Controls seem easy enough, very similar to fLOw which I found very intuitive and easy. Maybe the reviewer is just a ham-handed idiot. Yup my box had 2 earpieces. Don't ask me why but it did.

I got mine from Walmart. Comes with 2 Bluetooth earpieces.

It's the SDCC 2006 Heroes Tim Kring edited Pilot. Was only aired at SDCC and not available anywhere else, believe me I looked, until now. See the original radiation hands guy, The Engineer, see how the burning train in Odessa connects to the explosion in NYC, see Isaac as the junkie he truly is, and see some mysterious deleted footage about Patient Zero.

Warhawks out. Time to shoot people.

Heroes DVD and HD-DVD were released today. I can confirm that they have included the original SDCC 2006 pilot (on the DVD at least) cause I'm watching it right now. Heroes World Tour may also be happening in your city very soon. Europe got IMO the all-star group. I'll be at the Toronto World Tour.

Rebels: Slave Bikini Leia Empire: Wrinkly old men in robes or clones of Boba Fett. Hmmm.....hard choice.

Actually not true. The old encryption algorithm that was used on both HD and BD was cracked back Jan/Feb of this year. BD+ was announced in June. I haven't seen news of it being cracked yet. Better format? Debatable. Better interactive bonuses? Can't argue there becauce BD-J hasn't been implemented yet until standard 1.1 or 1.2 I believe. Oh please. There's just as many crap titles released by HD-DVD oriented studios as there are for BluRay. Go to Highdefdigest and sort by Star Grade quality. On both HD format lists 50% of titles scored 3 stars or less.

I'd add Predator and Bladerunner and that'd be my list So Indiana is still BluRay? Screw TF's then. The DVD movies that I'll re-buy in HD format are still Bluray.

Shrek the Third: Don't care. Blades of Glory: Don't care. Transformers: .....you F!!!!!!!ers!!! Now I'm back to being format neutral in late 2008.

lol! U.C. ftw!

PS2 was my first DVD player and I was the only person in my group to have one except for one friend who had 3 dvd players(Apex dvd player was one. He's the 6-month must upgrade AV/computer stuff type guy. Just asked him what he paid for his DVD players during that time period and he said $200-$330cdn. (this was when the US:CDN exchange rate was $1:0.66). Seeing how the PS2 was $400 and a dvd player it was a pretty damn good deal....and my launch PS2 still works fine.

Eps 1 - yes. Eps 2 - not yet.

Well...it happened somewhere. Were they Walmart brand DVD players or brand name(Sony, Pioneer, Panasonic..etc)? Can't find links to prices of DVD players in 2000 but according to this Wired article the Apex AD-600 was $179usd in 2000 and the Panasonice DV 525(mid range) was $350usd in 1999. http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2000/04/35365

Bad for us. As far as I can recall HD player prices are already dropping apace to when DVD players originally came out. VHS was king and DVD was expensive new media. PS2 forced the price down and helped start mainstream adoption of DVD. Microsoft is backing Universal to extend the HD format war so that it confuses or frustrates people enough to instead of buying physical HD media to start using their download HD video service. So instead of buying a HD disc loaded with features that will play in your HD player from your local store you'll have to pay MS to download the movie, pay for a high-bandwidth line, pay for electricity to leave your computer on to download said video and you'll probably have to pay for the extra features as well.

Reason why we still have a HD format war? Universal's president. http://www.hollywoodinhidef.com/blog_detail.php?id=107

Quick fix to unfocused b/w image. Use Unsharp mask filter.

That FAB Frenzy's already available in North America.

And I just got the bluehost crap page again. "This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota" Ah well, as long as SonRiku is working on it...

AP forums having problems since yesterday.

That Voyager prime. ..... now THAT'S how Optimus Prime should be painted. None of that crappy Michael Bay flames crap.

Yeah it's ass. Most early BluRay movies were ass. I don't think the video bar for BluRay was set until after Planet Earth was released. IMO that's when the picture/audio quality got alot better. PQ and AQ for HD-DVD and BluRay for Sleepy Hollow was the same. http://hddvd.highdefdigest.com/sleepyhollow1999.html http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/sleepyhollow.html The Video: Sizing Up the Picture As I noted in my review of the HD DVD version of 'Sleepy Hollow,' the film is hardly "picture perfect" source material. It's is a very grainy image, with the majority of the film veiled by a thin veneer of jumping, alive movement. Just check out the opening credits -- the film has been so drained of color as to almost be black and white, contrast flattened, and dark areas fall off into black like a steep flick. (All that fog doesn't help, either.) It looks very moody and atmospheric, but also rather dirty and gritty. Personally, I enjoyed the retro feel, but have to admit that it does not lend itself to the kind of truly three-dimensional picture that immediately springs to mind when you think of high-def. That said, technically this 1.85:1 widescreen, 1080p/MPEG-2 transfer is on par with the HD DVD version. (Not necessarily a good thing, depending on your opinion). On the few colors that do appear vibrant and saturated, saturation is fairly stable (though there is some wavering) and occasionally fuzzy. Contrast also exhibits noticeable fluctuation in density and clarity. Detail overall is superior to the standard DVD release, and fine subtleties are more apparent, everything from textures on the film's lavish costumes to etchings in the bark of twisted trees. As for noise, which has been a problem on Blu-ray releases, it is hard to judge here. This picture looked just as busy as the HD DVD, but when you're dealing with source material as problematic as this, it is to be expected. Again, 'Sleepy Hollow' just doesn't have the sense of depth of some of the most revelatory high-def transfers I've seen, but given the source material it could have been far worse.

See this is why I want HD-DVD to fail so that movies like this from Universal come out on BluRay. That and Heroes. (I'll buy an HD-DVD player in Dec. 2008 if Heroes isn't on BluRay by then). POTC missed out on also being five stars because it didn't have the same amount of extras that Hot Fuzz had. PQ they both rated the same(5) but AQ and supplements POTC edged out Hot Fuzz by a 1/2 star each. Extras won it for Hot Fuzz hands down with 4 stars to POTC 2 stars. I agree with HDD that POTC BluRay only deserved 2 stars because the POTC DVD has so much extras on the second DVD that they should've included on the BluRay version.

So Heavenly Sword was originally an XBox game. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/89494.html Somehow I like the original Chinese-themed version...but I'm biased.

Then what do we pay you for?!?! Oh wait, we don't pay you anything. Carry on.
