    Zoom has started sending the Series 1-8 Blu-Ray boxsets out, so they will probably start arriving in the post over the next couple of days.

    I thought it might be worth having a new thread to compare notes in advance of the official G&T review.

    I’m as excited as an extremely excited person who has a special reason to be excited. Sadly I live in the US and even though I have a blu ray player it isn’t multi region. I do have all the American DVDs though (having previously purchased British VHS & DVD) and I’m looking forward to the reviews and analysis!

    It would feel wrong if the members of G&T were to like it, let alone consider it an improvement. I look forward to reading all the negative comments and articles surrounding this release. ;)

    I await the moment it turns out they James Cameroned Series III with DNR so intense it turns the picture into a smudge painting.

    Colour grading/timing is the only thing I’m slightly worried about. Please don’t turn the beige/cream into white or pour a teal tint over everything like Blade Runner.

    I dunno, if you’ve seen how horrible DNR can be then it should be pretty high on your list for concerns with the early series, primarily III. DNR is the autotuning of video clean-up; it’s way overdone and you’d almost always be better without it.

    Honestly same, I’m looking forward to the G&T article on the Blu-Ray more than I’m looking forward to the actual Blu-Ray

    I don’t have a blu-ray player so in haven’t ordered it yet. But I hope to see some footage uploaded online to see how it looks

    Ooh! Ooh! Mine’s just arrived!

    Sadly, I’m on the bus to work, so can’t actually have a nosey until this evening.

    Mine should be waiting at home too.

    I’ve already seen some photos of the final set and it looks like they match the promo artwork exactly – dodgy half-ramscoop included.

    Didn’t we figure out the half-ramscoop was just a perspective thing and it just doesn’t work in that art style?

    Mines coming from Amazon so probably won’t arrive until Monday :(

    No, I think it’s that the picture has been poorly copied from a shot of the pencil-Dwarf that was at a perspective that made the top parts of the scoop hard to see, and the bottom parts look like they were coming from underneath the entire ship.

    Locking this thread as we now have a front page post for this purpose.
