Nice, someone else who liked Flyboys. The blu is amazing, as well. I want to revisit this one now that I have a new receiver.

I really enjoyed Flyboys. I thought it was a very very good movie. Pure eye candy on BR.

Any Canadians try price-matching this at all?


BB Canada will not match BB USA...unless you find some real idiot new employee in the store.

I swear I hate Fox, the people there are ******ed. So you get people ready for Prison Break by releasing season 1 on Blu-ray then what do you do next? You've only got 3 seasons total so which season should you release after season 1? Oh I know what Fox will do, lets go directly to season 3. I swear they are the crappiest company ever, they cancel good tv shows, they overprice everything that they are associated with and their blu-ray plans have always been absolutely terrible.

Picked up Ocean's 11 today, finally.

Best Buy had Shinobi out for $19.99. I resisted the impulse and left it there. Judging from the few reviews rottentomatoes has on it, that was a good idea.

I know that deal's going on at Best Buy. I saw the tickets there today, although Narnia doesn't come out until tomorrow.

Geez, you can buy Master and Commander on DVD for TEN CENTS on Amazon Marketplace right now.

Really makes it difficult to fork over $30 for a decent step up in audio and video.

Almost forgot, my wife and I watched The Island HD DVD last night. First time we'd seen the movie and we loved it.

OK so I've had this Icon universal remote from x10.com for a few weeks now.
I've got to say I am very impressed with it.
It's very easy to set up and fully (and I mean fully) customizable.
You can program absolutely any button on the remote to do anything you like.
For instance when the remote is on the DVR setting (the one I use most to control the DVR cable box) I set the volume buttons to control the volume for the surround sound system since I never use the regular TV volume.
The LCD screen allows you to program for those odd buttons you may come across and label them so you know what they are (i.e. my DVR remote has A B and C buttons for use when navigating recorded show menus)

I've never used a Harmony remote so I can't give a fair comparison, but with this remote coming in at 50 bucks.....I could not be happier with it.

The his and her favorite channel buttons with logo icons is pretty sweet too.

For anyone interested this is the site
http://www.x10.com/iconremote/icon_universal_remote_ps_lp1023.html

keep in mind this screen has a rotating price. It comes up as 49.99, 59.99, 69.99 or 79.99. (I find it crappy that they do this)
Just keep opening the page in a new window until the low price comes up.

I was surprised that my FYE's still have used HD DVDs for sale at a reasonable price. Mark down 10% if you're a backstage pass holder and you can get some of these for $11-13.

Off the top of my head I got Enchanted, ID4, Michael Clayton, and Walk Hard. But I'm probably gonna wait until I get the entire list...so i can FIRST OFFER IT AS A LOT...before I sell off individually. Don't want to ruffle any feathers :)

All I found was Narnia today. Another awful hunting day. You'd think with the battle won people would at least order a couple copies of everything. If it was sold out it would be different I'd feel like it was my own fault but no one in the area getting Master & Commander? No one getting Youth Without Youth? The only 2 movies I found were Narnia and Untraceable and I refuse to buy Untraceable after reading how god awful it was. I like Diane Lane, but not that much.

[JaylisJayP]

I got Narnia - price matched to $24, plus the free Prince Caspian movie coupon (that I was going to see with my wife anyway) at Best Buy and the $10 mail-in for owning the DVD means the net cost is about $6.

I did find Master and Commander at Target for $35 - no sale, sorry.

Target and Circuit City also had Mrs. Doubtfire for $35. I'm not buying this one anyway, but I can't imagine they're selling this to many people at that price, it's just absurd.

[R. Giles]

I picked up Narnia, Casino Royale, and Flyboys. Watched at little bit of Flyboys before Reaper came on and Flyboys is awesome in Blu-ray.

The Golden Compass was alright but I can see why a lot of people hated it.

Disney BD-Live features...

BD-Live offerings to date have been pretty tame, but Disney's got a few tricks up its sleeve for the first release in its Platinum Edition series, Sleeping Beauty. Blu-ray owners with compatible hardware will be able to chat with friends during the movie using a laptop, BlackBerry or other PDA, make video messages and send them to others, play trivia games, and earn points used to trade in for ringtones, wallpaper or other items. From the moment the disc hits the tray, the iconic castle will feature a backdrop sync'd with weather conditions in the viewer's hometown. As noted in USA Today some owners of Blu-ray players sans-internet will miss out, but with a street date of October 7, there's still time to grab a PS3 or one of the compatible standalone boxes coming on the market. Customer desire for next gen networked features hasn't always been incredibly enthusiastic, but we suspect once the 'tween group gets into this (and High School Musical 3 hits Blu-ray) things could change

Samsung BD-P1500 in stock

Remember that April June release date that Samsung just threw out not even a month ago for its twice-delayed BD-P1500? Yeah, apparently that's not entirely accurate. A few shots here prove that the firm's latest BD-Live-ready Blu-ray deck is indeed hitting at least some store shelves already, with this particular one being spotted in a San Diego Wal-Mart. Better still, the price was pegged at $348, or a full $51 less than the published MSRP. In other words, keep a sharp eye out for this puppy -- it's probably worth the extra $50 over the Funai NB500.

