Too bad none of those movies are what I want to see LOL.

I went to Best Buy before I saw this announcement and was very surprised when I saw Hard Candy on the shelves, especially at $9.99. I picked it up in a heartbeat.

I was just going to get Anchorman, but then I saw Bad Lieutenant on the same endcap and snagged it for $9.99. I kinda wanted to buy one of each of the $10 movies, lol

House Season 6 comes out tomorrow. $47.99 at the Best Buy.

Seems REALLY pricey, but I'll bite anyways. If you aren't going to buy your favorite show in Blu-Ray, what are you going to buy?

I'd like to go ahead and buy the last season of lost, but i'm waiting for the eventual price drop. AMZ sold seasons 1-5 for $105 earlier this year.

Hard Candy seems like a must for enthusiast... Plus you can't go wrong it's only $7.99 @ BB

Lionsgate comes through with an amazing 1080p transfer for 'Hard Candy.' I really wasn't expecting that much from a low-budget movie like this. This is perhaps one of, if not the, best transfers I've seen on a movie that cost under a million bucks to produce.

Boy, they're not kidding. This is a solid transfer.

But is it really now only $7.99 at BB? It was $9.99 when I bought it.

Re: **Official Blu-Ray & HD-DVD Thread Part II**

Season 6 of House has the absolute worst packaging I have ever seen in a DVD/Blu set. Unbelievable. It's so ridiculously difficult to get discs out without scratching them it's mind numbing. There needs to be a recall, and I'm dead serious.

It has what seems to be standard for a Universal set release disc-on-disc packaging. Except that there's these gay little tabs holding the disc in instead of the normal thing that goes in the middle of the disc.

I took a pic of it to show this ridiculous design:


Now, as you can see, all that's holding the disc in is those tabs I circled. The issue is that they're firm. They don't flex, they don't move. No doubt so they couldn't break off. But as a result, you physically have to bend the disc to get it in and out of the case. And I don't like bending a disc. Alternative is pushing on it, but that's certainly going to scratch it. And you'd have to push like hell. I don't know why they made these cases so needlessly complicated. I'm fine with disc-on-disc, but if I have to put my discs in danger to get them in and out that's a no-no.

Re: **Official Blu-Ray & HD-DVD Thread Part II**

it looks to me like you would lift it up towards the bottom and slide it out from under those? i don't see an issue

[Blzer]

Re: **Official Blu-Ray & HD-DVD Thread Part II**

Blu-rays are pretty scratch-resistant, I wouldn't worry too much about that. Just push on the center ring of the case, and the best of luck to you getting it out.

I believe the Matrix DVD's are like that in the ultimate trilogy pack as well. I don't have much to complain about except the fact the cases themselves are slim.

Can't get at it from the bottom. Those holes in the bottom corners are there for no reason. There's a little plastic wall between the hole and the disc for some reason.

There is no center ring. There's nothing in the middle of the disc. Just the tabs are holding them in.
