The Blu-Ray Upcoming, News & Info Thread

Nothing counts until JAWS is in 4k.

And for that you're going to need a bigger TV.

 

[Khev]

Ha, very nice.

 

[jye4ever]

Well that won't take long considering I already have three TFA blu-rays (first 2D release plus additional 2D and 3D discs in the Collector's Set.

lol

While you are 100% correct about the overkill I do prefer to see technology progress forward instead of becoming stagnant, not that 4K is a bad place for it to stall mind you.

Best Buy had a demo of the Lego Movie in 4K. The damn thing looked practically 3D just on picture quality alone. I can't imagine what the standard and affordable TV will look like 10 years from now.

This guy was complaining to me this morning that he wants helmet free VR.

I told him to go walk around the Ferrari dealership if he wants a virtual experience without wearing a helmet.

 

[Khev]

Still haven't tried the new VR tech. Is it really that great? Better than the Lawnmower Man stuff we had in the 90's?

There was a tech fair here at work a couple months ago and I was able to play through a SW scenario that was created by Lucasfilm. It was really impressive. I can't swing a lightsaber against Stormtrooper lasers for ****, though.

Best Buy's Dr. Strange steel books are up for pre-order...and there are separate steelbooks for the 2D version and the 3D version, with a price difference of $5 ($29.99 for 2D and $34.99 for 3D). Hope there's a price drop when it releases:

Yeah, already sold out on their website. WTF? Was just about to order it too.

 

[The Ween]

It doesn't say sold out, it just isn't showing them. I'm sure they'll have it back up.

Well LG just stole the show at CES with their W7 4K OLED that is no thicker than your house key, or like 2 coins stacked together as in 3.85 mm (0.15 inches).

So thin it can only go on a wall.

So thin the 65" weighs only 18lbs lol.

$10,000 for the 65"
$20,000 for the 77"

 

[Wor-Gar]

wholly sh....... !!!!

I want it.


What cables and plug-ins do you use on a wall-mounted coin-thin screen?

 

[jye4ever]

Ribbon cable, only one!

Oh btw Khev guess what I learned, GOTG2 was filmed with a RED 8k camera!

That was my favorite Atari 2600 game.

 

[rushmore223]

Wasn't that game called "Adventure"? I remember playing the demo in stores, never owned that one though.

 

[Khev]

First time I ever played it was at a friend's house and we'd rotate turns with one person playing Adventure while the other had Luke battle the dionaga in the Kenner Death Star playset.

Yep!

I remember playing the demo in stores, never owned that one though.

So deprived...

Man kids have no idea how good they have it today.

That's why i'm a tech-toy junkie, I lived thru the dark times.

Today my son has to suffer with a 4K tv, xbox 4k, ipad, iphone and hot toys.
