Hey, at least you had a line inside the door. Thanks to the wonders of digital projection, The Dark Knight was being played on every screen for the midnight showings last night. Theater management was loading one theater at a time so the line to get inside after you bought a ticket wrapped all...

I pay 10.27 cents per kWh for electricy. Launch PS3 200W = 0.2 kW * 1 hour * 10.27 cents = 2.054 cents 40GB PS3 135W = 0.135kW * 1 hour * 10.27 cents = 1.38645 cents

I'm dumbfounded that anyone buys BDs from Best buy. They almost always run $5-$10 more expensive than Amazon, Wal-Mart or Fry's.

Launch PS3 consumes 200W max = 2-3 standard incandecent light bulbs. 40GB PS3 consumes 135W max = 2 standard incandecent light bulbs. PS3 at idles uses only 4W. Do the current model PS3s have energy efficiency issues? Yes, they could stand to use less power for DVD/Blu-ray playback. Still, the...

Who needs Disney, Warner, Fox, Sony, Lionsgate, MGM when you have imports? :dev I hear there's still a Czechoslovakian studio that hasn't flipped yet.:D

Sure thing. http://www.thedigitalbits.com/files/sonyhdreport031807.zip Of course you next retort will be, but George, those numbers are out of date. Sorry, I don't have a Nielsen Videoscan subscription. It is my argument that Warner has continued to release better selling...

^^ So even if you allow that concert videos, independent films, and HD wallpaper for you flat screen are as important as major Hollywood studios the numbers aren't materially affected at all. (If you want to get pedantic, I'd suggest looking into the numbers by sales volume and dollar share...

To help clarify the impact... By titles released (major Hollywood studios): Warner is 40% of HD DVD releases (125 titles) Universal is 45% of HD DVD releases (144 titles) Paramout/Dreamworks is 15% of HD DVD releases (48 titles) (source - hddvdstats.com) No matter what advantages the HD DVD...

If you want an honest response, you should post this in the war zone forum.

Is this AVSForum now? I don't think deleting posts was called for. The alleged list comes from a non-credible source on highdefforum.com. Amazon.com has no association to this rumour, it was merely reposed on their forums.

Yes, according to IMDB. Cast Away (2000) - Company credits Cast Away was released exclusively on Blu-ray on December 4, 2007. Blu-ray Review: Cast Away | High-Def Digest The list you posted is a complete fabrication.

Completely false. Cast Away is a Fox title. (Available now on Blu-ray, BTW)

Of course they would. Credit card financing is a very profitable.

I'd recommend buying a PS3. It's a great Blu-ray player that is 1.1 enabled and BD-Live (2.0) ready and an all around home entertainment machine.

HD DVD isn't very scratch tolerant because of the higher capacity. Even worse on some (all?) HD DVD players when you encounter an unreadable scratch you get a bizarre error 0x8^$&*$* code and booted right out of playback. In contrast, Blu-ray has an awesome anti-scratch coating which really...

Ah, the horrors of digipak packaging.

They are literally the exact same cases except with a different color and logo. There are two main types: the snapper (more common on Blu-ray, used by Universal on HD DVD) and the rounded ones (Warner and Fox on Blu-ray, most HD DVD releases).

IMO, Xbox 360 add-on is a horrible player. If you don't have accoustical insulation in your entertainment center, don't buy it. The fan noise of the drive and the Xbox 360 running at 100% cpu decoding the HD DVDs is like a jet engine that drowns out all of the dialogue. If you truly feel the...

Note that you can order Edwards Scissorhands as a part of this BOGO even though for some reason it doesn't show up on the Amazon list. (However, it is specifically mentioned on the Blu-ray front page that you click into the title list.)

Just wait. Blu-ray players will be cheap enough next holiday season in the increasingly likely event that it becomes the next generation format winner. To save some bucks until then, resist the urge to buy and join a rental service.

It works great. On a PS3, I find Cine-Explore to be a much smoother experience than HD DVD's U-Control.

If internet polls meant anything, Ron Paul would win with 2500% of the vote.

Excellent point. The hardware requirements for the formats are virtually identical. Why would HD-DVD be able to achieve any hardware cost reductions that Blu-ray could not? The difference is really is the discs themselves more than anything. Blu-ray developed a better coating that let them put...

Correct. The Blu-ray rebates go through the retail channel while the Toshiba HD-DVD giveaways don't.

The claims in the magazine are false. There are no free Blu-ray vouchers included in the PS3. There are $10 off rebates for select titles, but since they went there, you might want to mention that Toshiba has been giving away 5 HD-DVD movies with every player they sell. Additionally, according...
