I’m not buying it. It sounds very dodgy. BlueRay, slow, picture quality poor and very scratchy.
Not like Yellow&Black Ray. Fast, clear, responsive and very high quality

JB Hi Fi only has limited stock of GF Blu Ray and it was only available in stores today, there must have been big pre-orders.

One thing that was immediately noticeable upon extracting to disk is that this year's game file is only 35GB compared with 2017's 40GB (2h51m v 2h45m this year). The lower bit rate probably won't be detectable with the eye, though.

The extras package comes in at a measly 12 minutes, albeit at a much higher quality than the 1h40m 2017 version hosted by Wayne Schwass.

Perhaps the makers figured they weren't going to sell as many as in 2017, and have reduced their effort accordingly.

is that the DVD or Blu Ray you're referring to? I'm assuming blue ray?

Is the resolution better? The DVD is pretty average.

Yep, just watched, crystal clear vision. I've asked JB Hi Fi if they can get their hands on the 2017 Blu Ray version as i only have the poorly dubbed DVD copy, it is on order, (you can SPECIAL order 2017 online).

Don't you all just love that the club is selling the blue ray for $5 more than retail stores

Started watching my copy last night to about half way through the 2nd Q and the player blew up! Had to pry the bloody thing open to get it out!
(Btw, had the 3aw call going. ..... gees they made some blunders!)
Unfortunately it was also a hard disk drive and so I may have lost all my 2017 finals I had stored.
Would anyone be able to tell me what radio calls are on the 2017 blu ray. .... hard to find the info, or I'm lookin in the wrong spot!

There's a bloke selling them on ebay and when contacted and asked that very question his response was....

"Stuffed if I know bud, try googling it"....... fine operator!o_O
