How was the overall quality on that?

BTW Christina Vicky Barcelona is BACK down to $8.99

My only complaint with Nikita is, as with all of the Sony 2.35:1 AR Bds with subs, the subtitles spill over into the 16:9 black border. For people like me that use a constant width set up, it sucks. If you have a fixed screen, it's not a problem.
Other than that , no issues I could see with the image or the sound.
A big upgrade over what I used to have and a good value at under $10, imo.

what do you mean by that exactly? I've never heard that phrase description before.

Thanks. Picked up both Femme Nikita and Vicky Cristina.

Planet Terror is back to 9.99.

Thanks. Just ordered them. I was waiting for these to come back down in price.

He means constant height, not constant width. (The overwhelming majority of displays are constant width.)

Think of the way most movie theaters are these days. If you watch a 1.85:1 movie, you'll notice the curtains are drawn in a bit. For scope films, the curtains are pushed out. On a constant image height projection rig, there are no letterboxing bars on scope films. However, this means anything that's placed on the bars, like subtitles, are cropped out.

Josh Z wrote a couple of articles for High Def Digest about this:

ah....

Thanks, Adam. Yes, that's what I meant.
For such an advanced format, this is the one area that consistently disappoints.
HD DVD from the get go as far as I could tell, offered the ability to both re-size the subtitles, as well change their position. 4 years in and we are still getting Bds with subs fixed to the 16:9 AR regardless of the films actual AR





.

Not $9.99, but Amazon has Boondock Saints II for $12.99 right now

Tempting. Think I'll raid my wishlist, try to find another similarly-priced title and then blow a $5 gift card.

damn! price dropped real fast for this movie already!

Sounds like you need the Oppo BDP-83, as subtitles can be repositioned.

Matching up to the local stores, Serenity is now down to $9.99. I just might bite - my free trial of prime ends tomorrow (will I be able to get another 3 months for free?).

Pandorum is down to $9.99. In for a blind buy!

Wow! Do I need another BD to go with my HD DVD and two DVDs?

This will go perfectly with my newly aquired Firefly Blu-ray set.

I'll also toss in Edward Scissorhands at that price before MY Prime ends too!

I got it, and I had the HD DVD and four DVDs.

Serenity was one of my first BDs. I paid $19.99 when it was released. It was a triple-dip on the movie for me. I've owned both DVD versions prior.

In for Death Race! fast cars, explosions, scantily clad women - what more could you want?

A plot? I kid, I kid.

I already had the Blu-ray, the HD DVD, two DVDs, and the iTunes

Yeah. I already had the HD DVD, but the Blu-Ray has quite a bit more special features, and it's one of my favorite movies, so I must have EVERYTHING! And yes, I'm sure you already know this

Why not? It's shiny!
