Blu-Ray must-haves & official Blu-Ray thread

I use Handbrake and dvd43 to rip dvds.

DO NOT buy the upcoming Grindhouse BD set. They didn't even bother to include lossless audio.

How stupid. There's no excuse not to include lossless audio on BD discs. There's plenty of room.

What are some of the better websites in terms of selection/pricing quality for Blu-rays? (Assuming there are any places besides a big site like Amazon. I dunno.) :3

Amazon is the best, 99% of the time. Some other places will have sales here and there, but Amazon consistently has the best prices on almost everything.

ugh.

just bought the Kick-Ass Bluray, $20

and a week ago i bought Watchmen: The Complete Experience (includes Director's Cut Blu Ray + Parts 1 and 2 of Watchmen: The End is Nigh for PS3), $14

Total collection so far:
the 2 above
Toy Story
Toy Story 2
The Dark Knight

How to Train Your Dragon and Toy Story 3 need to hurry the fuck up.

Scott Pilgrim comes out on my birthday

ok i just read this. Would I have been better off getting the UK version of Kick-Ass since it was put out by Universal?

Seems alright to me.

Lionsgate doesn't always put out bland stuff, but they do have a track record of rushing out popular films that already exist in their DVD lineup by doing no more than what appears to be a higher encode of the DVD source. In the case of recent films like this that are seeing their primary release on BD, they'll most likely be alright, especially since they were probably shot digitally and processed via high quality modern equipment.

Sometimes they do great releases, though. First thought is the Terminator 2 BD. Really impressive.

I just placed this order at Amazon.co.uk



and pre-ordered this:



I can't fucking wait for both, my collection now consists of Inglorious Basterds, Wall E, Baraka and 2001 Space Oddysey

I'm planning on going to Daily Price store and start ex-changing DVDs for Blu Rays

pre-ordered? I've owned that for over a year.

I dunno, 11 Oct is the release date:

that Banksy film has me interested, as I only just heard of Banksy this past summer when i went to England. I had seen his work everywhere for a while, though.

oh fuck I cannot be more stupid. I ordered the dvd for Exit Through...instead of the Blu Ray

Amazon tricked me with the special package with stickers, I thought that was the blu ray

Jesus

lol

If you saw Grindhouse in theaters and loved it, pick it up. The transfer's great and the extras are awesome.

Does not fempute.

I assume he means the video quality.

But yeah, I already own the special edition Japanese box set which is very nice. If the BD is missing the lossless audio, I'm skipping.

Disney did it again. Beauty and the Beast gets a thumbs up from me. Can't wait for Fantasia and hopefully Aladdin.

Just ordered an import copy of Amelie. I had to get it. It's one of my favorite movies ever.

my Beuaty and the Beast BD apparently did not arrive at my home today. first time Amazon's ever missed a delivery date.

Ken Burns' series National Parks: America's Best Idea for $40. An incredible deal.

Thanks dude.

Alright, my copy arrived and I watched it. Thumbs up indeed. One of the very best BDs I've seen. Incredible quality.

everyone post your BD collection

gah i'd really like to know more packaging details on the Toy Story Trilogy Toy Box, like if it is going to include individual cases for each film or just the one big wagon box thingamajig.

I'm not a member of any trendy websites or anything, but I have

Futurama: Into The Wild Green Yonder

The Departed

Sex And The City
March Of The Penguins
The Shining

http://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?member=Brandy Alexander

I didn't realise I have so many.

I only have:

Predator
The Dark Knight
Batman Begins
District 9

You're off to a decent start, at least.

Three of the first eight BDs I bought were Die Hard movies.

The transfer on them, especially the first one, was a lot better than I had anticipated.

Think this is accurate.

They are showing this in 3D at my cinema November 20th. Gonna be so fly.

hate you

Oh shit.

Oh my fucking lord, I recieved the Planet Earth complete box and after the first episode, my jaw is touching the floor. Unfuckingbelievable.

I just cannot imagine how great this should be with a bigger tv (Current HD tv 26") and a 5.1 audio system

Is there anything similar to these series in blu ray?

Is that the one with the birds in the rainforest?

if that was a joke, I didn't get it.

I'm new to the series

By the way, I found these other BBC releases:

http://www.blu-ray.com/search/?quic...yword=BBC&searchbutton.x=27&searchbutton.y=10

"LIFE" seems to be the latest one, anyone got it? It looks gorgeous.

Also, the Natural History Collection looks HUGE

Anyone got feedback from these two?

Haha no I was serious, I thought that was the first episode. There's this one where (in case it isn't the first episode)

this bird does a mating dance and it makes it's feathers look like a face, next level shit

Nah that's later in the series, disc 3 I think. My favourite part was the lyrebird imitating cameras and chainsaws. \m/

OH FUCK YES I SAW THAT ONE!!!!!!!

You mean this, right?

I lol'd so much

I've seen 4 episodes, the first three and the first episode of Disc 2.

I think they're "From Pole to Pole", "Fresh Waters", "Mountains" and "Caves".

and FUCK at those giant salamanders from Japan

Inception BD announced.

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Inception-Blu-ray/14492/

I might be getting dat for christmas

I will be getting that for my birthday. No waiting for Christmas!

My BDs of Seven Samurai and Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl arrived yesterday, four days before street date

Too bad I probably won't have time to view them until November.

The VG vs FG case is all fucked up, so Amazon's already sending a replacement. The art sleeve and disc are perfect, but the outer plastic sleeve that holds the paper is all torn and mangled.

Indonesian martial art Silat film Merantau announced!

http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=5318

Totally did not expect this. Really cool movie. Great combat.
