Totally worth it, but I love nature films and documentaries.

Picked up Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, have yet to open the box and watch it on Blu-Ray (watched it on DVD countless times :lol), but Sony... darn... could'nt you be more careful with the back cover ? The image quality of that screen shot with Dr. Cid is really LOW!!!!
distantmantra said:
Yeah. The funny thing is, I do too. I don't think there's anyone that would say that they hated to watch those National Geographic shows when they were younger. I just haven't ever bought a nature film. I think I will at some point though since Planet Earth was such a massive undertaking.
For anyone looking for a cheap 360 Add On this site

Yeah, the Ps3 would look better to you.
captive, I'd take you up on the offer if I were in Texas. I don't drink, but that only means I'd be the best fighter once the inevitable fight broke out. When we head back to your place, we could use dkj's expensive ass hd dvd player to serve nachos. Also, I'll walk out the second petrarca starts french kissing your ps3.
What's your setup like?

Hi, just popped in this thread for the 1st time.
I got a question. Can anyone tell me if Pan's Labyrinth is out on Blu-Ray? Thanks.
Edit: I'd also appreciate 300 for Blu-Ray as well. Also, please link em'.

Just go to amazon.com for 300, don't know about Pan but you could always use the search function they have there.

Is there any news or tentative date for Moulin Rouge on either bluray or HDDVD? That would be a definite killer app for me to embrace the HD era, as long as it has lossless audio.

DarkJediKnight said:
Yeah, but you're scurred to buy any new movies for it cause they might explode if Uni goes neutral. That explains why you bought 300 on Blu Ray. Might as well put the Xa2 out of its misery if you won't even buy the best movie made for it so far.
rubso said:
If its any indication, over at Amazon (movie section), the BR version of 300 is the #4 selling item. The HD-DVD version is #11. 65:35 wouldn't surprise me in the least.

The studio responsible for Pan's Labyrinth announced it will be released on BR on November 12th in the UK. But that company is owned by StudioCanal who is HD-DVD exclusive. You may have to import if you live in the US. At least until StudioCanal comes to their senses

It doesn't. Planet Earth is neck and neck on Amazon. But Blu-ray outsold the HD DVD 60:40 last week. If anything, Amazon's charts are more favourable to HD DVD than it actually is, as a lot of Blu-ray buyers are B&M buys.

But unless Optimum doesn't put region codes on their UK BD releases, it would be useless to import them since they wouldn't work anyways in US BD players.

From what I hear the UK release of "The Crow" will not be region locked so there is at least a chance that this may be the same.

VHS never stood a chance. :lol

Its very nice, great blacks, great picture quality.
However im running the break in dvd trying to work out a possible burn in. If you see my post in the newgen HDTV game thread i believe i got burn in from superstardus boost level meter, as whenever there is a completly black screen there is a black rectangle in the bottom left hand corner that is darker than the rest of the screen. Its only visible on 16:9 content and when either the entire screen is black or its a very very dark scene.
I suppose i learned my lesson now. Everyone at AVS and here that has the TV was raving about how they purposely tried to damage the TV and that nothing ever happened, yea well im not listening to them any more cause its pretty much bullshit. I never played super stardust for more than an hour and a half at a time, yes i did play it a lot but i was also conscience in giving my TV different content and the orbiter was ALWAYS ON and now i have a nice little black patch to remind me every time i watch a dark movie or im in the PS3's XMB at night.

the hell would you want to get rid of me?
and captive, is that set 1080p?

I live in Austin.
I think we should have a boxing match to settle this format war once and for all... Uwe Boll style. I even own red trunks.
Edit: Also, I dont go to sixth street. How bout Ginger mans outdoor patio for the boxing match?
Also, let me touch your 5080.

Mine comes in from Netflix today. I have never seen the whole movie before just part of it when I woke up at 2:30 in the morning once and couldn't get back to sleep, it was on HBO. It seemed interesting. I know a lot of people didn't like but I am going to give it a try.
You people seem to be in the know, so here's my question:
Where the fuck is Jurassic Park? That shit is Universal, right? So it should be released on HD-DVD? Why don't they release obvious system sellers? My PS3 serves as my HD movie player for now, so I've been getting only blu-rays, but something like JP would force me to get the HD-DVD add-on for the 360.

I saw it at the movies with my sister. She hated it, but I liked it. I have never been a big Final Fantasy player, so maybe that helped. I just took it for what it was. I think the pacing was just too slow.
edit: Jurassic Park is coming, and so will every other big ticket movie eventually. Sometimes studios want to wait until the potential audience is bigger before releasing their biggest titles. It's similar to the situation on consoles. Do you release a big title like MGS4 to try to grow a small userbase, or do you wait for the userbase to grow before releasing it?
