There's quite a number of us with the add-on player including me. If you have a HDTV you'll definitely see an improvement in picture quality over normal DVD. Once you've experience HD movies, you'd never want to go back to normal DVDs
 As for the movies, most of us here buy them from amazon.com since it's much cheaper compared to getting them from local shops. There's one shop in Cineleisure and one in Bangsar Village that is selling those movies. |

Too bad it cant play all my region 1 DVDs..sad case. But the problem is i dont have a HD ready tv..so it sucks but i tested it on my 39inch wega and also my lcd monitor and the details on my PC's monitor was just amazing..cant wait to try it on my R7...2 months countdown! |

For courier shipping add RM30-40 per title. As for kena tax, it depends on your luck really. My last two packages which consists of 6 and 9 titles respectively manage to avoid being taxed. I used DHL. Most people say that keeping the value of the package below RM500 can ensure that your package stays under the Custom's radar.and what are the tacts to avoid our lovely customs? |

But you must have an up to date PC, preferably one with at least 3Ghz cpu and a graphic card n lcd display that's HDCP compliant. Of coz there's a workaround for those without HDCP compliant gfx card n display. You just need to install AnyDVD HD to remove the AACS encryptions. definitely gonna get it.

hey guys, wanna ask about dvd regions..
what i noticed is that on amazon.com, the hd dvd 'Ray' was written as Region 1.. what i picked up from coldforged.org was "For HD-DVD movies, yes [the xbox 360 hd dvd player is region free] as are all HD-DVD players. For standard DVDs, no." so to confirm, if i were to buy that region 1 hd dvd, i should be able to play it on the player right? thanks guys!  |

I managed to get my pre-order in on 1 July 07. They've also sent me an email confirmation of it. Ordered it with Planet Earth.
On other news, Toshiba's standalone players have dropped price. Entry level now at US$299, which is on par with higher end DVD players. We're getting there boys ..... $199 would be a sweet price point. Added on July 4, 2007, 12:39 pm QUOTE BusinessWeek reported that the HD DVD version of "300" will allow users to re-edit the movie, selecting and ordering the scenes as they see fit, and upload their edit to a server hosted by the studio, Warner Bros. The edit will be accessible to other users, who can download it to their players and see the movie in its new form.  source Added on July 4, 2007, 1:20 pm300 pre-order is up again on Amazon.

300 is now at the top of amazon's hd-dvd and blu-ray charts, overtaking Planet Earth which has long held the no. 1 spot. and it's a good 3 weeks before the pre-order ships. good stuff.
@ arj - u can add items to your order as long as it hasn't been shipped by amazon (as with this order). |

Halo 3 will be selling lots of consoles for MS at the current price point. They wont reduce the prices atleast after the dust has settled for Halo 3 Since i will be in US in Auguest and some rumour said that the HD DVD player price might drop after the E3.

But, it has no problem to output 1080p resolution for HD-DVD through VGA-DVI-I input (xbox 360- dot to dot/pixel to pixel) and the same goes for my PC connection for 1080p (dot to dot/pixel to pixel)on either DVI-HDMI or DVI-DVI connections...so, I am pretty sure that there wont be any problem for your PC to do the same too....for 1080p resolution at your LCD TV, but bear in mind that not all 1080p LCD TV have a great internal scalar for 1080p on DVI input, which currently is limited to Sharp and Samsung Models...and sorry to say that Sony Bravia X is excluded from the list.Added on August 3, 2007, 5:36 pmeh guys,i know that if we use xbox hd-dvd add on..we can only output 1080i thru component rite?wat if i use the player with my pc and connect to lcd tv via hdmi cable,can i get 1080p? So brabus..kat kampung ke now??????? This post has been edited by silencer: Aug 3 2007, 11:20 PM |

QUOTE(silencer @ Aug 3 2007, 11:03 PM) yup ...u r rite.....as the distribution right for most of SONY movie in Europe is handled by different company, and not like Bluray, all HD-DVD disk r Region-free.

U guys can always hook up with a mail forwarding service provider in the US (not PO Box mind you) and get all the stuff forwarded to MY. If cost-sharing, may be feasible. e.g. http://www.usabox.com/

and it is supposedly to be an exclusive title from Fox for Bluray...but has been scrapped and not to be released in US..and thanks to free region of HD-DVD..we got to enjoy it first...and who said that Studio Exclusivity is a big deal...its only on the paper... (thre are other Bluray exclusive titles imported by Xploted cinema to US too..chx it yourself) And from other site..Transformer is expected to hit HD-DVD on 3rd Dec.. http://www.blahdvd.com/blah/HD_Home.aspx NOTE: more exclusive titles for Bluray will be released in HD-DVD by European Distributors, and might be not released in US for Bluray due to cheaper production and manufacturing costs for HD-DVD Added on August 6, 2007, 2:12 am QUOTE(brabus55 @ Aug 5 2007, 06:40 PM) wahh bro silencer,baru sampai kampung..no streamyx!! 1515 only..damn slow..thanx for the answer..i plan to connect my pc to lcd tv via hdmi from my vga card..juz bought a new lappie,and now toshiba news came out..bankrupt la like this... takpe..if your parents can afford to buy a 42" lcd tv for a student like u..i doubt that u will go bankrupt....

