Valkyr Junkie said:Is that the MGS4 art book that was just released?
KanZolo said:how much/ where did u get the Ga-ko clock
Liquidus said:Yeah. It's pretty good. It has some nice concept art for Raiden and his evolution to what he was in MGS4. Sunny has some cool concept art as well and they have a few unused characters like "Snake-Man".
The phone strap is really old but I got it for free when I bought another Ga-Ko alarm clock. They usually go for about $15-$20 on ebay/Yahoo Japan.

"Utterly disappointing" is the only phrase that comes to mind at the moment. This Blu-ray edition of '28 Days Later' arrives with a hazy 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 transfer that's only a meager step up from the already-problematic DVD. In fact, I found the finalized image incredibly similar to the upscaled DVD presentation.
Where to start? The entire transfer is soft and host to the murkiest backgrounds I've yet to experience on either high-definition format. Actors are blurry, textures are indistinct, and fine details are frequently obscured by video noise. Shaky colors and wavering contrast combine to create a painful, two-dimensional picture -- one that is further flattened by the consistent presence of intrusive artifacts. Even worse, most shots suffer from edge halos, quick pans tend to pixelate the image, and cityscapes are smeared and shifty. Detail is the tiniest bit sharper than the DVD, but it's a minor improvement that's an inherent product of the increased resolution.
To be fair, I wasn't expecting to be blown away by the video on this release. The majority of the film was shot using a European model Canon XL-1s standard-definition camcorder at 720x576 resolution (thanks to Grubert for the info), a decision on the part of the filmmakers to give the film a rough-around-the-edges visual style. As such, its unrealistic to expect that '28 Days Later' would look as sharp as other high-def releases. I did, however, hope to see at least some benefit from this Blu-ray transfer.
While an argument can (and Im sure, will) be made for Boyle's directorial intentions, in my book it can't justify a higher video score for this one. It would simply be irresponsible to rate this transfer at the same level as other, better looking, high-def releases.
Couldn't it look worse than a properly upscaled DVD though?Jtwo said:It's not going to look worse than the DVD.
Honestly I haven't seen it on BRD, but the movie looks crappy. That's how it's supposed to look.HUELEN10 said:Couldn't it look worse than a properly upscaled DVD though?

That is one insanely good-looking watch. Too bad I won't ever be able to afford something of that kind.AlfaTrion said:

I thought about buying one over the holidays, but I'm sure there will be more 3rd-party SNES portables in the future so I can wait. Also, I'm waiting to see if Messiah releases something like a Generation NEX for SNES games.
