    Battlestar Galactica: Any news on Blu-ray Release ?

    The picture on the dvd's is so bad, on purpose (excessive grain) that I cannot imagine this will look good on Blu ....I hope I am wrong as I love this show.

    Denon AVR-3808CI: An Overview

    I would love it if I could update my 3808 with a new version of the Reon. The only thing is that this would require new hardware (the actual Reon chip), I don't think they could do it with a firmware update, unless they planned to have this update capability ahead of time. I am using my...

    Scratch factor

    I have not bought into either format yet but have read about people getting severely scratched HD DVD's. I was not too surprised about this as scrathed and scuffed discs with all manner of marking have plagued dvd for years. I have been more interested in Blu ray because the discs are...

    A Few Words About A few words about... ™ 12 Monkeys -- in HD-DVD

    I can't agree strongly enough with the point about double-dipping. I have about 1200 dvds in my collection and there is no way I will replace all of them on an HD disc format. I will however replace certain discs (not all) if they are superior to a significant degree over the sd version. This is...

    Best A/V Quality Widescreen Box Set?

    I just bought Stargate seasons 1-8 on Dec.26th for $154.(Can$)at the London Drugs Boxing Day Sale. I have not viewed them as of yet. Anybody have any idea how much of an improvement the Blu-ray versions will likely be? Of course I don't think I would get the same deal on new versions and...

    Wild Palms...Finally on 10/05 (MERGED)

    I have been waiting forever for this to come out on dvd. According to the Digital Bits this will be released as a two disc set by MGM on October 10. I can't wait to get this mini series which was one of my favorites. I wish they would release some other mini series too. A few off the top...

    Potential of an X-File TV HD Release?

    I am just seeking some feedback. I bought X-FILES season 1-8 a few weeks ago at Future Shop for $399. They had it packaged and wrapped in plastic as one package. I have not opened it yet and am kind of thinking I might take it back. A few reasons that I am thinking about this: 1) I have...

    New Rocky DVD Anthology? See POST #191 on UPDATE for those who did not receive bonus disc

    I bought mine at A&B Sound and both stores had the sets that came with the extra disc....sticker was on the front.. ...I also had checked at Future Shop...no sticker on front indicating it came with the bonus disc........ $36.99 (up and down loonie) not bad.

    Predator 2 special ed

    I like P2, a fun movie. The thing they need to fix from the current release is the audio ......I thought it was very weak and did not have much surround ....mostly front speakers and poor dynamic range.............no reason for this

    Hitachi 51F510 or 51S500..here is the deal

    I believe that the Future Shop $1999. sale which was in their previous flyer was for the 51F500 and not the 51S500. The picture quality of the 51F510 looks vastly inferior to the 51S500........I compared them closely.....lack of detail in comparison.........new one is slimmer and exactly...

    High Plains Drifter ?

    avoid the Region 1 disc....the current one is a massive joke full of debris in the print........I actually took this back to A&B sound as defective because of this and they took it back

    Hitachi ...51s715

    Finally there is a picture of the new cabinet....someone has posted it in a thread at AVS forum.....looks nice....would be better with all black screen surround but, even on the top there is a thin black strip. They are supposed to appear within a month...hope so:) :emoji_thumbsup:

    Hitachi ...51s715

    Thanks for the measurements Miles. I guess that is about 3 or 4 inches slimmer than previous models....which is an improvement. I can't wait to check one out......

    Hitachi ...51s715

    I am trying to get some pictures and dimensions for this tv that is supposed to come out in the 3rd quarter. They are supposed to be slimmer this year. Do a Yahoo search on this model number for detail....I am just looking for more detail.

    Hopefully no white lines and other visible patterns like their CRT's of the last 3 years or so.

    Target release date 7/20/2004- the version with Gene Hackman?

    I hope it is the Gene Hackman version. This was a very good movie that no one talks about. I still have the full frame laser disc, but, it would be great to get a proper dvd version.:emoji_thumbsup:

    STREETS OF FIRE Universal Ultimate Edition?

    I would love to see the Special Edition of this with all the features listed in the first post (not just because Pare is my ex brother in law either). The movie is actually good and the music/soundtrack are amazingly good. I think the sales figures would have been much higher for this title...

    Yamaha RX-V3300

    Mark, Since you have this unit at your store, can you tell me if it has the lighted remote. From the pictures on the US and CANADIAN sites it looks like it is not lighted. This would be an unfortunate downgrade from prior equivalent models. Thanks

    This unit has been available in my city for at least 2 weeks as I saw it at the South Side A&B sound situated next to a gold RX-V3200. Could not check it out as others were dominating the room at the time.

    Total Recall SE - new packaging

    I just bought the BASIC INSTINCT keepcase version yesterday at A&B Sound. I saw it a week and a half ago but did not get it until yesterday. It is the unrated directors cut inside, the same disc as the Ice Pick version. The picture and sound are both very good (I never viewed the first non...

    Still hoping for THE LITTLE RASCALS boxed set VOLUME 2

    Ron, the 6 disc set you speak of was available last Christmas at my local Wal Mart locations. It was priced at $49.99 (CND) and I did not buy it but should have. I have not seen it anywhere since, but the singles are floating around. As far as a second set, I have not seen one. Ms. Crabtree...
