Small review from the news editor of Blu-Ray.com: "Well, I watched the Blu-ray last night, and let me say, it looks amazing (as if there was any doubt Disney would pull off another great release). I watch it using the 7.1 soundtrack (vice the original mono soundtrack), and the fidelity was ama...

Is there anyone here that's disappointed about the aspect ratio of the movie ? I mean I do realise that it is impossible to present a movie like that into fullscreen without Pan and scan, but it still pisses me off when I see how small everything looks and the blackbars, God I hate blackbars. .

Disney's like George Lucas. Forget the purists, just cater to the "ooh shiny!" crowd. >_< Then they'll come out with a "fully restored" edition, just to release another restoration a few years later </Cinderella>. It's insane. So re-releasing Sleeping Beauty in an aspect ratio t...

It's still being up-mixed quite a bit... 6 channels to 7.1 (which is basically 8, just that one of them is only bass) is duplicating them to more than originally created. I highly doubt they just took the 4 and duplicated them to make 8... why not just keep it 4.0 then? They definitely REDID it, mo...

Yeah, but it didn't have 7.1 channels originally. Where do you think the other channels came from? Point being, their upmixed audio versions generally suck. And I was saying earlier, Disney rigs it so the "restored original soundtrack" always sounds worse than the DEHT... it's probably so...

Re: Sleeping Beauty & Grand Canyon: BD versus DVD screen

Anyone who isn't sight challenged can obviously see, there is just no comparison between the BD and DVD releases. The resolution of the BDs is far superior. And yet we'll likely get someone coming in and saying, "The Bluray sucks, look how duller it is compared to the brightness of the DVD!&qu...

The 20GB PS3 (NTSC) is backwards compatible with PS1 games and PS2 games through hardware. The 40GB PS3 is only backwards compatible with PS1 games.

As far as I know, the only one not compatible with PS2 games (or SACD playback for that matter) is the 40GB model. :)

So really if the player will decode and pass all the audio formats though the analog outputs there really isn't a need in using both analog and digital? Or would the digital output provide a better sound for the legacy audio formats? Well, which one sounds better at decoding the legacy formats is r...

Re: Blu-ray player audio... How to hook up?

The player will decode the legacy codecs and output them from the anaologue outputs. Alternatively, you can use both a set of analogue cables and a digital cable if you like and just use the player to decode the lossless codecs and switch your A/V receiver back to its digital input and allow the re...

Re: Blu-ray player audio... How to hook up?

I was looking at some information on Blu-rays tonight and finally got to thinking about audio hookups. If you have a Blu-ray standalone player with 5.1 analog audio output, and a receiver with the 5.1 inputs all sites that I've looked at say to use these to get lossless audio from the Blu-rays. Wha...