Yesterday I was at PC Fair browsing for a new printer, blank discs, and potentially cool stuff (booth babe LOL). Anyway, at the Toshiba booth, I was intrigued by the higher end Toshiba Qosmio laptops, which include a built-in HD DVD drive! They come in 2 variants; the HD DVD-ROM/DVD-RW drive or the HD DVD-R drive. Both models have an HDMI output so you can watch it on a big screen TV. Too bad I don't have an AV receiver that can do Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD

So yesterday I picked up the HD DVD movie I have already pre-ordered. I already know that it will look and sound incredible, based on reviews already out. I prepare myself. The aural and visual impact of the movie is incredible. I tell myself "This movie....it's incredible! No, this is blasphemy! This is madness!" Madness? No, no, no. THIS...IS...SPARTA!!

I haven't really played all that much with the other stuff. Just checked out my favourite scenes, compared it with the standard def side. I'll be on leave for a couple of days, so I won't get to check it out until then. And I still have the Matrix trilogy to check out as well...

The entry-level Toshiba HD-E1 (Asian/UK voltage) retails for about US$500 in Hong Kong sadly. I hear their prices will be slashed soon. The prices quoted from UK online retailers is not much better as well. have to prepare for worst coming what is the market price if possible to get one.. thank you.. U can get the American version HD-A2 for about US$250-299 excluding shipping cost. Or u can wait till the 3rd-gen versions are released in Oct 07. In Malaysia, as far as I know, there's no official products, so have to bring in grey. This post has been edited by terranova: Aug 9 2007, 11:38 AM |

The ship to Malaysia HD A2 = $249 + International Priority Mail 10-14 days shipping = $114.75 : convert to RM (x3.6) = RM1280 still cheaper than any console what . any be prepared to pay 25% (RM320) tax lah . So NETT inclusive of tax = $1600. Still cheaper than any console what |

I wonder if SG carries any official Tosh players .....
rx330 - swim over and find out for us la! If net net RM1,600, I might as well get it here in HK. I've seen people carrying it out at HK airport! Hahaha .... Oh, and if getting the HD-A2, don't forget the cost of stepdown convertor for the US voltage. This post has been edited by terranova: Aug 9 2007, 05:23 PM |

To any interested parties, I believe Toshiba will be bringing in their entry level HD DVD players. Over the past two weekends, there was an AV Fair held at the JW Marriott hotel in KL. At the Toshiba booth, I saw a Toshiba HD DVD player and asked the sales rep. He said that Toshiba will be bringing in the product (plus support) for RM2500. Heck, it was even for purchase at the event itself. The model in particular is this:
http://www.toshibahddvd-asia.com/products/hd-e1.html silencer, one of my first ever HD DVD titles was in fact King Kong. It truly was a landmark title for HD DVD, a visual spectacle for high definition formats. Too bad Universal skimped out on the special features... |

Unfortunately that's how it works here when products are officially brought over. Back then the PlayStation was announced at a price of USD199. When it came here, it's not exactly near RM800 or something. It was more like RM1200 or something similar. PS2 was USD299, when it came here it became RM1599. The Sony BDP-S1 Blu-ray player retails for USD799. So why is the local version priced at RM4,999 instead?

Sigh. I need to ask the opinion of anyone who already has a copy of the 300 HD DVD (and using the 360 as a player). It was only a couple of days ago that I bought and tested the 300 disc. I only tested scene 1 and scene 14-15 in fact. Then I went on my short leave, came back, and wanted to show 300 to a friend. While at scene 14, everything was fine at first. While transitioning to scene 15, the movie started jerking very badly. Then it hanged on me. There was nothing I could do but shut down my 360. When I restarted my 360 and skipped straight to scene 15, it hanged immediately. I also passed the disc to another friend for testing. The scene I mentioned played fine, but in his case, the 360 hanged at scene 17. Now, I have close to a dozen HD DVD movies at this point, and none of them acted like this before. Is my disc faulty, or is there a known problem running 300 on the 360 HD DVD player? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

I owned both 300 in HD-DVD and Blu-ray, I manage to finish the HD-DVD version movie once and also in-movie experience once before my xbox 360 3ROD and I did not find and jerky part or the movie hang in the film.. I didn't have anytime to finish the special features thought. What really happen I wonder , is very hard to tell whether is the disc or the hardware. Did you check with the disc? Maybe you can also check your hardware by playing other tittle too, to see whether it play stable. Sometime what I don't like about HD-DVD is the combo format which both side is playable.. easy to mess up with finger print. |

Ok guys, update: I had tried to call the shop I bought it from (CWF in Cineleisure) to explain the problem. The shopkeeper mentioned that he has not heard of any problems with HD DVD or Blu-ray discs up until that point. He also queried whether I was running it on a player or the 360. I described the full problem to him, and asked whether the store has any return / exchange policies. Understandably, he told me that because such an issue never surfaced before, he'll need to check with his supplier whether anything can be done. I told him that I would lend the disc to a friend for further testing (this was before I posted my problem).
The test results were no better on my friend's 360, so I called the shop again on Saturday morning (after making my first post). The other shopkeeper picked up; I explained my problem to him once again. He suggested that I bring over the disc to the store for checking. I also left him my name, which he recognized. He also made sure to relay my message to his colleague. Fast forward to the evening, I walk in the store; the shopkeeper sees me; immediately brings me to the back and hands me a new copy of 300. For some reason, this surprised me very much, since I have relatively low expectations on how they can help me. Maybe I'm too used to being screwed over product returns? On to the new disc: I found no such problems as my first disc. I jumped between scenes like monkey on crack, sometimes skipping tracks, sometimes fast forwarding, and sometimes by using the scene selection menu. I'm happy to report that no halting or jerking occurred Though their prices are not the best, I'll definitely get more titles from the store in the future since they've earned my trust and respect. |

Glad for u ... happy ending. They'll probably return it to their suppliers for a swap, so no one loses. But that's great customer service. I think I know this shop too .... they're on the ground floor same as Gamers' Hideout?

i think that's the shop cos they're the only one that sells blu-ray and hd at cineleisure. bought my first title there, good service, friendly guy. But i still prefer buying from amazon cos even with the shipping rates included, it's still cheaper than buying from the shop + traveling costs (for me at least).

