Any Blu-ray You Regret Buying?
Any BD you regret buying as PQ was disappointing or not much better than DVD ? I don't want to get rid of my DVD collection in haste.
Personally I think the 3 disc release of Memento on SD DVD a while back has one of the very best PQ have ever seen. If ever released on BD is it going to look any better ?
Happy weekend folks.

Re: Any Blu-ray You Regret Buying?
dodgy blurays,
I think starship troopers was pretty bad,and hostel 2.
But still better than SD 
I was watching it on a 2 m wide screen so might not be so apparent on a TV.
Not a bad average though, 19 blurays watched, 2 dodgy. |

Memento is available on BD and it's a definite improvement over any SD versions you might have.
28 Days Later was a pretty pointless buy on BD. It was from a BOGO though and I sold the SD so I probably paid less than 3€ for the 'upgrade'. At least the case now matches my copy of 28 Weeks Later |

The seating distance thing is quite annoying. Yeah it looks great from 20ft away.. so does my ex!!!. Grain is the best way to see that you are getting a good HD image. Use it to callibrate your equipment...

Re: Any Blu-ray You Regret Buying?
I haven't seen the Digital Playground release but I'm willing to bet that even porn acting was better than Depp's/Knightley's and Bloom's acting in POTC!

Depp and Rush were the only 2 redeeming features of POTC for me.
Bloom is an absolutely awful "actor" though. |
