I said I wouldn't upgrade these, but there they were standing right in front of me at WalMart, Universal's first BDs ... so I grabbed them (but not Scorpion King).
Also said I wouldn't buy Batman Begins again, but after seeing Dark Knight, I wanted the IMAX prologue...dammit!

DAMMIT! Looks like I'm going to a matinee of Mummy III on my own dime. Thanks Amazon.
Plus there is nothing on the outside of the movie that says that there is one inside.
It did come in a nice slipcover (which was unexpected).

The Mummy and Mummy Returns is pretty much getting trashed over at the AVS Forum
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1050230
I thought you guys said this was supposed to be a great transfer. Folks on AVS are saying it basically the same as the HD-DVD transfer; and not that good.

Amazon, I don't think you offered any of the bluray discs with the promised tix... talk about false advertising.

I am holding off for now and going with the Deluxe SD versions that just came out (and no BR player yet anyway). I just got the Mummy Deluxe new on Ebay for $7.99. Looking to do about the same for MReturns.

I have a Samsung BD-P1400 player which hasn't had any trouble playing anything until now. It will not play either Mummy or Mummy Returns. When I press play it shows the disclaimers but when the film is supposed to start the screen goes black. Then the player won't respond to any command except for turning it off.
I haven't installed any updated firmware because it played everything until now. I called Samsung and they are sending me the latest firmware update (I'm too computer illiterate to try burning my own disc) and I'll try that when it comes. I'm wondering if the new Universal discs are a problem with my unupdated player. Has anyone else had this problem?
