If you guys seriously read, I have stopped conversing with g5sim. If you seriously read, you will see ferricide wants to spread falsehood. If you seriously, Xenofreak is cool. If you seriously read, Ferricide has not answer and substantiate a rumour about 2 studios switching side to HD DVD?

If you read carefully, there is no insult unless somebody wants to be funny with spreading falsehood. Like i said, ignorance is bliss.

wooohoo
paramount, dreamworks, andd universal for HD - DVD! woohpeeeee

Wah..... This thread now looks like the bd/hddvd section in AVS before it got suspended for a few days!
C'mon guys, like xeno said, dont flame2 la.
Looking at warner move, i think they are switching to the format which they think is technically superior and accepted by mass (even its only a fraction). By the time bd toppled the sd dvd (will it?), all the issues about replicating cost, standalone price, PIP, mastering should be solve.
And i dont think this will not happen for a few years time.
Anyway.......

Terminator 2 Ultimate Edition will only be on HD-DVD this coming March 20, 2008





It contains various snippets of what to expect while viewing the movie in high-definition via HD DVD.

The video trailer was recorded and uploaded by David Mackenzie, a hardware reviewer at DVD Times.co.uk when he attended European HD DVD Promotional Group's IFA 2007 Press conference last year.

According to the trailer, we can expect the director's cut of the film - a fully restored 1080/24p transfer coupled with dts-HD 7.1 audio - on the HD DVD. Plus, bonus materials including new interactivity and picture-in-picture features.

Great stuff, Xeno...

T2 Ultimate Edition? I want it, I think most of us would've watched T2 > 5-10 times by now, but its still a damn good watch.

Talk about Indy5, with hidef, all the illusion about Harrison Ford's youthfulness will go down the drain.

I can LITERALLY count the pores on Laurance Fishburne's face in my Matrix Ultimate Collection discs

dont want to sound like a sour grape wanting download to take over if HD DVD gives up, but what the heck :
just hope that who ever wins will have enough time to recoup R&D loses before services such as this takes off.

- Comcast has 24mil subcribers.
- Will offer 6,000 movies per month, with 3,000 hidef movies
- Wideband will allow more than 100mb of data transfer per second
- 4min HD movie download (how long does it to to make an Amazon movie purchase?)

Comcast to launch 4-min HD movie downloads

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Superfast Internet speeds on Comcast Corp this year will allow subscribers to download a whole high-definition movie in just four minutes, as the largest U.S. cable operator hastens to fight off competition from phone and satellite companies.

Comcast will also offer up to 1,000 HD movies and programs for downloads in another new service slated for 2008, in hopes of winning back customers and boosting its stock which has slumped more than 40 percent in the past year.

The Wideband superfast Internet service will mark a "quantum leap" ahead of its competitors, Comcast Chief Executive Brian Roberts told Reuters in an interview before the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Conventional DSL requires six hours to download an HD movie.

"Wideband takes four channels and bonds them together and will enable speeds to go up from 12-16 megabits a second to over 100 megabits a second," said Roberts.

Roberts said Wideband would be available to millions of homes in 2008, but he would not be more specific on a timeframe or a retail price range for the new service.

"If it's as successful as we plan we'll roll it out to tens of millions of home shortly thereafter," he added.

Super-fast download speeds could render the debate on high-definition disc formats moot, even as Hollywood studios are fighting over whether to back the Blu-Ray or HD-DVD disc systems.

Comcast is building a library of 1,000 high-definition choices of channels and on-demand programming by end of 2008, and will eventually have more than 6,000 movies a month with more than 3,000 of them in HD, it said.

The so-called Project Infinity is an ongoing plan to allow subscribers as much video-on-demand TV shows and movies as the company can license, with the widest range of HD available.

"We want to make it demonstrably clear that we have the best TV service," said Roberts.

Analysts have said satellite operators such as DIRECTV Group and EchoStar Communications Corp's Dish Network have done a better job convincing subscribers they offer the best HD television service.

In the second half of 2007 Comcast started losing subscribers and said it expects more to drop out this year. Last month the increasing economic pressure on subscribers forced it to lower its cable revenue growth forecast for 2007.

Comcast, with more 24 million subscribers, has seen its share price fall more than 40 percent since the end of January 2007 as investors worry that the company is facing a weakening U.S. economy and stiffer-than-expected competition from nascent advanced video and Internet services from phone companies AT&T Inc and Verizon Communications Inc.

Comcast edged up 16 cents to close at $17 on Nasdaq on Monday, compared with a high of $30.18 a year ago.
