Paducah Home Theater Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 So, Metallica's Through The Never has twice the bit rate if you get the japanese version. I had to get Tangled in 3D from England. Had to get Maleficent 3D from Australia. Same thing is about to play out with Big Hero 6. If we are the greatest country on earth, why cant we get the good stuff???

OO1 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The consumers are just tougher to satisfy in Europe and Asia , Australia is just as advanced as Japan or the UK , bad quality does not sell no matter what , some of the best recordings come from Germany as well - The consumers are protected by very strict laws for quality controls , any lower quality is rejected at the source and if bad quality is found on the market below the standards , there are very heavy fines - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet_Hollow Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) If we are the greatest country on earth, why cant we get the good stuff??? Arguably, no such thing exsits, and some of our finest "products" are or were never intended for the domestic market. standards Amazing that Demming was ever from the U.S. Edited March 9, 2015 by Quiet_Hollow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many things from YouTube I would like to play i 7.3. I was playing a bunch of metallica videos from their YouTube channel the other day and although it did sound good in PCM it makes me wonder how good it could actually sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paducah Home Theater Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) So, Metallica's Through The Never has twice the bit rate if you get the japanese version. Is it available anywhere that you know of? eBay, that's the only way to get the good stuff as far as I know. What I don't understand is that they are pressing the discs anyway. Exactly how much harder and more expensive would it be to press the good version? Makes no sense to me. It's like they're purposely giving us the crap version. 3D, maybe it's not as popular over here, I don't know, yeah it's an extra disc, whatever, but when it's the same exact thing except crappier here, I don't get it.

You see on the screenshot above where it says "region free"? Those play over here. I did that on both Tangled and Maleficient, works fine. Region free is more expensive but they exist on eBay. What I don't understand is why you can't even special order the things. I mean why can't I go on best buy's website and order one? No I have to order it from somebody who can easily get it overseas then have them ship it. It's insulting.

Joseph Jove Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 It's Bush's fault. No, wait, it's Obama's fault. No, no, it's the crony Capitalist's fault. It's those damn terrorist's fault. No, it's the Nazi's fault. Hell no, it's the one Percenter's fault. Your crazy, It's the minorities fault. Global cooling, umm, warming's fault.It's that guy's fault. Wait, it's the others guy's fault. What, it's my fault? No way, it's your fault. No, it's not, it's our fault. Unfortunately, we have ourselves to blame. Americans have become susceptible to mediocrity. And the world knows it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