Sorry, but if it's dvds. They'll pick it up even if it's less than RM500. I've been buying dvds from Ebay, Amazon for years. Ebay most fellas just mark as gift, or mark the value down. So no problems there. Amazon, the price + shipping is marked on the package itself, displayed to the world. Sometimes, packages at $50-100 go through without a problem. Sometimes, they'll pull it even if it's $40. Depends on your luck and that marked price on the package itself. But if you're the type that gets alot of stuff, prepare to get called up at least once a month to pay tax for a shipment. DVDs especially are the type that the custom officers like to pull out and tax. |

I'd suggest forgetting about buying adult titles and getting them shipped to your place. Even if you do get the package marked as gifts, eventually they'll open one to check the contents. If you need adult titles that badly, download it. Because if you keep trying, they're not just going to confiscate it, they'll come looking for explanations. |

ok rx330, we are gonna ban u for all the porno talk. heheh
Anyways, i've got a HD-DVD question. Is the HD-DVD add-on for the 360 "crippled" in anyway compared to a standalone player? I'm thinking of getting one in the near future. Interested in getting Heroes Season 1. |

Back when I started watching DVDs, I was content just using my TV speakers. No 5.1 glory for me. As long as I can enjoy the DVD format on its highest video output (component) I am more than happy.Anyways, i've got a HD-DVD question. Is the HD-DVD add-on for the 360 "crippled" in anyway compared to a standalone player? I'm thinking of getting one in the near future. Interested in getting Heroes Season 1. As for the 360 HD DVD player, the optical output is already a limitation by itself. It can only carry up to 5.1 Dolby Digital or DTS. Not that I'm complaining or anything. 300 and Superman Returns are excellent reference discs even though you're only running the audio through digital optical. Besides, even if the 360 outputs up to 7.1, you'll still need an AV receiver that can decode Dolby TruHD or DTS HD. |

I'm running low on HDMI inputs on my AV receiver. Only have 2, but I have 4 input sources that requires HDMI in. If I use a HDMI switch, does the AVR recognise the source differently? Anyone knows? Thanks in advance.
Damn the new Yamaha receiver at year's end will have 5 HDMI inputs and Sony's STR-DA5300ES has got 6 HDMI inputs. I need one of these!! This post has been edited by terranova: Aug 16 2007, 05:44 PM |

Yup, HDMI switch will work..but on your question "does the AVR recognise the source differently?"....do u mean on audio processing for the input sources or recognition of the input source as there wont be any problem for different audio processing but input source is still limited on what is supported by your AVR..sounds really confusing...but the important is..it works....terra..since u r using it...how do u manage on the the different calibration requirements for your video source..as I believe there will only be 1 hdmi output to your lcd TV..do u override all of the default settings as there is normally only 1 user setting available for every video input source....

the A2 at $299 has a 2 channel analogue audio, 1 optical out and 1 HDMI out. If you want lossless track but dun have HDMI receiver, you can either fork $499 (5.1 analogue out) for the A35 or upgrade ur receiver to a HDMI one

If u can afford it..just be a format-neutral.....u can ejoy the best of both worlds..i always believe both formats can co-exist until the dvd sale is started to cracked down big time...even in US...only small percentage of people r aware of these two formats....

Ok rx..since i am in a good mood...here is the link ....Meet the Venture SHD7000 HD DVD player>>>> http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/25/meet-...-hd-dvd-player/ which people expect it to be ready to be sold by Wal-Mart at price range of US100-US130.
And why Venture at Walmart, The answer is: "Greetings While I was at Walmart recently, I looked at a bunch of there Venturer portable DVD players. It occurred to me that it was also the same Venturer company that was showing a HD DVD player at the German Electronics show a while back. There were photos of this Venturer HD DVD player ..." Walmart have been selling the DVD players from the same company for years, and there is no doubt that they will carry this model too..at Chritsmas.. So if it comes true...dont tell me that it is not cheap enuff....at RM350-RM420 each, its a blind buy... |

Waaah this thread sudah jadi pin-up girl liao ah? nice nice.
QUOTE(silencer @ Aug 16 2007, 07:11 PM) Yup, HDMI switch will work..but on your question "does the AVR recognise the source differently?"....do u mean on audio processing for the input sources or recognition of the input source as there wont be any problem for different audio processing but input source is still limited on what is supported by your AVR..sounds really confusing...but the important is..it works.... Yo bro. Thanks for the reply. Sorry been busy lately la ... no time to sembang sembang at LYN. Yea I meant whether the AVR would detect the audio source correctly if it was routed through a HDMI switcher. Also, because I use a universal controller, I need the AVR to know e.g. that this HDMI signal comes from the DVD player and that HDMI signal comes from my cable TV. Otherwise, the universal controller won't switch to the corrent AVR input source. Hmmmm my system complicated la. Celaka betul. QUOTE terra..since u r using it...how do u manage on the the different calibration requirements for your video source..as I believe there will only be 1 hdmi output to your lcd TV..do u override all of the default settings as there is normally only 1 user setting available for every video input source.... I tak main calibration. Yea I guess if we calibrated our TV to be "perfect" (e.g. use those calibration tools), then no need to re-calibrate for different sources right? Or I misunderstood u? QUOTE(silencer @ Aug 18 2007, 09:34 PM) I watched it at 1080p....hate that grainy effects.....try compare it with hot fuzz.... The movie is like that .... artsy fartsy effects. QUOTE(dhillon79 @ Aug 20 2007, 10:44 AM) was just wondering, have anyone bought a stand alone hd-dvd player from amazon? can we? amazon doesn't ship hd-dvd players outside US. read the terms at amazon. also, you'd have problems with US voltage as I don't believe the SKU is universal voltage adapter. and have anyone bought the Xbox 360 HD DVD Player from amazon? is it better to get it from there? wonder can this work with an Asian console? |

