I rarely post here, but I never, ever miss the roundup. It's a great resource I'm finding it hard to live without. Get well soon Mike, this place ain't the same without you.

I just received this set as a gift in new, sealed condition. When I opened the box, there was no booklet included, only the dvds. Two questions: 1) Should the booklet have been included? All the reviews I have read mention a booklet. 2) If so, anyone know how I can contact Warner Home Video...

I'll go with some less obvious choices: 1. Strange Days. Underrated cyberpunk movie, never had an anamorphic transfer. 2. Until the End of the World (all versions). Another underrated cyberpunk movie from the 90's. I've owned the theatrical cut LD, extended Jap LD, and Italian DC dvd. I no...

+1 I used to buy at least one title a week, now it's one per month, if that.

Mark Cuban's blog has a contact form: Contact blog maverick. I have no idea if he actually reads this stuff, but it's worth a shot. Edit: Now that I think about it, he has quoted emails in his blog, so he probably does read them.

The comic shop I went into only gave away 1 book per person. I told them never mind.

I agree. I'm format neutral, but I can't believe some of the more insensitive posts I've read on this forum from Blu fanboys. My sister bought into HD-DVD so her son could have Transformers and Shrek (she couldn't afford to buy into both), and when I told her of Warner's move, she was crushed. I...

Just worked for me.

Still working as of tonight. I went to two different CC's in the Dallas area. Any HD title 29.99 and under is B1G1 Free. I got Transformers for $15.

Anyone know if an HD release of Death Proof or the Grindhouse double feature is coming any time soon?

A couple of weeks ago, I flew Dallas to Miami (via American) and Miami to Madrid (via Iberia). When I got to Madrid, I was told my bags had missed the flight and would be there the next day (this is the standard line of B.S. when an airline has no idea where your bags are). I created a missing...

No HD release for Zodiac?

I haven't had a chance to play around my new gear yet. I'll try it out this weekend and report back. I am certainly hoping that TrueHD will be passed ok over HDMI as PCM. I am now wondering why Onkyo bothered with on-board lossless audio decoders if no player will pass lossless bitstream data...

I just bought an Onkyo TXSR605 receiver with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA decoders, mainly so I could pass lossless audio via HDMI. I know that no existing player will pass the DTS-HD MA track raw bitsream, but is this the case with Dolby TrueHD as well? If I can't send a TrueHD track in raw...

The Canon Elph models look like what I'm looking for. I'll check those out. Thanks.
