Blu Ray DVDs

[Rasclart]

I dont tend to buy them. I have a couple and the old man buys a few now and again.

I just use Lovefilm and go to Blockbuster. Much cheaper in the long run. Or download them in MKV. I had like 600 DVD's sold them all on Ebay. Didnt have the room, never watched most of them and a lot still had wrappers on.

Between rentals and Sky HD that sorts me out

 

[David]

he bought it for £20 don't see how.

 

[sneeks]

did you...how did you manage that1?!?!

I walked into the shop and bought it

It's priced at £24.99 but they have 20% off all stock.

Is Band of Brothers worth buying on BD? Zavvi are selling this for £28.

 

[Munson]

Yes. Done.

 

[sneeks]

I've bought Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 today from Play for £17.99 delivered. Not a bad price for both films.

 

[The Hoff]

Is Band of Brothers worth buying on BD? Zavvi are selling this for £28.

Yes if you haven't already got it on DVD. No if you've got it already. I bought it, and to be honest whilst it's a fantastic series, the BD doesn't bring that much to the party.

I know some will disagree, but the DVD transfer on it was a good one in the first place.

 

[sneeks]

I've been told that the HD audio is a huge improvement on the BD.

 

[Sean B]

The sound and picture was a massive improvement for me from the DVD version.
The snow scenes in Bastone was superb.
Get it if you havent allready done so.

 

[sneeks]

I'll be buying it this Friday either from Zavvi if they still have it available or from Asda who have it on available for £32.

 

[The Hoff]

I'm only on the 3rd Episode, perhaps I need to try it back-to-back, the HD audio I'm not running. Don't get me wrong, it's good, just I'm not sure I'd buy it again in retrospect over my existing DVD set.

 

[sneeks]

I've never watched any of it and do not own the dvd's so I reckon I'll enjoy the BD version. My new AV receiver will also prove useful.

 

[The Hoff]

Yeah, it's a must buy if you've never seen it!

 

[sneeks]

Ice Age 2 worth buying for £11?

 

[sneeks]

Some good offers at Asda. I have bought Life of Brian.

[sneeks]

Just read that True Romance will be released on BD in the US on 26th May, can't wait

 

[McBunny]

amazon are doing 3 for 2 on bluray starting at 5.99 each iirc

 

[The Hoff]

Until they bring Heat out on BD my life will not be complete.

 

[Coby.]

Got TDK on Blu-Ray and have ordered Planet Earth 5 Disk set, Black Hawk Down and Batman Begins,

Will then have a search for a few other favourites as and when I can afford/be arsed to search.

 

[sneeks]

Until they bring Heat out on BD my life will not be complete.

Heat is due for release later this year.

 

[sneeks]

My bd copy of Life of Brian arrived from Asda on Monday this week

[dk]

Top Gun BD sent from Play today

i've got the hd-dvd version, its great quality, doubt i will buy it on bluray too though, not until my hd-dvd player gives up the ghost.

 

[sneeks]

I'm looking forward to listening to the TrueHD audio soundtrack.

 

[oska]

Is there a site listing releases and the quality of them? If not, there should be.

 

[st3ve]

Only Blue-Ray movie I have is Dark Knight which I had to get seeing as imo it's a quality film and it was one of, if not the last film/s the late Heath Ledger was in.

 

[Adam]

Dark Night is awesome on Blu Ray and mine was self authored aswell

I've got the planet earth box set on blu and it's good, but don't expect to get blown away.

Some of the scenes are good enough to give you a nose bleed, but others are quite poor. You have to remember the footage is stretched over quite a few years, it's sometimes filmed with a handheld in bad weather etc.

Here's my blu list:
Planet Earth,
Transformers,
Dark Knight,
The incredible hulk (Ed Norton version),
Iron man,
The matrix,
Sin City.

For me, Transformers, Iron man, hulk, and city are all equally stunning!

The matrix isn't that good, little bit let down with that.

Rented ratatouille and it was faultless, would recommend that to anyone. The same goes for The watchmen.

I've got a sony 350 and a pana plasma 46 1080, a pretty good setup

 

[dk]

i was in blockbuster the other day and on their list of upcoming blurays they had the directors cut lord of the rings trilogy!

WOW, now thats a boxset i want to own!

 

[MikeC]

I'm worrying addicted to buying blu-rays! Within the last month i've bought:

Cars
Wall-E
Hancock
District 13
Football Factory
Casino Royale
Quantum of Solace
Black Hawk Down
AVP
Labryinth
Matrix Trilogy

But wan to get Dark Knight, Taken, Gladiator, Monster Inc, Death Race, Transformers (1&2) and Hitman

 

[dk]

i went through a period of buying loads but i don't think i have bought a single one this year!

nothing had come out that made me want to buy one, hopefully there will be some decent stuff released on the lead up to christmas.
