4 Stars So far my only complaint is with the digital transfers.
So far I have only watched the first F&F on the Blu-ray copies, and the picture and sound are good. My 1080p TV is down for the moment so I’m watching them in 720p on my computer screen with Logitech’s 5.1 Z-5500 speaker set through Windows Media Player.
At first I was getting alot of distortion through the speakers but I adjusted the SRS settings and all is good now. As far as the picture goes, from what little I can see it is looking pretty sharp. Which leads me to my only complaint. I did the Digital Transfers on the disk to the computer and when I play it through Windows Media Player, I only get an 8×3.5 inch box to view it on. The picture in that 8×3.5 inches is pretty good but if I try to full screen it, it drops ALOT of the quality of the picture and gets grainy. By the way, my monitor is a W2252QT 22′ wide screen from LG. So you know its not the monitor cause its a good screen from a good company.
5 Stars Great quality, BD Live doesn’t work
After buying several Blu-rays and being completely let down on picture quality (Gone in 60 Seconds!!!!), I was debating whether to even get this. I really only wanted the original F&F, but obviously they don’t want single sales.
I got this from a B&M store (instant gratification…) and was mildly surprised with the picture and sound quality (although my audio setup is not yet so great).
I have the Sony BDP-S350 with the 2.0 firmware update (or so I thought) and the BD-Live does NOT work on any disc. I don’t really care, but it would have been cool to see what the fuss is all about.
Image quality: 8/10
Audio quality: 7.5/10 (not a 7.1 setup though!)
Packaging: 5/10 (didn’t care for some parts of the packaging)
