Actually the second Bob Hope release wasn't canceled. That was a miss print but I'm not sure who started it. You can get both Hope releases from Amazon and I've seen them both at Fry's Electronics. BCI Moves to Blu, Cancels Upcoming HD DVD Slate (UPDATED) | High-Def Digest I see now you...

Actually 2 Bob Hope double features were released, "Road to Rio/Road to Bali" and "My Favorite Brunette/Son of Paleface". I have both of them. From what I can gather from BCI's website, they release exactly 4 high def titles, all of them on HD DVD. There is no listing or mention of blu-ray on...

I must say that I would LOVE to see 3-D work. I'm a big fan of 50s sci-fi and would love to see Creature from the Black Lagoon and It Came from Outer Space in 3-D again! Doug

I'm not sure I would call an economy with 5% unemployment on the verge of a depression. When it gets to 30% let me know. Doug

Well this is surely good news. I'm glad to see that sales are picking up. None of the titles mentioned are films I'm interested in other than No Country, but hopefully those are coming soon. Can you say Planet of the Apes!!!! :D Doug

To be perfectly honest the only bitching and whining I see hear is from people who can't seem to stand a bit of criticism directed toward a format that they apparently have a HUGE emotional investment in. They are mostly the same people who thought that if only there was only one format...

It wouldn't surprise me. Like I said Phoenix tends to be a test sight for Cox. Doug

I used to record songs I liked off the radio when I was a kid. But I never made one for someone else. Doug

I agree, and I also think it started even before downloads, when people would borrow CDs from friends and make a compilation CD of just the songs they wanted. Doug

Ultimately the market will go where the general public wants it to go. The studios can't really force downloads if downloads don't sell. If the general public decides that downloads are convenient and a good value then they will take off. The reason the music industry has gone toward...

We're doomed....DOOMED! -Doctor Smith in Lost in Space

Someone should tell the RIAA about itunes which allows you to do exactly what she says violates their copywrites. Doug

Well I don't know about where you live, but in my town Cox had automatically bumped everyone with high speed cable up to the highest bandwidth service. So if you have cable, you have the highest speed available. Now Phoenix is a town were Cox tends to test these things out so it maybe...

I am an enthusiast. I'm a film enthusiast. What format that film arrives in is, with in some limitations, irrelevant to me. Doug

I don't really have a problem of with downloads as long as they make an image file of everything that would be on a blu-ray for instance, and I have the option to burn it to a disc or put it on a flash drive that a player can read. This is going on now with music albums where you can...

I'm afraid to say that I think this might be right on the nose. Doug

For most people they will be too expensive until they are between $50 and $100. It has to be no more than buying a standard DVD player before most people will buy one. Doug

I think one reason some people haven't jumped in is because there are very few titles that get people excited. That along with the price of the players has people saying why bother. I've been saying all along that players have to be under $150 and more realistically under $100 before HD will...

Oh I agree with that, but what blu-ray needs, frankly is a Star Wars or Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park. Something thats really going to sell the format. Doug

Michael Clayton only made 48 million dollars theatrically in the U.S. While it's production budget of about $30 million means that it might JUST break even, It's not what I would call a monster hit that people are clamoring for. Doug

That didn't help combo titles outsell blu-ray before, why should it start now. Now if there were no SD only version I would agree. What it says to me is that the studios better get off their butts and start releasing some good/requested titles on Blu-ray quick, or its going to be a dead...

This is amusing.... 'American Gangster' HD DVD Tops VideoScan's Weekly High-Def Disc Sales Chart | High-Def Digest A bit late, but amusing none the less. Doug

It might be more expensive to sell them, shipping costs and all that, than to simply destroy them. I doubt they would just be put into a land fill. The paper and plastic are all recyclable. Doug

The only thing I can say about this is that Star Trek: season one looks fantastic on HD DVD. It wouldn't surprise me a bit to see Toshiba involved in the encoding end of blu-ray very soon, if they aren't already. Doug

All blu-ray player support Mpeg2 AVC and VC-1 as a requirement of the spec. Doug

They sure know how to make a hell of an HD DVD player. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a blu-ray player from toshiba. Doug

I'm going to. You can get an A30 on Amazon for under $150. Doug

I agree. Honestly I think this war was Toshiba's to win or loose, and they just didn't seem to want it that bad. Doug

Sure they were. But its the reason they were is what I'm questioning. Was it really because they didn't like blu-ray and were punishing it? Why bother to publish on Blu-ray at all? Thats just silly. It's more likely that most blu-ray players simply didn't support things like True HD and the...

Blu-ray would be shooting themselves in the foot to do that. I think its highly unlikely. Doug
