    Universal to release three Judd Apatow films on September 30

    Breaking News: Universal Announces Blu-ray plans!

    Given Universal's "hit or miss" history with catalog titles on HD DVD, let's hope Universal does the right thing with Jurassic Park on Blu-Ray when the time comes. I think the fact that it's a big Spielberg film is a huge positive for us, meaning that Uni most likely will give it the proper...

    Paramount sets release date for 'Ghost' on BD and HD

    I loved how in Naked Gun 2 1/2 they mocked the "famous love scene" from Ghost. :) Leslie Nielson is hilarious IMHO. Maybe Paramount will release the Naked Gun Series within the next year or so on BD & HD DVD. Regards, Dan

    PIP on Blu-ray, will PS3 be upgradable to do it???

    Where did they promise it *would* be done? There were/are under no obligation to do so. Regards, Dan

    HD/BD Catalog title predictions for Q3/Q4

    Hmmm, seen the HD DVD list for Universal abroad? One of the films I mentioned showed up there. :D Maybe the distributor for North America decided to "play along" so everyone wouldn't have to just import it. ;) The NA distributor will have it on both formats. Though it wouldn't surprise me of...

    PIP on Blu-ray, will PS3 be upgradable to do it???

    Tom, the difference is that the PS3 has the computing power to do it via a software solution. I've read that there were demos of the PS3 decoding and displaying something like 6+ steams of AVC encoded PiP video at the same time. So the standalones need a video decoding chip to do it because...

    HD/BD Catalog title predictions for Q3/Q4

    I was specifically told Braveheart is not happening this year. Though at the same time, another movie in a similar genre which was previously not on the schedule is now "possible". Let's just hope they go with the 24 bit lossless for that one if it comes to pass. ;) Regards, Dan

    HD DVD Sales Staging Comeback-'Planet Earth' Breaks New Amazon Record.

    Psychologically, these types of "buying events" and/or "Blu-Ray Sale on Amazon" have the effect of making people feel good about their chosen format. This lifts sales not only in the short term, but also lifts the bar a bit longer term. I assure you that right now, any HD optical sales are...

    Yet, another Fox BR title delayed.

    Yep, some of you nailed it on the head. It's a big Blu-Ray disc conspiracy. :rolleyes Some surprising & laughable comments from some surprising sources I wouldn't have expected. Oh well, to each his own. Regards, Dan

    Call to Warner Brothers: Give us Dolby TrueHD on Blu-ray

    Tim, have you been drinking tonight? Why would I make something like that up? :confused: Man, some of you guys are way off the deep end. I'm telling you what I did, and I specifically mentioned it in the context of both formats. No matter which side you fall on (Blu-Ray or HiDef DVD) it's a...

    The Matrix COllection hits HD DVD MAy 22!!

    I don't know where you got that out of my post. :confused: I was talking about BOTH sides. Like I said, more is coming... :D ;) But hey, if you wanna call yourself a loser, don't let me stop you. :P

    Call to Warner Brothers: Give us Dolby TrueHD on Blu-ray

    I have already passed such sentiments on to the folks over at Paramount (on behalf of both formats). ;)

    The Matrix COllection hits HD DVD MAy 22!!

    Remember the roller coaster I mentioned in some of my previous posts. Some of you have no idea what's coming... Play it cool and even guys. Don't be so emotional and you'll be much happier and less likely to be disappointed. Trust me on this!!!

    ET, Jaws and Jurrasic coming to HD DVD?

    Not a chance on a public forum, especially where certain individuals may be reading. People's jobs/careers could be at stake, and I must respect that. The RIGHT people know already, and are doing their own due diligence. ;) Perhaps as it gets a little more firmed up and there is a more definite...

    ET, Jaws and Jurrasic coming to HD DVD?

    You know, at one point I would swear I saw this on an internal list for HD DVD and BD releases for 2007. ;) But (and this is for Mr. Glover), "always in motion is the future". :D Regards, Dan

    ET, Jaws and Jurrasic coming to HD DVD?

    Like I posted in the last few weeks, it's gonna be a roller coaster ride. It is unfortunate the way the HD DVD group is treating its customers, but given what I know it's not totally surprising to me. Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess. In this case they got slapped down as they...

    A Conversation with Universal Studios Home Entertainment

    Oh, Tim, I forgot. When Universal releases on BD, I'm gonna hit ya with a "Young fool, only now, at the end, do you understand." :D :D Of course, for our little story here, we are going to ingore what happens to the Emporer after that...HAHAHAHA. :D :D Regards, Dan

    A Conversation with Universal Studios Home Entertainment

    It was a joke, I was trying to get people back to the press release and the titles, rather than the whole combo/pricing fiasco. If you wanna square off with me out back, you'll have to excuse me while I go get my Darth Vader Force FX lightsaber. You have learned much young one, but you are...

    Official dates for Pirates 1 & 2 / Cars

    I'll be picking up both Pirates movies. I rented the DVD of Cars, and wasn't a big fan of it; I thought it was the weakest of the Pixar movies. Regards, Dan

    I still blame the studios....

    I think you've made the right decision. Yes, it is a risk, but look at it this way. A studio supporting one format now, if it goes neutral, is not going to abandon its current format of choice. In other words, if Fox were to go HD DVD, they won't be abandoning BD and if Universal supports BD...
