  1. I agree it will be BD vs DLC next. What the BDA have to do is educate people on just how large the movies files are on BD and how long it would take to download that over the web. It's going to be awhile before instant gratification on demand HD content (1080 with at least 5.1 support) is available.
  2. Excellent! One format, One player and a dancing bear. Let the mass adoption of HDM begin! (sorry but I just won the watercooler HD bet. I get a free lunch.)
  3. For me 3 things make the 80's show and any reimaging of it (ie. KR, Airwolf, A-Team, Magnum P.I, etc). 1) the loner characters/group (Michael Knight, Stringfellow Hawke, A-Team, Magnum) 2) the signature vehicle (suped up car, super helicopter, the Van, the Ferrari) 3) the theme music - plays during the pivotal point in the show They got 1 and 2 down. What this version lacked was.....the Knight Rider theme music. The moment you hear the theme music it pumps you up for the finaly. If they had the KR theme music during the car chase scene it would have felt like Knight Rider. Right now it feels like a generic bad spy show. Also there just doesn't seem to be a buddy buddy rapport between Michael and Kitt. That was always half the fun of KR. The other half was Hasslehoff hitting on the ladies when he was supposed to be doing spy stuff. This Michael Knight seems to bitter to be a ladies man.
  4. At this point I'm just glad I'll soon be able to pick up certain HD DVD exclusives on Bluray when Paramount and Universal switch over. Hell according to CC employee (w pics) Transformers BD is already in their system. http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=37276&page=7 Checklist: King Kong Transformers The Thing Bourne Trilogy Heroes S1 Shaun of the Dead er....I'm sure there's a few others...
  5. Walmart to Drop HD-DVD http://money.cnn.com/2008/02/15/technology...sion=2008021511 http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9873029-7.html Largest retailer in NA dropping the format.
  6. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but on the chance that you aren't Toshiba does sell TV's. They just choose not to bundle them like Sony, Sharp, Panasonic...etc did. Could be because Toshiba was already bleeding red by subsidizing each HD DVD player sold. Apparently for each player sold it was costing them a few hundred dollars. http://www.toshiba.ca/web/products.grp?lg=...el%20Television I always thought it was funny at my closest three Best Buys that the Toshiba TV's always had Bluray players hooked up to them.
  7. Interesting. Much sooner then I was expecting it but interesting. The article that thread is talking about. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/conten...7d0bfb0c25aa58d
  8. What Eugimon said. You're in outline not standard mode.
  9. Ow. Not a good day for HD DVD. Best Buy to Recommend Blu-ray http://www.streetinsider.com/Press+Release...ce/3345206.html and verified on Businessweek. http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D8UOBRDO0.htm Netflix says chooses Blu-ray format over HD DVD http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssConsume...WEN388420080211
  10. I'm more then okay with them saying screw the rest of this season. Hell this gives them MORE time to fix up Season 3 before it airs and I think most of us can easily say that Season 2: Chapter 2 suffered from sophomore blues(sucked choclate salty balls) until the last few episodes.
  11. I'm liking this movie. Yes I am.
  12. So close. WGA strike could be over this weekend. Could be...if the draft proposal gets completed before 11:59pm tonight. http://community.livejournal.com/wga_supporters/242895.html http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/wga-...-next-few-days/
  13. Remember the original 1/60 yf-21 thread? Remember it got locked because people were straying off topic? Guess what, this topic is heading down the same path.
  14. Item is being carried by Diamond so that's at least the US and Canada.
  15. You'll have to find someone with this months Diamond preview magazine to see it. I saw it when I was at my friends store.
  16. Diamond Comics has the Motorslave for pre-order. $240 for a 6.4inch tall toy. The figure is just 6 inches, with the armor 6.4.
  17. I bought both R1 and R0 because I was pissed off over the music change and extras.
  18. All I know is that they're giving Powerglide glowy nipples and that's just wrong.
  19. A thread about a show that you hate yet still watch. They stated at the time of the writers strike that Heroes:Origin would be cancelled. That would be the spinoff series that would air when the main show went on mid-season hiatus. Heroes and Heroes:Origin are two different series. Again nice try with the FUD.
  20. Question: flipping channels (NBC www.wgrz.com) and their 5 o'clock news tech segment just reported that Paramount was backing Bluray and not HD DVD anymor. Didn't find anything online about this even on their website. Did anybody see this segment too or did WGRZ screwup?
  21. Rumor re 80Gb version: http://kotaku.com/349559/80gb-ps3-not-dyin...g-reborn-bigger http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars...hock-3-incoming
