    LG BD390 or LG BD370

    I don't use it. I don't even have a netflix account, although one of the points for me in buying it was the ability to stream Netflix. I did hear from a few sources though that streamed netflix does not look that great, basically like standard def. I will tell you that while the player is great...

    LG BD390 or LG BD370

    Well you should be able to get the 390 for $350 at the most.The PQ is excellent, but one drawback is that when you play a disc with multiple angles, like the Star Trek: TOS blu-ray set, anytime a second angle is available the angle icon appears and then flicks off when it is gone. The problem is...

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    Well every ship has a galley. Maybe some officers would rather eat real food instead of computer processed rations. I can also go along with the table as a Captain's indulgence. Sulu decides he wants tea instead of the usual coffee and needs someplace to put his cup and saucer. As far as the...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Incredible Hulk -- in Blu-ray

    I am with you Robert. I did not like the Ang Lee Hule at all. I didn't see it in the movies, but blind bought it when it came out on DVD. I was disappointed to say the least. For me, it just never moved. I thought it was incredibly (no pun intended) slow and took way too long to get going...

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    Well, I know I said much earlier in this thread that I wouldn't buy this set, but since Amazon has it on sale for $64.99 I couldn't resist. Less than $10 a disc including The Captains Summit Bonus Disc. No way could I pass that up.

    Neil Young to release archive on BluRay disc

    I can't remember how I found the website, but I went into my history and found the link: Q&A/FAQ for the NEIL YOUNG ARCHIVES Vol. 1 Most of the stuff in the FAQ is straightforward stuff that people using blu-ray already know, but here is the specific Q and A about your concern: Q- Will...

    Neil Young to release archive on BluRay disc

    They have an FAQ on the Neil Young site in the archives section and I believe one question is will Neil's albums be released on blu-ray in the future and the answer was yes.

    Neil Young to release archive on BluRay disc

    I just looked at it online at Best Buy and the box looks to be the same size as the one I received from Amazon. I don't think Best Buy has any bigger box than anyone else. The 10 Blu-ray or DVD (depending on which set you bought) disc package needs most of that space lengthwise when it is...

    Neil Young to release archive on BluRay disc

    Ok I am just now opening up the box and here are my first impressions: Nice sturdy long rectangular box that opens from the top, put together very well, decorated with old newspaper clipping photos on each side of the box and NEIL YOUNG written in big bold block type going around the entire...

    Neil Young to release archive on BluRay disc

    I pre-ordered it from Amazon months ago and am supposed to get it today. I was really looking forward to it until I saw the disc breakdown. When I saw that 2 of the 10 discs Neil had already released earlier with his Performance Series releases I became a bit bummed. I was able to justify...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Taken -- in BD

    I love this movie and the blu-ray is top notch. Is the story deep? No, but the movie is captivating, exhilirating, wall to wall action and ultimately extremely satisfying.

    Blu-ray Review HTF Blu-ray Review: Star Trek: The Original Series Season One (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

    I didn't see that as something that needed to be fixed though. It made perfect sense for her lipstick to be smudged at that point. Also, it is noticeable if you are specifically looking for it, but with the color turned up it washes most of it out. I wouldn't think that would be something they...

    Blu-ray Review HTF Blu-ray Review: Star Trek: The Original Series Season One (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

    I do love this set overall as most everyone else here does. However, one thing caught my eye this morning when watching the trailer for "The Enemy Within." Obviously, the trailer is much dirtier than the episode, and lighter as well. It was the lightness that struck me, because there is the...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: T2 Judgment Day - Skynet Edition

    I have the Panasonic BD-10A and when I read this thread I ran downstairs and threw in the disc. Long story short, it plays! It takes a looong time to load in, but it plays. I believe the 10A is Profile 1.2, maybe 1.1, but it does play in it.

