Wall-E on blu ray is pretty awesome. Really good, sad, happy, Disney movie.

Good review....It basically said that while the quality of the picture and audio are top notch,the actual movie sucks...

 

[freshhh]

Good lord.
i was at work today rejoicing when i realized my tv purchase was within the last 30days
the new samsung accommodation is BANANAS. i can upgrade to a 40inch and save $400

or pay $30 more and get a 40" 120hz 7series

so if i do this
it puts the sony 350 and the ps3 at about the same price

which is the better buy?
all i know is ps3 = wifi and littlebigplanet (

)

Just copped me a PS3 + HDMI cable + 40" Full HDTV.

I also have a 720p 40" - im guessing the difference between 1080p/720p isn't that distinguishable anything within 5metres or feet?

 

[crazy ebw]

Honestly, IMO, you need to be a HDTV geek to even notice the difference in 1080p. Your average viewer is going to think both are crack either way.

You're def good to go.

I usually buy on Amazon. Free shipping. No tax. Just keep an eye out because their prices always fluctuate.

Try ebay. BIN with Cashback and get a few bucks later in return.

 

[eteam o2]

yeah amazon is usually the best place for getting blu-rays
but every now and then other sites or b&m stores will have a really good deal

i myself am always checking weekly ads of best buy, circuit city etc
there are good deals to be had out there

like next week's best buy ad will have band of brothers on blu-ray for around $37.xx
i'm all over that.

and wal*mart has a ton of bd's for the cheaps...
of note is T2 for $10.
For the most part though, their $10 BD are noted for not being the greatest transfers in terms of pq
still better than dvd upscaled tho

also just bought kung-fu panda for $19.99 from wally world.

 

[importking]

thanks guys, appreciated !

I wouldnt mess with BD's on ebay though... after that article that was posted (i think early in this thread) about BD variants from China

Im sticking to Amazon and slickdeals giving the heads up at retail stores.

I have bought plenty of BD's on ebay. No problem at all. I will also continue to buy blu's on ebay,

If you have Fry's in your area, they usually have some good deals. Never buy blu's on the regular at Fry's. They charge an arm and a leg. Keep aneye out for the deals they have tho.

I got Band Of Brothers like a month afgo for $41 shipped from dvdplanet or something like that....after some 40% off code

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Yea i got my Band of Brothers from Amazon.com for like $41 also... actually i told my girlfriend about it and a amazon package came a few days later

 

[johnnyredstorm]

You could buy Terminator 1 and 2 on blu ray on Amazon for $30 shipped. I haven't seen either films so I ordered.

 

[eteam o2]

T1 & T2 should both be $10 at your local walmarts.

anyone doing the live screening tonight of TDK with Christopher Nolan?? Starts in about half an hour.

I submitted a few questions already, hope they get answered. Even asked him to shout out NT in one. lol

But if anyone has any questions they'd like asked- I'll send away and see if they get answered.

BD-Live

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Terminator 1 is 2 dollars more expensive than Amazon, whereas Terminator 2 is only 49 cents more on Amazon. And on Amazon you get free shipping and youdon't support Satan.
