| Posted: | | | | They may get some in there once American Gangster, Beowulf, and maybe Bee Movie get released. Hard to get any movies in the Top 10 when you hardly have any studio support.. | | | "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" - Douglas Bader "A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." - Douglas Adams |

| Posted: | | | | Interesting to note that the crud (Saw 4, The Game Plan, Good Luck Chuck) tends to be at the top of the top 10 and the good stuff like Superbad and Ratatouille are at the bottom. |

The Game Plan is actually quite good. Also, the "crud" as you call it should be at the top, they're the new releases. | | | Signature banned: Reason out of date... |

| Posted: | | | | Is it a good idea now that Warner have expressed there full support to blu-ray to go out and buy a player? I say this because I'm hearing bad things about having to download firmware and updates for each dvd you buy. Also if it is a good idea, do any of you recommend a certain player to get? I'm a bit bamboozaled with the whole thing. | | | MY COLLECTION

| Posted: | | | | I'm waiting for the profile 2.0 players to come out (profile 1.1 gives you the PIP feature, profile 2.0 gives you internet connectivity for downloadable extras), but if you have HDMI capabilities then you're OK with the PS3 as a Blu-Ray player---it's probably better than most of the standalones. If you're dependent on optical or coax for audio, or component for video, then the PS3 isn't the optimal solution, and the standalones aren't yet up to snuff for the various profiles other than 1.0 without costing an arm and a leg. There should be reasonably priced 2.0 players by summer. | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |

Superbad was a surprisingly good film. I would of thought it be in the top ten. |

| Posted: | | | | Doesn't have to be lossless. You're not getting any high definition sound through optical/coaxical. That means neither Dolby Digital Plus nor DTS HD can be transported directly over a toslink or s/pdif connection. | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |
