There may be another thread for this topic. If there is let me know. I'm looking for a thread which compares the various versions of today's TLJ release. Seems like Best Buy has a metal box. Target has a mini Art of TLJ book and a Porg featurette. Not sure what Amazon has if anything. I'm...

Thanks, One thing we have noticed is that we do need to turn the volume up fairly high with the Blu Ray player. (in the 40-50 range) That means it is imperative that we remember to reduce the volume before shifting to our regular DVR, or Cable lest we blow the speakers on the TV

Thanks for all of the advice. The digital to analog audio converter and cable arrived today. Set everything up and it works fine. Cable length was fine. The 3ft digital audio cable, combined with my existing 6ft analog audio cables, was more than enough. Tested the new Blu-Ray player out...

Thanks Mike. I've been looking on the Monoprice website. Here's what I'm looking at. Want to make sure I've made the right choice before I place the order: Cable: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=102&cp_id=10236&cs_id=1023603&p_id=2681&seq=1&format=2 Converter...

As a follow up, here's the coaxial digital audio cable I'm looking at. http://www.amazon.com/Monster-450DCX-Digital-Audio-3-28ft/dp/B00L9HQT5S/ref=sr_1_7?s=audio-video-accessories&ie=UTF8&qid=1419230354&sr=1-7&keywords=digital+audio+cable

Thanks for advice. Any recommendations for Brand or specs? I was looking at items like this on Amazon. Looks like I'll also need a short Digital audio cable to take the out put from the BluRay player and input to the converter. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008JYB93G?psc=1

I am throwing myself at the mercy of the HTF collective. I've got a situation here where I thought I had figured out a solution but have not met with success: Prior situation: Blu-Ray player: Samsumg Model #BD-D5700, model Code BD-D5700/ZA Video Output included HDMI Audio Output included RCA...

Interesting discussion. I'll throw a few more comments out there in response to some of the posts. I wasn't saying that the intention of the studios, when offering the DVD/BluRay combos, was so I could have a spare DVD for the kids. Frankly, I really didn't care why they were doing it...

It appears that Disney, along with most other studios, have decided to discontinue the practice of selling a DVD/Blu-Ray combo pack. I first noticed this with the release of the Captain America sequel, and now I see it's the same thing with Guardians of he Galaxy and Days of Future past. This...

Does anyone know if there is a combo pack with Blu-Ray and DVD? That's what we picked up for The First Avenger, and we'd like that flexibility with this film as well! Blu-Ray at home, portable DVD player for the car, etc. You know how it is

I'm disappointed that Disney decided not to include both versions of the film on this Blu Ray release. Given the length of the film, and the greater capacity of the Blu Ray disc, I would think it would have been a relatively simple option to provide. Don't they realize that they would sell...

Ha! Back again. As it happened, I did end up buying the 20th Anniversary edition DVD of The Princess Bride. I did so for a number of reasons: The most clever artwork I've seen on a DVD cover Best Buy had a special package which included a Princess Bride T-Shirt with Fezzik on it I thought that...

Thanks for the review. Is there any place to compare sales prices, unique packaging or special versions from Target or Best Buy or anything like that?

Thanks, I only need a 6 ft or 2 meter cable. I will check out that website

I know nothing about HDMI cable quality. I was looking for an inexpensive cabel to connect my LG Blu Ray player to my Vizio Flat panel television. (As you can tell, I'm relatively frugal with my Home theater technology buys) Anyway, this Amazon deal shows good reviews, and they appear to be...

I think I'll go by the name Cha-Cha Khan

Greetings All, I'm looking to pick up Beatles Rock Band for the Wii. I've heard that if you get the full Beatles rock band set, those instruments won't work on other Rock Band tracks. SO, I'm thinking about getting the Rock Band 2 set (with the guitar, drums, mic) and then buying the Beatles...

Tried again with the HDMI to DVI cable. This time following the detailed technical spec directions to connect HDMI to DVI, which means connecting the cable to the player first, then the TV, with both devices off....THEN turining on the TV...waiting at least 30 seconds....then turing on the...

Thanks Chad, I tried the HDMI - DVI with the following adapter: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10419&cs_id=1041902&p_id=2029&seq=1&format=2 No Luck, the adapter seems to fit okay (there are a few more holes on the female set commection than there are pins in...

Braved Black Friday for the first time ever last week. One of the items I bought was an LG BD270 Blu-ray disc player. Yes, I finally decided to upgrade. I was surprised to find that the Blu-Ray player had minimal connection options: HDMI out Video Out (Composite - Yellow) 2 Channel Audio...

Whenever this question comes up, I always throw this classic out there...I may have already done it earlier in this thread, who knows? 1998 - Cupid (ABC) starring Jeremy Piven and Paula Marshall. Could be my favorite TV show of all time...was moved around and not promoted well by ABC at...

I also wonder whatever happened to this Yule Love it special edition. I've held off buying Scrooged on DVD (still have it on VHS) because I keep thinking this special edition will be released. I'll probably go ahead and buy it on DVD this year...somewhere else on here I read it was $7.49 at...

Greetings All, With the coming conversion to Digital broadcast, my family is considering making some significant changes in our TV viewing habits. However, I have no idea if our plan is even feasible, so I thought I throw it out here and see what you all thought. We have two TVs in our...

Agreed, the artwork is VERY cool...might be enough to ask Santa for this new version...technically, only a double dip for me...

Can't believe it's been 20 years! This is one of my all time favorite movies, but I am leery of the need for a double dip. I bought the "Special Edition" years ago and resisted the "Buttercup" and "Dread Pirate Roberts" editions last year. Anybody know what is "new" for this release? Is it...

Well, I for one, voted for Cupid which had been on the top of my list for intelligent, witty TV shows that were cancelled too soon, and have yet to make it to DVD. Thankfully, three others on my list: SportsNight, The Tick and Freaks and Geeks, I happily own on DVD. Kinda glad the other shows...

I thought this was supposed to be out on October 31st. However, I can find no trace of this release anywhere. Did something happen? Did the release get pushed out? If so, for how long? I always thought Halloween was a silly date to bring out a Christmas movie...but I hope it's not delayed a...

Thanks David, based upon that review, I think I will stick with what I have...

Here's hoping there's a HTF Review coming this week for this release. At this point, there's not enough "there" there to make me buy this DVD again, and this is a Top 5 all-time movie for me...
