The Blu-ray Thread v1.0

I used my christmas gift cards at best buy and picked up spiderman trilogy, pans labyrinth and the simpsons movie on blu ray. simpsons looks really fuckin good, as does spiderman, pans is good and most scenes, kinda grainy at others, but the sound is good.

I took the survey too, how long did it take to receive the stuff?

lol… I didn’t get the movie of my choice. They sent me The Guardian, which was the absolute last movie I wanted from that list. I would’ve rather gotten a second copy of The Prestige, then give it to a friend. Luckily, Sony sent me the movie of my choice, which I thought I wouldn’t be getting from that buy 2, get 1 mail-in offer (aka the Buy 1, Get 2 since I got the 2 movies from the Amazon BOGO).

People say 2 to 8 weeks.

i got mine in 3 weeks. i guess i got lucky.

was gonna use the $20 coupon on potter movies, but amazon had b1g1 for them in HD DVD

glad i waited :smiley:

anyone know what the RE: Trilogy box art looks like? Haven’t seen it anywhere

:u: You are the captain of neutrality (actually, I’m considering going purple myself now. Fuck it).

Anyway, I picked up Paprika today from Best Buy, since I doubt it will ever be part of a BOGO.

ha before this amazon b1g1 i had literally the same amount of blu rays as HD DVDs (93 each)

but with the b1g1 (6 titles) and 10 i’m picking up at Best Buy B3G2 next week gonna lean towards HD DVD for a while

but most of the titles on my “wish list” for jan are blu

HD got nothing really coming in jan that i want besides pianist/zodiac, maybe i’ll pick up white noise 1/2 if i can get them cheap

for blu i’m picking up: sunshine, RE trilogy, 3:10 to yuma, shoot 'em up, and saw 4, and maybe war/GL Chuck/Mr Woodcock when they’re cheap

i just like movies, don’t care about format. if the quality is the same, i’ll buy whatever is cheaper

Yeah. The more I think about it, the more I see movies I want on the red side (although blu still has most of the movies I want), and I’ve decided that a good HD-DVD player would be nicer own than a stupid Wii. If Brawl gets delayed, I’m going to sell my Wii and pick up an A35 or something.

are u serious? lol that’s a horrible cover haha

damn yea that looks horrible

just gonna buy them separately since apoc is cheap everywhere

and Extinction is $26.99 at BB and first one is only 19.99

The Toys R Us BOGO was mentioned by rsigley before I think…

Here’s a list of the movies involved:
Pirates 1-3, Cars, Ratatouille, Bridge to Teribitihia, Open Season, Casino Royale, Meet the Robinsons, High School Musical 2

Gamestop currently has Buy 2 Get 2 on used DVDs (haven’t checked my store yet, so it’s not confirmed) and it’s supposed to be good for Blu-rays and HD-DUDs. I might actually have some use for my Edge card now.

^i checked my local gamestop and they have that deal but still haven’t found a gamestop that sells any kind of high def movie.

i also went to best buy and all those titles that were on sale for 19.99 were all gone except spiderman.

i did change 3 of the 5 movies i got with my ps3 in the mail at bestbuy for harry potter 1-4 lol. i exceeded my exchange without a receipt limit so i have one of my friends do it for me.

anyone who worked at bestbuy know the consequences for exchanging too many stuff without a receipt? i’ve done this with 2 angel complete collections and some games already.

Amazon BOGO on 96 movies. Looks to be FOX & Warner.

Notable titles: Hairspray (HDG gave it a rating of 5/5 overall… the only other Blu-ray to get this rating was Ratatouille), the first 4 Harry Potter movies, Mr. & Mrs. Smith (very recent release), and more.

Today’s new releases:
Resident Evil: Extinction
Shoot 'Em Up
War
Resident Evil: The High Definition Trilogy
Resident Evil

I’ve been going over the titles involved in the BOGO and I overlooked a lot.

Cast Away is another recent release involved… the first 3 Die Hard movies are also there… Ocean’s Thirteen… and more. I’m probably going to order a good 6 to 10 Blu-rays.

did you mean HDD? they gave blade runner 5/5 too

Yup, HDD was what I meant. Haven’t checked the reviews in a while so I didn’t know another movie got 5/5. Thanks for the info.

i ended up getting the RE trilogy anyway

the case didn’t look too bad in person compared to the website

here’s some pics of it

i wish i didn’t open the haryr potter HD DVD’s now, i ended up buying the 5th one for $34.99 in the HD DVD buy 3 get 2

then the blu ray ones go b1g1 and 5th blu is 24.99

go figure oh well

Hey, if Warner DOES go Blu-ray exclusive this year… you’re sitting on a potential goldmine! All those Paramount Blu-rays are being sold for ridiculous prices.
