Guess you are also a Blue Ray "Fan" Jamie

Might buy the DVD version, more cheaper...and for my non HD TV...I think its the best option.

That would only be true if resolution was the only advantage that films on Blu-ray have over films on DVD. Fortunately that is not the case... and interestingly enough, the MSRP for the 3-disc Blu-ray edition is only $1 more than the 2-disc DVD edition... go figure.

Not to mention the exclusive upcoming BD-Live features for the Blu-ray version:

Warner Reveals 'Dark Knight' Blu-ray BD-Live Features
Posted on Wed Dec 03, 2008 at 01:00 PM ET on HighDefDigest

With 'The Dark Knight' only days away from Blu-ray release, Warner has revealed the final list of BD-Live features which are set to include the ability to record your own video commentary and other additional exclusives.

Leading the just-confirmed roster of BD-Live functions is "My WB Commentary," which allows users with a webcam to record their own video commentary that can be shared online with others. The track will play as a picture-in-picture track while your friends watch the film. (Bonus View-compatible player required.)

Other features include "My Community Screening," which facilitates real-time multiple viewing of the film via BD-Live. Users can chat during playback, connect to community showings our send out invitations for their own screenings.

Additional web-driven features on 'The Dark Knight' include an online destination where you can shop the WB Store, download trailers of other Warner Blu-ray releases, create your own wishlist of upcoming WB Blu-ray titles, and even create a database listing for your current high-def library.

Warner also says it is planning to host a "My Community Screening" with director Christopher Nolan where viewers can partake in a Q&A with the filmmaker. (There is no confirmed event date, but we'll keep you posted.)

'The Dark Knight' will hit stores on Blu-ray December 9 in standard two-disc (MSRP $35.99) and collectible Limited Edition ($64.99) versions.

Seems like a no brainer... at least for those with a Blu-ray player, especially one like a PS3 that supports BD-Live Profile 2.0, with a secondary video decoder (for PiP), secondary audio decoder, hard drive, and internet connection. 👍

However, even without a full featured Blu-ray player, and without a HDTV, there are still advantages that Blu-ray have over DVD, like Lossless HD Audio, cleaner image quality due to bit rates nearly four times greater than on DVD, often given higher quality transfer treatments, exclusive features, much better disc coating protection... and in this case they throw in a Digital Copy edition of the film as well.

That said, I will still occasionally buy a DVD if it's heavily discounted.

Wow, I can't wait to see Assy McGee in PIP whenever Batman is talking.

Nice! Just got a 10lb bag of the same stuff! Got a killer deal, $55 for 10 lbs. Should last a couple months. 👍

Cool. I might get a tub soon too. I'm going to start lifting so I can be fit by my 20th birthday. What are your favorite flavors? I'll definitely get the variety pack first... might even try that NitroCore 24 stuff of theirs.

Please tell me where

One of my workout partners knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy.

Do arm inches count as percentage points off normal price?

 

[Azuremen]

Both should be here soon.

 

[mcsqueegy]

Things I grabbed today:

 

[Bram Turismo]

Presents for my girlfriend for Christmas:

And some red towels with a hart on it, and on the other one "Merry Christmas" 👍


As for me:

Mine came in a "Christmaspackage" with a deodorant, lovely smell 👍

 

[Sureboss]

Been listening to Contraband so much, thought I couldn't go wrong with Album #2.

Different version, £3.99 from Play.

 

[raz_10]

just got the RANT yesterday (mine is black and blue)

 

[McLaren]

Not a bad album. Some songs don't grab me like Contraband, but I love 'em both.

If your looking for something good I would recomend muscle milk. It does the same thing basically but has a bunch of flavors like cookies and cream, strawberry banana, and simple flavors like chocolate and vanilla. I hear it tastes reall good to. My brother and I take stuff before we lift that helps you get a better work out and see results quicker, all without using steroids:tup:. They are Nitric Oxide somethings, I forget what it is exactly. I use naNo Vapor and my brother uses Super Pump. I recomend them both, if you guys have any questions about them or other supplement questions, just ask.

Not really a latest purchase but I received my college ring today, 10KYG with a black onyx in the centre of it. The one side has "archaeology" on it with tools and the other side is the schools logo. It was quite expensive but worth it, I've always wanted an awesome ring and now I have one.

 

[TB]

Six pack of Mike's Light Hard Lemonade.

Not nearly as good as it's full-calorie brother, but not bad.

 

[Klostrophobic]

And of course I have it delivered and I have the same name as my father, so my mother opens it thinking the mail is my dad's and she sees her christmas present. And then pretends like she didn't see it, which is always funny.

Plus I got my sisters those North Face jackets that every girl aged 12-26 has.

I don't get the appeal. They make better jackets.

 

[exigeracer]

I've been on the verge of getting me a pair for a couple months now. If Santa doesn't pull through I'm dropping in on a pair.

 

[Revheadnz]

After seeing Keefs purchases of these I decided I needed to get my hands on some as they are awesome. Made and flown halfway round the world in two weeks. Top stuff, highly recommend enthusiastapparel.com

 

[Bram Turismo]

They're pretty tough on the heels at first, so if you're getting a pair, shift between pairs for a few days to get used to them Adidas shoes. If you'll be wearing them for several days straight right out of the box, ouch!

 

[FoolKiller]

Ugh, floor polish.

 

[JacoJa]

I've always loved Pokemon games on Gameboys (and other hand-helds). It's an addiction I had growing up. I also have Diamond, which is a pretty awesome game, IMO. I'd also love to see a gold/silver remake soon, too. 👍

Awesome, have fun with it ofcourse I'm jealous. Just wondering, how much did it cost? 👍

Quite a lot cheaper then what it was worth stright out of the factory - around the $55,000 mark. $17,000 off

Don't think so, a small guy that works out with us got the same price.

So if you know someone that works at GNC, you might be able to find a similar deal.

 

[Sprite]

Saw this and had to pick it up.

BBC Topgear 3D card versions of the Amphibious cars they made. You have to pop each one out and stick it together but thats cool. Only a fiver too.

 

[Wenders]

This might encourage Jack to venture out of his room once in a while.

Samsung Series 5 46inch LCD. Was looking at a 40 inch that the store had at a really good price but in the few days it took to make up my mind they had run out of stock.

 

[Eric.]

Better put that near the dishwasher, Wenders.

DARN, you had to go buy the larger one instead! What I wouldn't give for something like that in my room.

No one will complain at an extra 6 inches.

Is GTP the preferred method of communication these days?

Nice TV

 

[Hyper-Dan]

Its not very exiciting, but my car was pleased with her present.

Nice TV

Internet has been preferred method of communication for some years.

I do use the GTP messaging system to leave important messages, that way I know he will get it.

 

[peeweegary]

wootwoot

 

[Eric.]

Got the GTP sticker on the Civic today, despite receiving it last week. Photos over here.

 

[Casio]

Not strictly my purchase but I took delivery and installed a few of these for my workplace today. I thought a few of you might like it.

2 x 3Ghz Xeon Processor, 4GB Ram, 8800GT....I should really try to start Folding on them.

 

[Danster]

The Freezer broke down! just as we're going to buy the turkey!! so we bought this heap of crap which blocks my backdoor
