This is my favorite mini-series, bar none. I could rant and rave all day about this work of art, but suffice it to say, once you start watching, it's hard to stop.

The graphics on the Blu-ray version isn't a great leap above the standard version, but the sound ....... Whew ! :)


The only requirement is to have a Blu-ray player (:rolleyes:) and to say, "I'm In".


..... but it would be pretty cool if you posted a cat picture, too. :) It won't increase or decrease your chances, and it's not a requirement at all, but ..... okay, it's just a poor excuse for some GD Cat Pictures !!

I'll pick this Sunday at noon (the 27th) ...... if I don't sleep in. :o

    Great Karma now I almost want to go buy a Blu Ray player :D geez if I did that then I would need to buy a Hi def tv too lol. This karma would seriously cost me so im out. :p

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    A friend/coworker was in the market for a new TV and Amazon is running a special if you buy a Sony XBR TV and a Sony blu-ray player they take $400 off your total. He already has a PS3 so I told him I’d give him $125 for the Blu-ray player. He was planning on buying a Samsung TV that was around $125 cheaper than the Sony combo deal, so I split the difference and he agreed. Works for me.

    Actually, this series on Blu has been on my wish list for a while now. I have seen only parts of it on HBO, and I would love to see the whole thing in all its High Def glory!
