Blu ray disc arrived this morning. Can't wait to see this baby in HD loveliness :D:D

I do love it when a delivery comes on a Friday.

"Presented with identical 1080p/VC-1 transfers on Blu-ray and HD DVD, this remastered release of '2001: A Space Odyssey' features a revelatory upgrade in picture quality that's likely to leave fans buzzing with excitement. Colors are magnificent, rich, and stable from beginning to end -- skintones are perfectly saturated and primary hues are bold and vibrant. Blues and reds receive the most noticeable improvement from past DVD editions, but the entire palette is striking. I'm also happy to report that contrast is dead-on, black levels are inky, and shadow delineation reveals a variety of elements formerly cloaked in darkness."

Nice one. Think I might treat myself to that little beauty too.

As we speak I have on No Country For Old Men on Blu-ray, absolutely superb picture. Some of the shots of the desert are just jaw-dropping.

I did like The Decent but prefered Simon Jordan's first film "Dog Soldiers" second best werewolf movie ever after "An american werewolf".
Will rent the Decent before I buy to judge for myself but 2001 is a must have.

Above board? No idea. I assume so.

Movies they do a good service. Games, although cheap, they tend to keep you waiting in my experience. I use another, England based site for games because they send them to you soon as they get them, even if its two days before release date ;)

If you want I'll PM you the details. Don't want to advertise it or every man and his dog will be using it and there'll be none left for me!
