I just watched it on YouTube and that was indeed total shit. Could they have possibly found a cheesier voice-over?avaya said:

OK, so Toshiba buys Super Bowl ads for HD DVD. Bu bu bu bu but they're in FUCKING windowboxed SD!! How are you going to talk up a high def product with a windowboxed standard def ad?
Epic fail Toshiba.. Epic Fucking Fail.

What's everyones opinion on Zodiac? Didn't really pay any attention to it when it was out at the cinema, just found out David Fincher directed it (Fight Club, Se7en) I know, I've been living under a rock or something :lol
Sooo, rate it highly? Thinking of blind buying the director's cut when it comes out.

Zodiac was my second favorite movie of last year, the first being Children of Men.
Having Zodiac released on hd-dvd the week that I got rid of all my hd-dvds and my 360 add on was pretty painful. I can't wait till Uni and Paramount see the
light.

Is it more a psychological thriller? Heavy on the characterization?
I'll probably give it a go, its quite expensive tho, I might wait til it's cheaper.

It's coming out on Blu-Ray in the UK. Warner so it's region free. Importing from the UK would cost a fortune for you guys tho I guess.

Really interesting article: Only 9.8 million disks sold on both formats with technically almost five million total player(1.4 million standalones)
I really really hope these stats don't include the free disks!
Did not know about this..

I was getting lots of 2 for $19.99 stuff before the announcement. These days it's all off of full-priced stuff, unless I've missed something.
I was preety happy picking up the tudors on blu-ray and basically paying 55 bucks for it. I had paid a bit more for my import band of brothers<hd-dvd> in comparison.
I picked up my hd-dvd collection on sales so I waiting for one more great blu-ray sale. I think we should be more concerned still about where are all the releases! We have 450-500 on each side...with what another 60-70 coming in six months?

Zodiac is one of the most impressive disc I've seen yet. The PQ is absolutely gorgeous.

Zodiac was shot with Viper HD cameras, so no film transfer or anything took place. What you see on the HD DVD is exactly what was shot, save for the compression.
This, coupled with the striking cinematography is what makes it among the best looking movies in HD. That said, I'm waiting for the BD version unless I can get it for like $10.. I just can't keep putting money into a dead format.

Ahh you got the TV that does the cool 60FPS-faking effect.tenchir said:I just bought and setup my new television. It's a Samsung LNT-4069F with 120Hz technology. I am watching a few scenes from Pirates of the Carribean 3 on it with my PS3 and OMG it is awesome. Unfortunately it also show all the flaws of the SD channels on directtv......

Nope. Only the XBR4/5 have it until the new models come out. It is called motionflow on the Sonys and auto motion plus on the Samsungs.

LOL, very amusing. The mad ravings of the last remaining HD-DVD holdouts get funnier every week. They put on their tin foil hats and try to pin a conspiracy theory on Fox, where maybe they'd be better off criticizing Toshiba for putting out a shitty ad that wasn't even in HD :loldream said:
I could see this if you dont own a hd - player. I think this is a insane comment if you own a hdplayer. Your not going to buy cloverfield,Ironman, there will be blood also?
the ad may have been shitty, but really why would they spend that much on an ad and forget to go HD. Seems a bit ridicuious from my viewpoint.
^If you closely analyze those USA today numbers it looks like blu-ray finally has started having the same attach rates as HD-dvd.
4 million players sold blu to Hd-dvds 1
80:20 software sold-seems pretty cut and dry.
So HD-dvd with the lower prices just needs to catch up on the same amount of players sold to get caught up. Studio support is nice and all if they were releasing catalog titles and not 5-6/month each it would matter alot more, but nobody on the blu side sees the massive problem here. They are obviously losing money on each disk sold so are reluctant on the disks that are being released. 10 million disks sold that is nothing...
The good thing is HDM adoption is happening quicker than dvd adoption, which is very suprising. Kinda a blight in blu's argument that people wont buy into it because of the "war". The war is great advertising because people are essentially prideful and there company has to win.
Still waiting for Toshiba's great plan..

I'd rather wait for HD-DVD to die and get the BD version after that than buy them for HD-DVD now and spend the rest of my life hoping my 360 add-on doesn't break.Nicodimas said:
