[Official Message] A CLIP BOX 1998-2011 on DVD & Blu-ray (1. January 2012)

[RayJason]

.. Anyway!

Sorry for asking, but what difference will blu-ray offer to what we already have? I have FIVE (CD+DVD version regular), and the PV quality is outstanding. I cannot imagine that the quality gets better than that.

I looked on wikipedia for what blu-ray actually does, but that page doesn't give me clear information.

I think this picture can explain.



DVDs give you RED area video size while blu-rays give you BLUE area video size.
In addition, audio quality may be improved from the DVD.

The quality difference is incredible. But it's hard to imagine without ever having seen good quality HD.

Look at this picture, it's the same scene from DVD and bluray, with DVD at the left side and bluray at the right:

^ & ^^

Oh! I suppose that is why most people are so excited for this! It's actually really awesome to have such brilliant quality. I'm dying to see some of ayu's PV's in blu-ray quality then. XD

If they manage to convert all of the PV's to that quality then I can only find it reasonable that they priced this CLIP BOX this high.

edit; But wait. Wouldn't that mean that the PV's gets stretched out??! I wonder what solution they have for that.

[isthisLOL?]

The PVs will NOT be stretched, that is not neccessary.

However not all of them will be the kind of quality I linked, it depends on how good the cameras the clips were recorded with are. But at the very least the FIVE PVs will have incredible quality.

[Earth_maiden]

I don't have a bluray player, and I don't really notice the difference in quality, so I'll just get the OS press DVDs.

[yukito]

Only almost a month away from the release and we still don't have any specs for this product... Come on avex, make us want to buy it!!!

[kumiko.koda]

I will get the bluray limited version

[yukito]

I want to buy it as well, but I wish they would at least let us know something about what we'll get.

[Shiyu]

is it really sold out already?

[fancycar]

still no further news...

looks like the Limited Edition is sold out from every Japan online shop.

[nick]

yep... sure... just yet another money-squeezing exercise by avex... wait a while, you'll have exactly the same stuff (+ maybe with new PV's added) - "remastered for 3D" in a year or two...

[letter]

^The funny thing is that I can actually see that happening.

[yukito]

^ I don't, 3D wouldn't work for many of the PVs, if anything, something like that will be done for the concerts.

[Chu-Lip506]

thank you title156 and isthisLOL?
for explaining the blu-ray thing, i never watch a blu-ray or have one but i might invest in get a player so i can get this release in blu-ray

Hey, letter
I agree - I got sick and tired of re-releases of re-releases (containing just one small vid of 'making' in the end), or re-remixes of re-remixes (with the change of one or two notes, a speeding or slowing it down a bit). If you will look closely into this and think - these releases have nothing to do with what Ayu writes and signs now, it's all based on the past - that was all released already, sometimes twice or three times... That is actually one of the reasons that I don't update my eneabba.net any more... It's now '1998-2010', I think I should've stopped in 2008...
I mean - it's all OK for the relatively new fans... But what I am supposed to do with my collection (since about 2000...)... throw VHS tapes to buy video CDs, then throw video CDs out to buy DVDs, then throw DVDs out to buy blu-rays, next throw blu-rays out to buy 3D discs. Be rest assured - by the time the 3D will be commonplace, they'll invent 'smellovision' (like in Futurama cartoon), then something else - just to make sure that the old stuff keeps getting re-issued...
Please, people, buy the stuff if you want to. But not me... I am sure I can afford the whole lot, with limited editions etc etc, but there has to be an end to this... So, nope, not me... fool me once - ok, fool me twice - I get suspicious, so there won't be a third time... just my personal opinion, naturally

[Tom Punks]

^ Well, the quality is kind of getting better every time we move on to the next video format... It's not like we gradually moved from VHS tapes to blu-ray discs because movie distributors were trying to milk us for our money. There's a huge difference in quality between VHS tapes and HD movies. Times and formats change.
