blu Ray. I would like to trade for a Blades of Glory for it.

Good luck finding someone to do that. Blades of Glory on Blu is much more rare than Shooter.

Not yet... give the details of your 100' sccreen and we'll go from there :)

It's this exact one.

I don't need to make money off of it so it's yours if you want to cover the shipping. It's not top of the line or anything but I get a hell of a picture on it.

[freezerfuel]

Rambo was friggin insane. But the picture was out of focus at my local theatre (either that or I'm just used to HD). Definitely a purchase when it comes out.

Very nice of you to help Primebane out...

[freezerfuel]

Groovy, I'll let you know when I pull the trigger on that other one. Shouldn't be long,

[CoachB]

I want it for the movie not because it's rare. They said shooter was rare also, it's all in the eye of the beholder I guess.Good luck finding someone to do that. Blades of Glory on Blu is much more rare than Shooter.

[PrimeBane]

I want it for the movie not because it's rare. They said shooter was rare also, it's all in the eye of the beholder I guess.

Here's the major problem CoachB.

Shooter was mass produced and readily available in stores for sale.

Blades of Glory never made it to retail... ever... anywhere. If it was mass produced, the disks never made it to retail and were most likely destroyed. It's speculated that any copies that did make it out were demo disks for reviewers and the like. I'd be surprised if 100 Blades of Glory BDs existed world wide.

In other words, if you REALLY want to watch the movie in HD, it would be cheaper and easier for you to go buy yourself an HD DVD player and an HD DVD copy of the movie. :)

Or you can wait 12 months or more for Paramount/Dreamworks to release it...

[JaylisJayP]

[JaylisJayP]

Shooter blu-ray sealed is $40-$45 rare

Blades of Glory on blu-ray is $180-$250 rare

Perfect Storm HD-DVD has a poor video transfer. Sound is really good but in some scenes, the edges are soft. Its still a SLIGHT upgrade from standard DVD but for a movie of such caliber, you'd expect a better video transfer. The video quality is quite dissappointing.

I almost felt like I shoul've saved $8 and just go with regular DVD for that movie.

[kawai7]

By the way, does anyone know if anywhere is still offering the 5 HD-DVD free for purchasing the 360 HD-DVD drive add-on? I noticed the price went back from the $129.99 sale price to the $179.99 original retail price.

Dammit... I was looking forward to watching this one (it was one of my free movies in the box with my A2).

It's really a shame... the DVD version looked very good when it came out. :(
