I guess we will just have to agree to disagree then. The last I checked Fox and Disney have not released any content on HD-DVD. The same can not be said for Paramount and Blu-Ray. Therefore the situation is different. I am positive some people opted into BD due to the number of studios releasing...
The difference in my opinion is that upfront it was known that the above studios currently are not releasing HD-DVD. With BD people have made the investment knowing (or at least thought they knew) what studios were releasing product at the time of purchase. Now after that investment was made...
Well I am thinking about finally replacing my Pioneer Elite VSX-09TX that I got back in 1999 No DTS even. Receiver works great but it is time for an upgrade. There are 2 things I am looking for. First I am looking for a receiver that supports HDMI 1.3 (TrueHD, etc.) so that I can take full...
I certainly wont use my 360 for anything other than gaming. The hardware isn't reliable enough in my opinion. I don't want to keep my 360 on for hours to download a movie -- I would be too concerned about getting the Red Rings of Death. I can't see how this will work anyways when there are...
This will never fly.. if it does look for Sony to try and get Halo and Gears of War released on the PS3 - which will never happen. You can't make a content provider release their product on all platforms
Ok, I have read through all 13 pages of this thread and havent found the answer to a question I have so I will post here. I will be getting a PS3 shortly and am looking forward to the Blu-Ray experience. I have an old Pioneer Elite 710HD RPTV that I purchased in 2000 (1080i component only) and...
Check out mwcgamers.com (Married with children gamers) - being married or having children is not a requirement to join. A great bunch of folks there. Out of the 91 people on my friends list about 90% are members of MwC. Whenever I sign on at night there are usually 20-30 active on my FL. I have...
Wow there is someone else who has been waiting for this title to drop in price. I like the movie but dont want to pay that much for it. Unfortunately this is one of the few Paramount titles that Columbia House does not carry.
Maybe this is a dumb question but here goes anyways. Concerning the HD-DVD drive add on. I am trying to picture how this add-on will hookup to everything. Since it will be a 360 add on I would assume that the video signal would be passed thru the 360 into your TV? If this is the case will true...
Over at www.thehotbutton.com , Dave Poland has the extended cut listed in his top 10 films of 2005. He says that it is a totally different movie. I guess I will have to patiently wait for the extended cut to make its way to DVD.
Aaron, I know I am not the only one, but what I am looking for is 2 things: 1) One common standard 2) The common standard shouldn't give the shaft to owners of analog input only or non HDCP compliant sets
Im in. I bought an Elite 710HD in 2000 and do not plan on buying another HD Set anytime soon. Slightly off topic I have read about a DVI-D to VGA transcoder that can handle HDCP over at avsforum. Does anyone know anything about this and if such a product is even legal?
Goldeneye in the summer of 97. I remember going to various electronics stores looking for discs and got many blank looks when I asked if they had any DVDs. I had to order it from Onecall since my city wasnt in one of the test markets. Things sure have changed since then.
My Pioneer Elite DV-05 that I purchased back in 98 or 99 I think is on its last legs so I am looking for a new player. By reading many threads here I see alot has changed technologically since then. I am looking for a player in the $400 dollar range. SACD and DVDA really arent important to me...
I finally got this a couple of days ago for Xbox. I havent had a chance to play it very much yet but I am enjoying it so far. I have a question about the 'Hobbits on Gaming' clip. When I try to play it the audio is severely out of sync with the video and the video doesnt play back smooth at all...
I have found that Columbia House has been a great way to upgrade for me. In particular trading in my non-anamorphic DVDs (Electronics Boutique/FYE/EBAY) and then selecting more recent anamorphic versions as enrollment titles. I pretty much break even that way and end up getting a better release...
I have been looking forward for this to come out on DVD for some time as well. Also The Nun's Story. I believe Warner has the rights to both of these. I thought I read at the Digital Bits a long time ago (a year or more) something about Wait Until Dark being in plan for a release. Havent heard...
Went to pickup my LOTR disc at EB today and the salesperson told me that they are doing the same trade in promotion for Spiderman. He said that the deal is only good through the month of August. Sounds pretty good to me. Todd
How about more Hepburn and Hitchcock films:
Roman Holiday
Nun's Story
War and Peace
Children's Hour
How to Steal a Million
Two for the Road
Wait Until Dark
Dial M for Murder
To Catch a Thief
Also:
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (WS)
Buck Rogers (Gil Gerard)
Jackie Brown
I think the deal could be great for the consumer, but I have 2 concerns:
1) The main reason why I went with DirecTV was NFL sunday ticket and Dish network doesnt seem to place much emphasis on sports programming. I hope that Echostar will renew with the NFL after the current contract expires...
