Can't recall if this has been mentioned... but is Warner going to "stop" selling the HD DVD versions of the movie once their stock is sold?
Just wanted to double check.

Onix said:AACS prevents 1080p output from non-secure connections. HDMI is the only one that supports proper AACS encryption.
There is a difference between analog and digital cables (within reason of course).
favouriteflavour said:HDMI cables in australia are pretty overpriced, theres not really any good way to get 5 buck cables. Ebay offers some but they are way more than monoprice anyway. I see what you guys mean about digital signals, kindalike digital TV where you get a signal or you dont. I will however continue to believe in the placebo effect. Viva cables!

Onix said:There are potential bandwidth concerns depending on what spec of HDMI you are using (versus the cable) ... but otherwise, yeah ... its placebo unless there are obvious issues.
Can't you just order from monoprice ... or is the S/H insane? I would think it wouldn't be that bad if you order all the cables you think you'd need for a while?
favouriteflavour said:I looked at it a while back, it was either they dont ship to Australia period or it wasnt worth the cost. Can't remember which. Either way I feel good that I have everything possible to maximise performance for my PS3.
Onix said:Just wondering, but why were you so concerned about component output if you had an HDMI cable?![]()
Stinkles said:You guys are always telling people to get $5 monoprice cables. And you claim to be videophiles. These expensive cables have dielectric metal hydride woven shielding. This allows the data to surf smoothly from the player to the TV without picking up noise thetans. Resulting in a much better picture with more resolutions attached.
I'm foaming at the mouth right now, thinking about what will happen at next year CES, when Warner will announce all those Blu exclusives to be also reissued on HD-DVD, with improved bonuses and transferts.
Oh, and with at least 5gb more or bonuses.

favouriteflavour said:I got the HDMI cable during lunch (~3 hours ago) because I was damn sure about the restriction over component. I was hoping to buy a few movies instead of a cable if it was avoidable. At least I get to upscale my dvds now. On that topic which dvd upscaling setting should I use? Theres like four options (full, double and a couple others).

favouriteflavour said:ok this is really bullshit now, I cant fucking watch hairspray at all on bluray. I put the disc in and the system just crashes completely. I can watch casino royale, but hairspray not only will not work but cripples the system. Can't even shut down the system without turning it off from the back. Hairspray is profile 1.1 movie but I have the newest firmware it should work fine. help me please, I want to watch my damn movie!
Suikoguy said:Since this issue is not widespread, it could be either
1.) An issue with your disc
2.) A strange issue with your PS3 Settings
It sounds like you don't even have a chance to select the Hair Spray Blu-Ray icon on the PS3 menu. If that is the case, it's almost certainly an issue with your Disc.

Keyser Soze said:I got a game with excatlly the same issue, used to crash and freeze the PS3 when I put it in. When I swapped for a new disc of the same game everything was fine
Some setting is definitely off.

Interesting analysis from Grubert of AVS & Blu-ray forums. Based on external reports and ratios, he was able to get a rough calculation of sales volumes for Jan 08 & Jan 07: (in thousands)

VanMardigan said:Look at this:
That's downright pathetic. Zodiac being the only title even remotely exciting and it definitely tanked according to the sales charts. It would've been 70/30 for Blu regardless, and Blu really needs to spark its software sales. The best way to do that is to get players in folk's homes.

HD DVD defies death as Wal-Mart sells-out of Toshibas HD-A3
VideoScan reports that during the seven days between Jan 7 and Jan 14, Sony Blu-ray has closed the gap by 7% of total discs sold since inception with HD DVD. It looks like the two formats could be at disc sales parity within weeks if this trend continues.

And what if those HDDVD players are sold to people who only intend on using the players as an upscale player.

xS1TH L0RDx said:sorry to stereotype, but i doubt the average wal-mart customer would invest enough time researching both hd-dvd and blu-ray formats before buying a player. they probably saw "hd" and saw the price tag.
