The Star Trek Collection?

That's not all 10 movies is it Hitch? From what I know the Star Trek films themselves aren't out on Blu-Ray yet.

[Koray Savas]

Hitch is listing the films he will buy when they eventually get the blu treatment. Most of the things he listed aren't out yet or haven't even been announced. In time they will be though.

I want Bond in blu, but it would cost over $500 to get the whole series.

Oh ya stupid me I just re-read his post. I some how didn't quite understand what he said when I first read it..probably because I skimmed through it fast, my bad Hitch.

I'd love to have all 10 Star Trek films (plus all the TV series) on Blu-Ray. The movies themselves may not be that bad in price but the TV series will probably cost an arm and a leg per season.

[Hitch]

That's where having money comes in handy

I'd also love that, but I've only just (OK, in January ) spent 100 GBP for the 42 DVD Deluxe Edition box, so I guess I'll stick to that for some time to come.

Few weeks ago I bought a new laptop to my girlfriend. It has Blu-Ray player and nice 18,4'' screen so I also bought few
movies on Blu(CE3K etc.). It looked so cool that first thing in the next morning i had to buy Sony 40'' fullHD. I have to say
there's no coming back...the difference is huge.

Now I'm facing a new problem with region codes. I've bought many DVDs and Blu-Rays from PLAY.COM(England) , always worked
fine here in Finland. Last week I received 3 new Blu-Ray movies but none of them worked. There was only text "You need to have region B player."

Region B?? What the hell is that? Anyone?

Click!

I'm more busy budgeting all the soundtracks I've yet to buy, let alone shift over to BD. I must be frugal in my fiscal endeavors.

Ok , thanks.

That's what I thought them to be ; codes for different continents.

But I also thought we have same Region code(B) with England. And my previous
purchases did work so mayby it's PLAY.COM,s fault.(putting wrong disc to the case or something...)

(Master and Commander was one of them didn't work , too bad , I would have loved to see this one on BLU...)

Edit: Settings were just wrong(someone put Region A) all working fine...

BTW As I thought ; Master & Commander is Awesome.

Seconded.

[ChuckM]

Still a bit pricey for me, but woot.com has a pretty good deal on a Blu-Ray player for today.

The Digital Bits reported that Wally World (Wal-Mart) will be having Magnavox Blu-Ray players for $128 on Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving). If I had the money then I would so get one...sucks that Black Friday's happen before I get paid, ugh.

[Maglorfin]

Anybody watched any older 007s on BR yet? How is it?

Have you ever been out on Black Friday?


Never again. Never... again... *huddles in corner and rocks back and forth*

I have Dr. No and From Russia With Love. The picture quality is extremely impressive. Sound is not bad...best they could do converting original mono. They are surely essential if you like 007

[Koray Savas]

I'll wait a couple years until they become affordable.

[Hitch]

Christmas is coming. You could beg.

[Koray Savas]

I'm not asking for anything for Christmas.

[Stefancos]

Jewish?

[Koray Savas]

Atheist.

My family does celebrate Christmas though, just not in any religious way. I feel too old to be making Christmas lists and what not and just asking my parents so spend a few hundred bucks on me for an occasion. They've already given me enough things this year, like a Macbook, a completely new room, a car, and paying for college.

Same here. And that includes good food, cookies, Christmas trees, presents and everything.

Get your parents something this year.

Speaking of Blu-Ray, in March I for sure plan to buy me a PS3. I was gonna do it in February but I just remembered my girlfriend's birthday is then so I won't be able to do it at that time.

[Stefancos]

Do you live with her? Then you can kill 2 birds with one stone and tell her you bought the PS3 for her birthday.

No I don't live with her.

[Charlie Brigden]

My wife and I both love BD. We just bought our latest today, KUNG FU PANDA.

[Hitch]

I picked up Indy 4 today on blu-ray then put it back on the shelf and got "Wall-E" instead. Much better movie, better story and also for Sigourney Weaver's sexy voice

[MissPadmé]

I bought
Casino Royale Deluxe Edition last week
and
Nightmare Before Christmas today.. both SOOO great movies, and the look awsome on the LCD!! wow

I got that recently as well. The picture quality is awesome!

I also got Wall-E, haven't be able to watch it yet though.

[Marian Schedenig]

Wall-E on BR must look better than the copy I saw theatrically.

[Morn]

Ohh I agree that compared to Blu-ray, or any HD, DVD looks awful.
But once I discovered that I'd need to replace my monitor to get Blu-ray, my attitude was pretty much, screw you guys I'd rather pirate HD content than put up with these restrictions, they deserve to suffer piracy.
I fully agree with Marian here, and I am only annoyed that I did not get to voice this compliant first.
HDCP is definately the worst copy protection method yet devised and I refuse to just put up with it.

[Jason LeBlanc]

So, are there any cheap Blu-ray burners for computers yet?

[Quint]

I'll wait a couple years until they become affordable.

Christmas is coming. You could beg.

If anything, it could be Sony who end up doing the begging this Christmas: Link

[Charlie Brigden]

Once more people buy HDTVs and then see how bad regular DVD can look compared to BD, they'll switch. I think this probably happened to DVD too when it first came out. It's also done better than D-VHS.

[Stefancos]

DVD actually looks fine on my FullHD 40 inch widescreen TV.

[Carnifex]

I bought the Blade Runner Collector's Edition in Blu-ray half a year ago and still I have not got the player. But it gets better if I wait longer.

[Quint]

So you went with a Samsung in the end then?

Lets face it, they're arguably the best looking sets out there.

[Hitch]

I prefer Panasonic sets myself.

Same here with mine.

[Drax]

I have a Hitachi 42" Plasma (I'll be watching Titanic on this baby tonight), but I prefer the picture on Pioneers, myself.
