My cylinder came today. Oh my god, it's gigantic. I'm not even hooking it up until my audio buddy can come do it since I have no faith in my cabling of a $600 sub, but just looking at it until then is getting me giddy.

Haha, funny that I was just coming here to post and you happened to bump it for me Mike... I purchased the PCi 20-39 today (much to my wallet's crying for mercy). I cannot wait til this bad boy comes! I was also looking at other options, and I really was strongly considering the Epik Knight...

Thanks for your help, Robert - It's not open to any other rooms, and I try to listen close to reference levels and I do watch a wide variety of movies, mostly action, comedy, and drama (So I guess...everything?) The SR-606 came today, my CSi25 comes tomorrow...Still need some rears as the...

So, now that I've got my first real job since leaving college a year ago and a steady income, I've decided to kick the $250 Onkyo HTIB to the curb and upgrade to a decent starter system. I'm really only looking for 5.1 right now since my room is small (looking to move into a townhome in the next...

Got my Ultimate and Complete sets - Ultimate is out of 103k, but it's toward the end of the run which leads to the idea that the limited number is for all sets combined. Also opened my Complete set and my disc 5 is correct.

I'm just going with what people have reported - There's definitely no way there are 103,000 sets for both BD/HD - Something like 10k each for BD and HD is far more likely, if the Canadian number is strictly that, I won't have my briefcase until Saturday at the earliest to see what my # is...

Worse customer service than Amazon? I've gone completely amazon-exclusive with the vast majority of my purchases. No tax, free shipping (or if I want it fast, other options are available), and most of the time the best prices (especially with BOGOs and my additional 10% off for HDM). And if...

Maybe if the Blu-Ray spec wouldn't be a horrible mess at this point, Universal would've jumped shipped and this would have never been a problem. Bill Hunt does not come off well at all - he makes it sound like the Blu-Ray camp has been completely up to par thusfar, which they have been well...

Mr. Harris, thank you for your recommendation on this disc. I would have never watched this otherwise, being that the film precedes my birth by 17 years and I previously had little interest in Westerns. The excellent presentation and beautiful cinematography put this in my top 5 as far as...

Hmmm, I'm going to have to side with Mr. Harris on this side of the argument. I've never once been let down by his recommendations. I took a peak at this over the weekend, and it looked fantastic! I think I'll watch it on Saturday.

Blind buy for me on this yesterday after Mr. Harris' recommendation - Can't wait to watch it soon.

This is the second time an analogy like this has been used, and its completely out of place. The film is the most important part here - and we are getting every cut in HD. The extras, while still a part of the history of the film, are not the film itself - similar to bonus tracks, I...

HD-DVD:16 Blu-Ray:0 I'll be format neutral once I decide to pick up a PS3.

As long as the cuts of the film themselves are in HD, I'm thrilled. Next up I'd want trailers, "Dangerous Days", and the Deleted Scenes in HD if possible, but them not being in it wouldn't be a dealbreaker. Featurettes can be in SD for all I care as I'll watch them once at most and never...

Courtesy of Bill Hunt @ The Digital Bits - I e-mailed them last night. :) "In the meantime, with all of the MAJOR news announcements of the last couple of days, there have been a lot of follow-up questions. So I've been busy calling and e-mailing studio contacts to get answers to as many of...

At the same time, there is also a $20 dollar increase on the "Ultimate" edition list price, so perhaps Warner is *gasp* pushing HD? Here's hoping!

Ugh, that would be infuriating if that were the case. And honestly, it sounds like you could possibly be right. Here's hoping that's not.

Well, prices sound official then. I guess it makes sense. Unlike something like The Matrix collection, we are really only getting one film. So I ordered both the briefcase set, and the complete set, and I paid way less then I expected. Being borderline OCD is no good, but this is...

Well, I went ahead and pre-ordered both the Ultimate and Complete collection for 94.50 shipped from Amazon with Standard Shipping, and my 10% savings from buying HD-DVD's on amazon last year promotion. That means the 5 disc complete collection was only 24.50 or so. Doesn't Amazon have a...

Zack, I'm glad I'm not the only one with this opinion - I was going to post something very similar. I'm almost always disappointed with work that WETA has done. Like "This is good, yes...but could be better." Other times, it's downright bad. I'd be willing to put WETA behind R&H, who I...

It's films like this that make me think it can't be THAT hard to get a screenplay picked up out in Hollywood. I could have penned that crap script on the plane flight out to LA to pitch the story - some of the laziest writing I have ever seen. Thomas Haden Church was vastly underutilized -...

Wow - that trailer was incredible. I watched Happy Feet in HD last night, and was stunned how good that looked - but this is on an entirely different level. Every time I think someone has caught Pixar, they turn around and hit us with something like this.

Zodiac is a definate buy for me - my early #1 film of 2007. A must see, IMO.

Not too happy about lossy audio, but my favorite film of 2006 (just ahead of Children of Men) and an absolute no brainer buy for me. Thank god the cover art was updated to something acceptable, that first draft used colors that weren't even in the freaking film.

Awesome, mine shipped today as well! I did super saver cause I'm cheap, but I usually get them by Friday, so I'll be watching it this weekend hopefully. Caught it 4 times in theaters and there was absolutely no chance I would be buying it in anything less then HD. My #2 of 2006 (probably #1...

This was the shortest 2 hour 40 minute film I've ever seen. Seriously, another hour could have been thrown in if it were of the same quality, and I would have been glued with my eyes wide open. Hurdy Gurdy Man will not stop playing in my brain. Easily the best film I've seen this year...

Oh man, that Trailer not only has the same freaking song, its also like spoiler alert city. Really, really wish I hadn't watched that, but my interest is piqued even further.

Great news there, Tim - I really hope it is day and date with HD-DVD, and I'm pissed I had previous arrangements and missed the Warner chat and that no one else managed to ask about the HD with them! Even though it was my favorite (or 2nd favorite, I haven't decided) film of 2006, I will not...

Funny this came back up - In my comic books class (yes, that is really a course offered at my university and yes, it actually is quite engaging) we read American Splendor and then watched the film. While Giametti was great in the film, if you were disappointed with the film Tim, I would...

OK Amazon, whenever you are ready to put this up for pre-order, I'm waiting...
