I am tempted to order Predator.

I am awaiting receipt of The Island and Starship Troopers on Blu-Ray from Amazon UK. They should be here next week. I will post a review then.

How are the BR disks from UK playing? Do American players have to be PAL on All Region disks?

Great review!

Since they all share the same video encodes it does not matter. Only when it comes to SD Dvd.

There's no PAL on HD it's 1920x1080 @ 24hz everything or mostly right now. So as long as they're no region code it will work. Those title don't have Region Codes..

Yeah it's PQ is nice, it's not Tier0 , but it's still way better than the DVD and the Audio is really agressive in PCM 5.1.... If you like the movie and are ready to pay the price (more than a none import) got for it.

Btw if you are in N/A use www.sendit.com and use the Gift option, they charge less shipping than anyone else and the gift option ensure that you won't be charged at custom

Thanks Ryoohki! I'm going have to figure out how to convert pounds to dollars!

NTSC & PAL are standard def resolutions 480 & 576 respectively. Neither has anything to do with high definition.

Film based Blu-rays are all 24p. The player will output the cadences needed in the locales. All you need to worry about is the region coding.

I have five UK Blu-ray imports and they all play absolutely great on my North America PS/3.
