I just ordered it through amazon before the 22nd.Sonic Jam wrote:Where did you find that had stock of Pirates??
According to amazon they have 3k in stock of both pirates movies.
It depends where you live, they have been doing a "one month trial" (it has been around 3 now though so I guess it is good) in Melbourne and Sydney and I can tell you, it looks so much nicer than 576p they had here. It is running at a low bitrate but even still, it looks incredible.Talez wrote:Uhhhhh... Seven HD is 576p...
EDIT: More than likely just a few bad pressings!Numerous reports are circulating over at the AVS forums that a problem with the coating of some Blu-ray discs (now being described as "disc rot"), which produces mould-like spots, have now made Blu-ray discs unplayable for several owners. The reports have now morphed into a five page thread, with many forum members discovering spots/marks which can't be cleaned or rubbed off on Blu-ray versions of The Prestige
DVD didn't exactly take off at lightning speed in this country either and you didn't need a new TV to enjoy them, prices will go down HD TV penetration will go up and people will want HD content.lestat wrote:The vocal minority are the only ones that care about hd movies. It still amazes me how dead hd formats are in this country and in the us for that matter.
Hahaha I was just coming in here to post about both these movies! Planet earth is AWESOME. I got it for USD$67 + shipping from Amazon, so anything less than that's a bargain... looks fantastic, and it's a really interesting doco too. So great.Sonic Jam wrote:Yeah this isn't a hi def debate topic, we've had a few of those.
Recently I've seen the first Pirates movie on BRD and it was superb, really great transfer and fucking fantastic film, not having seen it in a while I kind of forgot just how hilarious Jack and Barbosa are in this one. 9 undead monkeys out of 10.
But the real treat that I've been watching is PLANET EARTH, this is so absolutely incredible it's probably the single best use of hi def I've seen thus far, the colours and the detail are just astoundingly beutiful and the actual content is really good too - One of the best nature docos I've ever seen.
I cannot reccomend it highly enough to anyone with a HD DVD or BRD player, it was on sale at Amazon when I bought it for about 60 USD but I don't know who has it cheapest now.. GO BUY IT PEOPLE, I can pretty much garauntee that if you arn't half blind you will be blown away.
Just incredible.

My response is that when Creationists talk about God creating every individual species as a separate act, they always instance hummingbirds, or orchids, sunflowers and beautiful things. But I tend to think instead of a parasitic worm that is boring through the eye of a boy sitting on the bank of a river in West Africa, [a worm] that's going to make him blind. And , 'Are you telling me that the God you believe in, who you also say is an all-merciful God, who cares for each one of us individually, are you saying that God created this worm that can live in no other way than in an innocent child's eyeball? Because that doesn't seem to me to coincide with a God who's full of mercy.
