Yes, those were some interesting responses. As was your decision to post anti-BD stuff in a BD forum.
yeah, I know if you post one thing good about Blu ray, or say you like Blu ray, everyone here jumps down your throat and starts attacking you personally, and or cursing...errrr oh you were talking about the Blu ray crowd at avsforum, sorry just skimed your post.
nothing anti about it.

Hey, I just became a Grandfather in June this year - a boy. And I just found out my other daughter and her husband are expecting their first. If I send you my address would you send me two for them?
those are review averages from the hidefdigest website, not the article which focuses on the best of the best. Why dont you post something relevant?

INDIVIDUAL CATEGORY WINNERS
A very tough category, but Peter Jackson's King Kong on HD DVD smashed all challengers, with an absolutely breathless transfer that gives new meaning to the term "three-dimensional." Sure, the majority of the film is computer-generated, but who cares when it looks this spectacular?
Honorable Mention: 'Batman Begins' (HD DVD), 'Hulk' (HD DVD), 'Kingdom of Heaven' (Blu-ray), 'Tears of the Sun' (Blu-ray), 'ATL' (Blu-ray), and 'Ray' (HD DVD).
Not to be overly laudatory, but it is hard to imagine a film of any vintage film looking as terrific as Casablanca on HD DVD. This first-class restoration is so clear you can see every wrinkle on Humphrey Bogart's white suit, and Ingrid Bergman's complexion never looked so milky-smooth. Flawless, impeccable and breathtaking.
Honorable Mention: 'Grand Prix' (HD DVD), 'Reds' (HD DVD and Blu-ray), 'Blazing Saddles' (HD DVD and Blu-ray), 'Superman: the Movie' (HD DVD and Blu-ray), and 'Casino' (HD DVD).
Another very tough category, and our first tie. Since it's always Halloween around the offices of High-Def Digest, our votes go to both Monster House (on Blu-ray) and Corpse Bride (on both HD DVD and Blu-ray). Both of these films are a ton of fun, refreshingly free of gushy sentimentality, and gorgeous to look at. As these two flicks prove, even the most hardened home theater geek is never too old for tricks and treats.
Honorable Mention: 'Ice Age: The Meltdown' (Blu-ray), 'The Polar Express' (HD DVD), and 'The Wild' (Blu-ray).
Something of a case of slim pickings when it comes to music on high-def, but there were still enough strong candidates to stack up the nominations. And though it might raise an eyebrow or two, we're actually going to name The Phantom of the Opera (HD DVD and Blu-ray) as our top music pick. The Dolby TrueHD track on the HD DVD version delivers perhaps the purest musical bliss currently attainable on high-def, so laugh at the cheesy tunes all you want, but when that deep bass during the title song kicks in, it's goosebumps time.
Honorable Mention: 'Legends of Jazz Showcase' (Blu-ray), 'The Last Waltz' (Blu-ray), and 'Manilow Live!' (HD DVD).
Everyone loves a sleeper, and there were plenty of underrated gems that hit high-def this year. But if there is one you absolutely must not miss, it's The Matador on HD DVD. One of the Weinstein Co.'s launch titles, this hilarious black comedy features a terrific performance from Pierce Brosnan and plenty of surprises. And it's a mighty fine disc, too.
Honorable Mention: 'The Descent' (Blu-ray), 'Sky High' (Blu-ray), and 'The Devil's Rejects' (Blu-ray).
Less than a year into the next-gen format war, we've already seen both Blu-ray and HD DVD make great strides in exclusive features and pioneering interactivity. But if any title announced, "This is the future," it was Universal's The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift on HD DVD. The first title to feature "U-Control," powered by the cutting-edge HDi authoring environment, which affords unprecedented customization and access to unique features. Even if the technology was just beginning to rev up with 'Tokyo Drift,' we can't wait to see more.
Honorable Mention: 'Batman Begins' (HD DVD), 'Accepted' (HD DVD), 'Black Hawk Down' (Blu-ray), 'Bourne Supremacy' (HD DVD), and 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines' (HD DVD).
