Hendrix are you getting this? I'd love to get this and I know I will when I get a bluray player.

By the way have you seen the Justice League: The New Frontier that was released in hidef recently? I've seen bits and pieces while my son watched it and it looks good. I also have Appleseed Ex Machina but haven't watched it yet either. Have you checked that out?

If/when you get this Batman" Gotham Knight on bluray let us know your thoughts.

Falcon, I have those you mentioned in my online rental queves, but haven't seen them yet. The animated BATMAN I'm really interested in (being a fan), but will rent it first. My method of buying BDs is to wait for the INEVITABLE sale prices that always follow a few months after the a title's release. Why buy at MSRP or even Amazon's discount, when a few months later the title will be even lower, or perhaps part of a BOGO deal?

I really want that forthcoming [June] DIRTY HARRY SpEd Deluxe Box Set of all 5 films, collector's booklet, etc, and Amazon has it on pre-order discount sale for $90... but I'm thinking within a few months (Aug or Sept), the price will have fallen to $70 or under, so why not just wait for the price drop. That's why we have RENTALS.

So in the meantime, I am a regular RENTER of BDs and HD-DVDs (both Netflix and Blockbuster), and enjoy the online rates and in-store 'freebies' when exchange my Blockbuster rentals at my local store, which this past week has added about 50 BD titles too! Now, when I return an online rental (3-out-at-time plan for me), and I walk out with a free Blu-ray disc rental, as previously I've been doing this with SD-DVD.

That's a good plan. When I get the PS3 I'll rent blurays first through zip.ca and I'll wait for the ones I like to go on sale.

You end up saving so much money that way.

ZIP.CA - yeah, this is very beneficial for RENTALS (Canadian residents) while waiting for sale-purchases.



Since Amazon is offering the RAMBO Trilogy (first 3 films) on sale for $34.95 (and Free shipping), I'm going to buy it without waiting for a further price drop. However, the latest (4th) film RAMBO (arriving May 27th, see cover below), is still $27.95 even sale-priced, so I'll rent it instead, and wait for a later price drop to buy it ($20 and under). FYI: $15 and under is my 'automatic' buy price (of interested titles), but I'll occasionally pay more for an instant 'must-have' (like the $19.95 Predator this week, and I already own the SpEd SD-DVD set).

Hendrix have you read the reviews for Predator? Not so good on the image quality. It looked bad on DVD also. I don't know why they don't remaster this film. It deserves better.

PREDATOR... Falcon see my comments (from April 8) and recent review excerpt on THIS THREAD - note: I'm a fan of this film, and the current Blu-ray is the best available quality presentation of it at this time, in 1080p/24, and a great soundtrack. OK, so it's not going to look as brilliant as other recent hi-def discs (granted), but it's still worth the $20 until Fox remasters it again - YEARS from now probably.

By the way, I heard that Warner did a major remastering of the Dirty Harry 5-film series... 4K resolution transfer (like they did with Blade Runner), so should look and sound better than ever. My favorites in the series are DH and Sudden Impact.

Edit: I should also point out that you can always sell an unwanted used disc (on Amazon, eBay, Half.com, etc), whenever a newer remastered edition becomes available. Last week I sold my Warner DVD of Dirty Harry (original edition, anamorphic) for $17 on Amazon, in anticipation of the forthcoming summer Blu-ray 5-set (or individual DH BD if interested). So, one day when Fox decides to re-release Predator on a 2nd BD edition (remastered SpEd), I will sell off the one I'm buying this week. I do this occasionally when it's worth it, and/or the value of the re-sale received is at least $10 or more.
