that's all fine and dandy but the upscaling issue does not address the situation with the black bars on the dashboard or on BD playback. what's funny is they're not happening all the time. Sometimes you see them there sometimes you dont. And it only happens with 1080i and nothing else...

Hi guys, I'm having a weird problem here when I play BD's on the PS3. I have a Hitachi 57" HDTV that goes up to 1080i, no HDMI as it's 3 years old. I've configured my PS3 to 1080i and when I do the dash and bd movies display with black wavy lines throughout the screen. When I...

I primarily use my xbox 360 as my main dvd player even though i have 2 sony players (1 5 disk changer, and 1 single disk). The xbox has a progressive scan dvd player and with my 57" HDTV I have it set up through it's component cables. I see no difference in the quality compared to a stand alone...

Am I the only one who finds this topic..... a bit weird?? If anyone should know days and dates for anything it should be you Ron. And you should definately know by now that Rome wasn't built in a day. I guess all the SW films should've been released at launch with the format too.

There were 4, not three.

The PSP has and will continue to have many firmware upgrades. Does that make it an inferior product? Hardly. Blue Ray Player = $1000-$1800 HD-DVD = $500-$800 Both do the same thing. You figure out which one people will flock to. And dont even get started on the PS3. Nobody is going to...

I'm sorry but I think it's rather foolish to base the sale of Blue Ray to UMD sales. You have to consider that the PSP is a 'portable' medium, and a rather expensive one at that. People bought UMD's because it was the only thing coming out for it at the time. How as more games come out, the UMD...

While I'm a bit disappointed in the news regarding the transfer of the original films it's definatley not the end of the world. How many times did we here Lucas say, "The originals dont exist". George Lucas is probably the only director that considers his work a 'work in progress'. I am old...

I've been reading that the PS3 may actually cost as much as $800. Don't count on it being the one player to bring Blue Ray into homes. This format war can go either way so I'm not going to rule out HD-DVD just yet.

I was expecting the extra footage to be just that. No triple dip here. I already have the first release and the UMD.

GooGone doesnt always work. It can leave streaks and smudges behind where the sticker was. It can also make the clear plastic look cloudy where you put it.

Now that these are starting to be released on DVD I was wondering if I could get some help. There is an episode where a blind karate instructor is teaching 2 adult students karate and they try to attack him. He beats them in a way only the Wayans brothers could. Do any of you know the name of...

Michael, After your ROTK review I didn't really care for your reviews. But you nailed this one. Great Review. Great film.

Excellent review. You forgot to mention the full color artwork on the actual disks though. John

I'll just get the one disk.
