Its been under $10 for almost a week now, so not too sure how much longer it will stay at this price point. It does include a Digital Copy (Which is nice).

I stayed glued to the screen and took only one very quick break during the Hour and Forty-Two Minute Run Time.

Great info, thanks Todd!

[Show spoiler]I never keep/use the Digital copies, usually sell them or see if anyone wants them for their PC or whatnot.

All is going well,my Friend.

I love when a movie I like is released by Lionsgate.Almost every title they release has either a 6.1 or 7.1 surround sound track.

Its a shame more companies dont take advantage of a 6 or 7 channel set-up.

Good morning Todd, if your movies are not released with a 7.1 soundtrack, do you not Matrix your movies using the Dolby Pro Logic llx setting on your receiver?

I do not matrix my blu's...I play whatever the intended track may be....5.1, 6.1 or 7.2 myself. I do matrix TV when I watch a movie or sports.

Good morning Todd,
Hope your day is great

Howdy Todd,

Finally got around to listening to my Dire Straights SACD. Wow!!! I have listened to Brothers in Arms many times on my iPod, never had the CD. This is the first time I heard Brothers in Arms. Can totally understand why it is one of the top selling SACDs, if not the #1.

How are you doing with your SACDs?

Yeah, I'm with you John. You should just play them as intended. Why mess with the production.

Hang on a sec. I've only got 5.1!!!

Morning to you Todd. What's on the Blu agenda for the day?

Hey Chris,my Friend.I hope you are having a Wonderful Start to your Tuesday.

As far as Surround tracks and matrixing(That is something I dont do).I always listen to the track as it was recorded for the Blu-Ray.So if its a 5.1 Dolby TRUE HD track, Five channels is all that is active.

Also my AVR has a huge number of DSP Settings(to enhance the listening experience).And also has an Equalizer with more settings then I can even understand.

So I just run everything thru the processor as it was intended(with no enhancements).
Thats one reason why I didn't mind going from a 7.1 channel system to a 6.1 channel system(when I went to all Paradigm speakers).

Though last year I did spend a couple of months using the Front Height(AKA Front Presence)Speakers,when I had an all Polk Audio Speaker Set-up.

I really liked how certain movies sounded with the Front Height Speakers in action.But my AVR is either/or.
So I had to choose inbetween Rear Surrounds or Front Height Speakers.

And the Rear Surrounds won out over the Extra Pair of Front Speakers.

Good Evening Travis my Friend.
I hope you and your wife are having a nice Tuesday.

I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the Dire Straits SACD so much.I haven't heard any Dire Straits in ages.

I am doing well with my SACD's.I currently have Five,and enjoy them all.
I am not 100% sure what the next SACD may be(That I Purchase).

Hey Theo,my Friend.I hope you have had and enjoyed a Pleasant Tuesday.

I have already watched War Of The Worlds(The Steven Speilberg version with Tom Cruise)I started it aroun 8:45AM,this morning.
It was the first time I had seen that movie(on Blu-Ray or Standard DVD)

And I really enjoyed it.Great action with wonderful video and an Amazing Audio,Surround Track.
The Bass was utterly amazing.Very Deep and very prominent thru out the film.

Makes sense Todd, I do it sometimes for BD movies, but mostly like John for sports or TV.

Hey Todd, I forgot that you hadn't yet seen this but glad you enjoyed it & the Killer Audio (& mainly, to me anyway, the Awesome LFE!!). The film itself is pretty good too IMO & the overall Audio is incredible.

How you doin' today? I hear you might have Bluray# 2 cued up shortly?
