Re: **Official Blu-Ray & HD-DVD Thread Part II**
No reason for me not to get Chronicle or Sherlock Holmes 2 at those prices, both which I thought were very serviceable. I already own MI:GP, and it's been past 45 days so I can't price match it. Oh well.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

What's the word on Chronicle? I hear it's pretty good. For that price I just might jump on it

Re: **Official Blu-Ray & HD-DVD Thread Part II**
Here were my impressions about it in the movies seen thread:
http://www.operationsports.com/forum...post2043335668
Chronicle
Very well done, and a nice fresh take on the "found footage" genre of films. The acting was very solid, and the characters were nicely developed. For a $15 million budget, the inconsistency from good SFX to poor SFX was a little forgiving, but it makes you wish they could have had a bigger budget to iron some of these things out. I can see a sequel being possible, but if it comes out, it will have to be sooner than later. It's not one of those films which should become an enshrined legacy where you have to wait four years for the next one to come out.
I think most people here would like it, even if you're not a fan of "first person camera" movies. Like I said, it uses concepts that gives it a fresh enough take where it almost become a merger between POV shots and regular filming techniques.Last edited by Blzer; 06-12-2012, 09:39 AM.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Got Chronicle and Sherlock Holmes 2, then I realized it would be incomplete without getting the first Sherlock Holmes which was $14.99, so I got that as well.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Re: **Official Blu-Ray & HD-DVD Thread Part II**
Only select blus, no promo code needed. Shipping is still 96 cents per item so it's $7 a movie.
Pretty good selection. 9 pages with approx. 28 titles per page to choose from (some repeats)
http://www.gohastings.com/browse/MOV...m_nooverride=1
Notables (IMHO):
Kung Fu Panda 2
Tower Heist
Toy Story 3
Pirates: Stranger Tides
30 Minutes or Less
The Smurfs 3D (cheap 3D movie for the kids)
I went ahead and picked up Tower Heist, Takers and Kung Fu Panda 2.Comment

Re: **Official Blu-Ray & HD-DVD Thread Part II**
Did you mean blu or DVD? I can't vouch for their DVDs because I wouldn't buy used DVDs...too easily scratched especially older ones. Used Newer releases should be fine. Wouldn't touch a PV--you know how people treat rentals.
Blu rays are a different story because of the scratch resistant coating. These are in very good condition. I'd guess that probably a third of my collection is used/PV blu rays from gohasting.
Note: Just like Blockbuster, the PVs will have that center ring barcode sticker. It usually comes off just fine with no residue, but not always.Last edited by GAMEC0CK2002; 06-22-2012, 07:16 PM.Comment
