has anyone seen this movie using the ps3 blu-ray player?
i thought i read somewhere that it's probably one of the best looking movies avail. at the moment in HD (50gb)...and that it has a very good transfer to compliment high def. viewing & sound.

before i buy it i would like to know if this is true and indeed a recommendable purchase?
it's $34.99 at my local bestbuy :shock: but if it's worth it i'll buy it!

btw, i have a sony rear pro. LCD hdtv with 480p, 720p & 1080i capability...and i'm sure 1080p has the better display but can anyone comment on the movie with a simular set up?

*i'm not accumilating a collection of blu-ray or hd dvd movies until there's a definate decision...but i'd like to have atleast 1 or 2 in the mean time (standard dvd's are still good enough imo until then)!

thanks

Right now the highest rated Bluray film is The Pristege, it got a 5 star rating for video, I believe Kingdom of Heaven got a 41/2. I recently bought Black Rain which scored a 41/2 for visual and it looks good not great but good. So expect the same. If you want the best HD visual get The Pristege

I dont think any movie is worth $35.  Maybe go rent it?

Some movies are worth it, if you are going to watch it multiple times.

I watched K.O.H one time and really enjoyed it, but will not watch it for awhile. It is over 3 hours long.
I mainly bought it for showing off my PS3 Blu-ray player.

thanks for the replies...i was just checking out some more opinions & suggestions at the ps3 forum on the subject:

http://www.ps3forums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=87

looks like Kingdom of Heaven, Prestige, the Departed, Ice Age MD, Crank, BlackHawk Down and several others are highly recommendable with good video transfer & good sound!

i'm going with the Kingdom of Heaven & the true 5.1 DTS pure sound...but 3hrs is quite long  :shock:  maybe that's why it says 50gb on the back of the package?

thanks again

I have Kingdom of Heaven along with several others. In my opinion Corpse Bride looks the best. Maybe because they are puppets, they look absolutely real.

Kingdom of Heaven is a good reference disk for audio and video.  It's exciting to think that the audio can actually get better!  With the PS3 and HDMI what your hearing is DTS-HD,  but after the march update we'll be getting DTS-HD Master Audio which sounds even better.

DTS-HD is lossy audio.

Too bad hardly anyone has a receiver that can decode DTS-HD. I wish mine could. DTS still sounds really awesome though.

The receiver does not do the decoding the player does :|

And after the March update PS3 will be able to decode DTS-HD MA, it already decodes TrueHD from Dolby.
