    A different opinion on the launch of Blu-Ray

    It has been confirmed by Amir at AVS that the drives in the Toshiba are capable of reading 45GB discs with a firmware upgrade so that should not stop them adding it to the spec. He is one of the head people at Microsoft working on the AC-1 codec and other HD DVD related software so he should be...

    A different opinion on the launch of Blu-Ray

    I for one will be surprised if 2 million PS3 are sold this year and 6 million by the end of Q1 '07. If you look back at the PS2 launch they kept giving out gigantic numbers for expected sales and as the launch date got closer the number they thought they could ship kept dropping. They launched...

    Ron's HD DVD Review

    PS3 will be Blu-Ray due to the fact it is a Sony product. Even if Blu-Ray dies as a movie format Sony will have to keep it going because all games for PS3 will be on Blu-Ray discs. XBOX360 will have an add on HD-DVD player coming out around the same time as the PS3 for a rumored $150-$200.

    Is Best Buy Souring on HD DVD?

    Not sure if it is going to be nationwide or not but the store manager of my local Hollywood Video said they are going to start stocking both HD DVD and Blu Ray next month. Apparently they had some big conference call to try to educate the area managers about the formats.

    CNN Fortune Magazine chooses Blu-Ray

    The average person won't be buying a Pioneer or Panasonic BD player with prices of $1500 and $1300 each. The sony might sell more but it is still at $1000.

    HD-DVD and the language the studios understand

    Didn't Universal announce Slither for day and date on HD and SD DVD? I have seen several posts about it on AVS but nothing official. Not a "Big" release but still day and date.

    Your biggest issue(s) with the Samsung Blu-ray player?

    Having watched Hitch and Terminator I have had the same thing happen during both films. About 3/4 of the way through Hitch the audio dropped out for a second and the video froze and it then started up again. It did this a few times and then I ejected the disc and looked for dust. I found maybe...

    Weekly RoundUp 1-24-2006

    If this was an error it was sure a big one. They had the price listed on the web site and in the ad three separate times. Sounds to me like they changed their minds about the low price and backtracked fast.

    Weekly RoundUp 1-24-2006

    The $44.99 price for Enterprise shows up on BB.com so it looks like that is the correct price for them.

    It's Official: HD DVD and Blu-ray Can Limit High Resolution To HDMI Only

    They are already cutting features, the last update I heard on the specs had them cutting out the ethernet router function and all but one of the USB ports. All this in an attempt to cut the price. At the recent PlayStation Meeting 2005 company president Ken Kutaragi said this when asked about a...

    It's Official: HD DVD and Blu-ray Can Limit High Resolution To HDMI Only

    Thanks for the info on the receivers, had no clue any had come out yet. Only one of those is in the sub $1500 price range and until more general consumer receivers come equipped with them they won't have very big market penetration. Most people just don't have the cash flow to drop a grand on a...

    It's Official: HD DVD and Blu-ray Can Limit High Resolution To HDMI Only

    My question is how do they think people are going to hook all this HDMI stuff up to one tv? If a person had a PS3, HD-DVD/Blu-Ray player and an HD cable box hooked up to one tv that would require three HDMI connections, my understanding is that soon you will be required to have HDCP compliant...

    Any Hope For These Recently Canceled Shows?

    Would love to have life on a stick, they had I think 5 episodes that did not make it on the air. They are releasing point pleasant so at least some short lived shows from last season are coming out.

    Weekly RoundUp 6/21/2005

    Hate to advertise for other sites but if you check that other major dvd site for "talking" about dvd stuff they have a really good review for the disc that breaks down the differences nicely.

    Sony Pictures continues to drop existing widescreen transfers

    To me it looks like the demand for MAR versions is going down over all. Many a time recently that I have gone into wal-mart looking for a title that has both versions you can find large amounts of MAR still on the shelf and empty spots that had the OAR version. I went to pick up sky captain late...

    Veronica Mars Gets A Clue On DVD!!!

    Is this for sure? The box art that dvdempire has up makes no mention of it on the front or the back and with the set coming out very soon I would think this was the final art. Hope all the music is in it. WB has a much better track record on keeping the original music so Veronica should stand a...

    Sony Pictures continues to drop existing widescreen transfers

    Around here my Wal-mart does a better job having both wide and PS or only wide than Target. When the new version of Dazed and Confused came out Target had a really good price but when I went to pick it up they only had PS and the department manager told me he was instructed to only order PS on...

    Weekly RoundUp 2/22/05

    Glad to hear it is widescreen. When the box art first came out for Cube Zero it had a fullscreen banner up on the top and several sites,deep discount for example, still list it as coming out only in full screen. Dvd Empire had it listed as full the last time I checked, that was a month or so...

    Is cube zero only out in 4x3? Was it shot this way or did they opt not to release a widesreen version?

    Should the WORST films ever made have DVD releases?

    Couldn't agree more. I for one like Ishtar, one of the movies always guaranteed to make the top 10 worst films of all time lists. I would love to see it on DVD but don't think it will ever happen. I do admit that before watching it I lock all the doors and shut the curtains just so I don't upset...

    HD-DVD Titles Announced for 4th Qtr Release-

    I don't think that porn will make a differance as to if HD-DVD or bluray wins, but pre-recorded adult videos are easier now to find than ever. Have you happened across dvdempire's adult site? They have more titles than you could watch in your lifetime. I bet just on the net alone you could find...

    Warranty Help!

    Check in the papers that came with the tv. I think that Toshiba has an extended warranty they offer directly through them that is not all that pricy considering that repair costs on HD sets can be costly from what I have read.

    Weekly RoundUp 9/14/04

    Circuit city list's G.I. Joe for $17.99 on the web site but the ad in the paper has it listed for $12.99. It is in very small print under the dvd. Hope that the $12.99 price is correct. Is this disc worth a blind buy? I like the original show but have never seen this newer version.

    Beware of Amazon "Share the Love"

    I called today after I got the e-mail from them saying I had to provide names and e-mail of who sent me the STL. I told the guy I had no clue who it would have been who sent them to me because I have lots of people that regularly send it to me and had placed the order months ago. He agreed that...

    The Final Season of Buffy Announced

    Dave, just wanted to say that I agree with you that season 6 and 7 are both much more enjoyable the second time around. I thought both seasons had some great episodes, Normal Again being one I really enjoyed. I did not start watching the show till the 6th season having written it off as a "girl...
