Best products from r/Bluray

I say it's definitely worth it. Blu Ray is the best picture you're going to find in 1080p. I'm not a snob about players though, so I'd just recommend the amazon best seller.

Do you have a PS3? They also play blu rays. If you don't have one you might just go that route if you love the games.

somewhere in settings. not all players/tvs have it, generally the better ones do.

​

On my surround sound, it's in settings, but you can google it. Or, I highly recommend getting a calibration disc, goes a long way. A lot of THX movies like Indiana jones has basic one on the dvd, but this has been worth it's weight in gold for me.

Infinity War sold 3 million blurays in the U.S last year.

Vinyl is still going strong and it had it's decline far before discs did. Bluray discs last 100 years, so don't worry about them going bad. Sure they're less popular, and not selling as well as they did many years ago, but there will continue to be a collector's market for it just like vinyl.

This just means they'll be more expensive and there will be less releases, but not dead. We'll also be seeing more deluxe packaging and such as time goes on with

Even when bluray discs stop getting manufactured, this probably won't be for 2-3 decades, players will still be made. Ever see cassette tapes still get made? They really don't (with a handful o exceptions), but Walkmans are still in production and easy to obtain.

Embrace your weirdness. Let them enjoy their buffering compressed streams. :)

Blade Runner! The original five-disc collection is easily the best blu-ray I've ever purchased. There's a new 30th anniversary edition out, but I don't think it has all of the same bonus materials:

The unit is linked below, it was incredibly easy to assemble and I'm very pleased with it. If I had the space I would definitely get another for VHS and video games.

I order them from here, however it seems like they send a different brand every time I order, the first batch I got were OKER brand and those are the best ones with resealable tape on the edge of the flap, the other ones they send require you to tape them closed yourself since the resealable flap is more towards the middle of the flap and doesn’t work well with Blu-rays.

How dare you say "Blue-Ray" in this subreddit?
Heresy!
 
I have this one, and it works great. You won't be able to play UHD Blu Rays (4k) of course.

can you take a look a this? BOOGIE NIGHTS

The multi format is cheaper and here are the stats

Format: Multiple Formats, Blu-ray, Color, Dolby, Subtitled, Widescreen

There's not even a dvd (I only care for Bluray) So is this equal or better than just bluray?

I just bought the 6 disc today. i was looking at the Anthology and while it has superior packaging, there are multiple printings apparently and some don’t have the special features disc, and no Alien covenant or digitals.

Also researching it i gleaned that

The 6 disc comes with both directors/theatrical cuts of the first 3 films, and digital codes for all 6,
Bad news is that it doesn’t have all the special features of the disc.
Good news is that if you used the codes on the movies anywhere service you get access to to digital special feats.

"For each movie they have 5 discs (2 movie blu ray discs, 2 extra feature DVDs and 1 behind the scene DVD)."

Yeah, looks like those 2 movie BDs are the theatrical & extended.

It seems like that's the only option (I'm only looking in Amazon) which contains the extended blu ray versions.

Cheapest option ($54): http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ol/B0026L7H20/ref=mw_dp_olp?ie=UTF8&condition=all

The "regular" US version of The Shining is 144 minutes.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UJ48WC

If you're looking for the cut with the extra 2 minutes at the end (146 total), to the best of my knowledge I don't think that's been released.

When released theatrically in the United States, the film ran approx. 146 minutes. Three days after the release of the film, Stanley Kubrick and Warner Bros. ordered all projectionists to cut about 2 minutes from the end of the film, and send the footage back to the studio. Starting after the closeup of frozen Jack, the camera goes to a pullback shot with part of a state trooper's car and the legs of troopers walking around in the foreground. We then cut to the hotel manager Stuart Ullman (Barry Nelson) walking down a hospital hallway to the nurse's station to inquire about Danny and Wendy. He's told they're both doing well and proceeds to Wendy's room. After some gentle conversation, he tells Wendy that searchers have been unable to locate any evidence of the apparitions she saw. Additionally, Jack's body cannot be located. We then cut to the camera silently roaming the halls of the Overlook Hotel for about a minute until it comes up to the wall with the photographs, where it [back to the ending as it is now known] fades in on the photo of Jack in the 1921 picture.

you should get vol 1 as well! Some good films in there.

What do you feel about this tv?

I love it lol just wanted your opinion. Mostly got it because I wanted the 3d as well.

I don't really want to buy stuff from ebay. And I don't really know what PAL/SECAM refresh rates are. Would it be better to spend a little more and get this or something like this... http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-BD-F5100-Upgraded-Region-Player/dp/B00GSZ5ISK/ref=sr_1_2?s=tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1410907550&sr=1-2

Just get some of these, approximately $ .50 per case. They are nearly identical to the cases which Sony uses... IMO the best cases.
