Fox is going to exclusively support HD-DVD.

Checked out an episode last night (downloaded via 360)... was very impressed with extra detail and the new effects shots were awesome.

I was going to ask the same thing. My guess is 'yes', but I would like it confirmed.

While I really enjoyed this movie, I thought the PQ was only about 4/5. It looked very digital and not like film.

I just watched this last night and because of this review (and Peter Bracke's) I was expecting a very sharp picture. I found this to be very soft - pretty much the same as David and Andrew. If I had walked into the room mid film, I wouldn't immediately know it was in HD. I expect more from...

Watched this last night and had to pick my jaw up from the floor. Absolutely perfect imo. This is what I expect from HD. I'd like all the peeps that think Pearl Harbor looks good to see this. :-)

To all of you who think this title actually looks good, I have a question: - what size screen are you watching it on? I was very bummed at how this looked personally. Way too much noise, detail only average at best.

I actually think it's one of the stronger Blu-ray titles. I love the look of this film. It's got a gritty look, but the grain doesn't interfere with detail - in contrast to Pearl Harbor where excessive grain mars detail.

It *might* be available from Amazon. They have the regular DVD version released in 2005 and another one with sketchy details released last month - which has some description that includes "high-definition". Although the format still says DVD, I think it's a mistake because the price is the...

Yup, 1080i for sure, but I can say that it *looked* like I had the output set to 720p and the Toshiba was doing the crappy scaling thing. All I have to do is switch to any other disc and there is detail galore.

I find it surprising that someone could be visibly impressed with the HD-DVD of Van Helsing. Out of the 7 or 8 titles that I've checked out so far, this is the worst. There is virtually no difference that I can see between this and the SD version. So many scenes look soft and out of focus and...

Wicked review, David. I managed to see the first episode (in hi-def) and was hooked. After stupidly missing the 2nd episode, I decided to wait until DVD, even though I'd have to settle for standard-def. I was hoping it would be similar PQ as some other great widescreen TV DVD sets (e.g...

I'd like to know where you can find this for under $15... I thought Target had it cheap at $17

Perhaps because not everyone knows how to identify the info you're looking for?

Errr... they did mention that they were changing servers and updates would be sporadic for a while. Besides, new reviews are up there today. It's still one of my fav sites.
