Hm. One wasn't? I've read at least 4 that were. Can't win 'em all I guess ;)

Probably depends on what sort of listener you are. This reviewer was a picture first kind of guy like me and don't have those trained music ears and he couldn't say if he heard a difference or if it was placebo in the tests.

But I'm all up for advancements like this since it works on all standard hardware and is a free upgrade for us consumers so hopefully we can try it out soon ourselves :)

You don't have to, this site(and others) keep track of pricing for you.

Maybe my joke was to subtle. :confused:

All I know is the title card in Raiders damn well better not say "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark". Little things that mean a lot?

Heck, I'm still worried about the supposed changes to the colours in the opening jungle sequence.

September is already an expensive month....oy, to hell with budget.

kenkraly2004 06-14-2012 02:36 PM

I remember when Ben Burtt was interviewed for the Super 8 Blu-Ray on the dolby insider youtube channel and he said he would like to do a 7.1 mix of the Indiana Jones films for the Blu-Ray release. In that interview he was talking about re-mixing order films for blu-ray.

aronm 06-14-2012 03:11 PM

Yes, I also remember that interview.
I would love to hear "Raiders..." or "Temple..." or "Crusade" in a 7.1 DTS HD MASTER AUDIO or DOLBY TRUE HD.

Maybe this would be that "surprise" which is mentioned in the official press release.

I think the producers, directors and other people should understand, that today cinema and home cinema is not the same as used to be in 1997 or 1998. The 5.1 channel surround sound is long outdated and prehistoric.
The companies of sound (DOLBY and DTS) set the future for more and more channels. Today the 7.1 sound is standard in cinema and home. And I think that in near future it would be replaced by 9.1 or 9.2 (some A/V receivers can have 2 subwoofers) sound (for example DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIz)

No matter how sound we get I will buy INDY BOX SET on blu-ray!
And I'm happy that we will receive him one month sooner:D:D

kenkraly2004 06-14-2012 03:21 PM

Agreed aronm. No matter if it is DTS HD Master Audio or Dolby True HD I would like to hear the Indiana Jones films in 7.1 Audio. I have a 5.1 Onkyo home theater system with DTS HD Master Audio or Dolby True HD. The model number of the Onkyo receiver I have is the TX-SR308 with Yamaha speakers and a subwoofer. Sure it's not the same as 7.1 but those 2 back surround channels are usually matrixed in the left and right surround channels anyway.

Or at least normally does. We did lose items for the last six weeks on this site. But still it is one of the great features of the site.

Falaskan 06-14-2012 06:51 PM

What are some of the other movies coming out in Sept that you will be buying?

True, but that was a total anomaly with the dataloss. This site has saved me so much money via the price tracker function, I am always sure to order my BD's from Amazon through them. It's the least I can do! Just like I did with the Indy set! ;-)

90 dollars is a very high price for old titles on blu-ray.
That's $22,50 per movie.

That's why I'm holding off until Black Friday or until an Amazon sale. I'm going to wait until it's sub-$60, aka $20/piece for the classics and the last one as a free bonus.

You will get it at the lowest price, provided you keep your preorder. I believe the lowest price was $69.99 which, unless it drops even lower, is all you'll pay.

I know you're not talking to me, but I got Titanic, Avengers and the Devil's Advocate so far on pre-order. Awesome month.

I was ready to jump all over you for saying this since my pre-order shows it's only $69.99, but I didn't even realize the price went up! :eek:

Plus the rumored September Release of Cabin in the Woods,and that September might get more announcements,and the WWE Release isn't announced/set yet,so my budget is shot to hell,hopefully October-December don't get alot more announcements besides New Releases(and the catalogs that are already announced)and if there are not any Mega-Set that September already has 3(possibly 4) of,which means my other Mega-Set want that has been rumored for a little over a year,and will be expensive-Friends Complete Series Set,will become a reality,since when it rains it pours(both good things and bad things this can apply to,even tho it is mostly used when bad things happen in a short amount of time,but it can happen with good too).

Now this year is becoming TO GOOD for Blu-Ray,lol.
