    I got it for $20 (£14), and I have to say ... "wow" and I haven't even watched the movie yet.

    My Mac don't seem to like it, so I have to watch it on the PC at home.

    I take the Wow back. They have ruined it. frown.gif I am at this moment trying to find a complaints section on WB's site.

    1. First off the quality is S H I T E. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw someone stand up halfway though it. you think they would of digitally mastered it.

    2. Only works on the PC, and even then the layer switching is terrible, freezes up constantly.

    3. It's in Widescreen (the menu as well). The menu is in full wide screen, but the movie has two massive black lines above and below making the view even smaller.

    4. I haven't fully looked at the rest yet as I'm so ****ed off about the state of the movie, but I turned on the directors commentary and it sounds like they had one microphone for the lot of them as Ms Moss sounds like she's halfway across the room at times.

    ... Apprantly I'm not the only person who's having the same problem..

    What's really p1ssing me off now is that they are saying it's the peoples DVD's player problems not the DVD.

    What kind of Bullsh1t is this? One of my players is under a year old and the other is less then two months old.

    It's like buying a brand new VCR and renting a video and being told it didn't work because you should of bought thier VCR.

    What's annoying is all the music companies plan to pull this stunt when it comes to MP3 and SDMI.

    Yeah theres actually a fairly long list of DVD Players that are having problems with the matrix. I've read a report somewhere thats it to do with the way they burnt it. Another thing I noticed is the DVD takes longer to load/be recognised on my DVD Rom player on the PC than any of the others.
