These are absolutely amazing! They got me even more excited for the box set!
Can't wait to get it and finally start my Bond-athon! I've been waiting literally for ages to get all of them on Blu-Ray and do a proper marathon!
That should of course read "Quatum of Solace" although thinking about it " Quantum of Release" doesn't sound a bad little alternative title even if I do say so myself! To Eon, hands off, I have full copyright!
That's how I feel. The UE editions are great, and no matter how awesome everybody thinks Blu Ray is, I don't see the point spending that much money when I have perfectly good DVDs.
The UE DVD's do have very good quality when you watch them same upscaled on a decent sized HD TV with a bluray player. However - there is still a huge improvement in clarity and colour when you watch a bluray version. Sometimes its like seeing the film for the first time. When I watch films at home I project on a screen 10ft wide. At this size the bluray quality is incredible with fine film grain intact and the UE DVD is almost unwatchable....
I don't think there's a huge difference no, and so I'm not going to spend close to £100 on films I already own.
Some people don't see the point in getting the new boxset. No need to get so upset over it.
Up to you of course, but I wouldn't bother. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there are any amazing new special features or anything, just the quality is a bit better and you get a nice box. Not worth the money if you already have all the films imo.
Absolutely!...The difference in quality is like night and day......but again...i can understand people not wanting to fork out more money for an upgrade in picture quality...the bigger the screen the more noticable the difference between the UE and the bluray....however the DTS-HD master Audio soundtracks on the current blurays blow their DVD Dolby Digital 5.1 counterparts out of the water!...
I'm not saying people should buy it but it seems a case of I'm not shelling out as I don't see it worth it or I can't afford therefore they've convinced themselves the upgrade isn't substantial when it certainly is, fair enough you don't think it's worth as you have the U.E's but they do blow your bog standard DVD's out the water in the case of YOLT & certainly OHMSS.
What are those shaky shots in AVTAK?
Theres no point in trying to persuade the luddites that they should upgrade if they dont want to. I bet they were gutted when they had to trade in their VHS players and cathode ray TVs as well.
I thought YOLT and OHMSS seemed very good but with TLD there is barely any difference.
Why is it the 60s films look the best? Apart from CR and QOS the best bluray I have seen is DN.
Is it just because they are older so the contrast is more marked whereas the 80s films werent that bad to start with so dont benefit so much from the bluray treatment?
From what I understand, this is the basic gist of it, yes.
HMV, i had discount card with them so got it off them.
I don't think this kind of comparison work if there don't make smaller screenshots. BD is made with more pixels in mind then Dvd. On the way it is done now my SE looks better then the UE dvd.
If some one having bought this boxset and also own the UE on dvd and own a 32 inch/81cm tv then i like to see some screenshots directly from that tv.
Stupid question but did you asked for that or did they do it for you ???
I got my copy for 74 pounds, i think its cheap. When it was first announced, i thoguht it owuld be over 100, but its a decent price i think. its also 50th anniversary so i would have got it anyway. Theres only one 50th anniversary so this is quite limited.
£74 is good, I'm getting mine for £81, which works around £3.65 per film, and as I sold the old Blu's I owned (except CR and QOS) for £5 each at a car boot, its still miles cheaper than if I bought the new Blus individually!
They have chose the postage, It says it was despatched 20th sept with 24 hour delivery.
So I guess it's the same delivery for everyone who ordered?
Oh right well mine was dispatched on weds perhaps it might come tomorrow
It's not that I think the DVDs are better quality, it's that I don't see the point in buying the whole boxset for £70-£100 when I already have all the films on DVD. f I only had one or two Bond films or none at all, then I'd buy this.
I'm getting the Indiana Jones boxset because I don't have The Last Crusade or Crystal Skull on DVD.
