about the best picture quality you can get in HD

Cool! I was surprised to see it so cheap in Gamestation. Serenity in Tesco for £12 was a nice surprise, but if Corpse Bride's picture quality is as great as you say then I'm downright confused by the pricing... They had most other titles there for £20-ish.

I would asume its priced that way because it was released almost two years ago. IMO its one of HDDVD's best releases and the movie its self is pretty good too

Anyone have any details on the Korean version of Transformers Blu Ray?


Release Date?


DD+?

DolbyTrueHD?

LPCM?

VC-1?

MPEG2?

AVC?

BD-25?

BD-50?


And most importantly, does it work on a US PlayStation 3?

Click to expand...

Wait, what's funny? Of course you will get an update. Isnt this the purpose of this board? Not every HD 360 owner keeps checking what's available in marketplace (Similar to topics like xblarcade or xbldemos or even the PSNetwork) I know I've gotten tons of heads up this way just reading neogaf.

Moreover, the 2 titles are bluray only (well at least in the US, I am unfamiliar on who distributes what in other countries) which an HD DVD only person who likes the movies (like myself) can at least experience these titles in HD. It was a surprise to me, a sweet one at that, and was excited about this and posted to let other people know.

So again, what's funny? I dont understand.

Anyone else pick up Rush Hour 3 on BD today?

Looked decent, I'm not the guy to ask about PQ and have nothing to speak of for audio equipment so AQ is whatever, curious what other people thought.

Probably not as a good a movie as the first two, but perhaps some of the best outtakes in the end credits as the series had.

Because it'd be the same as reporting when these movies appear on your cable operator's On Demand service, in this thread - it isn't germane to the topic. BD or HD-DVD exclusivity never stopped these movies from appearing in HD by some other means.

Exactly, this is a Blu Ray/ hd-dvd thread not on demand thread.
Even though I am sure some....somewhere....appreciate the zeal and the obvious...enthusiasm you show but be assured that people already know.
HOLY SHIT I CAN GET BOURNE ON DEMAND THROUGH MY CABLE COMPANY :D :D :D

I can see your point. But there is a difference between that and xbox live marketplace. While this is OT, neogaf is still a gaming board and I assume a lot of the blu ray players are PS3's and a lot of the HD DVD players are 360 add ons. My post is just me, excited jumping up and down and waving to other 360 add on owners, trying to share that these titles are available on live, that's all. Believe me this doesnt really happen a lot on live. Not blu ray (US exclusive?), not big titles like these, and not in a quick manner. Hence the excitement :D :D :D

I actually dont have HD on demand on cable. Damn thing has be broken for awhile now :D

Has anyone compared the Marketplace version of Pirates vs the Blu Ray version?

I saw that most downloads clock in between 5-7 gigs, certainly it isn't full HD? I imagine it has to still look impressive though, are there any good comparisons online? I'm not sure which movies are on Marketplace (and am not interested in digital d/l,) I just want to know how good the technology is at present time.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Blade Runner (at least on BD) has multi-language menus depending on the region of your player. I stuck it in and the menus (root and pop up) were in Japanese on my JPN PS3, whereas they were in English when I put it in my brother's US PS3.

A few Testimonials:

William - "Nothing but good things to say about HD-DVD. Keep the movies coming!"

Alesha - "I love HD DVD, they need more studio support! Plus Blue-ray is way over priced, nobody wants to pay $1000 for a dvd player!"

Terry - "HD DVD is growing much faster than Blu-Ray. Release your films, and I will purchase."

Tony - "HD-DVD gives us a realistic - reliable affordable way to enjoy movies in HD... Give us full support! Thank you."

Steven - "I own the Toshiba HD DVD player XA1 and it is amazing.I work part-time at Circuit -City (2 years) and it is a significantly better picture than the Samsung Blu-Ray player."

Eric - "Blue-Ray didn't deliver what it promised and HD-DVD has delivered in every area it was supposed to. In practice it's the better, more stable format."

Mischa - "Don't withold those great titles, bring them at least to both formats. Let the consumer decide!"

Dan - "I've compared both versions, and quality is better than blu-ray. But what appeals to me is how much more affordable it is.."

Nolan - "I am a large consumer of movie software and would love to increase my library with tittles on HD DVD. Please release tittles and let the consumer decide which format should win."

Charity - "Please end this now. Look at the sales numbers.The consumer has clearly sided with HD DVD."

Tom - "Its the only way forward. It Works..."

More bogus, ridiculous fudged numbers being spread by Universal. :lol :lol :lol

Anyone remember when Universal claimed transformers sold 190k? Yeah, same deal. Universal would be lucky to have sold half that the first week.

"According to Universal, Harry Potter sales of HD-DVD are outpacing Blu-Ray"

http://www.videobusiness.com/article/CA6515097.html

Sounds like a desperation move and attempt at FUD in order to win favor with Warner. Well, I can't imagine lying would win them any favor. I'm sure warner has the real figures and data, not Universal.

There's now way these figures are true if Blu-Ray beat HD-DVD 61:39 last week.

It's true.

HD-DVD sales of the Harry Potter box sets are outpacing the sell through for BD versions...

as a percentage of the installed base (including PS3s) that are buying the movies.

MrArseFace
lets have some speculation as to why Harry Potter is selling more on HDDVD

lets think...


- More big titles on PS3 so less money to spend on a particular title?
- THe only really big title out for HDDVD that week, so its gets a disproportionate amount of dollars spent on it?

Don't really know, but lets spin!

Also, it'll flow nicely into how Warner will go HDDVD now because of Harry Potter :D




edit: god that linked article is shit. Pure spin. Universal only cite the single Spiderman 3 title for their headline comparison and don't include the box set?

Then Harry potter outselling is suddenly proof that Q4 sales of HDDVD are comparable? No they aren't, they're still 2:1 or higher. How is one title proof of anything apart from sales of that title.
