wow....15 disc in a week! I also do not buy many discs, but I do maybe 8-12 Neflix discs depending on how busy I am. But some discs I do buy. For example

1) Princess Bride (just released yesterday on BD!!!)
2) Transformers (on HD)
3) Matrix (on HD)
4) Star Trek (Original) on HD and BD.

And I'll probably buy Tropic Thunder. That movie just cracked me up!

Did you mean 4 or 5, or is 45 the "not many" you mention?

Actually it's 46, just received Akira today.

46 is a big collection compared to my 7.

Oh yeah? 7 is huge compared to my 0.

But yeah, I can't wait for the Oppo, all this watching has to be taking its toll on my PS3, which is a 60gig model that I want to preserve because I have a "small" collection of PS2 games which I want to continue to be able to play.

Although there are some rumors of a reduced price Oppo Blu-ray player which will be basically the same as the 83, but without the analog audio board. That would be idea for me, because I have no plans to ever hook that part of the player up.

That would be nice. I also don't need the analog outputs. Of course, whether or not I'm patient enough to wait for the cheaper version is another question. Like you, I also have one of the launch 60 gig models of the PS3, but I'm not really concerned about preserving it after getting the Oppo. I don't have any PS2 games, and I'll be listening to SACDs on the Oppo.

Jack, I would love to here what you think of Pinocchio, I bought the remastered version of Sleeping Beauty and thought they did a fabulous job. I pre-ordered Bolt since I read it was a pretty good family flick.

Watched Pinocchio last night with my granddaughter and I thought the PQ was fantastic. The picture was very sharp and the colors really popped off the screen.I think the DTS-HD audio was as good as your going to get it, based on the original track. It even kept the attention of an active 6 month old and that is not easy to do.

Will be happy to let you know when I watch it.


That's about what I'm expecting - stellar vid; best possible 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio (48 kHz/24-bit) surround from an old mono soundtrack.

Delighted to hear it hypnotized your 6 month old.

Recently, The Wizard of Oz was shown on TV. My nephew reported that his 2 year old walked into the room and froze, standing up, and didn't move a muscle for the entire movie, except to dance around to "We're Off To See The Wizard." It's comforting to know that some sort of continuum exists between many generations; that things that delighted us as children can still delight children today.
