The Format War

[RedIsNotBlue]

Who am I going to argue with now!?!?!?

 

[Kable24]

Did my order just now. getting 300, Batman Begins, Harry Potter 1-4, Full Metal Jacket and Troy.

 

[Downhere]

Dangit, I can't do 300 because I have the stupid version that came with the player. Agh. lol. I'm thinking of doing Batman Begins, Superman Returns, Constantine, Troy, Happy Feet, and a few others. But, I keep flip flopping considering my HD DVD's are perfectly fine and I could use that money on other Blu-rays I don't have. lol. Decisions, decisions.

 

[imdaly]

Ian! You traitor!

I know, man, geesh, I thought he would never betray the RED!!!!!! Noooooooooooooooo!!!!! t:

Well I DID say a while ago that I'll set myself a rule that I'll rebuy my HD DVDs on Blu-ray once they are obtainable for under $10, and this does it at half that price...

Just got in:

Hey guys! Remember when Zenien used to post here a lot? Wasn't she great? Turns out she was a dude named Greg!

Hey guys! Remember when Zenien used to post here a lot? Wasn't she great? Turns out she was a dude named Greg!

Wait, what????

1. RANDOM

2. ....REALLY?!?!? HAHAHA

Who would've thought that an openly gay girl with 1 hot picture of herself on a comic book message board would end up actually being a dude.




...how'd you find this out?

 

[hippie_hunter]

I post on Titanium Groceries where Greg posts and he was forced to out himself.

Umm...uhh...what? Are you serious??? Like, serious, serious. WTH? lol.

Wow...I mean, seriously, definitely shocked by this revelation. This would have been hilarious if it came out when we all were having heated arguments about the format war.

 

[aaron]

i'm actually a girl called suzie.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

...who's Keyser Soze?

...who's Keyser Soze?

"And like that...he's gone."

 

[aaron]

'sup suzie.

..not my penis.

 

[aaron]

and what's titanium groceries?

 

[Downhere]

..not my penis.

So suzie is a tranny? lol.




And Titanium Groceries is pretty much groceries made out of titanium.

I should have known Zenien looked like a young Ben Linus.

My X-Men Trilogy set came in today. Finally this is the BR release I have been waiting 3 years for. Will be watching it this weekend.

My X-Men Trilogy set came in today. Finally this is the BR release I have been waiting 3 years for. Will be watching it this weekend.

I sampled some scenes from each movie. I wouldn't say the video is 5 star demo quality but very good and definitely an upgrade from the dvds. The audio is really amazing though I would say its more impressive than the actual visual quality.

I sampled X2 briefly earlier and was disappointed in the video quality bc I expected it to be better. I bet X3 looks the best

 

[Havok83]

I looked in my X2 case and I have no serial number for my Digital Copy. Did this happen to anyone else? Is there anyway I can get this rectifyed?

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Yeah X3 is definitely the best all around disc when it comes to sound and video quality. But for the most part the X-Men films have a very slight soft look to them which holds them back from being up there with other visual stunners. But like I said if you have the equipment to take advantage of it the DTS-HDMA audio on each disc really packs a punch.
