      w00t, I got 10 more HD-DVDs in the mail today. I have about 60 movies now. There are about 10 more I need to get on my list. Nice collection now. I've paid about 10 bucks or less for them too, which feels pretty damn good.

      I've only watched a couple so far . Once I finish getting my movies, I'll finally have time to watch them.

        Love that movie. I hope I can as well.

        I found it strange that on Cloverfield, when I quit the playback and start it up again, it doesn't continue back from where it was in the movie, it starts at the very beginning.

            Are any "future-proof" SAL blu-ray players suppose to come out before/around Holidays that is going to be cheaper than the PS3?

Then I went to Sears... they had it, but said they didn't price-match Blu-ray movies and only electronics like TVs, etc. So I went back to Target, and unfortunately it was the same stupid idiot working in the electronics section, so I went to the front. The guy at the front sort of didn't know, but when he saw the price with tax was like $37 something, I think he just felt sorry for me and did it anyway. $18.75... BOOYAH!
              Weird. Never heard of Sears not price matching blu rays. I would have talked to a manager. I used to work there and we'd price match anything, especially movies. And I recently price matched I Am Legend on blu ray at Sears.

                Amazon BD Buy 2 get 1 free sale. I just picked up Mission Impossible 3, Flags of Our Fathers, and The Italian Job for $41.90 shipped. Can't beat <$14 per movie.

                Also picked up Cloverfield($16.95) and Batman Begins($17.95) on BD earlier this week. I've got a lot of movie watching to do this weekend.

                    No problem. I'm still tempted to go back and pick up 3 more.

                        Joe, can you please post back on the PQ for Lost Boys? I have read way too many contradicting reports that it is good and that it is bad.

                            OK, I took a quick view of Lost Boys. The transfer is very good. A definite upgrade from the DVD Version. The audio is also very good. I didn't get into the extras @ all. I know it's a bare-bone review so I apologize :wink:

                                *COUGH*!

                                Blu-ray gives Iron Man a perfect 5.0

                                Overall, Iron Man is the best two-disc package available on Blu-ray. The film is fun, the audio is mighty impressive and I can't in good conscience fault the video quality enough to deduct points. It may not be the most detailed picture I've ever seen, but I believe that could easily be accounted for by the camera work and CGI integration. Robert Downey, Jr. and the special effects give Iron Man a fresh, unique vibe that sets it apart from most action or superhero films. There are enough surprises and plot twists to keep any audience on their toes; enough humor to keep any audience chuckling; enough character development to satisfy the critics and Stark nerds; and enough effects and action to get the blood pumping. Iron Man gets my highest recommendation and Paramount--a studio that not long ago snubbed Blu-ray consumers--gets my thumbs up on a job very well done.
                                Iron Man Blu-ray Release Date September 30, 2008 (Ultimate 2-Disc Edition). Blu-ray reviews, news, specs, ratings, screenshots. Cheap Blu-ray movies and deals.