Boss..different sources requires different calibrations....there is no "ONE" perfect or right setting....like in my situation, xbox 360, HD-DVD, DVD, and PC....with 4 different calibration settings..its a big problem with me if I only have one HDMI output from my AVR to my LCD TV....compared with my current setup...with each sources is output directly to my LCD TV..not a big deal...each sources input allow u to tweak the user setting for the video calibration...

Its sort of a redirecting service. They receive the package on your behalf and then ship it to you. It might work for the HD-DVD thing. It needs HSBC credit card to work for Malaysians though.
You can also try www.comgateway.com |

VideoEzy have already start stocking HD-DVDs in their premise. From the cover, looks like they are stocking the PAL/EU version, either from UK or Australia.
Going to Los Angeles and Miami in less than 14 days, anybody wanna kirim HDDVD are welcome to do so. I've run out of slots for anything else, smallish items or hardware, since i'll be bringing in a couple of US PS3s, BDP-S300, and 360 HDDVD addons using my staff cargo allocation. Added on August 21, 2007, 1:09 amThis just in, hot of the kitchen oven, 58 minutes ago! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070820/ap_on_...g_dvd_formats_2 LOS ANGELES - Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Animation SKG announced Monday that they will offer next-generation DVDs in the HD DVD format rather than Blu-ray, a move that further complicates the race between the competing technologies. The move by the two studios will include the upcoming blockbuster "Shrek the Third" and all movies distributed by Paramount Pictures, DreamWorks Pictures, Paramount Vantage, Nickelodeon Movies and MTV Films, as well as movies from DreamWorks Animation, which are distributed exclusively by Paramount Home Entertainment. "Part of our vision is to aggressively extend our movies beyond the theater, and deliver the quality and features that appeal to our audience," said Brad Grey, chairman and chief executive of Paramount Pictures. "I believe HD DVD is not only the affordable high quality choice for consumers, but also the smart choice for Paramount." The competition between Blu-ray and HD DVD has kept confused consumers from rushing to buy new DVD players until they can determine which format will dominate the market. Studios and retailers have been choosing sides. "Spider-Man 3" will only be available in the Blu-ray DVD format when it is released by Sony Pictures. Likewise, people with Blu-ray players won't be able to enjoy the action-thriller "The Bourne Ultimatum," which Universal Pictures will release only in HD DVD. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hmmmmm, i hope this does not mean that this year's sizzler, Transformers, going HD-DVD exclusive. If it does, it's a huge major exclusive for the HD-DVD camp, against the winter release this year. Added on August 21, 2007, 1:19 amhttp://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories....04648398&EDATE= QUOTE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paramount and DreamWorks Animation Each Declare Exclusive Support for HD DVD Movies Distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment Including Paramount Pictures, DreamWorks Animation SKG, DreamWorks Pictures, Paramount Vantage, Nickelodeon Movies and MTV Films to be Released Exclusively in HD DVD Exclusive Program To Begin with Release of "Blades of Glory," Followed by "Transformers" and "Shrek the Third," Films Representing More Than $1.5 Billion in Combined Worldwide Box Office LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Paramount Pictures, a unit of Viacom Inc. (NYSE: VIA and VIA.B) and DreamWorks Animation SKG (NYSE: DWA), each announced today that they will exclusively support the next-generation HD DVD format on a worldwide basis. The exclusive HD DVD commitment will include all movies distributed by Paramount Pictures, DreamWorks Pictures, Paramount Vantage, Nickelodeon Movies and MTV Films, as well as movies from DreamWorks Animation, which are distributed exclusively by Paramount Home Entertainment. The companies each said that the decision to distribute exclusively in the HD DVD format resulted from an extensive evaluation of current market offerings, which confirmed the clear benefits of HD DVD, particularly its market-ready technology and lower manufacturing costs. Paramount Home Entertainment will launch its exclusive HD DVD program with the release of the blockbuster comedy hit "Blades of Glory" on August 28th and follow with two of the biggest grossing movies of the year "Transformers" and "Shrek the Third". These three titles alone represent more than $1.5 billion in box office ticket sales worldwide. "The combination of Paramount and DreamWorks Animation brings a critical mass of current box office hits to consumers with a line-up of live action and animated films that are perfect for HD DVD," stated Brad Grey, Chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures, which is currently the leading studio in domestic box office. "Part of our vision is to aggressively extend our movies beyond the theater, and deliver the quality and features that appeal to our audience. I believe HD DVD is not only the affordable high quality choice for consumers, but also the smart choice for Paramount." "We decided to release "Shrek the Third" and other DreamWorks Animation titles exclusively on HD DVD because we believe it is the best format to bring high quality home entertainment to a key segment of our audience -- families," stated DreamWorks Animation CEO, Jeffrey Katzenberg. "We believe the combination of this year's low-priced HD DVD players and the commitment to release a significant number of hit titles in the fall makes HD DVD the best way to view movies at home." With the rapid increase of HD TV screens in households, and audiences wanting to enjoy the total entertainment experience, HD DVD has emerged as the most affordable way for consumers to watch their movies in high definition. In addition to pristine quality, HD DVD also offers consumers the chance to personalize the movie-watching experience, to interact with their movies and even to connect with a community of other fans. Paramount Home Entertainment will issue new releases day and date as well as catalog titles exclusively on HD DVD. Today's announcement does not include films directed by Steven Spielberg as his films are not exclusive to either format. About Paramount Pictures Corporation Paramount Pictures Corporation (PPC), a global producer and distributor of filmed entertainment, is a unit of Viacom (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B), a leading content company with prominent and respected film, television and digital entertainment brands. The company's labels include Paramount Pictures, Paramount Vantage, Paramount Classics, MTV Films, Nickelodeon Movies and DreamWorks Studios. PPC operations also include Paramount Digital Entertainment, Paramount Home Entertainment, Paramount Pictures International, Paramount Licensing Inc., Paramount Studios and Worldwide Television Distribution. About DreamWorks Animation SKG DreamWorks Animation is principally devoted to developing and producing computer generated, or CG, animated feature films. With world-class creative talent, a strong and experienced management team and advanced CG filmmaking technology and techniques, DreamWorks Animation makes high quality CG animated films meant for a broad movie-going audience. The Company has theatrically released a total of fourteen animated feature films, including Antz, Shrek, Shrek 2, Shark Tale, Madagascar, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Over the Hedge, Flushed Away, and Shrek the Third. DreamWorks Animation's newest release, Bee Movie, opens in theaters November 2, 2007.

