I have, but only 720p. There's slightly more detail to the 1080p blu-rays than say a 720p on my system... I'd guess there'd be a lot more difference on a true 1080p display. (Note that Casino Royale is not a top tier BRD simply because of all the "effects" and grain used on the film... I think CRANK for what it is worth may be one of the best BRD presentations to date (no I don't have it... but the trailer is spectacular on my system)).

Also note that 1080p is "much" better than HDTV 1080i

Is it worth it? From 40" up I'd guess...

If it had been Brad, they would have hung him by the balls.

Sure... although his are in a jar on top of his desk, reminding him of the time he could still pick up his phone without being adressed with 'miss'.

Big fat ones.

Colin did me a favour.

I missed it at first (Times that is) being honest but now not in the slightest. They did write very good reviews though, not that Colin ever contributed to that (or barely).

Not that he could ever totally ban anyone, it's not possible.

Well I decided to go ahead and get a PS3. I said I wasn't going to but I am weak. I got Casino Royale (Of course) and Broken Arrow to start. CR is absolutely perfect. This is one of the most impressive titles I've seen so far.

Is it uncut though?

captainjoe · Post by **captainjoe** » 08 May 2007, 21:31

you know what I meant.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 08 May 2007, 22:22

Then it's not perfect. 8)

Too bad you didn't think of importing a potentially uncut BD of Casino Royale from Asia, you're all in Region A afterall. Oh well, you can always Ebay your US copy.

gojensen · Post by **gojensen** » 09 May 2007, 09:18

Captain Joe is in the states then?

Both my "Region B" blu-rays are uncut... and BOTH play just fine on my Region A player.

Yup that's right. The Casino Royale BluRay disc is NOT region locked

(Note though, NONE of my CR discs feature any BBFC markings (they are two different pressed discs - one NL one AU market I think) - so you Brit folks MAY get a cut disc...

Captain Joe is in Canada.

The land of milk and maple syrup. Home to the Quebecans, French speakers who are bigger arseholes than actual Frenchmen.

I didn't know Quebecian was French... I bet there's more than 1 Frenchie that would deny that

Different dialect but still mostly the same language, similar to what Taiwanese Mandarin is to the Mainland equivalent.

Does anybody know if the Aussie BD is region free?

gojensen · Post by **gojensen** » 27 May 2007, 19:13

I think they all are...

Wait let me check... one of my BRD Casion Royale discs has the [M] aussie rating printed on the disc - so I'm guessing it's the same disc released down under and it is region free...

According to http://bluray.lindsite.dk/ both US and European versions are region free. It makes no mention of specific Asian or Aussie versions... I'm assuming you aussies get the same discs as Europe, as was "usual" with PAL DVDs coded for regions 2 and 4?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 01 Jun 2007, 19:22

Sweet thanks. The Aussie BD is the Definitive version. According to DVD Times the Aussies got a different disc to the UK as ours is cut.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 01 Jun 2007, 19:28

Still need confirmation whether the Aussie BD is region free or not. Thanks.
