Re: Rumor mill HD DVD update
man, I am going to go broke this summer. 
Knocked Up on 9/25. A bit fast, but that's fine with me. I saw the film in April and loved it. The sooner I get an HD, the better. |

Re: Rumor mill HD DVD update
Heroes is all I would want on that list, but it is a tempting nugget. Hopefully UHD will play it this summer.

Re: Rumor mill HD DVD update
Man, when are these guys going to release something that I actually would be willing to spend 30 bucks on?
Edit: Outside of The Getaway that is......which I have. Is this version a remake or are they double dipping on the McQueen vehicle?

Re: Rumor mill HD DVD update
Looks like a lot more money to spend on Blu-ray. HD-DVD just keeps churning out crap titles and it's only getting worse.
Sometime's you reach what's real by making believe.

Re: Rumor mill HD DVD update
Heroes is the only one I'll buy, I'd probably hold off on that as well, but I want to see what everyone's been talking about...

crap titles? wow. diff'rent strokes and all that I guess.
I just started watching Battlestar Galactica a couple weeks back (via Netflix) and its some of the best stuff I've watched in my HT in the last 6 years-in other words, ever since I've had a HT. Very much looking forward to owning that in HD.
Heroes will be a blind buy 'cause like BSG I keep hearing how good it is from everyone.
and Erin Brokovich and Cat People are a couple of catalog titles I've always liked I"ll look forward to seeing them in HD.
No a whole lot of must buys for me, but I'm not complaining. With Warner and Paramount they'll still be enough to give my wallet cramps going into Q4. |

Re: Rumor mill HD DVD update
Someone sure has done a 180. There are some great titles there. Tim listed the ones that interest me as well. No way is BSG crap!
Every man is my superior, in that I may learn from him.

Re: Rumor mill HD DVD update
Some good and very good catalog titles in that list, no matter what some might say.
Hero's, Battlestar, Erin, Last Starfighter, and Legend are most likely for me. Cat People is a probability. Shane, thanks for the info.