Typical MS in buying exclusivity rights over competing formats.
I'm guessing in the near future they'd buy exclusive rights from FOX next? Why? Well since FOX has acquired the rights for Halo Movie, and at the moment it's supporting BD exclusively. Seeing a major blockbuster movie based on a hit Xbox game but are not playable on hddvd and xbox360 would seem abit off. |

For a person with limited budget and can only afford an add-on n not a new console, this is surely pleasing. Cheers MS and the publishers. Might look like the same place, but the "graffitis" are creeping up the walls. Time to bail out. How are you doing? Still shakin' it up in Sunway? I'd say the best option for those on the fence and thinking on investing only one one format, is to sit it out and see who wins. Buy DVD versions first, and use the upscaling features on the currnt consoles for the time being. See which format suits you best (most probably the format that holds more of your favourite titles) and once the "nuclear fallout" settles, splurge all you want! This generation, it requires a bit of fingerin through movie studios portfolios and title catalogues to see which studio holds what movie, and the rights of distribution in which region. Silencer:- AVS Forums are a fcukin' RIOT every single time newsfeed like these pops up! The amount of switching, backpedalling and fanboys rushing from one camp to the other, can almost be hilariously ridiculous sometimes! Fox needs to get heir side(s) right, and quick too....im not waiting any second longer for The Simpsons Movie in glorious HD 2-D no less than i need to. Either camp need to approach the Fox proponents, particularly Lucas. We all know how long he took to release Star Wars on DVDs, and that is one a singular unified format. If history is of any indication, im not surprised if Lucas is happy to sit on his Star Wars goldmine until one side wins, and then releases it on that format.This post has been edited by stringfellow: Aug 21 2007, 04:10 AM |

I didn't think they decided who was going to distribute..... Oh wait according to wiki they did. A few days later, 20th Century Fox and Universal Studios entered negotiations with Microsoft to divide Halo's distribution rights. The original $10 million deal was reduced based on the studios' negative response to the exorbitant price tag. In the negotiations, Universal gained rights to release the film in North America, where Fox would distribute the film overseas. On August 22, 2005, Microsoft's deal with the studios was announced to be finalized, with summer 2008 as the target release date. Can some one say HD-DVD exclusive with chance of region coding on any overseas version.

I don't know if many of you are aware of this, but apparently Sony has sold the rights to the God of War movie to Universal. I realize that the majority of video game based movies are absolutely terrible, but I just found it ironic that a movie based on one of Sony's biggest hit video games could very well be an HD-DVD exclusive and would thus be unplayable (in hi-def) on a PS3."

Not too long after the Pramount/Dreamworks shocking announcement:-
http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/news/show/...lease_Plans/875 QUOTE Aug 20, 2007 at 03:39 PM ET Rounds of snacks, caramel popcorns and supersized sodas on me! After months of silence, Fox Home Entertainment is planning to issue an announcement later today renewing its support for the Blu-ray format, and outlining the studio's upcoming release plans. The move comes after this morning's shocking revelation that Paramount and DreamWorks have switched allegiances exclusively to rival HD DVD, news which has left those on all sides of the format war blind-sided. We've just received official confirmation from Fox today that in response to Paramount's announcement, they are currently fast-tracking a press release reiterating their exclusive support for Blu-ray, as well as providing long-awaited details on their future release plans. Though Fox (who also distributes MGM titles) was one of the early and most vocal major studio backers of Blu-ray, the studio has largely stepped out of the high-def sweepstakes for the past several months. Neither Fox nor MGM has released nor announced a single Blu-ray title on the format since 'Hoosiers' in early March. They also cancelled a huge slate of planned winter high-def releases, including such hits as 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith,' 'From Hell' and 'Me, Myself & Irene,' which have yet to be rescheduled. We'll certainly keep you posted as soon as Fox's press release is unveiled in the coming hours. Watch this space! |

