Some time later this week I'll pop the disc in again and see if it takes as long to load. |

Thanks. I'm dying for this disc but I have to wait until Friday!  Good to know that I won't be disappointed, especially since I never owned the HD-DVD version just the SD DVD. |
) and burn the file onto a CD or USB flash drive and do the upgrade that way. You just have to follow the instructions and name the folder in which you put the update file correctly.|

The easiest way to get to it is to go to the scenes menu and select the chapter with the end credits. Fast forward through to the end of the credits and press play just prior to very end. When the film ends, a pop-up menu will appear containing the Iron Man trailer and two additional Transformers trailers.

Yeah, sound-wise the BD has it all over the HD DVD (although some reviews w/level equally adjusted say their the same. Some, not many); just like we all 'knew' Para missed the boat w/the 1st HDM release.

I believe Film-mixer actually did such a test among sound engineers. If there are differences, they are probably very subtle since the BD and HD-DVD apparently have the same aggresssive mix and are sourced from a 24-bit master.

I raced all over town to 6 different locations, which for me isn't an easy task because I don't drive, before landing one at Sears of all places.

I tell you, though, the strength of my resolve and the object of my quest was well worth it! This is one amazing looking and sounding disc! |
