I'm planning to go to the 24hr Walmart close by before I go to work tomorrow.But a couple of days ago I called and asked if I could go ahead and purchase it pass 12 and they said that they can't sell it till 7am.I said, what do you mean.22nd is the 22nd and that's pass midnight.I was kinda mad about it.All they need to do is get the movie at the back of the store.How hard is that.Regardless, I will still go in case someone nice enough will be willing to get the movie for me at the back of their store.Will bring my Target ad too for the price match.Fingers crossed.

I just hope it plays on my Sony S550 (latest firmware).

It will work don't worry,Up till now SONY,PIONEER,Panasonic,PS3 and Some of Samsung including LG players are working perfect with AVATAR.

For Pioneer users go and download firmware update from the UK site.

Panasonic and Sony no problem so far up till now,

You still need to tell me who your avatar is and do you have a bigger picture?

Im at work and I just made a flash file this morning that says it was made 2 months ago. Why? The calendar is screwed up on this machine, I cant fix it. I see this all the time. Dates on digital files often are not accurate.

gaeljet · 04-21-2010, 04:36 PM

just go and see other reviews on this site or other french ones, they never end up uploading only three captures

In a nutshell, Hes saying it has new encryption and cant be ripped yet to grab screenshots.(This is the way most screengrab scientists work)

The screenshots in this French Review

Ive never seen some of them as promotional stills

Are they actually from the Blu-Ray, despite only being smaller thumbnails?

The colors look AMAZING

Seems like this isn't going lower than $19.99. Might as well get it with Fight Club from Amy.

Borders will be selling it for $17.99. I got an email from them about it.

no they aren't, they say they have a few technical issues and that it should be okay soon(but the probleme is that thay they posted the review several days ago and still nothing lol)
http://www.hdnumerique.com/actualite...pressions.html
posted their first impressions(perfect of course)
they should post their review pretty soon, but perhaps only tomorrow(they usually add some 1280 screenshots , but i don't know if they're gonna be able to do it with this movie since there is a protection)

Wow! I gotta check my email!

Scratch that! Just checked it sez $17.99 for the dvd.

If they use a hardware capture method like this site does it should be possible to get frame grabs. BD+ just makes the files unreadable by unauthorized computer software.