Yeah , but not as of megatonic (is there such a word?
proportion as US release announcements. I await with glee, the day when one side makes a statement, an announcement so shocking and encompassing, that it will single-handedly ends this ridiculous format war. Im not too sure what movie title(s)....hell, any title that can provide such Apocalypse. |

http://forums.highdefdigest.com/showthread.php?t=15516 Fox and MGM Unveil Blu-Ray Exclusive Worldwide Releases for 2007 29 Titles To Debut Packed With Soon-to-Be-Announced BD Industry 'Firsts' - PLUS - Fox's First TV Title 'PRISON BREAK' FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER And LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD and Other Titles To Debut Day-and-Date on BD/DVD -- Blu-ray Out-Performing HD DVD 2-to-1 At Retail in 2007 -- LOS ANGELES, August 20 /CNW/ - Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment (TCFHE) today unveiled an aggressive global Blu-ray Disc release strategy including 29 new release and "must-have" catalog titles that runs through the end of the 2007 calendar year. Among the many highlights of the impressive worldwide slate are six day & date BD/DVD new theatrical releases from Fox including the $241 million box-office family favorite FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER and the $335 million box-office action powerhouse LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD, four day & date BD/DVD (U.S. only) new theatrical releases from MGM, 19 'must-have on BD' films from the two studios' libraries, Fox's first-ever TV release on BD - PRISON BREAK -- and Fox's intention to release at least one state-of-the-art title per month featuring numerous BD 'firsts.' The only high-definition packaged media universally supported by the film, music, gaming and computer industries, BD is the #1 selling high-definition packaged media. In fact, on a worldwide basis, BD is averaging nearly 70% market-share per week of all high definition titles sold this year and, in the U.S., it is out-performing HD DVD by a margin of 115%. "Given that Blu-ray has consistently outsold HD DVD all year, and this is the case for any titles released by any studio in both formats, we believe that the time is right for us to accelerate our activities and help convert the nearly 60 million high definition households worldwide into Blu-ray households," noted Mike Dunn, President Worldwide, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. "By the end of this calendar year there will be expansive availability of technically vibrant releases featuring never-before-seen, advanced BD-J interactivity as well as a broad offering of playback devices at attractive prices that will prove to any doubting consumers once and for all that Blu-ray is the only way." "And as Blu-ray continues to grows stronger, it has become survival of the fittest which is most apparent in the retail landscape where our eager and growing global Blu-ray consumer base has caused a shift that is forcing the allocation of more space to the format that is selling the best. And, in many recent instances of note, top retailers in North America are choosing to promote the Blu-ray format exclusively in their stores," continued Dunn. Among the BD industry 'firsts' from the Studios' upcoming global release slate are picture in picture capability, enhanced viewing and surround sound modes with the ability to mix and match picture and sound, direct access to in-movie features through one of the four colored buttons on the BD remote and the most technically vibrant BD-Java interactive multi-player challenge and trivia games to date. The Studios' slate also takes full advantage of BD-Live functionality this fourth quarter. Internet-connected consumers will enjoy unique, title specific "web-enabled" interactive features and games and "web-exclusive" downloadable content with the ability to connect and interact with other broadband BD users worldwide. Cementing its leadership position within the industry - previous BD releases NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM and X-MEN THE LAST STAND rank in the Top 20 best-sellers - the vast majority of the Studios' upcoming global slate will be presented on 50 GB dual-layer discs with advanced BD-J interactivity and feature numerous Blu-ray exclusive high-definition bonus materials that further realizes BD's incredible potential. Consumers will enjoy the superior video and audio elements of AVC encoding and Lossless HD audio on many of the coming titles as well as enhanced and integrated menus, personal scene selections, search indexing, trivia and other title specific games and high-definition bonus materials. Upcoming BD-J features exclusive to priority catalogue titles from Fox and MGM include an "Alien Scavenger Hunt" (INDEPENDENCE DAY) that challenges players to earn points by identifying the correct number of aliens in select scenes to unlock additional bonus features; a "Global Warming Trivia Track" (THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW) where users must correctly answer questions about global warming to keep the Earth's temperature from rising and being destroyed; and a historical and geographical pop-up map (MASTER & COMMANDER) that tracks the location of Captain "Lucky" Jack Aubrey and his enemies.

Well, to be fair, all these are announcements, and both sides have to keep their promises on these announcements. Once i see both sides fulfilling these commitment, all we can do is wait and see.

Oscar winner expects "renewed interest" from Hollywood. by Stax May 29, 2007 - Although it was dumped by Universal and 20th Century Fox seven months ago, Oscar winner Peter Jackson hasn't given up hope for the film version of the videogame sensation Halo. The Lord of the Rings helmer, who is attached to exec produce the game-to-film, believes Halo still has a shot at getting made. Stuff.co.nz (via OnFilm magazine) reports that the filmmaker "said he expected renewed interest from Hollywood studios 20th Century Fox and Universal Pictures to have Halo made as the Halo 3 videogame will be released later this year." Jackson and partner Fran Walsh would only remain involved with Halo, however, if Neill Blomkamp still directs it. Jackson said, "We wouldn't want to do it with anybody else. It'll be Neill's call." --------------- Link>>> http://movies.ign.com/articles/763/763105p1.html Halo Squabbling Studios fighting over who pays what. by Stax February 9, 2007 - 20th Century Fox and Universal Pictures are reportedly embroiled in a brouhaha over the film version of the videogame Halo. The project fell apart a few months ago after millions had been spent on developing it. The studios are said to be "battling over Halo's roughly $12 million in pre-production costs," according to Deadline Hollywood Daily columnist Nikki Finke. The site claims, via sources, that "Fox is balking at splitting the costs 50-50 and claiming Uni should have asked permission prior to forking over some of those expenses." Universal, in turn, is threatening to sue Fox to get them to pay what they say is their share of the tab. There's a whole other inside Hollywood-political dimension to it that's too long to get into and not really of that much interest to you, dear readers. Meanwhile, Microsoft and production company WingNut Films have suspended development on the Halo movie. ------------- This post has been edited by silencer: Aug 21 2007, 05:23 AM |

