It bears repeating, since Mana seems to think it's about pie charts and not about movies for some people.

Basically, yes, especially when combined with the availability of Warner, Paramount and Magnolia's films. I don't have any interest in anything from Disney or Columbia (perhaps if the latter weren't so deadset against releasing catalog titles); Fox and MGM both have films I like, but again, they aren't ones on high-def, they're only releasing them on DVD.

The only stuff from Disney that I'm really looking forward to is Ratatouille. Saw it last night, what an awesome movie. One of Pixar's best yet. I won't own Cars again. Pirates 3...I'll buy it just to own all three even though I have absolutely no hype watching it (I didn't even watch the whole sequel yet, and I own both the DVD and BD versions :lol).

Someone who loves you really much should give you an HD DVD player this Christmas.

I faced that question today as I preordered my copy from Amazon. For just four bucks extra, I decided it made more sense to get the HD DVD version as it's playable in SD-DVD players and comes with extra interactive content.
Had all things been equal, I'd have gone Blu-ray because it seems to have a leg up in the format war and I feel better about playing HD movies in my PS3 than my 360.
Petrarca said:
youve got a point, but you also have to admit that most of those studios have been lacking in the release department, i mean FOX hasnt really released shit, when they finally do it will be all good tho
for the time being tho, universal has released a lot of quality stuff, prolly the most out of any studio

If I owned both BD and HD-DVD, it would mean that I couldn't wait for HD-DVD to die, and was ok with my HD media been scattered on 2 disparate formats.
If that was the case, how is it a question? the HD-DVD version, with more features is the obvious answer.
... but because I do care about the longevity of the format; and that I dislike having a collection of movies that I need to play on a specialised or an outdated player, I don't own a HD-DVD.
As an extension to that; if you gave me a HD-DVD player now, I'd still buy the BD version of 300, even though, I like the IME extra content, because I know, in the future, I'll want to play 300 on any player, not just the one HD-DVD player I have.

5.1 PCM, 6.1 DTSES.
Why PCM wasn't 6.1 I have no idea. Whatever, it should still sound super.

Surprisingly enough I agree with my good friend mouse. I didnt care for the movie either and I won't be getting it. I wouldn't mind Sin City though. Is that out for blu ray? I know its not for hd.

Taken from AnimeonDVD
All of these licenses are also owned by Sony in North America, so it's safe to say they're coming.
Film has a higher resolution than the current output of HDTV.

Heh, third for me. Got the original DVD, the 2 disc special edition, and this one, i also own it on VHS if that's worth anything :lol.
Hope so, i never bought this cause i figured a BD version would be along sooner or later. Say what you want about the plot etc. but this should look and sound sick in HD.
The dominoes are falling? After Target and Blockbuster, another 3rd party retailer goes blu-ray exclusively

BJ's Wholesale Club stores to carry Blu-ray exclusively
At this moment, to someone considering hi-def, buying HD-DVD is just not a wise decision

The Patlabor set is now complete. Bandai Visual has solicitated WXIII Patlabor for October on Blu-ray + DVD with a TrueHD 5.1 JP track. Like all other BV HD releases there are english subtitles. No dub this time though.

Sorry for asking this question here but it's not worth a thread and I really don't have time to look through 50 page threads about PS3 scaling...
How do I get the PS3 to upscale anime and keep the aspect ratio? I'm trying to watch the Fullmetal Alchemist movie, and it's 4:3 but the only way to get the correct aspect ratio is by turning off the scaling... Thanks for any help and sorry again.

by the way im hearing a few people complaining that 300 HD-DVD doesnt work correctly on the 360 add-on.. people saying it messes up around chapter 14.
Can you tease us with some photos? Or is that against the rules?

^I looked at that page and I guess thought my monitor was stretching the image... Also, the menu screen has a different aspect ratio so that screwed things up. I'm viewing all of this on a monitor too so that could be part of it.. >_>;; Anyway I just tried it on my PC with media player classic and yeah it's 16:9.

At those panavision resolutions, the limiting factor becomes the optics. Superman returns was filmed at that res, but per pixel at their native resolution, there just wasn't that much detail.

Sorry, non-news.. Not important!!
Where is that "flesh wound" pic when you need it?
Edit: Do you guys always look at the extra content? I think the only movie where I have checked the extra content was the Cuckoo's Nest (DVD) and some stuff on Casino Royale (BD) because I was bored. Mostly I just ignore that section of the movie. :lol
Oh and I played the Pirates dice game on one of the PotC BD discs.
