Oops, sorry - I wasn't trying to insult your gear! I just don't like the looks of the current Onkyos. I was a fan of their earlier designs. Reactions: nibhaz

Adam Audioholic Jedi Jul 5, 2006 32,066 0 113 Tucson, Arizona Jul 3, 2009 #383 Anyone know about a new release of the Transformers blu-ray? Best Buy has two editions listed, one is the special edition that most people have for $20, and the other is one that is scheduled to be released on July 28. Looks like there is also a version of the DVD being released that day, too.

Adam Audioholic Jedi Jul 5, 2006 32,066 0 113 Tucson, Arizona Jul 3, 2009 #386 I ended up going to all three stores (the Target by me didn't have Transformers on sale and didn't have Curse of the Black Pearl, Walmart didn't have either, but Best Buy had both and would match prices), but I now have two discs in hand and am just waiting on UPS to bring my new toy.

No, but they would just leave it. There was no note, either. Nice one, though. Even though I know that stuff, you still got me worried for a second.

I'm suprised you did not get a tracking number and at least you could have seen the "out for delivery" notice. I guess you'll be busy for the next few hours. Let us know how you like it. Do you have a set of multichannel analog cables for the lossless or are you just going to use optical to your reciever? Reactions: Adam

Adam Audioholic Jedi Jul 5, 2006 32,066 0 113 Tucson, Arizona Jul 3, 2009 #395 Wow, me likey. That really does make quite a difference. adk highlander said: Do you have a set of multichannel analog cables for the lossless or are you just going to use optical to your reciever? Click to expand... The player that I got doesn't have multichannel outputs, so I'm going optical. To get those outputs, it would have cost another $75. I'd rather just get a new receiver.

Adam Audioholic Jedi Jul 5, 2006 32,066 0 113 Tucson, Arizona Jul 3, 2009 #396 Hmmm. I just watched parts of Transformers on DVD (the same movie that I watched parts of on blu-ray this afternoon). The upconverted version over HDMI looks really good. Not quite as good as the blu-ray, but I can sure understand why people haven't jumped all over blu-ray. The Oppo 980 might have been a better choice for me (probably quieter and likely loads faster), but I don't regret my purchase. I would have always wondered about blu-ray, and now I know. It does look better, but I won't be buying a bunch of movies in that format. I'll sure get them from Netflix in blu-ray, though, if I can.

ParadigmDawg Audioholic Overlord Nov 20, 2006 10,567 0 113 Hiding from Alex Jul 3, 2009 #397 It takes awhile to really start to see how much better BD is. I think most of us who went from a good DVD player to BD wrote a thread titled "underwhelmed by Blu-Ray". After you watch several and then go back to SD you will see. I hate when I rent movies and all that is left is a SD, it almost kills me. Order an AVR, I didn't know you were HDMIless. Reactions: Adam

K kay9 Junior Audioholic Jun 5, 2009 65 0 0 Jul 3, 2009 #400 I also upgraded to blu-ray video and audio (from a 2002 progressive DVD player and kenwood HTIB brought from Sams in 2000) and the difference is amazing to say the least. I am going to test out some of my SD collection and see if there is much of a visual difference from the Panny BD-60 upconversion. Over 800 SD DVD's that i am not ready to give up yet. Just finished Man on Fire. It is a must to own on blu-ray. Def' reference material. Reactions: Adam
