I would love it too at that price point but BB won't ship international :O( I don't see the point of these limited release patterns , it plays right into the E-bay scalpers hands . ~M~

Just got the Sopranos Complete Bd set from Spain , discs are fine , menus are fine but the inserts and back cover are in Spanish ; anyone know where I could source the U.S. or other custom artwork ?? The works featured in this thread are stunning ! Reminds me of the International Special...

Its 17 years since I ordered my first of many Region Free players and , frankly , it feels a bit ridiculous to still be talking about it as a topic . What next , Region-Coded 'Burger-Kings ' ? Apple Corp.unable to earn billions outside of U.S. ? Look at the end-titles of any movie and see the...

If it helps with motivation to maybe actually view this set of films is available more affordably here : http://tinyurl.com/qaatsitrilogybd M

I haven't heard it yet but the new Porcupine Tree BD ' Anesthetize' should be something special when it arrives in May judging by Steven Wilson's previous works Dvd and Dvd-A like the the King Crimson Dvd-As and PT's own 'The Incident' . Its not up for order just yet ( any day now ) but it...

They did indeed release ' Grumpy Old Men ' and graced some of the finest american character actors best comedy performances with less extras than the wrong aspect ratio original dvd I also wish they would use 24-bit audio when possible... ~M~

I got a bargain 2nd XE-1 player as backup and , at the moment there are still some good titles due out in Europe . So Im in a holding pattern to wait and see if Profile 2.0 is indeed the final one :) ~M~

I just got my 2nd Xe-1 here in Europe . Found 2 weebsites , one charging less than 50% less than the other and eligible for 5 free discs . I have rather a lot of Sd Dvds and the upscaling comes for free and its Region Free so go to Tibet for your holidays and bring home discs without worrying...

V.interesting post , Josh . I've always been bugged by this subject . When dvd was launched one of the upcoming features to look forward to was 'seamless branching' but ( T2 Ultimate apart) it never really happened to such an extend that when 'Gladiator' was released on dvd in 2000 Ridley Scott...

Of course the ' alternate ending ' to the war could be here first thing in the morning . Release everything in BOTH formats and even the dumbest consumer would be able to make a choice of their own with no help from the U.S. Bank of Warner ;) No confusion just buy whatever you want and no need...

The 51gb HD-Dvd/SD triple-decker will be with us shortly ;) And hopefully they won't find a way to make web-features compulsory ! Space usage has been an issue before . On Sd , they told us to expect movie music soundtracks among the goodies coming our way along with multiple cuts of the film...

+ Another Probably the last time we all agreed was before the 'war' when it made sense that they should have kept talking till there was only 1 format good to go. All this 'SD isnt really good enough ' and ' Hd-Dvd must die and die quickly for the greater good ' patronising BS just doesn't...

Any ideas for candidates behind the Blu revolution ;) ? ~M~

" At this point Toshiba cares only for their own interests, regardless of what damage it may do to HDM adoption. If they can drag this out a little while longer and get a pay-off, even it high-def media suffer as a result, they don't care." Just speculation . Why on earth should they bury a...

I really enjoyed this last night . Like Fincher's other work , this will be getting a lot of replay .Its a real feast for your eyes and ears . ~M~
