    Can't believe I didn't notice that before. I'm almost anal about films being coded at the right aspect ratio - really bugs me when I notice it. Will have to do a like for like comparison sometime.

    Very pleased to hear about Casino Royale but why get rid of the 'Bond Girls Are Forever' feature?

    @Kananga are you able to answer whether A View To A Kill is no longer cropped? And has the deliberately shaky shot been put back in?

    It's the shot when Bond boards the snowmobile which get shot at in the PTS. It was always deliberately shaky, until the 'restoration' for the UE DVD releases 'fixed' it.

    The shaky shot in AVTAK is the earth tremor at Stacey's home in San Francisco/Oakwood

    From what I can tell the shot has been fixed, and no cropping, AVTAK looks sharper then TLD.

    The only let down with AVTAK is the bad projection shots, when Bond is on the ladder of the fire truck and fighting Zorin on the GGB.

    Anyone know what LTK is looking like. I bet those Florida Keys and Mexicali shots are sweeet in HD. :-)

    Too much restricted location for me. It's one main reason why I feel I don't like Dalton's second as much as I should

    The Florida shots when Bond goes looking for the Shark with Sharkey look great. One of the best Bond films made.

    22 blu-ray films for £80-ish. I'm not complaining. Just a little miffed that I pre-ordered as soon as I knew about this. Expected Amazon to dispatch on the 21st for 24th delivery, and yet (having spend literally £1,000s with them) mine is not even being dispatched till Monday 24th, delivery Wednesday (if I'm lucky), bit of a let down. Was hoping to see OHMSS in high-def Monday night. Bummer.

    Do amazon even realise that thats the idea of a preorder. You preorder so oyu get it on release date. Thats pritty bad. I havent got mine either from hmv. They sent it out wenesday. so it should be here for Monday, hopefuly.

    Same here, and I originally per-ordered with Amazon, but like you say, come tomorrow, we should have a knock at our doors...

    So for those of you picking up the box set, are you going to watch them in order or start with a personal favourite

    I will start out quickly checking the quality of all the films that I don't have already on bluray...starting with OHMSS...then I will watch OHMSS all the way through and then start them all from the beginning up until the release of SKYFALL. That sounds like a good plan...

    That does sound good. I am still undecided on my first couple

    A friend has received the UK set and said that the 5.1 mix on OHMSS is still crap BUT they have included the mono soundtrack.

    OK, that's promising. Thanks. I'll find a video online - there must be one! - of the differences between the SE and UE versions. Also the cropping is far less than GoldenEye but some of the image was still sliced off.

    Do you know if he listened to it in DTS-HD master audio?. Because I did read that OHMSS and YOLT had great DTS-HD master audio soundtracks....

    Looks like I have roughly two weeks to wait for GE, OP, DN, FYEO, and LALD to ship from Wal-Mart. Yet again, for the rare few of you who haven't bought the Bond 50 blu-ray box set, the separate blu-rays are currently available for pre-order for $9.99 a piece at Wal-Mart.

    Do all the films have the mono track in place? I hope so, far better than the 5.1 mix! :-&

    Tomorrow. So pumped.

    I've got a 7:1 surround headset - that'll be my ears for weeks.

    EDIT: It's actually the PlayStation one, $65, very good deal.

    Yes, they charge with a mini-USB. They look ridiculous, but they sound brilliant.

    I think I bought them at the Source (I'm in Canada). You can get them anywhere - Future Shop, BestBuy, all that. I paid $65ish.

    Does anyone know why Bond Girls are Forever has been dropped as an extra from the Casion Royale disc?

    Might be a rights issue, but I'm not sure.
