Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 & 2 3D Blu-ray (2010/2011) [Region Free]

[Jr7936]

well its like this when I went into the store they had 9 copies of the pt one 3d release on a cardboard display all under the wrong 19.99 tag, that is why i though they should have to honor the price, like most companies would in that situation
Bascally corporate just wanted to call them so they could varify my address so the giftcard would be shipped to the correct address

[armandxp]

So, if there are three $200 blu ray players sitting in the place of a $79 blu ray player, they should honor it? Customer's move stuff around all the time. It's not the store's fault. Anytime I find something in the wrong place at WM or BB I always let them know, and you know what, they remember it and I always get better service, or price matches without any hassle. Like I said, if the price on the sticker, product, or ad is wrong, I will argue it, but usually don't have to. Just sayin'

[Jr7936]

all i can tell you was this was when they 1st opened and an employee put all 9 of them in the wrong place sitting in the section with the 19.99 price tag.
I doubt a customer moved them since i was the 2nd one in the store and I noticed the item and the price tag when I was in line at the video game counter.
I know at a grocery store, i have been able to get beer price matched, when they had the 4 dollar tag in both sections, and it rang up as 8.99 due to the wrong tag being in both spots.

I watched deathly Hallows 1 last night in 3D.
I'm not sure what people were expecting, but I thought it looked just fine.
Some people thought it sucked.
If you are looking for objects popping out of the screen, go to a theater.
If you're looking for nice depth, this has plenty of it.
I must say though, in very dark scenes, the effect does go away quite a bit.
But indoors, and in daylight, it looked great.

Would like to interject here that the 3D "effect" is still there on the encoded disc for future compatibility. It is just going to take some time for capable display's to be able to render it like the OLED's can on the Sony HMZ-T1 head mounted device. That technology has the best shadow-detail rendering I've ever seen on any consumer display, IMO equivalent to 2D quality movie theater projection rendition.

Ha... I was watching through this today - having read this post on here previously, but not remembering that I read it on this site. Luckily I found it again so knew I wasn't just imagining sh*t Yup... It's there on my copy (Aus) as well. Does indeed look like it reverts back to 2D for that shot only (albeit recessed into the screen), then back to 3D in the shot following. Random, and definitely wasn't like that at the cinema!

pt 1 3D was showing up as 17.99 in the store today when I went to get the price match. As I was leaving I noticed they had tags up that said on sale 17.99, if any of you want to get it before black friday madness, or try to price match the original order. For me they gave me 5 dollars back

[BLMN]

part 1 is sold out on my local best buy. bought part 2 and ordered part 1 online.

[meloveHD]

Haven't seen this mentioned yet...

I have the 3d version and started off watching in 3d but halfway through decided to switch to the 2d disc because honestly I found the 3d disappointing, anyway while watching the 3d disc my receiver display read "dst-hd ma" but while watching the 2d disc only read "straight". I didn't see any options for audio format in the discs menu, so does the 2d bluray that's included not have dts-hd ma?? or even regular dolby??

I called first thing Sunday morning and they price matched my order in-store pickup order and credited me back $5 plus tax.

I watched both 3D movies over the weekend. I was hoping all that I was hearing about the first movie wasn't true but I have to say I was pretty disappointed. I saw a little depth here and there but it was far from the quality in the 2nd part. The sound was absolutely fantastic on our system though (for both movies). I'm sure next time I watch it, I'll still watch it in 3D but more because I spent $22.99 on it after already getting the Best Buy Exclusive 2D version a few months ago.

Don't expect a lot with part1 and 2 of harry potter, best to watch it in 2d, no 3d pop outs to mention and even the 3d depth was not all that great, watched about 30 minutes of part 1 in 3d and took it out and watched it in 2d, waste of money in my opinion.

We were expecting a quality 3D release and we didn't get one. The depth is extremely minimal, if at all, and the picture looks terrible. There's a reason 99% of the people who watch it are really disappointed in it...and it's not because it has "nice depth".

And why would I go to a theater for "pop out"? The Home 3D releases mimic exactly that of the theatrical release. You could have said "if you want pop out, get My Bloody Valentine, Step Up 3D, Hubble 3D, Beauty and the Beast, Final Destination, ad nauseum.

I watched Part 2 in 3D last night and it was an awesome experience. The 3D was very emersive. When

[Show spoiler]Voldemort dies, his ashes literally looked like they were floating in my living room

. That how awesome.

Just checked that site and found that Nate Boss did the 3D review. According to the equipment listed, he viewed part 2 in 3D on:
- Panasonic Viera TC-46PGT24 46" Plasma 1080P 3D HDTV
- Panasonic DMP-BDT300

I have the same model TV and the BD player in my bedroom. I can understand why Mr. Boss gave part 2 such a bad review

I've personally now have seen the movie on 3 different displays and fortunately I now know the movie on-the-disc can look as good as it did at the 3D theater showing I went to. Others mile may vary.

See comments about it in my post #277 .

Well there is the problem right there, dont trust his reviews, he has been wrong to many times.

you had better luck than me; I had applied a $5 reward zone certificate when I purchased part I and so when I called I was told that they could only price match to what I ended up paying rather than what I would have paid if I hadn't used the certificate - which doesn't make any sense.

Guys, please... I'm going to the US this december and wanted to get both HP 3D from BestBuy. I just saw on their website that Part 1 isn't available for store pick-up... it's an on-line exclusive now? Or is it still available on stores? Thanks!
