VCD ?? Look around the P2P programs like Kazaa, Morpheus and WinMX, copy the movies to a cd and hey presto. Ebay have plenty of guys pimping out that crap quality format aswell. Dont want to sink your ship here but VCD quality is dick compared to DVD. Just wait till November and pick up the Special Edition Box set for $90 US I think.

Why not for $60 for vcd. Is there really huge difference between vcd and dvd?

Yeah man, BIG difference. All you have to do is look at the picture quality and you can pick which is which. Clear, sharp and bright - DVD. Faded, off coloured, blocky, defects - VCD. Not too mention, VCD cant get full 5.1 surround sound.

Yeah, VCD can look great, if done right. Searching for the right one......takes ages, and those files....your looking at 700Mb plus.

Take this small bit of advice.....save up for a DVD player, or perhaps just get a DVDROM for your computer, cheaper than an actual DVD player and you can do basically everything a normal CDROM can do aswell as play DVD's.

And you would pay $60, just $30 less than the DVD pack, for sub standard quality ?? Mate, get the cash together, get yourself a DVDROM/player and get yourself that Special Edition DVD set of BoB, it should be seen in nothing less than DVD quality. You wont be disappointed.
