I've never seen prison break, so I hope it is as good as people have suggested.

Brother bought me Gone Baby Gone for my birthday. That brings my total Blu-Ray's to 5! I'm impressed more and more with the PS3 as a blu-ray player, just need to get an HDMI receiver

This is one of the horribly jaggy titles where the DVD upconvert looks leagues better, unfortunately... We should have a sticky of these to avoid.

There have been very few titles where I would say the dvd upconvert looks better than the high def version. The Game might be one. I will wait and see if you are right on this. HDDigest gave it decent marks for video/audio.

The main problem is that it has massive jaggies everywhere due to messed up filtering. Like, REALLY bad jaggies; this title looks like a very poorly upconverted (nearest neighbor) 960x1080 master. I'd rather have a softer upconvert picture than one that is plagued by visible aliasing artifacts throughout the film. On top of this the DVD is the Director's Cut, while the BD is the theatrical cut.

Here is a direct screengrab from LW2 BD: (make sure to expand to see full 1920x1080 resolution)

Yuck. All of the Warner filtered transfers are like this (LW2, Willy Wonka, Perfect Storm, Caddyshack, Fugitive, Enter the Dragon, 1st release of FMJ, etc). "Next" and "Dirty Dancing" also have serious aliasing issues.

It's certainly an impressive show from a visual standpoint. And whatever you think of her voice, you can't fault the quality of songwriters she chooses.
