was that Lethal Weapon?hopefully that'll get a re-release sooner rather than later,it's a poor BD imo.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 03 Jul 2009, 21:34

Yeah, Lethal Weapon, and yeah I know it's from an upconverted master, but as it was cheap...

It's bound to be a step up from my DVD.

Also any re-releases might not be the theatrical version.

I think thats where many people fall down, just becuase its HD does not make it always better than the standard dvd. Esspecially these shit upconvert dodgy jobs.

Enter the Dragon and The Fugative are both worse than the dvds, they look better compression, detail etc.. obviously

BUT if you see them evil jaggies/stepping problems the transfers instantly become worthless

so hopefully you wont see them and then yes they are an upgrade, but if your screen/distance you view/player etc,, combine to create what I see, its painful to sit thu them

I would just keep my old dvd (which I have) and say stuff Warner and hope they re-release it and acctually do it right.

I'm not throwing away any of my DVDs until I see the BD for myself and am satisfied.

Thow away nahhh, try to flog them yes

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 04 Jul 2009, 21:53

I didn't mean throw away literally.

I'd take them to the second hand shop.

Enter the Dragon whilst not HD WOW, looks better on BD to the DVD SE IMO.

Well as I said only if you do not see them evil jaggies

if you do its almost unwatchable.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 10 Jul 2009, 17:35

I was in our branch today... everything "normal".

Would hate to see it shut down.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 10 Jul 2009, 21:20

Probably just the Liverpool store closing,it's in the new Liverpool shopping mecca Liverpool One where i imagine the rents are astronomical.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 04 Aug 2009, 19:42

Ip Man Blu-Ray is currently at a pre-order price of £11.93 at the hut, however entering the code hut10 before 8am wednesday 5th august makes it £10.74,a very good price for a new release.

Thanks Salty. It's a shame they're mostly expensive.

Gamestation are selling off their remaining hd-dvd titles for 48p each instore.My local had Out Of Sight,Red Dragon,Ray,Born On The Fourth Of July,Red Dragon,Mr Bean's Holiday,Spartacus & Superman Returns.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 17 Aug 2009, 20:42

48p lolz

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 17 Aug 2009, 21:21

They're worth getting to put on eBay.

Some of those are still HD-DVD exclusives: such as "Born On The Fourth Of July", "Ray" and "Spartacus". Their is a re-release of Superman Returns with TrueHD/PCM instead of DD5.1 found on the HD-DVD and original BD.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 18 Aug 2009, 02:18

48p. That's kinda sad actually considering how good a format HD DVD was.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 18 Aug 2009, 10:42

They're bargains. The HD quality will basically be identical too.

BD (region coding aside) always was the the better format.

Maybe now. But Blu Ray was an incomplete format when they were competing.
