Pre-ordered. I haven't seen this film since I was a kid and I'm sure that was a chopped up and edited TV version. Can't wait to revisit this classic in all it's glory.

Hello, HTF. It's been years since I've posted anything here. At any rate, the only blu-ray I got for Christmas was Elysium. But in the following days I went out and bought World War Z, The Worlds End, and Hunger Games.

For what it's worth, it played fine on my 60 gig PS3.

Does anyone know the basic equivalent of the green button on a PS3? (For those not using any kind of remote...)

Just wanted to share a video with you folks, that may clear up a couple minor things. 1) There is NO external power supply or "brick" (ala the Xbox 360) despite what John Koller of Sony originally stated. That is clearly evident in the video I am going to post below. 2) The hard drive is...

I couldn't disagree more. About wanting a menu at the beginning of a disc, anyway. I can see your point as far as configuring the sound goes, but I would much rather jump right into a movie, changing the sound option on the fly, and getting right into the film itself. No new menus, please.

You should be able to used the firmware burned to either a CD or DVD. It doesn't matter, as the PS3 reads both.

Oh my God, I hate those things! I almost feel like I need to get out a soldering iron to remove the damn things. It probably wouldn't be a big deal, but they block the back of the coverart, which often has the chapter listings.

It's basically the scene where Captain Jack and Will Turner are sword fighting for the first time in the place Will does all his smithing, and they jump around on the beams, so on and so forth. Just before Jack gets caught for the first time. For the whole scene the top of the picture is cut...

I know for a fact that's the reason. At least according to the management of the customer service in charge of sending out the discs. I just got off the phone with them. I called in to make a complaint, as their customer service has really been lacking on this issue. It's been over a month...

Wow. Disney is really starting to piss me off. After a month of waiting for them to just reply to my email, they finally (after about another week and a half) send me my "mailer." But it's just a label. And the instructions say to send the DVD along with it's case back to them, using the...

Internet petitions are meaningless. I've never seen one that had any effect on anything.

Could someone explain to me why everytime digital distribution is mentioned, it's always in the context of it being the dominant and sole means of watching movies in the future? The example people always bring up is i-tunes. Has i-tunes completely replaced cd's? Maybe in terms of profits, but...

I have to say, David, I also don't understand this mindset that people are owed something because their side has seemingly lost. When you're an early adopter of any format, you're taking a gamble. That's the way it's always been. Don't get me wrong, I feel for the people who've invested a...

I certainly don't disagree that could and probably will happen in many cases. However, they just don't have the numbers to make any format "sink." (I'm talking specifically of current HD DVD owners here.) I'm just saying, the BDA isn't going to worry about disgruntled HD DVD fans. Right or...
