Yep, 15 minutes in the naughty corner mate :lol:

Oh I see, other films... the rest of your spelling was good so I didn't think it was a spelling thing, I thought you had missed something out?

 

No worries, spelling mistakes are allowed, I'm a fully signed up member of DNA myself!

 

Anyways, your right, amazon lists about a dozen 3D films on blu ray. I'm not sure though if blu ray can carry HD and 3D at once, as a 3D film is almost like two films at once. It may be that 3D films on blu ray are of dvd quality only and not full HD, but the blu ray format is required to carry the 3d versions.

 

For example there are no 3d films available on dvd??

 

I can't find much information on it, so if someone has a 3d film already can you check the box and see if its in HD aswell??

 

If it is then I can look forward to 3D HD alien nips in the future. Thanks!

[TArrryan]

I agree with you, but I will have a closer look at the box's next time I go into Southampton. I suspect 3D is HD already though, It requires a very high resolution to produce good quality 3D images like that.

Alien nips? What do you mean, I would guess nipples but I might be wrong

[Rupe]

You saw the film, you fancied the alien, surely you didn't miss them!

 

Yes at the cinema its HD and 3D, but avatar has pushed the level of detail up a notch, and so I don't think you can fit that much information onto standard blu ray.

 

Anyway I did some digging and found this

 

 

While making copious press rounds to promote his sci-fi masterpiece Avatar, James Cameron has spilled a little bit about his plans for the upcoming Blu-ray release of the film. He has stated that the upcoming disc will arrive this summer and come packed with ten minutes of deleted scenes. He also stated that the first version to hit stores would not likely be in 3D.

 

That news comes as a warning for true fans, as Cameron plans to re-release another edition of the Blu-ray in late 2010 that will fully support the new 3D Blu-ray players set to hit the market next year. In speaking with MTV, Cameron said that the new deleted scenes give added background to the history of the native Na'vi seen in the film, and there will also be a tribal hunt involving Jake Sully. He added, "It's all wonderful stuff, but it was sort of bogging down the middle section of the movie. There's plenty for a value-added DVD experience on this film. Of course, we'll have to go punch it all up and get it all mixed and stuff like that."

 

About the 3D Blu-ray aspects of the upcoming releases, Cameron stated, "Probably the initial Blu-ray release of Avatar won't be in 3-D and then a subsequent release will be in 3-D. That's my guess right now. So we will probably put out a disk, you know, in six or eight months, let's call it six months, and then after that we will have a 3-D disc when there are enough sets available."

 

 

So it seems you will need a special 3D blu ray player, to get the full experience.

I saw it, I saw the sexy alien, now i feel sad its only a picture....

 

Shame about the 3d but I guess its not completely surprising, Ill just have to make do with the regular HD version as i wont be getting a 3D blue ray player for a long long time

 

now I'm going to hide in a corner and try to forget about it

we got a playstation3 for christmas, came with batman on blu-ray...cant honestly say i can see any difference in quality????

and yes the tv is HD

[Rupe]

I just sold my fisrt Blu ray player on e bay an dgot another new one which is betterer. It was only £120. If the 3D ones aren't too expensive then I would be tempted as long as my projector is compatable. If they change the cabling too then I won't get one, cabling is a con!

[TArrryan]

I have every expectation that 3D blue ray will be hugely expensive to begin with.

I expect many films that claim to be HD are only slightly better in resolution right now.

Films like avatar will be the ones that really begin to raise the bar in terms of quality, after all like many things the full potential of a device is rarely used at the start of its life.

What cables are you connectign it to the tv with Steve?

 

I know I said cables are a con, but the con is they only send the full hd signal out of the hdmi socket so you have to use an hdmi lead, not a scart to three phono or component cables, the latter of which is more than capable of carrying hd but it just doesn't work that way.

 

I took my house apart to install my system, then had to do it again to install the HDMI leads..
