So I've been following the comments on that Amazon review discussing the blu-rays and pointing out the things we've been talking about here. Here's one of their latest responses. Anyone care to head over and respond?

@ Tobes

Prove it. Prove to me that the "crushed blacks" are inherent to the actual transfer. I say this because edge-enhancement and boosting the contrast ratio was very popular in the dvd days. It gave the unknowing consumer the perception that the film was somehow more vibrant--it is the same effect that retailers do when they set their display tvs to "torch mode." Again, provide solid proof that the loss of detail was in the transfer themselves, because a couple of the screens I've seen point in the complete opposite direction.
