Here's hoping for nothing screwy like no literal subs (Castle in the Sky).

It's less than a month until this comes out. Sweet Jesus, am I excited for this. Might be my most anticipated of the year.

This is the shirt of the day on Woot. I thought it was pretty cool, and cute. It's called "The Wizard of "Aw"s"

Anyone know when this will be available for Pre-Order on BestBuy and if/when it does will you be able to choose the Store Pickup option?

I recalled seeing this movie 20 years ago on video after seeing Siskle and Ebert doing a review on it when i was 12 as i was hooked into anime after watching Vampire Hunter D and decided to give this a look on video and i loved it, such a unique and magical anime with appeal to all ages and great animation. I also loved the score with that Winds theme that has that 80s synthesizer feel to it.

I did sold my old 2003 2-disc DVD with other DVDs for upgrading once i heard the news. It should look and sound excellent on high def no doubt as Disney has done good deeds.

I don't want to wait but I may be "forced" to, I really don't want to pay nearly $30 for each one. If the price doesn't come down on release day I might just wait for the next Ghibli sale on Amazon.

I'm thinking there should be at least one guaranteed Ghibli sale before Poppy Hill since this past week they had one just before these next two comes out.

But I hope I don't have to wait and one of these stores will come through with a good price.

If the specs for My Neighbor Totoro are correct, the US edition should have better image quality at 34.96 mbps/approx. 35799 kbps.

The spec says its in DTS HD Master but my receiver shows pro logic ii on the unit display. Check the bd player and it says the hd master track is selected. Am I missing something?

It's 2.0 and your receiver is likely set to matrix it out using Pro-Logic. That's my guess anyway.

Might be a dumb question. But if it is a 2.0 dts hd master mix then it will always default to pro logic because its only using the front speakers?

Sorry for OT but I wanted to ask a similar question - sometimes I cant tell what track my reciever is playing even though my player is set up with Secondary Audio turned off It doesnt say on the display, just what speakers sound is coming from.

Has anyone seen the Spanish digibooks of Totoro and Howl's Moving Castle? They're BEAUTIFUL

I am sure you are right, but I will just wait for the U.K. steelbooks coming out late November that I already have on pre order.
