Transformers (Blu-ray)

Woohoo! My first Blu-ray purchase! While I only got to borrow a PlayStation 3, I can't help but purchase this beauty. One of my favorties films of 2007 and one of the best-rated Blu-ray discs, this is one of the discs that I have to have on High Definition. I've used it as a demo disc at work, and the picture quality was superb! And the sound...? Let's just say the Dolby TrueHD track bought tears to my eyes. This is a definite must-have! It will now join my standard definition DVDs for now, while I plan to upgrade my standard definition setup on High Definition - which probably would take another year. Unless someone gives me a PS3... Hehe!

Transformers (Double-Dip)

Double-dipping usually is the term for buying multiple relases of a certain title. But weird thing is, this instance of double-dipping was all an accident. I ordered a copy of the Transformers DVD from the U.S., but since it never arrived, I just bought a copy here instead. Long story short, I ended up buying 3 copies of the film. While it was my favorite film of 2007, I was overwhelmed at the DVDs I've got for the film. Anyways, I've promised one copy will just go to my good friend Vinsonits. Plus you know what the good thing is? I just paid for one of them. Hehehe!

Transformers

So okay, it goes like this: I have been waiting forever for the Transformers DVD to be released here in Dubai. The DVD was released months ago in the Philippines and in the US... making me wanting this thing even more. I really wanted the steelbook casing, but as I'm not familiar (yet) with other online stores that cater to collectors like me, I decided I'd just settle for the 2-disc edition - that was in October. November came and there was still no sign of the DVD in stores. So I decided to order from Amazon. Learning that standard international shipping will about 4-6 weeks, I agreed to wait thinking that at least I'll have the DVD. Well, it's mid-December and my package hasn't arrived yet. THEN when I was browsing videos stores yesterday - I found it... the steelbook version of the Transformers movie on DVD! I hurriedly bought myself a copy and drooled over the wonders of the amazing casing. Well, until my Region 1 DVD arrives, this is the copy I'll play over and over on my DVD player. Autobots, roll out!
