just beat AC2 on PS3 with 98% completion.  I got tired of looking for all those damn feathers and missed just a few monetary treasures.  The game rocked!!  Is AC brotherhood worth buying?  Im not interested in the multiplayer stuff.  Is the single player campaign fun and have a good continuing story about Ezio?

Hell yes it is worth buying, it is a BLAST to, but you better get it soon and beat it, AC: Revelations is coming and it is bringing closure to the Altair and Ezio stories.

Star Wars OT & 1997 Special Edition - Various Projects Info (Released)
Time

AH, if you post in the thread that is cool, I totally forgot about all the excitement from the recent Blu-ray Set findings, and I can understand being excited, I have been there myself before, so go ahead and PM, post in thread, it's all good.

I know I said I am going to retire from anything DVD LOL, but I am considering 1 thing, and it really would not be that hard, or take much time, but I may do new encodes for the V3 DVD Set and upload the new video files for those that may want to swap them out, the new encodes will be encoded from the 720p Blu-ray lossless avi file I have, some have shown interest in this so I am thinking about it, plus ANH has a couple of real bad frames fixed, and ESB has a ton of them fixed, so we will see.

There was an animated Red Nails movie a few years back, I think. I never saw it. I did see the Conan: The Adventurer cartoon series every morning when I was a kid. :p

Was this show any good, I see it at walmart all the time and my Little Boy seems interested, is it worth a buy?

I doubt I could answer that, my memories are pretty vague, it was mildly enjoyable but sort of forgettable. It wasn't anything like the comics or stories or the movies though, closer to He-Man maybe. Who knows though, kids like unexpected things.

Thanks, he does like the old He-Man cartoon and Thundercats, and he is very interested in watching Thundarr The Barbarian LOL, so maybe I will just pick it up.

Harmy's RETURN OF THE JEDI Despecialized Edition HD - V3.1

budwhite said:

Thanks for these releases, Harmy. Much obliged indeed.

Now I'm waitin' on DJ's blu to hit the web. I'm very curious to see how that one look and sound compare to your's(the sound should be better if I'm not mistaken)

NO comparison LOL, and that is NOT a fair one, his Edits are based on the HD broadcasts, mine are not, and his are not 100% de specialized as he calls it, so these are 2 different projects altogether, and should be treated as such, these are not even remotely the same, and I am sure he would tell you the same thing.

and some actually gave me grief for seeing right through his\her crap, and Moth3r saw right through it to, it was OBVIOUS as hell he\she was talking shit, there was NO way that could be done using the LD's he\she supposedly had, I don't care what kind of Super Duper LD Player you have, just NO way, like I said, I just can't believe some of the members here, but it seemed he\she was pulling one over on a few it seemed, which made the whole thing even more amusing, and then when the stupid name calling started, now that took the cake.

Reviews should not be allowed until the set is released. Amazon.com needs to overhaul their review system. They've needed to for years.

I couldn't agree with you more, even though some of these changes suck really bad, reviews should NOT be allowed until they are officially released, because you have all these people posting comments that do not even have the Set LOL.

WOW, I am agreeing with Frink again.

Info: DVNR smearing in GOUT not in the master...? Or is the 1995 release a different master altogether...?
Time

LOL, I do not know who told you this is "reference quality", but I agree with you that it isn't, there is no "reference quality" LD, at least to me anyways, not anymore, but I am going to look at the areas you speak of just for the hell of it.

You are always posting LD screens, can you post some of what you are seeing, so the rest of us can see if we see it on our captures?

I heard the 2006 set with the GOUT is now gone...
Time

WOW, these are going to become rare? I actually have 3 Sets, 1 Set I bought from Walmart with the exclusive Action Figure Set(3 Sets) they were selling separately, and then later in the week I was at Best Buy and saw they had a limited Edition BB Exclusive Tin Set, so I picked that up since it was the last one, and then I imported a PAL Set from Amazon.Co.UK, but this does not surprise me, so what are they going for now for those of you looking to buy them now? they are not crazy priced yet are they?

Awesome. I'm loving this community. You're like brothers...sniff sniff... And Jeff I am not named, but there are some who call me... James. After researching fan-edits, your names have so much praise (dark_jedi, Harmy) that you indeed can be deemed under-ground celebrities. I feel all special getting replies from the both of you. Maybe its cause I respect the concept of fan-edits more than anything spilling out of Mr Lucas head for the last 25 years. Long live the force...I mean...midichlorians...wtf?

Wow, that is pretty cool, Thank you, but you missed 1 very important name, Adywan, he is a GREAT contributor here as well, and a super nice Guy, probably 1 of the most helpful as well, and so is my buddy Harmy.

Yuck, look at all that grain, GOTTA de-grain that intensely to suit modern audience expectations and pull in the GREENBACKS.

Nah, I'm gonna really push for an AOTC kinda vibe when it comes to the colour...

LOL, So you plan on selling this? to "pull in GREENBACKS'? and that image is TERRIBLE, when can we see 1080p motion sample?

Thanks a TON for all that very helpful info, now to figure out how to get these bad boys the cheapest, I think that is the only German interest I have at the moment, besides the VERY COOL Fast & Furious 5 SteelBook, and I just scored a MINT SteelBook of RZ's Halloween for cheap, now I just need to get the UK version of H2 for the Theatrical of that.

Is GOUT resented?
Time

Harmy said:

I have no idea what you're talking about. The only thing anamorphic enhancement does is that it increases the resolution. It has the exact same aspect ratio as non anamorphic, only higher quality. There is nothing not to like about anamorphic (at least where standard definition is concerned).

I agree with you Harmy, I have NO idea what he is talking about, "anamorphic enhanced" is just used for widescreen HDTV's, meaning that the resolution is correct for those with widescreen HDTV's, but if you are watching on a 4:3 standard TV, then yes, "anamorphic enhanced" gives you nothing, but seeing as how MOST people nowadays do have widescreen TV's, most want the "anamorphic enhanced" versions of their favorite films, hence why some here have made the 06 DVD's "anamorphic enhanced", which is way better than it is now.