Get a HD-DVD player! Probably will get the normal DVD for it. Wasn't a fan of the movie.
But Paramount going HD-DVD exclusive is drooling prospect. Look at their upcoming titles! They have Beowulf, Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell, Iron Man, Indiana Jones! |

I differ. I rather they just decide and jump even if it is not the choice that I have made.
Not everyone can afford to look at both formats for the exclusives. So I rather they stick to one. And when they do, hardware manufacturers can also stick to one, mass produce the player and prices will go down. Video shops will finally know which one to stock up and then pricing will also stabilise because it won't be a niche thing. At least thats what I believe |

I always thought of it as economy of scale. Right now, its niche so they mark up so the profit margin remains for them.
If more people adopt the format, more sales, they can lower the price and go for quantity to get the same or even higher profits. Hard to say which view is correct - whether single format or dual format. But I would say Ori DVDs in this country is more affordable now. I picked up Constantine ystd for RM29.90 |

rx: RM69.90 is normal DVD, not HD-DVD
And that is the price you can get anywhere from Speedy Video to CWF in Cineleisure And I think 300 is quite a bad movie to show off HD-DVD because of the artsy fartsy style they used for the movie. Hrmm..since this is my first foray into the HD-DVD forums, do you guys share shipment from Amazon? |

Press Released>>> http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories....04648398&EDATE=
Paramount and DreamWorks Animation Each Declare Exclusive Support for HD DVD Movies Distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment Including Paramount Pictures, DreamWorks Animation SKG, DreamWorks Pictures, Paramount Vantage, Nickelodeon Movies and MTV Films to be Released Exclusively in HD DVD Exclusive Program To Begin with Release of "Blades of Glory," Followed by "Transformers" and "Shrek the Third," Films Representing More Than $1.5 Billion in Combined Worldwide Box Office LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Paramount Pictures, a unit of Viacom Inc. (NYSE: VIA and VIA.B) and DreamWorks Animation SKG (NYSE: DWA), each announced today that they will exclusively support the next-generation HD DVD format on a worldwide basis. The exclusive HD DVD commitment will include all movies distributed by Paramount Pictures, DreamWorks Pictures, Paramount Vantage, Nickelodeon Movies and MTV Films, as well as movies from DreamWorks Animation, which are distributed exclusively by Paramount Home Entertainment. The companies each said that the decision to distribute exclusively in the HD DVD format resulted from an extensive evaluation of current market offerings, which confirmed the clear benefits of HD DVD, particularly its market-ready technology and lower manufacturing costs. Paramount Home Entertainment will launch its exclusive HD DVD program with the release of the blockbuster comedy hit "Blades of Glory" on August 28th and follow with two of the biggest grossing movies of the year "Transformers" and "Shrek the Third". These three titles alone represent more than $1.5 billion in box office ticket sales worldwide. "The combination of Paramount and DreamWorks Animation brings a critical mass of current box office hits to consumers with a line-up of live action and animated films that are perfect for HD DVD," stated Brad Grey, Chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures, which is currently the leading studio in domestic box office. "Part of our vision is to aggressively extend our movies beyond the theater, and deliver the quality and features that appeal to our audience. I believe HD DVD is not only the affordable high quality choice for consumers, but also the smart choice for Paramount." "We decided to release "Shrek the Third" and other DreamWorks Animation titles exclusively on HD DVD because we believe it is the best format to bring high quality home entertainment to a key segment of our audience -- families," stated DreamWorks Animation CEO, Jeffrey Katzenberg. "We believe the combination of this year's low-priced HD DVD players and the commitment to release a significant number of hit titles in the fall makes HD DVD the best way to view movies at home." With the rapid increase of HD TV screens in households, and audiences wanting to enjoy the total entertainment experience, HD DVD has emerged as the most affordable way for consumers to watch their movies in high definition. In addition to pristine quality, HD DVD also offers consumers the chance to personalize the movie-watching experience, to interact with their movies and even to connect with a community of other fans. Paramount Home Entertainment will issue new releases day and date as well as catalog titles exclusively on HD DVD. Today's announcement does not include films directed by Steven Spielberg as his films are not exclusive to either format. About Paramount Pictures Corporation Paramount Pictures Corporation (PPC), a global producer and distributor of filmed entertainment, is a unit of Viacom (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B), a leading content company with prominent and respected film, television and digital entertainment brands. The company's labels include Paramount Pictures, Paramount Vantage, Paramount Classics, MTV Films, Nickelodeon Movies and DreamWorks Studios. PPC operations also include Paramount Digital Entertainment, Paramount Home Entertainment, Paramount Pictures International, Paramount Licensing Inc., Paramount Studios and Worldwide Television Distribution. About DreamWorks Animation SKG DreamWorks Animation is principally devoted to developing and producing computer generated, or CG, animated feature films. With world-class creative talent, a strong and experienced management team and advanced CG filmmaking technology and techniques, DreamWorks Animation makes high quality CG animated films meant for a broad movie-going audience. The Company has theatrically released a total of fourteen animated feature films, including Antz, Shrek, Shrek 2, Shark Tale, Madagascar, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Over the Hedge, Flushed Away, and Shrek the Third. DreamWorks Animation's newest release, Bee Movie, opens in theaters November 2, 2007.

