KaiGusto made mention of michaeldvd.com.au reviewing this title confirming it is 1080i. A recent visit to Big W has complicated things even further. I saw Basic so decided to check it out. Sure enough, it says 1080i on the back. Now that in itself isn't completely damning, but certainly not preferable. It was what was above that in slightly smaller text that got me:
UPCONVERTED TO
Yep, not only is this one 1080i but it's not even true 1080. It's some average upconvert so I encourage everyone to stay away from it. This would be the first time I have thought ill of Icon. Up until now they have always been great, particularly with bringing lesser known titles to Blu-ray and also with SteelBooks. Yes, they've had a few 1080i releases but never this before.
Thumbs down in a big way.
