[QUOTE="TimothyB"]I might have come from the AVS forums, they keep track of that stuff.

I always cringe when people on this forum say what they first bought for Blu-ray because it always seems to be Fifth Element and House of Flying Daggers, and you see where those are on this list.

A re-release of the Fifth Element has already been confirmed by paidgeed at avsforum.com. (paidgeek is a Sony BD Insider) 

They are even going to have an exchange program for current owners.

[QUOTE="InfamousM"]I checked jr.com where they had the 399 preorder deal and they are no longer taking preorders on it. I still might get one. I almost bought a $700 Denon that didn't have the specs that this Onkyo has. InfamousM

How did you know the pre-order special was at Jr? Anyway check the Onkyo 2007 thread at avsforum.com

Hopefully i can afford one by the end of the year, maybe even the TXNR905 with 4 HDMI Inputs, and 2 Outputs

I did a google search of "tx-sr605" and 90% of the results were deal sites talking about the jr.com pre-order deal. clicked on one of the links to jr.com to try and preorder and I couldn't even find a reference of it on their site.

That's a nice reciever you mentioned there. Too costly for me though :P

Yeah,  it's too costly for me too right now.... =( 

Hello Guys/Gals

I cant belive how disappointed i am with Blu-Ray. Has anyone seen stargate.....BRUTAL !!!...Go to the Scene were Ra is waring his head piece and takes it off.If you have a high Def TV , you'll know what im talking about. Casino Royal looked good about 95% of the time but still there were parts that looked a little bit to grainy for me. Happy Feet was amazing but other then that all 6 of my movies didnt really impress me besides Happy Feet. I even called sony to ask whatl is wrong with my machine. There response was that its not the Blu-Ray that infact that its showing exactly what the camera was shooting.So let me get this straight , its not the Blu-Ray but the way they are filming?? I guess it makes sense.

Here's my setup. I have a KDL-40V2500 ..HDMI 1.20a .Resalution 1920X1080 P. My cable is a Monster h400 HDMI 1.20a .

Is anyone noticeing the same issues ???

Im sure there are going to be a handful of fan boys out there that might not like me posting about the Blu-Ray being sub par.Im not trying to bash the PS3 or Blu-Ray...The bottom line is..if you dont reconize these issues then sony wont spend there money creating firmware up dates to fix it. All issues should be reconized and handled respectfully. I want the PS3 and Blu-Ray to be the most sought after product on the market. The more support we give it to help fix and better the product the more machines will be sold. this in turn will intice companys to start making more games for the PS3 and movies. Eidos would be a perfect example of what im talking about.

Errr,  if you know the answer to why it's grainy why are you bit***** and moaning?

For example,  the movie 300 is very grainy 

I checked jr.com where they had the 399 preorder deal and they are no longer taking preorders on it.  I still might get one.  I almost bought a $700 Denon that didn't have the specs that this Onkyo has.  InfamousM

HDMI 1.3!

TrueHD Decoders

DTS-HD Master Audio Decoders!

7.1 Multichannel Inputs

HDMI Upconversion (meaning you connect all your inputs (PS3, 360, Wii, CableBox) to the receiver,  and the receiver only needs to be connected via one HDMI cable to the HDTV

Not bad at all for $399 if you preorder!  

Anyone want to buy my 604? 

[QUOTE="black_awpN1"]Hey, why dont you create a petition!trollop_scat

Hey, why don't you go sit on a fire cone naked, ______

You know you're getting in trouble for that right? 

[QUOTE="m3Boarder32"]That's supposed to be 100% confirmation?? :lol:

100% is when Rockstar or Sony confirm DLC for the PS3 version, not Eurogamer citing unnamed sources...

I know right...But hey,  at least we ended this thread.
