    Blu-ray/HD-DVD vs Downloading HD Movies..

    There is no way the d/l model will happen within at least 10 years. Many people don't even have broadband now and those that do will not want to spend the time d/ling multi gig movies and providers will not be all keen to have people d/ling hundreds of gigs a month so prices will HAVE to go up...

    Dawn of the Dead (2004) HD DVD still censored!!!

    so covering a boob shot with blood that signifies violence and death...yep, us north americans have awesome priorities. hehe I for one do not get the point of covering it up but I also do not get why someone would not buy a film because they don't get to see a boobie. Whatever floats one's...

    Spider-Man -films (Blu-ray) on 10-30-07

    Not that I care about extras but the lack of extras for 1&2 is lame. They go off on the capacity of bluray yet you constantly get studios (ie Fox) releasing discs on the 50 giggers and without even the dvd extras. I will most likely order the boxset because I would like to think those...

    **Official HTF HD Formats Ind./Retailer/Studio Support Thread-*SEE POST 3176, p. 106*

    Gee, what a shocker that those complaining in here are either exclusive bluray supporters or prefer the format. So let me get this logic straight...ok for companies to be exclusive on bluray but not ok if a dual format company decides to support hd dvd? GREAT UNBIASED LOGIC. Maybe this will...

    Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut (HD) in September / on BD25 ????

    Yeah I'd guess it will be a two disc set but hey, just slam Warner before all the details are given.

    A study in contrasts-or-someone needs to fire their marketing director

    How people can slam hd dvd for something paramount decided is beyond me but I guess I shouldn't be shocked by stuff I read regarding these formats. Should I slam blu-ray for Fox charging 40 bucks for catalog discs (that often are lacking in features) when other studios are at 30 for their...

    Universal releasing Carlito's Way, Inside Man and Seed of Chucky on 10-23-07

    I'm down for Inside Man. I watched it on hd cable a few months ago and it looked decent but I am sure (well, hope) the hd-dvd verison will look better.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ 300 -- in HD & BD

    I'm getting the blu-ray version since it is cheaper and I do not care about the added extras on the hd-dvd version. Nice to be a dual format owner.

    Fifth Element: Gee I have to keep dvd

    have you watched the special features on the dvd? If so, why do you need to watch them multiple times? Guess I'm just not a special features guy...

    Blades of Glory/Face Off - BD HD differences

    And they have done the same for other paramount releases and the vc-1 (hd-dvd) version has come out on top...why mention one disc that is diff from the norm? If the hddvd/vc-1 versions are coming out superior then the paramount person David talked to is on crack. As for the news of these...

    Close Encounters of the Third Kind - November 13th

    This is great news and here's hoping it has awesome quality and does well in sales and it gets Spielberg (and the studios, etc) to release some of the other big titles like Jaws, JP, etc. As for the cost...If 35 is too much for 3 versions of a film along with features then I dunno what to...

    Cars BD

    Yep, should be a great showcase disc. Shame it isn't until Nov (apparently) but meh.

    Image Entertainment and GalleryPlayer go Blu.

    Cees is correct. It is SIMPLE to grasp that having two formats isn't the problem but having exclusive studio support is. I've said this since day one. when people have preached on about how "their" format was better. Why should studios decide which format is king by basically "forcing" buyers...

    Pressure mounts on U to turn Blu

    exactly. I feel the same way about not caring although for me, I do not prefer one over the other. There are things of each format that I find better than the other but as a whole they both are the same to me and give me equal enjoyment.
