    Suggestions For A Good $100-$125 Blu-Ray Player

    Just one more request before I make my final decision about which player to buy... Could owners of the two suggested players, the Panasonic BD65 and the Sony BDP-S370, please post some images of the menu interface? It'll help me make my decision, so I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

    Suggestions For A Good $100-$125 Blu-Ray Player

    Are there any other good players besides the Panasonic BD65 and the Sony BDP-S370? It would be nice if I had a few more choices. I took a look at both players over at Amazon - Panasonic: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0038KN114/ Sony: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0036WS4CA/ - and there seem to be a...

    Suggestions For A Good $100-$125 Blu-Ray Player

    Thanks for the suggestions, you guys. I'm gonna look into those two models to gets some specs. Anyone know if Pioneer Blu-ray players are any good, or if there are any priced in the $100-$125 range? I never had a problem with two different Pioneer DVD players I bought in 2001 - both purchased...

    Back To The Future Trilogy UK Blu-Ray Set - Will It Play In US Players?

    Thanks for the confirmation, Marko. I still find it a bit odd that, just from the perspective of the film's original language, English isn't listed first for both menu language selection and movie audio tracks. At least the English menu language item is near the top and not WAY down the list...

    Suggestions For A Good $100-$125 Blu-Ray Player

    Ok, I really hate posting such a subjective question like this, but I need some feedback on what good $100-$125 (if not cheaper) Blu-ray players are out there, and where the best place is online to buy one (factoring in price, shipping costs, New York State tax, service, return policy, etc.). I...

    Back To The Future Trilogy UK Blu-Ray Set - Will It Play In US Players?

    Just wanted to write in to let everyone know that the Back To The Future U.K. set I ordered on eBay arrived in the mail today. It only cost me $42.26 (with free shipping), which makes it on par, if not cheaper than the US set - depending on where you buy the US set, of course. The seller...

    Back To The Future Trilogy UK Blu-Ray Set - Will It Play In US Players?

    That's definitely giving me something to think about. I might do more Blu-ray importing if I find the U.S. releases not to my liking, or non-existent in some cases :-) Right not the only imported Blu-rays I have are from Canada, which I don't really consider to be imports since it's the same...

    Back To The Future Trilogy UK Blu-Ray Set - Will It Play In US Players?

    Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for putting my worries to rest. The whole NTSC/PAL nonsense is the whole reason why I don't buy import DVDs, except for a few from NTSC areas like Japan (and the two I have are bonus discs that came with video game soundtrack audio CDs). Region coding isn't much...

    Back To The Future Trilogy UK Blu-Ray Set - Will It Play In US Players?

    I've read online (in many places) that it's region-free, but I can't find anything about whether it's NTSC or PAL. I've read that the UK set has been repurposed for release in Mexico, where NTSC is the video format, so I'm thinking that the UK set might be NTSC. However, PAL is the prevalent...

    Best Way To Store A Large DVD And Blu-Ray Collection

    Hi Guys Thanks for the replies. Walter - I've actually never seen disc binders with removable pages. The few disc binders I have (which I don't use - they're sitting in a box) have the pages permenently inside the binder. I may have to look for the removable kind. Are the special-size...

    Best Way To Store A Large DVD And Blu-Ray Collection

    What's the best way to store a large DVD and Blu-Ray collection in the least amount of space? Keeping everything in their original cases isn't cutting it, especially since most studios don't have a clue about how to conserve space. (Why are studios still releasing DVDs in standard-size cases if...

    Sergeant Preston Season 1 - Digitally Remastered And Coming Soon!

    It's a shame that they canceled the Complete Series set. To be able to get all three seasons worth of episodes for a mere $30 would have been killer.

    The Adventures of Robin Hood, season 3

    I'm also glad that they're continuing the series, as now I'll know what to buy my dad for his birthday in July. He has seasons 1 and 2 already. Hopefully Mill Creek will release Season 4 (the last season) before 2009 is done. I just fear that they may put their logo in the video, as they have...

    Poorly-Placed Layer Changes In Annie Oakley & SNL 25th Anniv?

    AnthonyC, I appreciate any help you can give with the SNL disc. BobGu, thanks for confirming what I suspected with the Annie Oakley disc. Although I've gotten somewhat familiar with DVD technology from the playing side of things, I'd hardly call myself a techie. I'm still trying to learn how...

    Little Mermaid 2 SE - Liner Booklet/Card?

    TravisR, I took your advice and e-mailed Disney via their DisneyStudiosHelp.com website. (Thank goodness they had a Contact Us form. More studios should have them.) This is what they had to say. Reading through all of the pre-written fluff, I find the sentences, "A small number of titles were...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3-D

    Well, the reason that I'm glad that I passed on buying it is because the reviewer said that the 3-D wasn't done as well as it should have been. At least that was the impression that I got from reading it. I had read in many places that the 3-D in the new Polar Express DVD wasn't done very...

    Thanks for the review. I was going to buy it while at Blockbuster yesterday, but I'm glad that I opted not to.

    Poorly-Placed Layer Changes In Annie Oakley & SNL 25th Anniv?

    I don't mean to be a pain, but it's been a week since I posted my query, and I was hoping that someone could answer my question. I know that these aren't extremely popular titles, and they're not recent releases, but I was hoping that with the large number for forum members, MAYBE there would be...

    Little Mermaid 2 SE - Liner Booklet/Card?

    I don't mean to be a pain, but it's been a week since I posted my query, and I was hoping that someone could answer my question. I know that The Little Mermaid 2 isn't a "big" title like The Dark Knight or Iron Man, but surely I'm not the only one who bought it. There has to at least be one...

    Poorly-Placed Layer Changes In Annie Oakley & SNL 25th Anniv?

    This message is directed to anyone who owns either VCI's "Annie Oakley TV Collection" 2-Disc Set (#8261) or LionsGate's "Saturday Night Live: 25th Anniversary" DVD (the 2004 release with the cover seen here: amazon.com/dp/B00014K5CI). I'm trying to figure out if my DVDs contain defects or just...

    Little Mermaid 2 SE - Liner Booklet/Card?

    The Special Editions of Little Mermaid 1 & 3 both came with liner booklets/cards inside, but my Little Mermaid 2 Special Edition DVD didn't. Was it supposed to come with a booklet/card?
