Is your disc scratched? Which audio format are you using? HDMI or optical?
No scratch, and using optical since I don't have a HDMI receiver.

Snah said:That's just stupid. They don't need to see what the fallout is. The fallout is that HD-DVD has no chance. This was known since Warner dropped the news.
Flek said:its kinda funny that they relase some blurays in europe first (like sunshine - i have the br since early december (!) ) or paprika. Why is that? I mean i cant remember any studio releasing any dvd earlier in europe than in america.
Many have been released early in the uk, and some in japan ( Predator for example ).favouriteflavour said:I think australia got spiderman 3 a month before the states.

The transfer is pretty damn good - but it does get spotty in some places.
I never saw Die Hard 2 before, and it was kind of cool. I never knew that they had THAT many connections to Die Hard between the cast; Holly, the news reporters, CARL WINSLOW!
I wonder why in the next two sequels they threw everything away like that.
Good movie I believe it's the most hated out of all of them, but I like it.

careksims said:Do WANT! Either all the episodes on one disc or 2 discs. Hot Hot HOOOT! Funny my friend got me the dvd box set last Christmas and I was wishing for it to be on Blu-Ray.
Oh! If Predator is on for April... How soon we get Alien and Aliens. I so do want Aliens in HD.
ManaByte said:Anyone have any trouble with Ratatouille? I'm watching it on my PS3 and it loses ALL audio towards the end of the movie.
Just rebooted the PS3 and it doesn't help. All audio is gone in the last third of the movie. FUCK!

i was thinking sure, because its one of the only pre/pros you offer and you want the commision from the 1600 unit!

If this does not have the realta chip 1.5k or lower. If this does then its out of my range 3k+.

Yea i know its the sex, but really its overkill for what i want, i even told him im only going to be doing stereo listening with this particular setup, with almost no plans to expand the setup to a home theater.Onix said:
In reality though ... nothing comes even close to it in terms of features, and its performance (sound quality) is still well above what you'd normally get at its price.
It really is almost miss-priced given the competition. Unfortunately that is what has led to my problem. I was on the pre-order list for it ... and still haven't received one. The thing is back-ordered to all hell. I should get it this month though.
Voltron64 said:I know this is a bit off topic but...
I'm thinking about getting a PS3 soon now that HD DVD is almost dead, and I can't resist Wipeout in HD. Does anyone know when the dual shock 3 will be bundled with the system?

Gundam 00 for Blu-Ray
Scans of a promotional poster have shown up online announcing Gundam 00 will be released on Blu-Ray disc beginning this Summer.

distantmantra said:Probably not, but it could lead to Bandai Entertainment or Bandai Visual USA (particularly BV USA since they don't do dubs and only subtitle their shows) releasing a version over here quickly.
Wollan said:Just finished watching Revolver (by Guy Ritchie). Bought the BD the other day.
Okay.. I will definitely need a guide to help me understand this movie.
Christopher said:Why do Blu Ray discs cost so damn much anyway? (at least retail) I wouldn't be too hurt about the loss of BOGO if the discs were priced as much as DVDs are.
bill0527 said:Because its new technology that hasn't hit the mass market yet and it costs a lot more to replicate Blu-Ray discs than it does regular DVDs. DVDs weren't $10-$15 bucks a pop when they first came out.
Translation:polyh3dron said:New Digital Bits update says Paramount to go Blu within a month.
Bill Hunt said:Just a quick update... the L.A. Times is now reporting that Warner's switch did in fact trigger Paramount's out clause with HD-DVD. Here's the relevant text from the story:
"Warner Bros.' decision last week to start making movies exclusively for Blu-ray players, rather than HD DVD, triggered an "out" clause in Paramount Pictures' contract with the HD DVD camp. An industry source said there was a significant possibility that Paramount would exercise that clause. It plans to decide within a month.
Paramount officials said they would continue to support HD DVD, a format for displaying videos in higher quality whose backers include Toshiba Corp. and Microsoft Corp. Universal Pictures, which has been a strong supporter from the beginning, issued no public statement on the matter here."
Meanwhile, the same story reveals that Toshiba has been in meetings with its retail partners about their continued support of HD-DVD:
"Toshiba said Tuesday that retailers have expressed their commitment to HD DVD during private meetings at the show, which is the world's largest consumer tech gathering."
As to whether or not retailers would abandon HD-DVD immediately, the story offer this comment:
"Industry executives said it would be unusual for retailers to abandon any format so soon after Christmas, for fear of sparking a flood of returns."
The plot thickens. The key thing to note is that it seems as if the remaining HD-DVD supporting studios plan to take their time making any major decisions, which is smart. It gives them time to develop their own plans, to see what the fall out from CES is, etc. So don't expect any more major announcements in the next couple of weeks at least. As we said earlier, everyone take a deep breath, and let's just have patience while we all wait to see how things play out in the next month or two.
Meanwhile, there's plenty of other CES coverage coming, so stay tuned...
plagiarize said:just a heads up... don't expect the BBC to be able to go blu-ray only even if they want to.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6913297.stm
no idea if they'd gain any criticism for dropping HD-DVD or if the same rules bind them when it comes to that kind of platform, but it is something to think about.
i just hope they announce Torchwood on SOME HD format soon.
Blu-ray could win high-def battle
HD DVD backers could switch sides soon
By DIANE GARRETT, BEN FRITZ
The two remaining studios backing HD DVD could switch sides soon, ending the high-def format war instantly.
Daily Variety has confirmed that Universal's commitment to backing HD DVD exclusively has ended. And Paramount has an escape clause in its HD DVD contract allowing it to release pics on Blu-ray after Warner Bros.' decision to back that format exclusively.
Neither studio is ready to throw in the towel immediately, however. Universal is committed to a series of promotions for the high-def format in coming months, and Par has said its current plans are to keep supporting HD DVD, which it backed exclusively in August.
Pristine_Condition said:This confirms something my CE friends who attended CES were telling me. They expected of the two left in the HD DVD corner, Universal would be the one to go first because they were already essentially free to do so. ...Won't be long now, I think.
From what I've read on NeoGAF in the past, this website seemed to give reliable information, but I never personally verified that myself...Gav said:Quick question guys.
Can i trust this list?
http://bluray.liesinc.net/
Basically, im going to the US next week (im from the UK) and wanted to pick up a few Blu-Ray movies that arent out here for a long time. (T2, Cars etc).
Xater said:Summer might be a good guess for Universal right? I don't think it will happen before May, but then again weirder things have happened in this format war.
typhonsentra said:Damn, Paramount will be left as the only studio left? How long is their commitment?
avaya said:BBC is distributed by Warner....this was a question I wanted answered immediately after the 5th. I think in the US the BBC will be through Warner exclusively after May. Europe might be different.
The BBC isn't allowed to pick a side, but in this case the decision has been made for them. I doubt there would be much pressure for them to stay neutral since the number of HD-DVD players in the UK is tiny.
NekoFever said:The BBC is distributed in the US by Warner, as outside the UK they're a commercial enterprise like everyone else. In the UK, they're a public organisation that has an obligation to support any format that's commercially viable (I forget the exact wording), so they'll probably support HD DVD here as long as people are buying it.
