You do realize that there is an hd-dvd version of bluray.com which is even more asinine don't you not to mention Amir and the "neutral" avsforum.

There have been a few Miramax films released on Blu-ray, since it's a Disney company. Chicago is the one that comes to mind at the moment.

I invite you to go out and listen to some seperates VS any receiver. They sound totally different.
I never said anything about cables...but okay.
130 watts a receiver is not 130 watts.
I could get a amp that has 50 watts which would lay waste.

Yeah, pretty much the rest of the year is going to beat the unholy hell out of hd.
This week that is just finishing is their best chance to win a week though I do not see it happening.

I am keeping an eye on the sunrise earth, just want to see which ones are on.
I think it is just american ones which I didn't find very special.
Stonehenge, Shanghai Harbor and others are the ones I want.

Just to head off any drama knowing how things can get, I will point out that it seems some copies of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End have a misprint on the slipcase that says 1080i.

Some pre damage control? Good boy.
On another note, I'm hoping for at least one more BOGO on either format before the year is out. There's some stuff on both sides that I need, but none of the Fox movies at Fry's fit the bill.
Hmm, Eastern Promises is HD-DVD only, too bad. Not a "system seller" at all, but I would get it on Blu-Ray. Their loss I guess. Getting it just for that one scene is worth it :lol
I don't know if I want the Simpsons movie, I had genuine laughter throughout, but it wasn't like "OMG this is a classic". Depends on the extras I guess.

Was anyone here crazy and rich enough to pick up Jin-Roh on bluray? I'd love to read some impressions on the pq.
OokieSpookie said:
No one posts at the hddvd.com version of bluray.com and AVS finally eliminated all the riff raff. Bluray.com is full of fanboys with taglines such as "The only good HD DVD supporter is a dead HD DVD supporter" or the infamous "Blu Bloods".:lol They take this shit way more serious than any other group I have ever seen.

So are you big enough of a fan to rebuy the whole 7 movies in a similar collectors edition on Blu-ray, a couple years from now... when there is no HD-DVD version left to buy?
Then leave it over there. Things are a lot stricter here.MechDX said:

Let's wait until that actually happens to start poking that particular hornet's nest, okay?

Is there any word of Lost Seasons 1 & 2 coming to Blu-Ray anytime soon?
I believe season 1 is already out.Greatness Gone said:
Do people watch TV seasons more than once? Not miniseries like Band of Brothers, but full-fledged TV seasons. I have all the Sopranos on DVD and I haven't touched them after watching them once (fucking expensive too...)
I searched and found this nice review (take the scores how you want, he has comparison pictures).Outdoor Miner said:

With all the extras (a FAT Japanese storyboard book plus a small booklet), but no extras on disc (besides trailer), I'm not sure. Is Bandai even going to double dip assuming BD becomes the next standard?

Just checked, no dice.YYZ said:
I do watch TV seasons more than once, but it really depends which show it is. For Lost, it is a definite YES.
I watched Cars tonight and that was probably the best looking HD CG disc I've seen. Looked incredible :O
Also Amazon just e-mailed me that the Bourne deal they were running for all 3 movies at 50% when #3 comes out on HD-DVD has been delayed until mid-January for shipping. Did #3 get delayed or is Amazon just being out of stock like always lately?
Doesn't actually exist yet it seems....
I mean the disc does exist in the Japanese set, and there's a review of the Japanese version at animeondvd.com and the US disc should be identical, but my order at Rightstuf.com is still waiting for them to receive the discs from Bandai Visual.

Why would he if his HD DVD would still work?

Hornet's nest, indeed (both sides).
Where is the DVD camp to proclaim the death of VHS anyways?