Kmart has Twiser for $20.99 plus $5.00 off. They are having $5.00 any BR sale this week

Chris

[JaylisJayP]

There's usually no coupon for Disney catalog titles, just the new releases. The catalog titles like The Rock, Con Air and now Narnia have the mail-in rebate.

New releases like Enchanted, Game Plan and Dan in Real Life have had the scanned coupon.

[JaylisJayP]

Anything on Twister? Is it worth buying on Blu-Ray? Any coupons or discounts if you own it already?

In my opinion, definitely worth owning. 4-star PQ, 5-star audio. I think Target.com had it for $18.97, you can print that out and try to get Best Buy to price match, that's what I did.

Your PS3 is decoding the audio and passing it through to the receiver as PCM. Your receiver will pass the audio through to the speakers untouched, but since it's not doing the decoding itself, your receiver won't display DTS-HD MA. It wouldn't anyway because the 720 doesn't decode that or TrueHD on it's own.

Rest-assured, you are still getting the lossless audio.

Just make sure your PS3 is set to PCM and not bitstream.

That's because the PS3 will not output the raw DTS-HD MA or TruHD to the receiver (decoding is done on board and sent as LCPM to the receiver via HDMI). If you set the PS3 to auto or select the LPCM output that your receiver can handle, you'll be good to go. :)

If you can, take that Mon$ter cable back (if you paid a small fortune for it) and get one from www.monoprice.com (http://www.monoprice.com) instead.

At least watch the movie before you make up your minds. It's not great, but it's better than a lot of the movies that I see you guys buy. It's mindless action with a little bit of comedy and it doesn't try to be anything else.

Doomsday Review (http://www.nerdsociety.com/?p=337)

[Smbdyfnkillme]

For the record: I loved Doomsday and I will be buying it on release. It was just so much fun throughout the entire movie. There's no epic story. It's just good action all the way through.

The other two people I went with didn't really care for it so I know it's not for everybody.

I wonder if it would sound that much better... Interesting.

Thanks. I will see if I can find another movie

Best Buy has a $19.99 blu sale this week so I grabbed Appleseed Ex Machina. :)

Some of the other titles available were Goodfellas, Resident Evil 2 and Con Air.

They're 2 for $30, it's just not advertised in store.

Great pickup on Appleseed, though. The movie rocks.

Got a copy of Dead Silence HD DVD combo for $13 dlvd.

[jackliveshere]

Your PS3 is decoding the audio and passing it through to the receiver as PCM. Your receiver will pass the audio through to the speakers untouched, but since it's not doing the decoding itself, your receiver won't display DTS-HD MA. It wouldn't anyway because the 720 doesn't decode that or TrueHD on it's own.

Rest-assured, you are still getting the lossless audio.

Just make sure your PS3 is set to PCM and not bitstream.

Yeah, I know that much - I just could have sworn I saw DTS-MA and Dolby True HD in the PS3 menu where all the checkboxes are. Now it only lists all the LPCM boxes and then the Dolby Digital & DTS. My receiver displays "PCM 48khz" when I'm watching Blu Ray so I think that's right. I have the audio set to HDMI & LPCM.

The Monster Ultra 1000 only cost me $30 off ebay, otherwise I wouldn't have touched it. Thanks Guys!

Anybody need an Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on? I'd trade it for a couple movies....

[JaylisJayP]

is Appleseed Ex Machina any good?

In my opinion one of the best sci-fi/action movies ever...animated or live action.

I'd recommend renting the first one. You don't HAVE to watch it, but it definitely helps.

[johnnyknoxsvill]

Just got back from BestBuy. I had to take back in my BP1400 again since Samsung didn't fix the disk tray the first time. Sad thing is I only opened it less then 5 times.

Its the same movies either way. You'll just have to pay an extra few bucks to get them that day from BB

[JaylisJayP]

Nice, The Doors coming out soon. I liked this movie and I'll probably pick it up. Should be pretty cheap being a Lionsgate catalog title...fingers crossed.

