don't think their fast shipping means that.think it's something like Amazon's expedited shipping,the item will get to the uk a little bit quicker than standard.

Every time I check Akira over at Movietyme the price has gone up! They were originally selling it for £19.99 and now it's £24.99.

And it sounds even better! The Japanese Dolby TrueHD tracks is amazing!

I take it your Amp supports 192Khz? Mine would have to decode it to 1.5Mbps DTS 96Kz.

Yup, got my Onkyo TX806 a month ago.

Cool. I'll upgrade one day but there's no point until I get my own place, having neighbours above and beyond me means I can never crank it up as high as I'd like. New TV before that.

Yeah, a Home Cinema wouldn't be viable in our flat. I'd be on an ASBO faster than you can say "turn that fuckin' racket down!!".

It better not have bloody watermarks this time!

p.s - Thanks Gas.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 07 Mar 2009, 16:16

I am still stunned people buy any film with Watermarks on it. I would rather never see the film in my entire life than sit thru such shit.

Any company releasing them needs shutting down.

Mei Ah doesn't watermark it's releases anymore.

@romerojpg
I'm glad my projector has a digital shutter feature.

Great, thanks.

Way to go though, fuck up part 1 but part 2 is fine. I've not seen either part because of this. I'm not buying a broken BD and don't want the DVD.

Does that manage to remove it?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 07 Mar 2009, 17:47

I am still waiting for it in Uk cinema!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 07 Mar 2009, 18:36

Me too. I plan to check it out in cinemas and if I like it see the Extended version.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 07 Mar 2009, 18:42

But I do not expect it to be actually in cinemas, well not more than a few limited ones, we all know they are gettig worse by the year for any non english film releases.

With the digital shutter you can black out certain areas around the picture by turning off parts of the panel. Works great on burnt-in subtitles as well.

And since the watermark only appears in the upper black bar, I don't lose away any picture information.
Of course this doesn't 'fix' the watermark issue, but at least I don't see it on my screen.

If you're so worried, you can always get the Taiwanese BD without the watermark:

Is anyone sane of mind actually going to be so distracted by a watermark appear inside the black border to have their enjoyment of the film affected in any way? How the hell do you people get on with watching TV shows!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 08 Mar 2009, 13:33

You have no choice with TV shows and besides I don't pay £18-20 a pop for those but I take your point.

Thanks for the link clueless monkey. Pity the aspect ratio is wrong.

I dont watch any TV becuase of that, and adverts.

We do not have to suffer such crap in a cinema or on a real dvd, so any pathetic company putting watermarks on any dvd is a total joke.

Really? That's loads of channels you don't watch. As to adverts, buy a Freeview+ or Sky+ box. Problem sorted.

Exactly. There's no excuse for it, especially when it does absolutely bugger all to stop piracy. People who don't pay for films really aren't going to care but those who pay £20 a pop certainly are.

Well another big reason is I cannot be bothered to wait for shows, I want the entire season/series in front of me now to watch when I want. I cannot stand waiting 6 montsh for a TV show to run its season on TV, its hell.

Toss in adverts and them idiot logos and it just makes me buy every TV/film show I watch.

The only things I watch on TV are Music and news, logo hell but hey.

Still TV looks so poor I cannot watch it anyway and no chance I would ever pay for Sky thast for sure. Freeview sucks bad and is pretty unwatcahble STILL! for me, its still like watching Lego move about.

When I get a dvd/HD I want perfection, a dumb watermark is not perfection and is an insult to anyone buying it, anyone buying it is just telling them it is fine,giving them cash is ignorant. You may as well get a pirate.
