Anyone need a good laugh. My Blu-ray discs from Amazon are being routed as follows by the USPS;
February 2, 2009 08:39:00 AM SANDY UT Arrival Scan
January 30, 2009 01:08:00 PM FEDERAL WAY WA Arrival Scan
January 27, 2009 08:33:00 AM PHOENIX AZ Arrival Scan
January 26, 2009 03:38:00 PM PHOENIX AZ Shipment has left seller facility and is in transit
So, they went from AZ to WA and now are coming back to UT. I guess they just wanted to see the country!
Estimated arriveal time _was_ 1/30... yeah, if they had not seen the entire western US!
Band of Brothers on Blu-ray for $35 shipped. Could not pass up on that. |

| Sometimes it really makes you wonder how these things happen. Personally I like the tracking system..the above information you listed never showed up in my last order until it already arrived...go figure |

I LOVE amazon, buy stuff there all the time....always had good luck with shipping too..your discs will be better traveled than me for sure! 
already made the move to 'blu ray' huh? wow-weeeeeeeee..(btw I also love the band of brothers!) do you have to have a special t.v. or player for those? (i'm serious I don't 'really' know what they are other than supposed to be better picture quality)

| I ended up buying a PS3 partly because it has a Blu-ray player. While a BRD will display just fine on an SD TV, it's pointless not to display it on an HD TV as it would not look any better then a DVD. (DVDs are about 1/2 the resolution of BRD and in all fairness, about 1/4 better resolution can be seen). |

| I will agree. I heard of blu ray but not sure if I even get what it is...I don't watch much tv anyway. Someday maybe T-scope will update us all on the new age devices. |
