Yeah, that price was too good. I had it pre-ordered at full price somewhere else, but ended up cancelling as I decided I didn't really want/need it. Then I saw this price, and thought "fuck it".
The packaging is pretty damn fantastic. Easily the nicest BluRay box I've seen. Nowhere near as good as the DVD EE's but, really, what is?
Yeah, the box is amazingly good quality. I'm a tad disappointed that he Digital Copies included in the US set were the download type, but I guess it'd be an 18-disc set if they went the disc method, so I suppose it's OK. Still, I'm glad my Uni quota is unlimited. Downloaded all 10GB yesterday :/.

I was sold on the original VAT-inclusive price, but as I was going through the checkout I remembered that it'd be deducted. ~$56 total, golfham.
I haven't seen the films since their respective theatrical runs. Can't wait.
Edit: And my book just arrived! What a glorious day.

Agreed. Get Win7 running on that thing ASAPVOOK said:
I'm still alive. Moving house to Warrnambool tomorrow though. Yay.
Also tried to work out adsl2 but all the companies I called had Indian operators so I still couldn't work out what I should do. Need to get a phoneline as well as adsl. Sucks. Power is on though!
That new melee FPS that was in the new game informer looks cool. Art director of Half Life 2 + Harvey Smith from Deus Ex and Thief equals must buy

Vista hate always baffles me. I never had a single issue in the couple years I had it on my laptop before moving on to 7 and would have moved it over to my desktop if it wasn't such an old shitbox.

I hate hoons. More strict laws would be great in my opinion. Driving is a privilege not a right.
Also you guys like that Firefly show? Pre-order the blu-ray at Amazon for $28, although it doesn't release until September. Never been a fan, especially of Fillion.

What about Dr. Horrible? It was good.

Everything but Fillion was fantastic. He was merely pretty good. A Dr. Horrible mini-series would be so damn entertaining, in a Pinky & The Brain kind of way.roosters93 said:
I like Fillon, but in the meaty faux-superhero stakes, you can't beat Patrick Warburton (who I only just realised sounds WAY too much like Randy Savage).

The concern I have is didn't Whedon say that to cut costs (and they had a whole lot of costs to cut to make Fox happy) they rendered all the CG in barely SD acceptable standards? Did they re-render everything for the blu-ray or is it glorific HD assness?reptilescorpio said:

I gotta say, whether SD or HD, if you like the show just get it. I've been watching the HD Star Trek remasters and though the exterior shots in HD CGI look great, they already look dated.Planet_JASE said:

Shipping refused for SE215s. 
Time to look elsewhere, locally I guess. Or for something else. Hate manufacturers that force regional price fixing.

This place is good, used them a few times
Edit: hmm looks like you'd be paying 30 bucks more which kinda sucks.

Yeah, not impressed that it's a 40% mark up (I checked there the other day). Looks like they're doing it simply to enforce regional pricing as most AU sites are the same. I hate that and am rethinking whether to get something from someone else.commanderdeek said:http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=523

Clipper, download copies are probably better; my Terminator 2 EE DVD would never play the on-disc WMA HD version and a year or two ago they stopped the license server altogether, so it's totally worthless now.

I have the Region A Firefly Blueray from the US (Its on of the few Fox Blurays that's not region locked). It's mostly good with the CG being upscaled pretty decently for the most part. However, there's maybe one shot in every episode that stands out looking awful- mostly bluescreen shots of people standing in front of a big viewing screen or spaceship window, that looks aliased to fuck
For the most part its Firefly in HD. You'll notice how cheaply the show was made for compared to some more popular shows (as in network ratings in 2002, not nerds in 2011) a little more in HD. Some sets really do not stand up well to HD scrutiny.

Then again, even the LOTR EE are guilty of occasionally having terrible looking scenes (about 10 mins into ROTK with Merry and Pippin, for example).ClivePwned said:
