sir firewired any news on the boxes? will they replace them?

firewired · « **Reply #601 on:** Jul 20, 2007 at 12:08 PM »

I called but no word yet. They'll get back to me as soon as they hear from the higher-ups. Problem is that the sets were imports so they don't actually have spare boxes on hand.

techdude · « **Reply #602 on:** Jul 20, 2007 at 12:38 PM »

Even if they want to, I doubt Warner could replace those boxes. As stated by Firewired, they are imported, and I doubt there will be spares, especially that piracy is rampant in these parts, they wouldn't print extras.

Past problems with labels like the Batman and The Departed (Scorsese on Scorsese) one were not rectified, so I doubt it will be this time.

Damages due to S/H are unfortunate but they were there when it was sold, there's presumption that it was bought with full knowledge of the damage.

Still, if Warner could replace them, It would be for the best... just don't hold your hopes up too much...

i hope they could do something like a "mail in" replacement. just like what universal did with the r1 BTTF dvd.

Hi just wanna ask if the P599 is also the same with all versions of 300? I mean, hindi ba budget dvd yung P599 na DVD5 lang? Lahat ba ng features kasama din dito? Kasi I'm just after the movie and yung magandang PQ and AQ. T.I.A.

allanmandy · « **Reply #607 on:** Jul 23, 2007 at 02:49 PM »

Yeah it is the same. It only doesn't have the booklet and a slipcase, that's why it's cheaper.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the steelbook and giftset is available only in Manila? I went to Astro and Odyssey SM Baguio yesterday and I only found the P599 and P750 versions. I asked one sales staff of Astro kung merun sila steelbook and she said "San po kayo nakakita nun?"

frootloops · « **Reply #609 on:** Jul 23, 2007 at 09:01 PM »

Yes munky, only available in MNL. You can even hear that same comment on some A/V store here who are not aware of the giftset.

techdude · « **Reply #610 on:** Jul 23, 2007 at 09:06 PM »

Or get the Steelbook at PinoyDVD.biz... free shipping naman up to July 30th...

Here's what DVD Movie Guide had to say about the video quality of the Region 1 version:

300 appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions. Across the board, the transfer satisfied.

Sharpness always looked good. From start to finish, I thought it appeared crisp and concise, with virtually no instances of softness to distract. The image lacked jagged edges or shimmering, and edge enhancement appeared to be absent. In terms of source flaws, the movie often looked grainy, but this occurred due to stylistic choices; the grain appeared during theatrical screenings as well and was supposed to be there. Otherwise the flick lacked any defects.

Another stylistic choice affected the colors of 300. Essentially, the movie came devoid of most hues, as it often favored either a mild golden tint or a chilly blue tone. Occasionally I saw slightly warmer colors like some rich reds, but those were rare. Within the film’s design, the hues looked solid. Blacks were deep and dense, while shadows seemed clear and smooth. This was a solid visual presentation.

Thanks to jackdejesus for the original link.

Yes tama itong review, got my bluray na 2day..... ang layo ng r3. barely noticable na yung mga grains, very crisp and ang ganda talaga ng depth sa bluray.

I was at Astro Megamall knina. They still have lots of steelcases. In fact ubos n ung regular at ung slipcased. Steelcases n lng naiwan.

I promised the sales staff of Astro Megamall that i'm gonna post here that they still have steelcase versions of 300. The regular and slipcased are sold out.

Note: Message edited.

I'm sorry if there are problems in my posts. I sometimes use mobile phones to access the forum and post messages and sometimes there are problems in posting.

He's probably seeing the "Daily quota exceeded" error. We really have to disable notifications.

Hmmm...baka by Christmas those steelcases could be the only ones left on SALE for 299 or 350.

ranran · « **Reply #618 on:** Jul 31, 2007 at 09:01 AM »

since most of the collectors (pinoydvd members) have got a copy of the steelbook, i doubt these remaining stocks will still sell much.

just received my copy from yesasia! (KOREAN VERSION)

I always watch with subtitles and the R3 subs are accurate.

Whatever happened to the one who got suspended?
