The only reliable reports of PS3s "overheating" came from the Tokyo Game Show. Demo units playing unfinished code for hours on end, stuck in a small display case. Not too surprising some should freeze up or crash. It's not about "running cool" it's about moving the heat away from the components...

Some PS3 Bluray impressions courtesy of a translation from Beyond 3D: You can use the controller for BR playback just like you could use the PS2 controller for DVD playback.

How exactly are codecs/bandwidth handled? I mean how do they upgrade the audio codec on their end and on the receivers' end as well? 64k AAC+ sounds really good, even if 300 channels were at that quality you're looking at 19.2 Mbs. That's what..one HDTV channel stream? Do these companies really...

I misunderstood you then. But I saw it as a contradiction. On one hand you said you didn't believe people weren't genuinely excited (fine), but then you said the excitement felt obligatory. Like somehow people are only excited because it's the big thing to be excited about (and it's not genuine...

What a snobbish and insulting thing to say. I don't know what the deal is with the negativity campaign against this movie but for some reason it really, really angers me. It all comes off as "holier-than-thou".

It sounds like very cultish, dogmatic reasoning. I'd like an honest explanation on how releasing a clean, anamorphic transfer of the original versions means not being "true" to Lucas' vision. The fact is, one doesn't preclude the other. Releasing good quality alternate versions of movies has...

I don't understand the details either. Just hoping you could help. :D It's strange that the different video formats wouldn't be interchangable as to how they're written to disc, though. Seems like it needlessly complicates things.

I don't really understand this as all UMD movies are apparently MPEG4-AVC. So how can all these studios have MPEG4 tools for producing movies on UMD but not for the HD formats? What exactly is the problem? It can't be the encoders as there are MPEG4-AVC encoders out there in consumer level...

How so? The CPU is going to be produced by Toshiba, IBM, and Sony themselves. That's three different providers. Not to mention the Cell chip in the PS3 has redundancy built in to improve yields. The GPU is highly derivative of a current PC GPU that has been in production for ~8 months. It...

Anyone seen http://www.anchorbayentertainment.com/index.asp?p=MultipackDetail&SKU=DV13855&PriCatID=3 Think it would be worth picking up?

Wrong. The fight in the beginning with the prisoners, before he ever becomes Batman, in probably the worst as far as being shot too close and shaky cam.

After seeing all 3 prequels I don't understand why Anakin didn't just leave the Jedi Order. At the end of Episode I there's resistance to him becoming a Padawan. In Episode II the Council's still wary of him, plus he expresses tension with Obi-Wan, and he falls in love with and marries Padme...

There's a WMV-HD 720P trailer up at the official site. Unfortunately they had to take out the Dawn/Day images and audio (licensing?). But it looks gorgeous. http://www.landofthedeadmovie.net

You just made my day Travis. :emoji_thumbsup: Too bad it's attached to xXx 2. Maybe I'll sneak into a showing when I go to see Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And...the trailer is out! http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/geor...ofthedead.html It still wanna see it on the big screen though.
