The Kingdom is the Kari RPG movie due to the number of scenes where you see RPGs flying around laugh.gif

You need to get yourself a HD DVD/BD player if you haven't already done so to take advantage of your brand spanking new display thumbup.gif

BTW where did you get it from? The price looks attractive hmm.gif

hey guys, i know this is a hd-dvd thread, and i don't mean to be off topic here. but i just gotta know sumthing:

i saw a demo of blu-ray at best denki..on a full HD bravia lcd. the quality was fricking amazing...i mean i thought i was watching those sony advertisements...you know..where they have this 'studio' camera and everything is sharp and crystal clear? but NO..it was actually Day After Tomorrow playing...then followed by A Knight's Tale, and Narnia with the exact same quality.

now my question is...is this because of blu-ray tech..or is it because it's blu-ray + full HD tv?

what happens if u play HD DVDs on a full HD tv? will there be any significant change as we take advantage of the 1080p reso? hmm.gif
*
I've seen HD DVD and BD on some high end setups and they look identical. Some people swears that there are some differences but not me laugh.gif

BTW what kind of display are you using to watch HD DVDs?

arj: i'm just using a measly 27 inch Samsung LCD..S series (IINM) with HDMI.

don't get me wrong, i think i'm pretty much satisfied with HD DVDs since they totally give a different experience (well, the ones with great transfers at least) and with HDMI to boot, the colors/contrast just get better.

well, maybe it's true the ones i see were demo discs, so they probably had the good scenes going. actually now that you guys mention it...the scenes were indeed crystal clear..but when fast motion scenes..there were some blurring..and kind of a ghosting effect, but very very subtle. kinda funny for a full hd, 100hz tv...so maybe it's the disc?

but yeah, when you buy those great hd dvd titles (e.g. 300, hot fuzz, bourne ultimatum) with awesome trueHD audio..man it's a total experience.

so if arj says it's really no difference...then those demo discs just BS'd me.. laugh.gif

ah well..
p.s: arj, already placed order for pan's? smile.gif oh if you have any titles you wanna sell, just ask me. i'll buy if i'm interested.

planning to buy children of men, the departed when i can afford to. feeling like buying heroes as well..for the extras. w00t!

Try connecting a HD DVD player and play some movies on the full hd tv that you saw. Chances are you might not see any difference at all if you're watching from 5-7 feet away hmm.gif

Pan's on its way to my house already. Super fast delivery. I ordered around 12am Saturday and they arrived in Malaysia last night thumbup.gif

I'm keeping my HD DVDs and BDs for collection so I won't be selling them anytime soon laugh.gif

Yes,that's exactly what I see, but only some games have it (e.g. Assasins Creed and Mass effect). Other games like oblivion don't have......why have it in the first place?????? What's its purpose??? turn it off in the console or the game or the TV?????

The grain effect is an in game feature of Mass Effect so dun worry, nothing wrong with your TV laugh.gif

hey dudes, as u can see i'm such a noob when it comes to audio systems.

after searching..i actually rebumped into this speaker that i thought of getting once for the x360..but it was between edifier m3500, or the edifier r501.

a thread summed it up and said r501 is better, and it's about 400 bucks.

now my question is, since this is supposed to be a PC speaker, and when i look at the manual, the back panel has the 5.1 line in jacks and also a line-in jack.

from the diagram, the 5.1 line ins are for inputs from left,right, center, and heavy bass audio signals...which i assume should be from the 5.1 PC sound card if you're using a PC.

the standard line-in jacks would also receive inputs from anything besides a PC.

my question: for the x360 hookup, i assume that you could only be able to hook it to the line-in jacks. but doing so, can you still get 5.1 sound?

sorry if this sounds ultimately n00bish...you can laugh all you want...i allow it. but could anyone clarify on how the setup should be if i were to use r501 and x360 for gaming and hd-dvd watching? tongue.gif

bro string, any inputs?

thanks man! nod.gif

You can only get 5.1 audio by using optical, hdmi or 5.1 analog. So in your case, you can only get 5.1 if you use optical cable.

I'm not too sure about the tax %. I asked the seller to declare the palyer $150 and I got taxed RM60+ only. If you have a friend is US, you can ask them to buy for you from amazon and then ship it to you. Then ask them to declare the price $100 and you probably can avoid the tax or pay very little brows.gif
