Are the bonus materials in HD on Blu-ray?
It'll be really interesting to see how Warner's transfer will look like with the VC-1 codec comparing to Blu-ray's MPEG-4.

The Euro HD DVD version doesn't have lossless audio like Disney's version does though.

Is the 360 HD DVD player region free as well? Or does it only play discs from the US? If not, could I import this and watch it on my 360?
My girlfriend pre-ordered the BBC/Discovery HD special Planet Earth for me.. it's for my birthday present, but she wanted to tell me it (way) early. :lol

There is no region-coding standard for HD DVD (yet at least), so no HD DVD machine is region coded for hi-def discs.
HD DVD players do restrict regular DVDs to their region though.

That's seriously impressive in terms of HD extras, I think the Pirates Blu-Ray discs are the only other ones to have such a plethora of bonus features. More studios need to start doing this for both HD-DVD and BluRay.
This isn't meant to be a jab or anything negative, but Dreamgirls is also hitting BluRay on the same day, so everyone can be happy.

Blu-ray backer Samsung releases HD-DVD product
Longtime Blu-ray backer Samsung recently showed off a laptop computer with HD-DVD drive.
If this is a sign of change from the first company to release a Blu-ray player in the US is uncertain. Will they release a stand alone player? If so this will be a major boost for the HD-DVD camp.
The laptop will first be released in Samsung's homeland Korea and feature a full 17" HD (1920×1200) LCD screen.
For those of you who read Korean you can read more on Samsung's website.

HD DVD Gains Momentum Across Europe
Hollywood and European Studios Show Broad Support with Nearly 600 Titles Expected in 2007; European Promotional Group Formed
The clear advantage for the format in Europe is having Studio Canal as an exclusive studio (for now).
HD DVD group seems a lot more agressive in Europe, especially snagging some of the biggest franchises from Warner exclusively.

THD? Does it make more sense to release a HD-DVD and Blu-ray version in 1 package? Then you are not limited by capacity.

I think if it blurs the line between Hd DvD and BD, that's a good thing. This, along with combo players, should help to reduce the "don't buy anything, there's a war going on" stigma.

That's the title of the article, don't shoot the messenger. And 600 titles coming worldwide is a lot (but of course I'll take that as a typical PR hype talk, let's see if they can actually meet their goal).
The sales are about 4:1 currently in favor of HD DVD in Europe. The ratio will of course be narrower with the PS3 coming though.

I'm assuming the 360 HD DvD add-on drive will be able to use these features, right?
Also, I can't get save scenes in King Kong, I'm not sure if that's just an issue with the 360 add-on.

As for King Kong's bookmarks, I don't have any problems on my HD-A2. You're sure you have the latest firmware update?
Apparently, there's also another one coming soon that will fix additional issues (they said spring).

I just pre-ordered Children of Men and Happy Feet last night (HD-DVD).
However, I'm really disappointed that there's no word of a Blood Diamond Hi Def release, seeing as how the DVD comes out tomorrow. I'm sure they'll release it in HD soon, but damn, I really loved this movie and was hoping there'd be a day and date HD release. Does anyone know anything about Blood Diamond being released on HD-DVD?

Yeah, I have the latest firmware. It's funny cause it allows me to save the scene by pressing a button, but when I go to "extras", the disc gets hung up finding my saved scenes and nothing ever pops up. It doesn't freeze the movie, so I can just back out and keep watching the movie, but it sucks. I'm going to try it on Cinderella Man tonight to see if it works.

Universal didn't start doing bookmarking (MyScenes they call it) until Tokyo Drift I think. Every Warner title has them, but for Universal titles, it's only those released October and later.
Cinderella Man was a May title, so it wouldn't have it, and in fact most titles don't. This is one of the slight advantages HD DVD holds over Blu-ray right now. Warner hasn't implemented them into their titles on Blu-ray yet, probably probably will start to by the end of the year if the BD-J stuff gets worked out.

On the other hand, it was an awesome movie and it looked great. It also had the nice overlay menu that king kong had, which looks and works great.

Toshiba rejects Blu-ray victory claim
Moves to dispel anti-HD DVD 'propaganda'
Rob Mead
19 Mar 2007 08:35
Toshiba has rejected claims made yesterday at a Blu-ray press conference at CeBIT that its own HD DVD format is failing. Olivier Van Wynendaele, Deputy General manager of HD DVD at Toshiba Ltd said the claims were "propaganda" and then proceeded to dispute them point by point in a call to Tech.co.uk
Last Thursday Blu-ray Disc Association chairman Frank Simonis said that Blu-ray discs were now out-selling HD DVDs by 3:1 in the US - a claim Van Wynendaele disputes.
Van Wynendaele argues that the reason for the disparity is that new owners of PlayStation 3 games console are simply redeeming free Blu-ray movie vouchers given to them by Sony that they have to exchange at retail stores - this is distorting genuine sales figures, according to Van Wynendaele.
He counter-claimed by declaring that Toshiba had sold 200,00 HD DVD players in the US, compared to just 30,000 true Blu-ray players. Van Wynendaele said that the two million PS3 sales could not be counted because there was no guarantee that people who were buying the consoles were: a) choosing to buy movies with their own money; or b) actually watching Blu-ray movies at all - the vast majority could be using the PS3 to play games on, for example. The truth is, he said, that neither format could claim victory when high def player sales accounted for less than 1% of regular DVD player sales - in the US at least.
Van Wynendaele also said that Toshiba's player pricing strategy would still put its HD DVD format at an advantage when compared to Blu-ray. He said Sony's decision to offer a lower-priced player later in the year would be undercut by Toshiba.
He also said the company's own research had confirmed that even at £450, many people still believe HD format players to be too expensive when compared to the bargain basement prices offered by supermarkets on DVD players. Toshiba launched a £449 1080p HD DVD player - the HD-EP10 - last week. Blu-ray players currently sell for around £1,000.

