Heard it's cropped/wrong ratio.

According to this not really:
http://www.avforums.com/movies/The-Long ... u-ray.html
The USA BD is 1.78:1, this is 1.66:1 so has minor cropping but the review also says 1.66:1 is the original aspect ratio. The UK BD has a lot more extras than the USA one.

Me either but I guess it's worth waiting still. I like it but not enough to own it. I used to. Your links broken, here's the working one:

and anyone avoiding them because of rentals- bad discs- boxes etc... must be mental.
I got a handful of scuffed cases, easily removable stickers on the majority, 1 broke box (easily replaced like most of them) and about 15 "rentals" - which are IDENTICAL to the retail discs as they are the retail discs! in a rental box, like the vast majority of all Rental discs are.
I only got 1 out of all my discs which was a real rental which differed to the discs you buy in shops. Many were mint condition as well, considering Blu Rays are pretty damned indestructible as well so passing up a £3 Blu Ray is mental

Re: The Blu-Ray movies under £7 thread
Romero, nothing in your post has persuaded me that my stance is wrong.
I'm not that desperate to own Blu Rays that I'll lower my standards to buying grubby rentals... but if saving £3 or so means that much to you go ahead.

You really do have no idea at all in any way what you are on about
I have never sent a Blu Ray back in my life because it fell out of their clasps, get your facts right
and as I said the vast majority are NOT rentals.
You really have no knowledge at all about rentals if you think "Plenty" differ" from sell through discs
Clueless
"Grubby" ? most of mine are brand new and indistinguishable from mint newly opened discs
Who says these discs are all rentals? Some are rentals, few.
Buy some brand new boxes for the ones you think are "Grubby" and swap them over with the brand new discs and there is no way anyone could ever tell they are anything but bought mint.
If you think I have saved "£3 or so" well done, brand new films for £3 is saving a lot more than £3 or so thats for sure.

Except for the times you've said you have. No one believes a word you say any more. You make shit up as you go along, always have.romerojpg wrote:I have never sent a Blu Ray back in my life because it fell out of their clasps, get your facts right
Some were, enough said. They listed some as "Used" but people got Ex-Rentals. Check out the thread over at AV Forums if you don't believe me.romerojpg wrote:and as I said the vast majority are NOT rentals.
Well good for you. Now run along and knock one out.romerojpg wrote:"Grubby" ? most of mine are brand new and indistinguishable from mint newly opened discs
Most of us aren't so tight-fisted with money we'd save a few quid, to get a shit disc.

Not quite under £7, but HMV has a "two for £15" deal on. I picked up Die Hard 2 and Payback.

Die Hard 2 and Payback have been cheapos for a long time. They have many pretty new titles in the deal as well thats for sure good for a good rummage to see what new ones pop up.

Did that 2 for £15 offer start just today?
It was a 2 for £20 when I popped into my local HMV on Friday.
