Help with cheap Blu Ray Movies and playing on PS3
- Thread starter mlou
- Start date
I already own a PS3.Had it for 3 months now.But the advice im given is to ditch it and get a standalone.Im just not sure what to do.Ive bought an HDMI cable,which should arrive tomorrow.So that will be my first time playing games in HD. Whats the difference between Profile 1.1 and 2.0?
If you already have a PS3 what is the point of getting rid of it to buy an inferior device instead?
Profile 2 allows for downloading content that some discs will link to.
Its not a big deal but its one of the reasons not to buy a standalone just yet
Wait until you can get a decent player that is multiregion for under

Well i went out and bought Rambo on blu ray........was gonna get close encounters of the third kind but its a tenner on ebay.
Regarding the update you've done, that's the PS3 firmware update (2.41 is the latest afaik) but that firmware was updated to incorporate BluRay profile version 2.00 some time ago.
Oh and the upscaling, that only affects SDDVD playback, but if you've got a 1080p set then set it to full I would have thought.
Mine's only 720p but i'm still delighted with the quality 16 months since watching Casino Royal the day I bought my PS3!

CUTS:
Bluray A America - (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) - Pre-cut (MPAA) "PG-13 Theatrical" release (144:12 min). Cut-list as follows (all info by Michael Mackenzie/Whiggles):
- After an overhead shot of Bond and the contact smashing down a wall, the first and last few frames of a shot of Bond elbowing the contact in the chest are removed.
- Directly after, a shot Bond smashing the door into the contact's face is completely removed.
- After Bond gets to his feet, he kicks the contact in the face. This is missing from the US version.
- Directly after, we see Bond grabbing the contact, who in turn grabs a garbage can, which he hurls at Bond. In the US version, we only get the last few frames of this.
- When Bond hauls the contact to his feet and manouevres him towarRAB another sink, the start of a low angle shot showing the contact's face as he struggles is cut.
- The drowning of the contact is dramatically shortened. First, a close-up of the contact as he is held under is replaced with a shot of the contact's legs kicking.
- Directly after, a close-up of Bond's intense face is removed.
- Following this, we cut back to the contact as his struggles weaken. This is missing in the US version.
- The high shot showing Obanno's bodyguard hitting the ground below after being thrown over the banister is removed. This shot is placed between Bond and Obanno fighting.
- A close-up of Obanno as Bond smashes his head into a window, shattering it, is missing from US version.
- Directly after, a wider shot of Obanno recovering and attacking again is cut due to the previous trim.
- The first few frames of Obanno being thrown into a wall are missing in the US version.
- Obanno grabbing Vesper's leg as she tries to run away is completely removed.
- The following shot of Vesper falling but stopping herself in time is cut due to the previous shot's removal.
- After we see Vesper try to open the emergency exit, a wide shot of Bond shoving Obanno back is missing from the US version.
- Directly following, a wide shot of BG2 falling back is also missing.
- AfterwarRAB, Obanno reacting as Bond kicks him is too cut.
- Obanno rams Bond against the wall, but not in the US version.
- When Bond and Obanno struggle on the floor, Bond chokes BG2. The second angle of Obanno's feet kicking is removed.
- After we see Obanno's face, we see him reaching for the gun on the ground. Missing from the US version.
- A wider shot of them struggling is cut directly after.
- The next shot, Obanno reaching for the gun again, is cut. In the US version, we only see Obanno reaching for the gun just before Vesper intervenes.
- A shot of frightened Vesper breaks a shot of Obanno's legs starting to stop kicking. In the uncut version, the legs starting to slow is in one continuous shot, followed by the frightened Vesper shot.
Bluray ALL United Kingdom - (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) - Yes (144:20 min) - Pre-Cut UK version - "The BBFC advised the company that the torture scene placed too much emphasis on both the infliction of pain and the sadism of the villain for the requested '12' category. When the completed version of the film was submitted for classification, reductions to the torture sequence had been made, including the removal of lingering shots of the rope, close shots of Bond's facial reaction and the substitution of a more distant shot of the beating compared to the original version."
More info (Chris McEneany/AVplay): "The torture sequence is now shorn of Le Chiffre’s taunting line about Bond’s rock-chiselled physique. Whereas the "R-rated" versions show Mikkelsen drape the knotted rope over Bond’s shoulder and utter the worRAB “Such a waste” after commenting on how well he has looked after himself ("You've taken good care of your body" line), the UK version omits this."
