comes out 8/7

Our version is lossy.

is hard to tell the diff between lossless and normal digital, unless you had a high end speakers or turn in very high volume is very hard to hear the difference. is like 720p vs 1080p concept.

There are a lot of places you can get Korean discs from.

Yesasia always has Korean discs.

Travis Bickle · 07-23-2009, 02:15 PM

Nice! I'd be interested in getting this one for the Dolby TrueHD. However, do you think Warner would domestically sneak out an upgraded audio version of this like they did with Superman Returns?

Rantlers · 07-23-2009, 04:52 PM

Sweet jeebus, I'm getting this. Thanks for the heads up Digital!

I had to seriously pick my jaw up off the floor when I first heard lossless over lossy. I'm forever spoiled...

DigitalfreakNYC · 08-11-2009, 02:23 PM

So did anyone end up picking this up?

Looks like I didn't lie

It seems the HK version also has a lossless English track.

ibra · 08-12-2009, 07:41 AM

I`ve got this edition. It`s already out here in Bulgaria. English TrueHD is not very impressive. Bitrate - only 1,3 mbps.

Do the Japanese spoken parts have English subtitles?

Yes, they have. But you need to turn them on - other way, subtitles would not appear...

I purchased the Japanese version of The Phantom Of The Opera with TrueHD 5.1 vs US version of DD 5.1.

Big difference in sound. Well worth the cost if you love the movie and have a good sound system

If you turn the English subtitles on do they only appear when Japanese is spoken or do the English subtitles show all the time even when English is being spoken?

The subtitle option should work like all movies, selecting on will display all dialogue with subtitles not selective portions.

It's still better than a 640kbps Dolby Digital track. Although there is quite a bit of dialogue in this movie, I imagine a TrueHD track should really improve the music score, clarity of discrete sounds to minor atmospheric effects and of course, the combat sequences.

I would disagree with this statement. My speakers are very average and I can tell a difference between lossless and lossy sound at a moderate level. Is the difference dramatic on my setup, no... but the clarity and the way the sound field envelops is improved and I stress that loudness is not necessarily what makes audio, it's the clarity. Plus, no way would I ever choose a 720p display over a 1080p at this point

So, it's all or nothing? That's kind of a bummer.

I should have my HK version tomorrow so I will post if it is all or nothing.
