To be fair street date is 22nd May on all these and Hidefdigest don't have any reviews as yet. I find this the best source for reviews.

You can aldo try AVS whose members generally get their discs a day or two quicker than here in the UK.http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=152

Damm! You've gone and made me order the two Clint films from Play HD now

I've had both Flags and Iwo Jima for nearly a week now and both have very good picture and sound.

would you rate them tier 0 or 1 monkeyspoon?

I have no idea what u mean.They both look and sound great tho.

I've got Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of our Fathers as well. Only watched Letters so far and it has excellent picture and sound. I haven't got the equipment for TrueHD so can't comment on that but the DD+ scaled to DTS is brilliant.

[BIGRED]

I got both letters & flags a few days agao, thats the weekend viewing sorted(unless the ultimate matrix collection arrives tomorrow!!!) It may sound like a stupid question but what order should i watch them in , i was thinking letters then flags , i haven't seen either of them yet !

[McNab]

What confused me was the street date of May 22nd.

Once again, Celticbhoy, I appologise.

I have received all of these from Movietyme but have only briefly spun them to check they work. However they all look like they have nice pictures. As expected S and B seems to have some scenes better than others but it still looks good from what I saw.