The HD-A2 is already at $352 on Amazon with free shipping, I'm expecting the player to be below $300 in the next couple of weeks.
And with the 5 free movie deal until June, it's an extremely attractive price for a great HD DVD player

Seriously, why don't they do deals like that over here? :/ Five free movies with a HD-DVD player for 350$... the Toshiba HD-E1 (not sure, but that's probably more or less the same as the A2) is ~400€ (no free movies).

Paramount Catalog Classics 'Untouchables,' 'Warriors' to Hit Blu-ray, HD DVD
Paramount Home Entertainment will add two cult favorites to their growing HD DVD and Blu-ray libraries this summer, with the release of 'The Untouchables' and 'The Warriors.'
Both titles have long been favorites on DVD, and will finally be making their next-gen debuts on July 3.
Each will be a fully-stocked special edition, boasting the same extras as their standard-def counterparts.
Technical specs have not yet been released in full, aside from Paramount's standard 1080p/VC-1 transfers on the HD DVD versions, and 1080p/MPEG-2 encodes on Blu-ray. We'll keep you posted on audio specs as soon as they are announced.
'The Warriors' will also be released in the 2006 'Ultimate Director's Cut' version only, with current info from Paramount indicating that the original 1979 theatrical cut will not be included.
Paramount has set a $29.95 list price for each.
I don't think I've seen either movie, amazingly enough.

Bandai Visual Announces First Anime HD DVD Release with 'Freedom: Vol. 1'
andai Visual today becomes the first anime studio to throw its hat into the next-gen ring, announcing its debut HD DVD title 'Freedom: Vol. 1' for release this summer.
The first in the popular sci-fi anime series, 'Freedom: Vol. 1' will see a simultaneous debut in the U.S. and Japan on June 26. The title will be packaged as an HD DVD/DVD combo release, and distributed in North America by Bandai Visual USA through their distributor Geneon Entertainment
Bandai Visual intends to "utilize the expanded technological capabilities of the HD DVD format" to present viewers with high added-value on its titles
Full specs are not yet available for 'Freedom,' but the release will include a 1080p/VC-1 encoded transfer, and make use of the HD DVD format's HDi authoring environment, which suggests cutting-edge features including picture-in-picture video and more.
After 'Freedom Vol.1,' Bandai Visual will start releasing other HD DVD and Blu-ray titles in Japan. They have not yet announced any Blu-ray titles for North American distribution, including 'Freedom: Vol. 1.'
'The Matrix' Trilogy Comes to HD DVD
n one of the biggest catalog announcements yet for HD DVD, Warner Home Video has set a May 22 arrival for two extensive box set collections of the blockbuster 'Matrix' series.
The revolutionary sci-fi trilogy, which grossed over $600 million in the U.S. alone, has long been rumored to be in the planning stages for next-gen release. Thought to be a "killer app" -- the kind of trojan horse title that would entice non-early adopters into the high-def fold -- Warner is already gearing up for one of its biggest-ever HD DVD releases.
The studio will unleash two different configurations, both streeting simultaneously on May 22.
'The Complete Matrix Trilogy' will span three discs and include each film in the trilogy -- 'The Matrix,' 'The Matrix Reloaded' and 'The Matrix Revolutions' -- plus a four bonus disc with extras, 'The Matrix: Revisited.' Each film will also include an Interactive Movie Experience (IME) feature exclusive to the HD DVD, which will deliver an video commentary featuring interviews with the cast and filmmakers, behind-the-scenes footage and more.
'The Ultimate Matrix Collection' will replicate the extensive standard-def box set of the same name which debuted two years ago. In addition to the three IME-enhanced 'Matrix' titles and 'The Matrix Revisited,' an additional 35 hours of bonus materials will be included.
Warner has not yet issued full specs for either box set, including whether what, if any, supplemental features will be presented in 1080p. But we'll certainly keep you posted.
Suggested list price will be $99.99 for 'The Complete Matrix Trilogy' and, for only $20 more, you can grab 'The Ultimate Matrix Collection' for $119.99.
No Blu-ray version of either 'Matrix' set has been announced. However, Warner says it plans to release a comparable version later this year, once Blu-ray's much-touted BD-Java environment is finally ready for prime time.

Too bad I don't have the audio to take advantage of anything beyond 5.1
Happy Feet got rave reviews at HDDigest. I never saw the theatrical release, so I'll pick this one up next week while I'm in DC for a conference. What stores carry a good selection of hd dvd movies? I live in the Caribbean and have to order my stuff online cause no stores here carry any hi def formats.

you know, this is as good a place to put it as any....
so right now for someone who wants the best of both worlds (HD audio, all releases, all interactive features). Blu-ray is easy. go with a PS3. However you will still need a HD-DVD player. It is sounding like the best current bet would be to do a 360 Elite w HD-DVD drive.. do we know if the 360 Elite will send DD+ and True HD out HDMI?
I have given up on a reasonably priced universal player that supports both iHD and BDJ anytime soon
