Thread: Rocky Undisputed Collection BD Set $49.99

Quote: Originally Posted by JSmith I think there may be a possibility that all these low quality releases of catalogue titles may mislead the consumer into thinking thats as good as it gets.

We seem to be caught in a vicious cycle where catalog titles don't sell,...

Quote: Originally Posted by SpotOn No, your DVD boxed set does not look better. Pop one of those in after you have watched the Blu and you will see the leap in quality. Yes, the source of Rocky II (and III) have some distracting white specs on the print, but these discs are not as bad as you are making them out to be. What is clear is that these transfers are grainy. VERY grainy. I don't think this is a flaw, as movies shot by Bill...

I should have added, I got the email from Microsoft shortly after the order confirming the $10 cashback on the Rocky set, net price is $40 net after cashback plus tax on $50 with free shipping. You need a Bing.com account and follow the instructions which is easy. Chris

A full re-master might help, but I dont see them spending the money to do so. Which is why I said, its probably the best this will ever look.

Is it against the rules to mention where you can find scans of the coupon online? I found it and used it on Rocky today.

it was on the day before shipping, they still honored 52.49 for me.

Quote: Originally Posted by JSmith For what its worth, i found this box set to be a complete waste of money. I watched the movies over the weekend and the only good tranfer was Rocky Balboa. From what i could make out, the others looked worse than the DVD versions. The picture noise on the first 3 movies i found highly pervasive and distracting. The scenes containing noise were inconsistant which i found made it worse. All in all i found this...
