A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Adventures of Robin Hood -- in Blu-ray (1 Viewer)

Yes, it's worth every penny.

My best advise is to shop around. A $17 difference sounds way off unless you found the DVD for $2.

The BD can be had right now on Amazon for under $20 (and it's frequently on sale for under $15) while the DVD currently costs $21 on their site.

I'm glad I never updated from the 2.7 firmware then. And unless I have problems with any of my HD DVDs, I don't plan to do so.

From someone who is NOT upgrading all his films to blu-ray, but only select titles, if you found the SD dvd at Big Lots for $3, I'd STILL recommend you buy the blu-ray instead. The improvement is definitely worth the upgrade.

Thanks guys.. you've sold me! I'm going to pick up the Blu-Ray this week.

I'm using an HD A2 as my main HD DVD player, and those menus on The Searchers work fine for me.

The Adventures of Robin Hood on HD DVD is another story. It now locks up on me at approx. 45 minutes. It is right at the moment when Marian is riding away after the feast in the forest. At that point, I get that "Cannot read disc, error 408bc504" message. So, I will probably get the Blu-ray version, as this is my favorite film.

BTW, I took a look at the SD DVD version of Robin Hood after my HD version went belly up, and I have to say, it looks pretty incredible as well.

Adventures of Robin Hood is a definite "buy" title. I haven't seen Doubt yet but am planning on renting it first.

Tried updating the firmware on my HD A2, but Robin Hood still freezes at the same spot. Actually, the disc is rather scratched. It could that it was loose on its hub when I ordered it.

Today, I was at Fry's for a Blu-ray sale, and saw that they still had some leftover HD DVDs. So I picked up a new version of Robin Hood for $8.99, and it does not freeze at that spot. I need to watch the whole movie now to see if it freezes anywhere else.
