Play.com (UK) : Clash Of The Titans (1981) (Blu-ray) : Blu-ray - Free Delivery

It's while since we've had some Harryhausen on Blu so this is a welcome addition.

I wish First Men In The Moon or Argonauts would come out

Optimum Coco before Chanel

Dubliner1 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:23:18 GMT

Picked up Coco Before Chanel today- from the awful Craptimum Home Entertainment...its another BD25 disc but at least they splashed out on a fancy cardboard slipcase with the money they saved using BD25 discs instead of BD50. woooohoooo!!!!!! :rolleyes:
I couldn't decide who were worse- Entertainment In Video or Optimum..but it is now without doubt Optimum. EIV seem to be doing things right now and even recently offered free replacements for Snakes On A Plane after it was released missing the Dolby TrueHD audio.
The back of the Coco blu-ray box states BD25/HD Standard 1080p...I think this should say sub-Standard...at least they are good enough to include dts-HD audio!
Will be interesting to see if Warner Bros use a BD50 disc when this is released Stateside.

Digital Copies?

bradalax — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:24:14 GMT

Morning,

I've just ordered my first Blu-ray player so have been hanging out here for a bit reading up on what's good and what's not.

I've read a few threads talking about digital copies of disks that are included in some sets and that they have expiration dates.

Two questions - what is a digital copy and why does it have an expiration date?

Cheers,

Ghostbusters

What are the problems with the ghostbusters blu-ray?
I was going to buy it, but heard its not as good as it should be?

cheapest high street store for Star Trek 11 and are they all 3 disc

loz — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:49:05 GMT

Where's the cheapest place to pick up Star Trek 11 tomorrow?

I see Blockbuster advertising it for �16.99, which is cheaper than the online stores like Play.

But are the high street store copies all 3-disk version as Play and others are selling (inc a 'digital copy')

thanks

Cost of disks still putting me off

nheather — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:23:13 GMT

I've had a BD player for the best part of a year now but I only have around 6 disks, 2 of which I got free and the others are boxsets which were on extreme special offer.

I'm still buying DVDs though my rate of purchase has fallen off - because if it's a film I really want I'm holding of in the hope that BD disk prices drop.

So the nett result is that since buying my BD player the number of disks (DVD and BD) that I buy has reduced dramatically.

I rent movies from Blockbuster and always choose BD because the cost of renting is the same as for DVD.

Personally, whilst the distributors maintain these high prices I can't see the BD revolution happening anytime soon.

I know that DVD prices were high when they came out, but they offered a stunning improvement over VHS. By comparison, BD has to compete with DVD and whilst there is a noticable improvement it isn't as marked as DVD<>VHS in my opinion.

Just my thoughts oin the subject - what do others think.

Cheers,

Nigel

Blu-ray Disc cases

Pecker — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:13:06 GMT

I'm looking to buy some replacement BD cases, as one or two of my originals have broken spindles, etc.

However, there are two different sizes of case (thicker and thinner), and I need both. They need to be pretty much identical to the original caes to fit in the artwork, etc.

Some of the ones i've seen online look like a 'solid' blue rather than the transparent blue we usually get.

Can anyone help?

Cheers.
