Black Sabbath Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Is FutureShop getting one? I'm hoping Best Buy gets one, along with any others of the steels I've ordered, that way I'll save a good bit of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collecting steelbooks is quite expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GET OFF AXLS BACK Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Just picked up Paul, Hot Fuzz and Shaun Of The Dead, Trading Places, The Breakfast Club.The one I and many others are waiting for is the Jaws steel.I'm mentioned a while back I got the BOB steel, seriously this thing is mind blowing, visually it is beyond brilliant and the audio is incredible. I strongly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicrawker Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) If you want a standalone player, the Oppo BDP-93 is the way to go.http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2396787,00.aspIf you don't want to shell out $500, I've heard the PS3 does a nice job with BR playback.Got my OPPO a few weeks ago so I could stream Netflix while I figure out which LED TV I want and love it !good reviews and I suggest anyone interested read it as there are links to other Bluray players from Sony, Toshiba etc for less than half the price which, while not as high end, give good performance for the money...While the sub $100 players will work the video quality will not do the bluray's justice IMHO so I would suggest paying a little more to get something with better video processing......the review gives you an idea the difference between the OPPO and the cheaper players.....some suggested players in the review include Samsung BD-D5700 or the Sony BDP-S780Other things I considered before buying the OPPO besides the superior video processing.........1. Can it do European PAL to the U.S. NTSC video format conversion so I could watch my PAL videos and bootlegs on my U.S. TV? The Oppo can and does it flawlessly but you have to be careful as the cheap player may be able to do this but if they don't have enough internal memory to support the conversion process it will end up very choppy an jerky when you watch a DVD which requires conversion. I learned this the hardway when I bought a cheap Pioneer DVD player and the conversion was almost unwatchable it was so jerky.2. Can it be converted to Region free for Bluray and DVD videos?. I don't buy lot of non region 1 DVD 's but I do have some from Japan and Europe and like the ability to buy foreign DVDs and Blurays I may be be able to get here in the States. I payed extra and got an OPPO which was converted by an aftermarket company but it is an easy conversion to do by buying a conversion board you install inside the player or outside the player using the USB port on the back with just a screw driver and for DVD's you can download a program which makes it DVD region free.

Black Sabbath Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Thanks for the link Zint, but not many interest me from amazon.ca, unfortunately. Also, after shipping, it's a bit of a killer. Hoping that Limitless steel will be $20 shipped, one day though...As for the 3D glasses I use for my TV, batman, I'm not sure what the exact model is, but they're one of the first ones that came out for the Bravias that aren't rechargable.