Damn, Shipping sucks from Frys

[WingNut 25]

Dogma is worth it.

Not sure if I'll grab anything from that sale that I don't have. Not a huge fan of any of the titles I don't own.

[oaktown2000]

Yeah you don't rock as hard as I originally thought grif.........Run Lola Run and Dogma are nowhere to be found online :(

And by the time I add in the shipping for just Baron Munchausen...it's no longer a great deal. So no order from me :o

[oaktown2000]

Correction........you do ****ing rock......again!!

Although those titles don't come up under Frys/Movies/Blu Ray list.....if you search based on title, it will find them.....so I did get Dogma, RLR, and Baron Munchausen :D

[HollandX]

how much is fry shipping?

[oaktown2000]

For 3 titles...ground shipping was $7 something...not too bad. I wouldn't just buy one title though...cause then you get raped.....in the butt......on youtube.

Oak.....maybe in the future we can piggyback on each other's purchases on Frys.com sales if we're both getting something to save on shipping? I wanted 1 title from this one but like you so eloquently said earlier, the shipping on 1 item is ridiculous.

I really enjoyed that movie as well. Let me ask you this....Didnt you think Joquin Pheonix was so much better in that movie then you expected him to be? Also were you suprised how underutilized Mark Whalberg was? He wasnt that usual tough guy character you expect from him.

I wasn't surprised with Phoenix's performance (because I already knew he was a great actor) so much as I was just in awe of it. He was definitely the standout. Walberg wasn't that great, I thought, and Duvall's character didn't really call for that much, so he wasn't that great, either. But yeah, Joaquin Phoenix was amazing in it.

Saw V for Vendetta Blu-ray last night sitting in our warehouse. We got about 10 copies in for Tuesday. Got about 30-40 copies of National Treasure 1 & 2 Blu's in as well. Also got in 3-4 copies each of Italian Job and Flags of our Fathers, both old Paramount/Dreamworks titles.

[johnnyknoxsvill]

How much were the catalog Paramount titles, 19.99 or 24.99?

[MPCanes]

Great speakers for that price.

[MPCanes]

Chris, can you recommend some good rears and a center to pair them with?

I usually try to match them with speakers from the same "series", but I can't seem to find their equivalent center or rear speakers on the Polk site.

Also looks like I'll need to upgrade my receiver, and I guess buy an amp?

Although I have no problem upgrading my surround system in general, it is pure garbage $250 HT in a box (from Onkyo at least).

When playing older games, is it possible to view them in 4:3? I hooked up my Nintendo 64 last night to play Majora's Mask and the television stretched the image to fill the entire screen. I'd rather have the black bars if it made it look better. Is there a setting on Sony Bravia's for this?

On my Samsung there's a button on the remote for "P. Size" where I can make things 4:3 or 16:9. If there's nothing on your remote then check your menu settings.

What movies on here are cheaper at Target?

Short Circuit only 1080i does it matter to you since its so cheap? It has been confirmed by a few people now.

To be honest Its $10.95 at amazon and I think $12.95 at Walmart and I Loved this movie so I will probably pick up anyway.

Is the Target.com price different than the in-store Target price? I've price matched stuff at BB from Target.com before, I think.

What movies on here are cheaper at Target?

Yes, Target.com is Amazon.com for movie prices. I usually cover any connection to amazon and then photocopy the printout, so it just looks like Target. So far it's worked at my BB and CC every time.

I'd have held off buying at Amazon so I could pick it up at Wal-Mart and watch it tomorrow, but my Wal-Marts only seem to get in the day and date new releases for blu-rays.

And to answer your other question, the Rambo movies are significantly cheaper on Amazon than they would be at BB and CC, since I hear both those stores are pricing them at $24.99.

Watched Inside Man on HD DVD last night. Weird movie, not what I was expecting, but everyone was very good in it.

Great PQ and AQ, up near the top of what I've experienced on the format.

Why is it only 1080i?

Now if I had that answer I probably wouldnt be here :D. I would be higher up somewhere making a boat load of money.

Hey-- my buddy is having a big overscan probalem with his DLP tv. specially with his ps3 on hdmi. any advice from you dlp owners?

I didnt think you could adjust overscan in DLP's. I dont remember tho. usually there is a Service Menu you go in to do it. Or the DVE disc will help.

Is it a Samsung?

[HollandX]

yeah, samsung.

[grif32]

yeah, samsung.

I think Samsung DLP's had major problems with overscan issue's. What series does he own.

If you can find the code to get in the service menu then you MIGHT be able to correct it.

If you have never been in the service menu then be VERY VERY careful as you can screw up your TV pretty bad. If you do find the code then write down all the values first before doing anything else.

