The Format War

[RedIsNotBlue]

If you love those fantasy type films such as Chronicles of Narnia then I would highly recommend it.

 

[Symbiotic]

I was hoping to get the first Terminator on Blu-ray, but after reading a few reviews, maybe I should skip that one. Any of you own the disc? Is the picture really just "better-than-average" looking?

 

[Sam Fisher]

It's ok. I would wait a little bit to see if MGM wants to try to cash in on WB's new movie and release a new version.

Yeah I think I'll just get the new T2: Skynet Edition when it comes out and T3.

 

[Sam Fisher]

Is T3 being rereleased on Blu Ray{I know it's being rereleased on Standard def}?

Is T3 being rereleased on Blu Ray{I know it's being rereleased on Standard def}?

Just the one version as far as I know, but WB did re-release it with 1080p after the initial release only went up to 1080i.

How does Lethal Weapon look and sound?

Not amazing or demo material at all but an upgrade from the DVD. I just figured I would want the boxset whenever they release it even though I could be waiting a few years.

Here are some 720p screenshots.

New Sony WiFi Blu-ray Player on the Way
Sony Electronics has announced that they will bring two new Blu-ray Disc players - the BDP-S360 and BDP-S560 - to consumers this May. Both players will support 1080p24 video output, be BD-Live capable, and support decoding and streaming of both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio sound formats.

Both decks will also support Sony's Precision Drive Technology, which helps stabilize warped or scratched discs during playback, as well as Sony's Precision Cinema HD Upscale technology to upconvert standard definition media to near-HD quality.

The Sony BDP-S560 will benefit by gaining WiFi capabilities, a first for a Sony standalone player. It will be able to connect wirelessly to most (A/B/G/N) wireless networks, as well as feature WiFi Protected Set-up and DLNA connection software for easy connection and interface with home routers and other DLNA devices.

Both players will be available in May, the BDP-S360 for $300 and the BDP-S560 for $350.

Additionally, Sony will bring to Blu-ray home theater systems, the BDV-E300 and BDV-E500W which will feature similar specs to the BDP-S360. Both will feature Sony's S-AIR wireless surround sound speakers and be fully BD-Live capable. They will be available in June, the BDV-E300 for $600 and the BDV-E500W for $800.
