Get your [insert next gen format of choice] out for the lads

Well someone had to start it

Mainly done as my collection is now starting to grow and looking for ideas on how best to show them off

Kida look lost on DVD shelves due to the height

Howsabout building yourself something like this to house them? I'd love to, but my carpentry skills are non-existence *sigh* it's the modern age for you isn't it? Us modern men have no practical skills anymore.

My modest collection (28 movies including the Matrix Collection-out of shot), note plenty of childrens films in there!

Yeah, I figured I would be organised this time round. My DVDs were everywhere until I ran out of space and had to store all the discs in a DJ case which I'll probably end up doing with the HD DVDs as well.

I watched Breach yesterday and it's a very good film; quite slow paced but well acted and with a decent plot. 8/10 from me though the HD DVD PQ isn't exactly reference material as it's quite soft and subdued.

The PQ on Meaning of Life is more or less what I expected. It's generally clean and quite sharp in places but, as you would guess, isn't going to cause Kong any sleepless nights in the overall impressiveness stakes.

Re: Get your [insert next gen format of choice] out for the lads

hi everyone!

Here´s my HD collection so far:



On the way:

Enter the Dragon ( HD-DVD )
V for Vendetta ( HD-DVD )
Blood Diamond ( HD-DVD )
The Island ( HD-DVD )
Smokin´ Aces ( HD-DVD )

I also have The Perfume on BD ( it was a present from the FILMAX rep. )

BTW some of the titles have maybe unknown titles for you because here in Spain they suck at translating titles. i.e. The Departed = Infiltrated
I´m about to have another crazy spree at dvdpacific.com

Hope you like it!

I bought Underworld Evolution on Spanish HD-DVD recently and they have printed the spine the wrong way round

I laugh, but it actually really annoys me!

It´s Filmax so what do you expect from them???

They have the publishing rights for Brotherhood of the Wolf and Million Dollar Baby and they´re nowhere to be seen or announced.

I remember that BOTW had a lot of languages and really good picture and sound so I don´t know why they´re waiting so much.

Re: Get your [insert next gen format of choice] out for the lads

Had to take some pics for insurance so thought I would resurrect this thread, awful pics but I think they just needed an idea that I did have alot.

I really need to get a proper shelf for these as its getting a little cramped around the TV stand





A couple out on loan - Blood Diamond, Flags, Clerks, COM and a few more en route - 300, Shooter, Shaun, Premonition, Last Samurai, Good Shepherd & Identity
