By using Optical (like I do) the player will provide a standard DTS audio track instead of the lossless one. Depending on who you ask, the difference between those tracks vary from "inaudible" to "night and day".

Both are clearly better than the low bitrate of Dolby Digital from the DVD era.

Didn't think of that. Maybe it's like that for US Alien Anthology too which has swedish subtitles in my player - they are very similar sets and both by Fox. So I trust Planetaxel then. Thanks

MerlinPants, I'm a bit confused by some of your posts. You previously predicted PQ scores for each movie and these happened to be close to the blu-ray.com review's scores within 1 point or so for each movie. Because of that you're telling people to eat humble pie and saying you told them so? It wouldn't be that hard to guess scores out of 5 and be within 1 point or even a half point.

Everyone on here has more or less been on the same page regarding the reality of the transfers, but the difference is how important the flaws are to each individual. Some people don't mind the mild DNR in TPM or the static grain in the OT, while others can't help notice these things.

The reason some people aren't posting here anymore is that the discussion and debate is over. The discs are out and everyone is making his own conclusions. Based on your posts people who find flaws in the PQ aren't welcome here so they've probably gone to other forums. If they post here they'll be attacked...

Just my two cents. People should be enjoying the discs instead of arguing - that ship has sailed. Nobody "won" any argument or debate. It simply ceased because the release date is upon us and that anxiety is going away.

You might want to try that humble pie yourself. Let me know how it is and I might take a slice.

I see the review more of an overview of skimming of the movies that does not encompass pointing out obvious flaws.

What like at 01:25:23 you see contrasting colors? I mean beyond obvious signs and symptoms of a transfer how much could a person over analyze something that if given the correct seating distance you wouldn't notice without trying?

Reviews are meant to find glaring issues and things that detract from the overall experience not "well in minute 6 of Jar-Jar's speech his foot goes from a brown to a darker brown"

But maybe I’m misinterpreting what you want out of a review.

But again Projectors are even less standard across the board then going from say an LCD to Plasma or LCD to LCD exc.

A total personal preference from my time around projectors I wouldn't trust one that was under $2500 in price and wouldn't buy one thats under $5,000.

Yeah, only you would find a way to make the lack of content that many, many people would want carried over to be a good thing.

Getting new content is nice, but it really shouldn't have to be at the expense of past content.

I appreciate releases in which the old content gets carried over AND we also get new content on top of it. Now that's something that's actually logical to appreciate.

Its the same sound and mix as the Dolby 6.1 but with more compression though right? Its not like they are transferring the DVD mix over right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi, not trying to start anything but you really do not understand what happened about that whole situation and it is not as one sided as you are alluding to. The situation is over anyways and we don't need to bring this back up again so lets just let it die and move on.

Just once, allow someone to have an opposing viewpoint from you without challenging it and calling it things like "absurd" or "ridiculous".

A 50" screen from 10 feet away is not "big". If you like it, awesome, but stop trying to convince every single person on the planet to have the exact same views on everything as you do, because it will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever happen.

Anyone else here a little stunned to find out that ATOC scored a whole point lower on PQ than any of the OT films? TPM I was expecting (saw it, wasn't overly impressed), but ATOC? Wow.

Not only that, but he said the TPM looked "amazing", and the DNR "wasn't noticeable" and made about 10 other "predictions" that the review here completely contradicted.

It's easy to look back on the few things anyone could have guessed and act like you had some kind of clairvoyance, but this is really reaching.

A few posters who spoke against the transfers have dealt with just as large backlash, so as you said it really isn't one sided. False to assume only one group is capable of doing certain things. And only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Enjoy the discs.

How long are you going to continue bashing him? Especially when he isn't here anymore to be able to take up for himself? Real big man you are. lol

All-in-all, none of the retailer exclusives are anything to get excited about IMO. Exclusive packaging or a bonus disc would have gotten me interested...

That wasn't what I was referring to. I was referring to the one sided attack against a man who was just sharing information and and his view on the movies since he already had the set and most here had not received it yet. He was not trying to act like he was above everyone else or trying to rub anything in anyone's face he was just trying to help people. But whatever, it's over just get over it and lets all move on. He isn't even here anymore to defend himself.

The core lossy DTS track is embeded into the DTS-MA track and created at the same time when they encoded the master track, so both are coming from the same mix.

does the price typically go up or down from this point?

what do you guys think it will cost in a month, 2 months from now?

Black Friday it should be down to about 49.99 or maybe even 39.99 then. Not saying it will be for sure but good chance of it.
