Eh string, have u tried watching hd dvd using 1080i or 720p ?

Hows the quality ? Is it worth it ? Cant afford 1080p display

String is poisoning everyone here with the HD-DVD stuff!

The very post im about to address.

I have a very important announcement. I have just come back from Mediaplex KLCC, that place with all those sweet Plasmas and LCD TVs and projectors. Talked to Gary, the supervisor while i was purchasing the two optical cables i need for my PS3 and 360, and the conversation went to why i needed the cables for. After hearing that its for the consoles, and how im using them for Bluray and HD-DVDs, his eyes bulged in excitement. Apparently they have just received their HD-DVD player, the Toshiba HD-A1, and it's running The Last Samurai HD-DVD(whats with this title anyway, not really top tier title to showcase HD-DVDs) on a Hitachi Plasma they have there. Told him that i just received my Amazon order today, with King Kong and Tokyo Drift, and his eyes nearly fell off their sockets! After some excited exchange of swear words and astonishments, he asked if i could borrow him a couple of HD-DVDs , because they wanted to see how it looked on their 1080p projector room with cinema seats at the back of their store. I eagerly agree, so the date is set for tomorrow between 11am and 2pm for the HD-DVD playtest at Mediaplex KLCC. Asked him if its okay if i bring friends along, he gives the thumbs up. So im extending this invitation to all of you guys to see for yourselves, The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift, King Kong, Mission Impossible 3, ....all titles that i have with me, on a 1080p projector on a screen in excess of 100inches, with the state-of-the-art surround sound, on a 1080p quality video and Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD sound quality.

I will be there between those times, Mediaplex KLCC is located on the same floor with SonyStyle KLCC, you need to walk towards TGV KLCC to reach it from SonyStyle.

This simply will be the videophiles/audiophiles dream come true, all you need to do is get yourselves there to experience it all. HD-DVDs, with Dolby TrueHD, at 1080p, on a 100 inch screen, on Mediaplex's own cinema seating auditorium. See it for yourselves tomorrow, and i'll see you there.

Venue: Mediaplex KLCC
Date/Time :December 19th 11am-2pm 2006
Agenda: HD-DVD Movie experience on 1080p projector, in state-of-the-art auditorium.

im now officially part of the XBOX community! super happy to be here!
just played 3 hours of GOW and its super excellent.

i need to know wether the xbox supports the keyboard and mouse, i wanna be able to play FEAR with it! any ideas where i can get supported keybopard and mouse for my box?

sorry, Keyboard and mouse only use for typing ...

String, do you happen to know how much a HD-DVD player cost? Just thinking if the HD-DVD for 360 rosak going to be a problem to fix it so if I buy a player will save the hassle of getting it repaired.

O/T: Btw ordered some Blu-ray titles from Kelvin. Told me some guy came and swept most of their titles i wonder who hehe

Wish I could go to Mediaplex really want to see Tokyo Drift in action

Welcome to the club man.

You can get a third party hardware to support it. XFPS is one of it.

Even if you use a keyboard and a mouse with the XFPS rig you will not get the same feeling as on the PC cause the game was never meant to work with a mouse.

Well, you are not really getting a true keyboard/mouse experience using the rig anyway.

Its a device to trick the 360 into thinking its receiving controller signals from the keyboard/mouse. Tried using SmartJoy FRAG last time, it was easier to learn how to use a controller to play FPS than configuring the sensitivity on the damn thing.

so basically, its not advisable to get the keyboard and mouse? i wish they did support it, FPS would be a million times more enjoyable!! really was looking foward to playing F.E.A.R though on it!

Wooot!!!! Star Trek Legacy is Region Free!

*grabs his redshirt*

You can still play F.E.A.R, its not that difficult to get accustomed to using the analogue controls for FPS.

Haahahhah being born and bred on consoles I have the exact opposite problem

Took me forever to get used to mouse and keyboard setup for CounterStrike... kena tah pau all the time...

err why didnt i see anybody at mediaplex watching hd dvd in the theater room?
