    Oppo 103 Blu-ray Player Gets 3 Stars!

    Whilst I appreciate there is a subjective element to any review to be so far apart from other publications makes me question the basis of opinion or the science beind it (either here or elsewhere). The difference between being 'not massively better than the best budget players' to the 'new...

    Star Wars: The Complete Saga (Episodes I-VI) [Blu-ray] available to pre-order

    Is there any difference between the split versions of the blu ray and the full box set? I'm considering buying all 6 movies however there are a number of reasons why I would prefer to keep the holy trilogy separate from the holey trilogy.

    Film 2010

    The bbc have dropped the ball on this one. Given the audience on Radio 5 on a Friday afternoon and the popularity of moviedrome on youtube there is obviously a huge demand for a good quality film review show. How Claudia Winkleman qualifies for the job is beyond me; what does she base her...

    Video Killed the Ratio Bars?

    Its a bit of a con then really and effectivly means that a (sometimes large) proportion of the fabulous HD picture is just darkness (HD darkeness of course!). I'd always assumed that it was the TV or some other processing which inserted the black bands to suit the ratio of the display unit...

    Video Killed the Ratio Bars?

    Firstly I hope everyone in CES is enjoying the weather whilst the rest of us have to huddle round our amplifiers to warm up of an evening. I wanted to ask a very basic question and one which has been floating round my brain for a little while now. When buying a DVD or blu-ray I often look at...

    According to Haymarket mine was posted on the 3rd September however as yet nothing has arrived. They've no more in stock but 'are expecting some more soon'. Given the state of the mail I'm probably better buying both the issues and cables in the shops and then at least I'll have something to...

    Watchmen blu ray for 14.99 on play.com

    I got my blu-ray copy of the Watchmen (Directors Cut) a couple of weeks ago from www.dvdworldusa.com. I paid the advance price of about £22 which meant it was sent before the US release date. Works fine on my PS3.

    International Bright Young Things

    As we all know this little island we all call home is, if you read certain newspapers, also the last bastion of sky high prices and rock bottom customer services. Although I don’t fully subscribe to this philosophy it got me thinking. Many of our members will be international travellers but...

    Subscription offer

    I subscribed a number of weeks ago (by phone on the first Monday morning after release) for the Chord HDMI cable. The first subscription payment came out on the 6th and the first issue arrived shortly after. I've rang the subs department and they said I should receive the cable 21 days after...
