    Here come the lower BD prices...

    I keep forgetting that BD's victory meant the prices would go up & without HD-DVD there could never be lower prices. :rolleyes: Apparently, the studios forgot this too. Warner lowers Blu-ray pricing - 7/11/2008 - Video Business

    Time to start looking ahead to this?

    I'd like to consider this something that will never actually come out, but knowing the crafty Japanese, this just might be thu not so distant future. 33 megapixel Super Hi-Vision (Ultra HDTV) could be on the air in 2015 - Engadget 1080p and QuadHD / 4K can take a step back, the Japanese...

    Region coding....

    I finally got around to adding my Blu-Ray discs in DVD Profiler. (I can't believe I already own 20...) The thing that I noticed is that they are all region 0, in other words, region free. I have a pretty wide range of studios; Sony, Columbia, Lions Gate, Warners, MGM, and Disney. Are all...

    Prediction: Blu-ray blows away HD DVD

    From The Hollywood Reporter 2008 is the year Sony's Howard Stringer and the Blu-ray Disc will slay HD DVD as effectively as Joseph Turok dispenses with dinosaurs. If you're unfamiliar with that metaphor, you probably don't have a PlayStation 3. Every PS3 console sold in the U.S. comes...

    MGM Mignight Movies...

    I was at BB today and they had a couple 5-packs for $40 on DVD. I love all these cheesy old flicks & was tempted to grab them, but since I have a player now I'd rather just buy/wait for them on BD. Has anyone heard if MGM is bringing the Midnight Movies series to BD?