[johnnyknoxsvill]

We start to get into the whole 1080p and then bam, hey buy this tv it better.

[SmartassBoiler]

Blu-ray is slowly becoming obsolete!

:p

[oaktown2000]

Considering a 52" Westinghouse brand 2160p TV fetches $40,000......it'll be a long, very long time before 2160p becomes the residential norm.....but still cool nonetheless.

[JaylisJayP]

That's crazy. Is the girl in 2160p, too?

[JaylisJayP]

First review of Patton. I always take blu-ray.com reviews with a grain of salt, but how can it get 3.5 out of 5 for audio but still get 5/5 overall? Confusing. Anyway, I might have to add to this my "for sure" list for June 3 now.

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=679&show=review

The screenshots do look amazing.

[johnnyknoxsvill]

What all is everyone getting tomorrow?

[HollandX]

short circuit
national treasure 2 pack

[oaktown2000]

The screenshots do look amazing.

For a movie released in 1970.....those screenshots are absolutely incredible.

[WingNut 25]

Wow! Those screenshots are amazing for an old movie.

[freezerfuel]

Would the human eye even be able to tell the difference between 1080 and 2160? I thought we were pretty much at the peak of what we can do to a picture, unless its 3D or some damn thing.

This is so nice...

Agreed.......I had no previous desire to go out and buy this upon release....but now I think I just might.

[JaylisJayP]

For me tomorrow:

Both National Treasures and Short Circuit already shipped from Amazon. I have V, Blades of Glory and Face/Off on HD DVD already, otherwise I'd get all 3 of those, too.

Saving up for Rambo week next week and then the big June 3 release week.

[TastySweetNutz]

Nothing for me tomorrow. I guess I've become extremely selective when it comes to my new buying habits. But after watching the Indiana Jones trilogy on Sci-Fi channel this past weekend, I'm itching to get that trilogy on BR so badly. Just imagine a melting face in HD!

[SBrooks1]

Patton looks absolutely incredible. That's one Fox title I'll buy instantly. George C Scott is just awesome in it. Great movie!

[SBrooks1]

I must find Blades of Glory today!! :D

[ewto16]

I'll probably pick up V sometime this week. Anyone have any reviews on it?

Amazon.com - Narnia + National Treasure 1 OR 2 = $ 10 off

Chris

[WingNut 25]

I think BB and CC also had some sort of $10 off deal if you bought both National Treasure movies. Amazon still has the best price for the pair, unless of course they jacked the price up.

Quoted from Blu.com

Hi, whats up. figured i would let all those that didn't pre-order this, that I went to Best Buy to price match both for the $39.99, and they also took off another $10.00 because they have a buy 2 get $10.00 off deal on these and Narnia. So, Best Buy gave it to me for 29.99, plus, the $10.00 "upgrade" coupon ends up being $19.99 for both movies when i actually get the check!!

Worth a try but I have a hard time believing it as Best Buy doesn't ever seem to combine deals. I think this guy got lucky.

[R. Giles]

I will probably just pick up both National Treasure movies off of amazon for 40. I just don't see BB doing what happened to that guy very often, they seem more interested in selling even new releases for 30 bucks.

[grif32]

DAMMIT!

If you bought National 1 & 2 last week and want Narnia just call amazon and they will credit your account $10 which you can use for Narnia.

V is STUNNING in HD... definately worth the money if you liked the movie and a big upgrade on the DVD.

[WingNut 25]

I'm going to take the Target.com printout with both movies for $39.99 to BB and see what happens.

Picked myself up a new 360 HD DVD addon as a backup over the weekend... for $20 I figured I couldn't go wrong, especially with the 360 remote and King King in the box. :)

does the $10 upgrade coupon apply to ANY version of national treasure? or just the double dip from last last year?

I'll wait and buy it used. TV shows seem to plummet in price when they are used since usually people only watch them once and sell.

Target.com has both for $39.99 and Walmart.com, priced just 12 cents cheaper, has them as "out of stock", something BB will not price match (I worked there in college so I do know that). Also, the manufacturer coupon states, as the thread pointed out, that it can't be combined with any other offer. This guy got very lucky and I'm willing to bet he'll be in the minority on this one.

It also includes the HOF inductions with Ric Flair and others, including The Rock. Plus, there is the fantastic HBK vs. Flair match. If you like 'rastlin at all, it is probably worth it.

[ewto16]

Does anyone else HATE Nic Cage as much as I do? I wouldn't buy either of those National Treasure movies if they were the only two Blu-rays on Earth, or for that matter the only two movies on Earth.
