So I am assuming that they have gotten the manufacturing process under control? Are we gonna start seeing some 50GB BD movies before the end of the year? http://www.techweb.com/showPressRele...icleID=X514951
I want to throw them on my 360 to see what I can generally expect when I grab one of these players. :) So any screencaps of any HD-DVD or Blu-Ray movies anywhere?

The Hills Have Eyes (UMD) Region 1 • R • Dolby Digital • Available March 6th Thoughts on the Movie If you’ve read my reviews up till now, you’d know that I am not, by any means, an expert on horror films. In fact, the UMD format introduced me to horror films (maybe a better way of...
Rush Hour (UMD) Region 1 • PG-13 • Dolby Digital • Available Now Thoughts on the Movie Chris Tucker is one actor that I can’t place my finger on. He can be endlessly annoying in his tirades and monologues, and yet he can be hilarious when the situation calls for it. Certainly Rush...
The DC Video (UMD) Region 1 • NR • Dolby Digital • Available Soon Silver Platter is the first indie UMD company to start making specialized UMDs for the PSP...and they have quite an excellent start so far. Thoughts on the Movie The DC Video is a skateboarding film showcasing a...

Friday (UMD) Region 1 • R • Dolby Digital • Available Now Thoughts on the Movie Friday is the Office Space of the hood. Or is it the Seinfeld of the hood? Not much happens as Craig (Ice Cube) loses his job on his day off, and soon his friend Smokey (Chris Tucker) hangs out with him...
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (UMD) Region 1 • PG-13 • Dolby Digital • Available Now The best Austin Powers movie lands on UMD, and it’s as good as it can be considering the source material (a 1999 DVD release). Thoughts on the Movie In the three Austin Powers movies...

Rambo: First Blood (UMD) Region 1 • R • Dolby Digital • Available Now Lion’s Gate’s releases have always been a bit simple, but work just fine. Rambo continues the trend with a pretty solid UMD. Thoughts on the Movie I have only seen bits and pieces of First Blood, so it was a real...
