What's wrong with Batman?
I think Tobor likes the PS3. Or maybe he likes barbecue.

They've been the biggest studio for both HD formats so far. Batman, Harry Potter, The Matrix, Blade Runner, the Kubrick movies, Planet Earth (actually BBC, but Warner handles their US releases), etc. Also New Line is a subsidiary and they handle Lord of the Rings.Sanjay said:
Whether we see LOTR is another matter, given that it's tied up in all kinds of disagreements between Peter Jackson and New Line.

The fact that Peter Jackson is now going to be making The Hobbit for New Line says that those disagreements have recently been resolved.NekoFever said:

Ugh.....
[Tolkien fan mode] Kinda agree. They're probably adding way too much additional content to the appendix stuff then they ought to just to be able to have a second movie. And the Hobbit is a fairly simple tale as well to begin with. There's no way it will live up to the original movies in any way. [/Tolkien fan mode] Then again I'm sure I will be stabbing myself in anticipation when it actually comes around to these movies.Metalmurphy said:

Well, if they show everything that Gandalf was doing when he wasn't around Bilbo (which is way way way more awesome than anything actually happening in the book) it'll be really cool. I really want to watch him duke it out with The Necromancer.Wollan said:

Now that the HD format war is decided, I can finally be confindent in picking up a PS3 for my HD movie needs since my 360 takes care of my gaming needs. The PS3 is a little overpiced right now, so I'll have to wait until the next $100 price drop/end of 08. By then the PS3 should have a decent catalouge of games that I can't get on my 360.

Peter Jackson should have sticked to Brain Dead 2.Firewire said:Ugh what?
That way LOTR would have been saved from retarded Urukai running for the Olympics and other stuff alike.

$200 is what I paid my friend for his 360. An an extra $100 for a HD drive seems reasonable, so that's why I said I'd wait until the PS3 is $299.

While I agree with you, I think Paramount has an out clause if HD DVD loses too much marketshare or if they're the only ones supporting HD DVD exclusively.
Wollan said:
It's Peter Jackson though, the man has a great deal of respect for the stories and is probably one of the biggest Tolkien fans out there. Unless the dollars have gone to his head and have changed him, I think he'll keep the Hobbit movies feeling the same as the LOTR trilogy. Regardless, they better get the LOTR trilogy out on Blu-ray soon because they can count on my money right now. I'll be selling plasma if I have to so I can get those. :lol
Anyway, how is this thread still going? More news? I haven't kept up with it since yesterday afternoon when sporsk was wanting to shut it down.

No, I bought it new. My friend bought 10 360s at launch and sold one to me at a discount. Of course, it broke three months later, but MS fixed it for free and I had another one in a week.

Ahhh awesome news and perfect timing too, since the Blu-Ray drive of my PS3 just decided to crap out. I can't believe my luck.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!111!!! Batman Teh Dark Knight on Bluray ftmfw!!!111!!!
Ya, I'm looking forward to that. I have Batman Begins on DVD, and man did it rock. But, I absolutely refuse to rebuy movies when formats change, so I'm not rebuying Batman Begins when it eventually hits BD.
OK a few reasons why i still not have bought xbox360 and ps3 is this:
-waiting for xbox360 hd-dvd built in
-65nm chip wafers for both consoles
that way it can kind of reduce the cost of both consoles even further, and i would be able to get a complete comprehensive console product from both ms and sony.
i am pretty much high definition neutral. i know blu ray is superior cause of extra space and more mbps on processing and all that crap, but to tell you the truth i really cant tell the difference on which format looks better. Can you?
im also waiting to purchase a new tablet laptop with the new 65nm duol core processors, and i want a blu-ray disk drive inside it, and by that time all the windows vista problems will be ironed out.
im also waiting for a hd-dvd + blu-ray + dvd player all in one. I know some company made it (pro-logic or logic something?) but i heard bad reviews on it. So is their any other company out their who has the balls to release a better version of this player?
ive seen blu-ray disk recordable/rw and hd-dvd recordable/rewritable blanks but i have yet to see any pc with blu-ray /hd-dvd drives,,.when are they gonna come out?

It's not out of my reach. I would have bought a 360 for more if fortune didn't favor me with a good deal. I can afford a PS3 right now but outside of Uncharted and Ratchet, I would not have much use for it. Which is the reason I think it's overpriced. I will pay a price I deem reasonable for a PS3. And for me, that price is $299. By the time the PS3 is that price it should have more games to play which would make it have better value in my eyes.

That's because that movies released on both formats (most of the Warner stuff up to this point, for example) use the exact same transfer. Lowest common denominator, etc.

I'm looking forward to those. It was a good choice to make it a 2 part movie since the book is soooo long.Wollan said:
Hopefully both the Hobbit movies come to blu-ray sooner or later
Lord Error
Insane For Sony
See, the best part about HD media is that you will never have to replace it anymore. That's about as good as it will ever get for these movies in their present incarnation. Next format update will make sense maybe when 3D movies start being commonplace or whatever comes next (holograms, I dunno...).Tobor said:
Even if you don't like collecting physical discs, these HD discs are best movie-investment you can have today. In a future when HDDs become huge enough that you can just copy all your HD discs onto them, you'll be always able to do that (and have a disc backup!) thanks to friendly pirates who have already cracked BRD as well as HDDVD
And hey, today they look gob-smacking awesome compared to DVD and even HD broadcasts, so there's no reason to skip on them.

Kittonwy said:Ima certainly NOT satisfied with teh quality of HD cable.
I have ExpressVu HD, and some stuff looks good. But, it doesn't come close to my BD movies. How can it? I have movies spiking at 40+ Mbps for the video bitrate alone. There is no consumer grade, affordable Internet service that even comes close to that.
Streaming 1080p movies of the same quality as BD will NEVER be possible without an infrastructure that:
1. supports 100 Mbps without any hiccups, for all consumers (hundreds of millions of consumes in North America alone)
2. allows people to use their bandwidth at full bore without penalty
3. charges consumers between $25 to $50 per month, max
So, forget the 10 year projections for North America. We're looking at a massive basic telecom infrastructure upgrade that will take 20 to 25 years to reach even 50% completion.
We'll have disc based movies for a long, long, long time to come.
sorry if this is old

The post also makes about as much sense as his films:Das-J said:
Blu-ray is HD, too
(I know what he means; I'm being facetious)Uhh...wasn't Wal-Mart pushing HD DVD not too long ago?
That's what they said about DVD. How it doesn't deteriorate like VHS so your collection will last forever in all its digital glory. And if you think they'll stop when everyone has HDTVs and Blu-ray sales reach a plateau so that the consumer electronics companies need something new to push you're just wrong.Marconelly said:
