I have a small 32" full hd LCD tv in the house. A found them to be quite good and very nice frames. One thing about them is black levels, best IMO over any tv brand with Sony coming a close second.

Thanks, that's good news. I have a 3D Panasonic bluray. so they should go well together. I've always wanted a Plasma.

Yep, Viera link will let you cause one remote and you can turn on the Bluray player at the same time as you turn on the tv

Hey KIWIS!

Anyone seen if the BD+DVD+Digital version of Men in Black 3 is out in NZ @ The Warehouse?

[Draeve]

Quick question guys, if I'm looking to sell a phone am I able to post a for sale thread in the trading section of the forum or is it really only for blu ray & home theatre gear?

Edit: Nevermind, sold quickly on another site

Just picked up a Samsung Galaxy S3 4G - damn it is QUICK! Great phone, and it's the reason why this ad was made

Love that ad and I am really tempted, but 4.8 inches is awfully big for a phone that you have to carry around all the time... it is bad enough having my Nokia E7 in my pocket and that is only 4inchs

[youwontknow]

Haha, that ad is awesome!

I'm using my dad's old iPhone 3G and it's still going okay. Hopefully paying out a contract for the horrible HTC Aria and getting an iPhone 5 in the next couple of weeks...

[Templar]

Anamnesis and youwontknow - yep, great ad! I used to have an iPhone and it was great, but since moving to Android i just think Apple need to stop, have a good hard look at the iPhone and say 'what can we do that'll wow the masses...and what do THEY want', more importantly. They used to wow me, not anymore though.

[Carcuss]

Off topic, but hopefully acceptable as banter. I have three songs up on http://www.triplejunearthed.com under my forum moniker as Carcuss. I'm not a great fancy singer or a dazzling widdly diddly guitarist. I'm just a strumming troubadour trying to get his music out into the world. The first song on my page is a tribute to Robert De Niro titled Hey Bob! I know he has a big fanbase here on the forum. If you like the stuff, sign in and review. If you hate it, do the same.
Back to Blu's, I have Blade Trinity. Where should i get 1 and 2? Are the local releases the same as the US/UK releases?
Cheers,
Carcuss

Wait a couple of weeks and get 1+2 from the UK. They are the new versions with nice extras.

Isn't the copy of Blade II we got here the same as the one the UK is getting?

Yeah its well known that the Dredd script by Alex Garland was leaked around the net yonks ago and Dredd was filming before the Raid got started, think it's the Raid that resembles Dredd if anything. I thought the Raid, while enjoyable, was way over praised.

Yer, the only reason I'm getting the iPhone 5 is because I have the IPad, getting a Mac mini and so it seems suitable to get a phone that can sync and connect to all. Though I really do like the Galaxy S3, it's just the "major" features likes 4G, NFC and a big screen arnt what I need or want in a phone. I'm using the S2 now which I'll sell, get a bit on the side and use the rest to pay out my contract. On another note, is Virgin offering 4g or at least the 4g model.?

Just won the Far Cry 2 Collectors edition for $10 when the buy it now price was $50...then the seller sent me a message saying it was damaged and couldn't cancel it. Co-incidence..tosser

[Greengoblin]

I was waiting for us to get resident evil 1 on blu ray but i don't think that's happening any time soon, so should i just buy them from the states or wait also, i am buying the blade trilogy from the states as they have all three they finally got 2 and i hate the logos and rating systems on the uk disks.