    Paul, you are making it very hard for me to wait for a (hopeful) future release of the DC editions, cut it out. ;)

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    These latest screencaps look fantastic! Still, I am holding out for the eventual release of the DE. Now, I may need to go back and buy these, because it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Paramount released Director only editions of I, II, and VI at a later time meaning you'd have to buy...

    DTS HD-Master Audio woes

    Oh yes and as Stephen stated above the 10A will NOT decode DTS HD-MA, just DTS-HD.

    DTS HD-Master Audio woes

    I can't remember where I read it, maybe the AVS Forum, but from what I recall the Panny cannot decode The lossless codecs via bitstream, it needed to be set PCM. You can use the analog cables or HDMI. I use the HDMI. I read that page from the manual just now online, and it seems to read...

    DTS HD-Master Audio woes

    I have the Panny DMP-BD10A, and I believe that I need to have my HD settings at PCM in order to get the lossless tracks since that Panny does not decode them itself if I am correct. I have the DTS and Dolby set at Bitstream and the lossless tracks set at PCM. I will upgrade the Blu-ray...

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl Framing Issue

    I just did this a few months ago myself. Here's what I recall doing: Once you get the letter from Disney you fill out the questionaire as best as you can. I doubt they even need it, but I did the best I could. You take the faulty Disc 1 out of your case (don't send them your case back to...

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    I am a huge ST fan and no way will I purchase these unless/until ALL versions of each movie are provided on Blu-Ray in the same set. Whether you want to use seemless branching or a different disc for each cut I don't care, but when ST:TMP comes out without all variations of it in the same set I...

    Will Universal re-release the Bourne films in Blu-ray?

    This and the price drop to $64.99 sold me. I just pre-odered it on Amazon.

    Will Universal re-release the Bourne films in Blu-ray?

    I don't have the HD-DVDs, but I also will not buy this until it hits $60, especially if not all of the special features are ported over which, to me, is utterly ridiculous.

    The Official 2009 HTF watch your Blu-ray collection challenge

    I will definitely attempt this, and this will, naturally, include rewatching all the blu-rays I have now as well as the 40 or so I have waiting in the wings. This will at least, I hope, push me a little more to watch all that I buy. I think I will go through the films first and then, if I...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: I Am Legend: Three-Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition

    Excellent review Cameron, as usual. I liked the movie which was a blind buy on Blu when it was first released, and while I would like to have those disc extras I will not cough up an extra $20 on top of the already standard $25-30 Blu-Ray price tag for it. Now, if they offered a full rebate...

    The Dark Knight changing Aspect Ratio feels like a Joke

    I went to the one in Manchester, CT. The one in Toronto sounds like a really special one from what I read. I believe the one in Manchester is probably more in line with yours, but I absolutely loved every second of watching it on that screen. **EDIT** In going back and reading the thread from...

    The Dark Knight changing Aspect Ratio feels like a Joke

    I respectfully disagree. I saw this twice in the same day. First around 12pm in IMAX, which, to me, was just breathtaking. I definitely felt immersed in the experience, largely due to IMAX. Later, I saw it in the evening at my local theatre, because I was so excited at what I saw earlier. Well...

    The Dark Knight changing Aspect Ratio feels like a Joke

    I am so excited to get this movie on Blu-Ray. I have been chomping at the bit since the news of its ship date was first released. That said, I too find it a bit odd that they would not include both versions on the disc. It is Blu-Ray after all and they are already selling you 2 discs in the...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Die Another Day

    Yes that is what it definitely was, and I believe it was promoted that way too somewhat. The first Bond in space and all that or some such nonsense. Spies in spoace with ray guns. UGH! It just went too out of the realm of believability for me. WAY too far. The pre-title sequence was ok, but...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Die Another Day

    That's because both screenplays were written by Christopher Bond. The only two he did I believe, but since TSWLM came before Moonraker I can appreciate that a little bit more than Moonraker. It is the EXACT same plot in both movies, same lame bad guy, same ridiculous climactic battle scene and...
