From what I understand, Jackson (and his team) have written two movies, which deal with the events that all take place during the rough timeline of The Hobbit novel. There is more in the scripts than was in the novelthough, as they have incorporated other events from Tolkein's writting, such as...
So to add more confusion to the mix. I picked this up yesterday, using Bill Hunt's description, looking for the case lacking the "2-Disc Set" printing. My local BB had three copies, all three were lacking the "2-Disc Set" on the back. The inner case has the serial number ending in 515...
Not to continue the "thread of black boxes" but WOW, Josh, I did not realize that point, although it raises a lot of questions. I am really liking where this show is going.
As much as I love Polk audio products, I have had several systems with Polk speakers.
The RM 75's speakers never really impressed me. I preferred their previous model sub/sat systems like the 6700.

I have only listened to the Energy Take 5 series in...
First, yes, the Oppo has an internal decoder for all lossless formats, and they can be sent to Amp/Pre-Amp/Receiver via the analog outs.
Yes it is also true for SACD (and DVD-A)
The Oppo supports 5.1, in the audio settings, you can tell it downmix to 5.1 anything that is 7.1.
Just a quick update:
First, yes Oppo has the BDP-83 available on their website, Amazon is also selling it (staring July 6th)

Second, with the latest beta version of Oppo's firmware, I now have no issues with HDCD...
I have a pair of Polk Audio Lsi 7s in Ebony for sale. These have been used as my surrounds and I am upgrading. I have all original packaging, manuals etc. asking $400 Polk Audio - LSi Series Loudspeakers
Not a detailed review but a couple of random thoughts on this player. I received the BD 83 last week, but did not have a chane to install it until last night. I spent about two hours with it sampling various BD and SD DVD scenes to give a quick test drive. Set up was a breeze, every optin has...
a slightly different view of the sales numbers from The Hollywood Reporter (via yahoo news) http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070601/film_nm/hidef_dc_1
So 47000 (Pirates on BD) * $25 = $1,175,000 and 13900 (Matrix sets on HD DVD) * $100 = 1,390,000 Assuming no one bought the Ultamite...
I posted earlier in this thread that I watched CoM on my XA1 (firmware 2.0) with no problems, and that was true until last night. I had a friend over to watch it (he had never seen it) and at first the diks took a lot longer to load than a "normal" HD DVD, and longer than I remember it taking to...
Precisely because Monday is a holiday, unlike Easter and Mother's Day, many people go out of town on long weekends, therefore HBO would rather skip a week than risk lower ratings due to people not being home.
No freezing issues on my HDDVD copy, viewed on an XA2 Firmware 2.0 How do you figure that Tosh has dropped support since they are still releasing firmware updates to first gen machines?
I'm not sure I understand the whole "pussy" thing either, pretty much everyone in this series uses an "automatic" pistol vice a revolver, also the sound of the shot does not indicate auto vs. revolver. Regarding evidence left behind, it looked like he was wearing white surgical gloves, but I...
And now we see through the "Casino Royale ships 100,000 copies" battle cry, so they shipped 100k, but only sold about 30K. Overall, not very impressive number for either format
Can someone post an Enterprise finale synopsis in spoiler text for someone (like me) who gave up on Enterprise after the first season. I am curious to know how it ended that has casued so much controversy.
Have you ever thought about seeking professional help? ;) Seriously though, I think Borat would make a nice BD, lots of out-takes etc. (it's a Fox title so no HD DVD) HI FIVE!
Lots of good titles in there. I am looking forward to BSG and Heroes!! However if Uni decides to go for both formats, methinks the "war" will be very close to being over.
Regarding Hiro's father knowing about his powers, IIRC the first episode started with Hiro at his desk making the clock stop, the olny person he told before coming to the US was Ando. During the conversation he had with Dad (Sulu,) he only referred to his mission, not any powers, so daddy may...
