Way too many good ones to include all in the poll.

In spite of all the great titles, probably just some rentals for me.

just 'Robin Hood' and 'Sword in the Stone' (which unfortunately did not get a glowing review over at bluray.com regarding the PQ of the hidef transfer).

Re: What Blu-rays are you getting August 6, 2013?

I've got an order placed for Oblivion at Amazon UK for their exclusive, but I might swing by and pick up the Target edition, too. Will be keeping an eye out for inexpensive prices on both Place Beyond the Pines and Mud; they're both really, really strong films (Mud might stay at the very top of my 2013 list), but they're also ones where I'm not rushing to see them again right away.

And I'm sure we'll get both the Disneys, eventually.

Strike Back season 2 with U&S sale

Bruce Lee: The Legacy Collection, I will probably wait until the Holidays when I have more cash. But I want to see some reviews on it, PQ and Extras.


Oblivion and Mud, I will probably wait until the Holidays and see if either gets discounted. Not need them right now. I saw Oblivion in the theater and I just rented Mud last week.

Don't buy it for the picture quality, the transfers are practically upscaled SD.

this and the fact that the M83 score is an isolated feature in 24/96kHz (!) audio - why couldn't the whole feature movie be in 96kHz ?

I've been waiting for Silver Streak for quite some time. Can't wait (please let best buy have it in stock).
