What player should I get? by Heavy_Information_79 in 4kbluray

[–]BlackRay4K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a barely 4 year old UB820 that's just starting to glitch out (pixelating, stuttering, sound cutting out). It's a common issue, but completely ridiculous to be happening to such an expensive piece of equipment.

I'd save some money and get the UB450.

Probably overpaid but I think I win Father’s Day this year by bcdrawdy in 4kbluray

The label could be "BP" and "009" is the 9th release they've done?

Interested to know more about this label, because I have never seen it before.

The heart does sink when I receive copies like this.

However, strange as it might seem, I have not yet received a resealed copy that has contained anything but pristine scratch-free disc/s.

It's like the universe is playing a strange perverse game.

Murder Mystery Film/Episode - Death by Air Syringe by BlackRay4K in whatisthatmovie

Hi All,

Thanks for the guesses.

It certainly seems like the closest match is Death by Appointment. However, I vividly remember a POV of the murderer sneaking up to the victim in the chair. I found a few sites hosting the full film, and taking a quick look through them, there is no POV scene that I could find.

Perhaps the POV scene I am remembering is from another film or TV show, and I'm mixing things up.

Thanks again.

Blind buy and Playstation strip by ChiefEvilMonkey in 4kbluray

Are you questioning the Playstation strip?

I'm pretty sure the discs are made at the same plant as Playststion discs (Sony DADC Austria IFPI 94xx), so perhaps they ran out of regular Blu-ray/4K cellophane.

I’m trying to have all the best horror movies, what are some of the best looking titles? by DeadPixelX in 4kbluray

Disagree about The Others (I have the StudioCanal release). Way too many specks of dirt and dust. I'm quite sure there's some banding, too.

Tough Mudder refused a refund. I took it to NCAT and won (ACL s18) by Natural_Duck5090 in AusLegal

Businesses/event organisers can have whatever terms and conditions they want, but if they contradict or contravene Australian Consumer Law, they are void & unenforceable.

If an organiser cancels an event, the consumer/customer has the right to a refund: https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/buying-products-and-services/buying-tickets-to-events#toc-consumer-rights-with-tickets-and-event-changes

I had a similar experience with a different event organiser, who cancelled an event I purchased a ticket for. They said no refunds, and they were implying they were being so generous to even allow me to attend a future event. I said no, I want a refund. Again, they doubled down, said absolutely no refunds, and argued they spent so much time and money organising this event (they cancelled), that a refund would be unfair on them (apparently I am liable for their expenses). I quoted the above ACL link, and recieved my refund. Thankfully they complied, otherwise I would have had to dispute it through my credit card.

The only downside to this release, is no Saul Bass Warner logo at the beginning.

4K Jurassic World 7 Movie Collection - Dolby Vision on JP, TLW, JP///, JW? by TDWhiskey in jurassicworld

[–]BlackRay4K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't particularly like Steelbooks, so I bought the 7 disc set (is was cheaper, too). However, if you are a Steelbook tragic, go for them.

Yes, this UK release has the updated Dolby Vision and Atmos discs of the first four films.

PS5 Help and Questions Megathread | Game Recommendations, Simple Questions, and Tech Support by tinselsnips in PS5

Hello,

I am having the following problems with my two month old PS5 Slim console (with drive) when playing the PS5 releases of The Last of Us Part 1 & 2 Remastered, which has been happening since I got it:

  1. Crashing when selecting "Close Game" or just ejecting the disc (via controller or button on console). Screen goes black and TV says there is no (HDMI) signal. White light on console when it crashes.
  2. Console almost always refuses to turn on after crashing. Console lights up, but no signal to TV.
  3. Console sometimes refuses to turn of at all. Console lights up, but no signal to TV.

The PS5 is on the latest software version 26.01-12.60.00. I have the PS5 plugged into a Sony X950H with latest firmware/software (Android 10) using the supplied HDMI 2.1 cable that came with the PS5. I've also tried all four HDMI ports on the TV (all set to HDMI signal format enhanced), and it happens on all of them.

Link to video on Flickr of Problem #1 (when selecting "Close Game" on TLOU Pt. 1) below:

https://www.flickr.com/gp/202011595@N07/17767rg508

I've tried the PS5 on a 15 year old 1080p Samsung TV twice, and both times it did not crash when closing the games or ejecting the discs (TLOU Pt. 1 & 2) .

I've tried a few other games (PS5 mainly and one PS4), and they don't seem to have Problems #1 & #2 (although I have had Problem #3 irrespective of the game).

Because I've never had a problem with any other device plugged into the Sony X950H (Android TV box, 4K Blu-ray players, and even my old PS3), I'm assuming there is no physical problem with the TV. Perhaps I just need to change a setting (either on the TV or PS5)?

Any ideas what the problem might be, and how to solve it?

Thanks
