Well I had to check my calender, in case I had overslept, and woke up on Monday 12th September (the official UK release date for the SW Blu Rays)
Cos the postie deposited this on my front door step at approx 12:15pm this afternoon:

Woo-hoo!! I've been waiting a LONG time for this, and had it pre-ordered since July. I guess it just goes to show that 'Every Little Helps' when dealing with this supermarket's Entertainment division ( a not-so-subtle clue to our UK members as to who I pre-ordered the set from )
So, being a lifelong Star Wars fan, I should be ecstatically happy, and presumably going to spend the next 72 hours watching Hi-Def Star Wars... right?!
Hhhmmmmm..... perhaps not, as it seems Sod's Law has well and truly struck - my ruddy Blu Ray player has started playing 'silly beggars' and refuses to eject the 'The Grifters' Blu Ray that's lodged inside it :cry
Every button press on the Sony BD-S350 player or it's remote, registers as 'Play' (cos the little Play icon appears on screen) but the player is stuck on The Grifters' menu page. AAAARRRGGGHHH!
I don't have access to any other Blu Ray players, and I don't have a PS3.... however my laptop PC does have a Blu Ray drive and HDMI port, so hopefully I'll be able to download a Blu Ray playback software, and I'll be able to start my Star Wars view-fest this evening :love (fingers crossed!)
So do I win a prize for the first recipient of the Star Wars Blu Rays on the RPF??? :lol
Please everyone... wait until I get my playback solution sorted before unleashing an avalanche of questions and screen-cap requests! LOL
Cheers,
John "Mutter, mutter, mutter.... not fair... wish HD-DVD had won the HD disc war... my Toshiba HD-DVD player's working FLAWLESSLY!" :lol
