Soundstage Blu-ray Is Out !!!! Go Get It!!!

[GoldDustOrphan]

I have a Pioneer 50" plasma and a great sound-system as well. I'm very lucky that I only have neighbors on one side of my condo. They're never home, and if they are, they play music really loud, and don't care if I do as well.

The Blu-Ray disc only cost me $14.99 because Sears was having a one-day sale. I haven't been in a Sears in about five or six years. I also picked up the Best of for $9.99.

Watching this program on PBS was fine, but there's no comparison to experiencing this sound & video quality. I was galvanized from start to finish.

I host a weekly Friday-night party in Boston at Club Cafe. We have a DJ/VJ mixing music & video (9 p.m. - 2 a.m.). It's a mix of top 40 to dance music, but there's a heavy Stevie component every night because of my obvious tastes, but the DJ, Greg, is also a huge fan. This Friday, we will be playing "selections" from the Soundstage Blu-ray early in the night. The room has 8 flat panel TVs and one giant movie-sized projection screen. Later in the evening, remix videos of SN & FM tend to show up. Greg has re-edited video to correspond with dance mixes.

I can't wait to see what the Blu-Ray looks - and sounds - like on this system, which is top-notch.

Wonder if it released in Aus?? Yep, there's some researching to be done by me!

I'd previously been waiting to get the PS3 specifically until God of War 3 and Resident Evil 5 came out, but a Stevie Blu-Ray is worth hurrying it up.

Anyone know if the Sears discs are a limited time thing or not?

FYE is offering a $50 rebate on the PS3 if you purchase it before 12/24.

When you say this Friday, do you mean tonight in the snow storm?? If you are doing it next week, I would love to attend!! Where is the Club Cafe??

Despite the snowstorm, we are still scheduled to be open, but I just know that we'll end up closing at 9.

Club Cafe is located at 209 Columbus Ave., Boston.

Next week, Dec. 26, I will not be getting there until the tail-end of the evening because of family holiday obligations. It's one of the rare times I'm not on-site and my assistant stands in for me.

However, Jan. 2, it's business as usual.

I do tons of giveaways every Friday as well. Every week I have movie passes to advance screenings of basically every movie coming out; CDs; DVDs, plus all the collateral that comes with them (posters, swag, t-shirts, promo items).

(If we stay open tonight, I'm giving out DVDs of Wanted, Mamma Mia, Burn After Reading, Patti Lupone's new CD, and tickets to Judy Gold's new one-woman comedy show.

There's no cover at Club Cafe, and it's mobbed by 11:15. Just so you're aware, Club Cafe is gay & lesbian restaurant/lounge/video dance bar, but it's an incredibly mixed, friendly crowd. It's been open for 25 years and it's Boston's most upscale gay venue. Everyone's welcome and there's always Stevie in the mix on Friday nights.

Is that the Pioneer Kuro? And if it is, are you pleased with it?

On the Sears' Blu-ray DVD what are the audio options?

It would also be interesting to hear about the rest of your home theatre system.

I disagree. I just got a 32" HDTV over the holidays and invested in a blue ray player and you can tell the difference right away between the dvds and the blue ray (as well as in pretty much everything else shown on that screen.

Does anyone here have an extra copy of this for sale? Or have you seen it recently for sale? I didn't expect this to go out of print so fast! It was being sold at Sears for under $20 and now is going for over $50 on Amazon and Ebay. I hate to pay that much when it was so much cheaper retail - plus the DVD is still available for cheap. I sure hope someone out there grabbed some extras when they were on clearance.

aaah......alas...I have a copy of this and I love it looking at it but not in Hi def since its region 1 and Im in the UK and haven't got a compatible blu ray player!!! It wont play on mine. Guess I'll keep saving up

[Macfanforever]

I got my 2 to 3 copies years ago at Sears for $9.99 each.
