Default 48 Hours - worst quality BD I've seen yet

Fortunately, I only paid $4.99 for it with the Best Buy dvd to blu update coupon. I watched it last night and this is the worst transfer I've ever seen on Blu-ray yet. First of all, there is hardly any more resolution than DVD and the transfer was clearly mishandled. Tons of mosquito noise, frozen artifacts, and harsh video noise throughout. Some noise reduction was also applied to some scenes, but not severe which is maybe the only positive aspect. The color also is very unnatural and severely limited - reminding me of an older VHS-like release. There is an unnatural greenish-yellow like tint (not in a deliberate stylized manner). Whatever master was used was in horrible condition. If you have this on DVD, I wouldn't bother. Just a heads up.
