Arf! Look at the David Lynch Mug, described as a "Standard Version". Sadly, they fail to follow the joke up by adding "Handle" to the list of special features.

remember it's the US version so it won't work in UK living rooms!!:lol:

I can't believe that trivial pursuit game centred on dvds though!:cuckoo: Can you imagine the questions? "To the closest minute when does the layer change occur on...":dork:

I think it's a trivia quiz that runs on DVD players as opposed to a board game about DVDs. :nuts:

From the site:

Product Features

All-new multi-media version of America's favorite trivia game. Includes 2,400 card questions and a DVD with 600 DVD questions. Features 6 categories: Television, Movies, Music,Sports/Games, Buzz, and Fads.

ah I expected the bit that says "with a DVD twist" to mean all the questions were angled towards DVD

Bapapapa
21-10-2003, 17:32
I can't remember where I got them from, but I've upped them to my webspace -

Dolby Digital (http://www.aquc90.dsl.pipex.com/DOLBY.zip) (4mb zip)

DTS (http://www.aquc90.dsl.pipex.com/DTS2.zip) (6mb zip)

THX (http://www.aquc90.dsl.pipex.com/THX2.zip) (4mb zip)

They all unzip to ~60MB .tiff images :eek: - I used photoshop (think I turned resample off) to set the print size. :dork:

Cheers Baps, I have just downloaded those off you (fast speed too!). Might have a go if I can find a nice cheap frame.

Hi Cheers, Just done them now

A few questions if you dont mind?

1) What Size are yours?
2) What Paper did you use?
3) What color paper did you use?


Cheers

2) Just matt photo paper (Epson, I think - it's quite a heavy stock)
3) Is this a trick question? White.

The DTS plaque is much cheaper at DV-Depot (http://www.dv-depot.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=1&products_id=123833), but I don't think they've had stock in for ages.

Marv

You can get them for £20 at the dts store not sure how much postage is though.

I got the print of's for the Plaques i made here. (http://sameer.f2g.net/dd.html)

Postage at the dts site is £65+

Hobbycraft do the clip on frames in A4 size at £1.59, if anyones interested.

Most reasonable, considering each plaque must weigh about three tonnes. :lol:

If you email DTS UK they'll do you a plaque for £35 delivered

Can't remember the address offhand

Oh my good God. I've seen it all now! DTS worshipping Johns! Someone tell me why? Why must you print out pictures of the DTS symbol and hang them on your wall?!

In a home theatre setting these would look great!

Ooooohh.... I'm seriously tempted to the plaque of *********..

Sod it just ordered one...and a Dolby Digital one as well from another place...

Thanks to the original poster for pointing this out... :thumbs:

Or should that be :cry: with the £65 I've just spent on the two...

DTS (UK) Ltd, Unit 5, Tavistock Industrial Estate, Ruscombe Lane, Twyford, Berks, RG10 9NJ, UK
