Very Nice

This SACD remaster is quite nice. It's a little less bright and a little more dynamic than the original CD. The difference isn't as night and day as some reviews may make it seem, but it's worth owning.

Call me uncultured swine, but I don't get it

First off, I can't fault Best Buy for anything. I am just speaking about the film. I kept hearing about how much of a sci-fi master work this was, so I decided to give it a try, but was kind of disappointed. It seemed like it was getting pretty good, until I reached the end. I'd give it 1 star, but the Music, Special Effects and Middle Act were all flawless, so I gave it 3 stars.
I typically really enjoy Sci-fi and artsy media, so I thought this would be perfect, but the ending was complete nonsense. Some of the visuals were interesting, but nothing tied into the established universe the film was setting up. I don't care how symbolic something is, if something doesn't make sense, simply turning it into a symbol won't cause it to make sense.
If you want to see a good symbolic and atmospheric Sci-Fi film with an ambiguous ending, just get the original Blade Runner. With Blade Runner, you won't feel like you wasted 2 and a half hours of your life.

Wonderful and very interesting album

If anyone's is at all interested in Shoegaze or Ethereal Music, I'd highly recommend this album. A lot of the harmonies have a very nihilistic and unemotive feel (in the best way possible) due to the the nature of their perfect intervals, and when coupled with a larger than life soundscape, it creates a brilliant atmosphere! The harmonies aren't as detached (again, I mean that in a good way) as in their first album, but the instrumentals got a lot busier.

Your beloved VHS tapes have been sitting untouched for years. You don't even have a VCR to play them anymore.

Gets the job done

There is a bit of a lag between the audio and video. This isn't an issue if you have a separate interface, which will sound better anyway. The only other issue is that the video can only be encoded as MPEG2, WMV and something called H.264. This means that you often need to convert the file to something more universal and current like MPEG 4 or AVI, which will hinder video quality. I wouldn't recommend this to hardcore videophiles, but it's fine if you just need to get the job done.