Been abused (not sexually , but by "friends with benefits" sorta way ) into bringing stuff from the States for my close buddies in KL . More often than not, it's software titles like US games, or HD-DVDs/Blu-rays. If i go on extended stay during the year, like what's happening end of this month, i'd use the cargo "staff privileges" to bring in hardware as well. Unfortunately, quota full already, im bringing in a couple of 360 HD-DVD addons, US PS3s (60Gb and 80Gbs), BDP-S300 Blu-ray players, as well as a few HD-A2 and HD-A20s. Those would go via cargo, the software side (games, HD-DVD and Blu-ray titles) are quite a lot to list down. Suffice to say, i cant wait to collect my Bioshock LE XB360, Metroid Prime 3 Corruption, Warhawk with BT headset, Heavenly Sword and Lair for PS3. Might shop for other additional stuff once im around the Orange County area. The Block in OC has a juicy Jc Penneys and Virgin Megastore i have yet to explore.

That 18 include ermmm "Bikini Destinations" ah?
If you are willing to wait, i can look up the E1 while im in Auckland or Paris next month. I would recommend the E1 over the A2 because of the voltage alone, 220-240V over the 110V . |

Thanks for the heads-up Silencer, changing Top Gun from Blu-ray to HD-DVD for preorder from Amazon. Funny their notification system didnt reflect on the current PAramount exclusivity.

Another "taktik-kotor" by Sony PR agency, spreading the "bad-seed" rumours to the community about the paid-up of RM150miliion, read a challenge made by AmirM, the MS man behind the development of HD-DVD>>> http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread....1&pp=30&page=78 :
Quote: Originally Posted by Goatse View Post we'll find out soon enough on Microsofts financial report to the share holders, You really can't hide that kind of money. ------------ I am happy to have any and all kinds of scrutiny on this. People should not underestimate what it takes for me to say what I have here and to the press. So feel free to look at our financial statements next month when quarterly results are released. Meanwhile, note that that there is not an ounce of counter from BD folks. Paid is here and still not commenting on what they paid (pun intended ) to get Paramount on board the first time. Seeing that he doesn't post under his real name, it should be easier for him to deny it as I have but there is nothing but silence. Ditto for Talk. Just have them repeat the same statements I have made but substitute their company names. That would be fair, right? Quote: Originally Posted by Eternal_Sunshine View Post That was not my point at all. Amir didn't only deny that Microsoft payed anyone anything, he also (here on AVS) repeatedly denied to know whether or not someone else payed the $150 Mill.: This is what I think is very hard to believe. - So Amir, do you still claim you didn't know anything about the deal? ---------- Your question is not clear. Let me separate it in two parts so the answer is : 1. Did I know before the announce that Paramount was going to abandon BD format and focus on HD DVD. Yes. So if this is what you mean by "deal," yes I knew about it. 2. Do I know what check if any is written to them by other companies. I do not. Let me repeat, I do not! I imagine some marketing incentive is put in there based on press articles that came out yesterday. But no one has provided me with a single line item of any contract between Paramount or other companies let alone have it say what money is changing hands. Any deal like this was none of our business and would probably have confidentially clauses in it, disallowing disclosure to other companies. Hopefully this is good enough now. But listen folks, I am happy to keep going if you think it serves a purpose. I don't think it does because the facts are on our side. And even if they aren't, us funding HD DVD only serves to make the BD talk of company support weaker . And potentially points to them being out of funds in getting new deals done. But hey, as I said, if you want to keep going, I am here for you . AND And another "taktik-kotor" by SONY PR that is failed bigtime about 18 months deal????? Paramount: Our switch to HD DVD is an INDEFINITE COMMITMENT>>>>> http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,136253-c...gy/article.html PC World got a chance to interview Paramount's CTO, Alan Bell: PC World: Will this exclusive period extend for a limited time, or is this an indefinite arrangement? Alan Bell: At this moment in time, it's an indefinite commitment. The core of this announcement comes from our experience, and what our consumers are looking for. We hope this will influence consumers' choices." If all goes well, sounds like they may never support Blu-ray. AND Michael retracts some of what he said - says he likes HD-DVD!>>>> http://www.shootfortheedit.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2304 ------ Last night at dinner I was having dinner with three blu-ray owners, they were pissed about no Transformers Blu-ray and I drank the kool aid hook line and sinker. So at 1:30 in the morning I posted - nothing good ever comes out of early am posts mind you - I over reacted. I heard where Paramount is coming from and the future of HD and players that will be close to the $200 mark which is the magic number. I like what I heard. As a director, I'm all about people seeing films in the best quality possible, and I saw and heard firsthand people upset about a corporate decision. So today I saw 300 on HD, it rocks! So I think I might be back on to do Transformers 2! Michael Bay ---- -ahhahahha.. we dont need u in transformer 2...... So...for Sony PR..my advise...stop the PR bull-shit..and instead go tell FOx....pls dont betray us like what those two buys had done to US.... NOTE: - When studio r behind SOny..the fanboy claims that is because of the superiority of BD technology itself...but when they move to HD-DVD, those fanboys keep pointing their finger with all sorts of accusations .... without even taking into consideration that real benefits of development and manufacturing cost for HD-DVD.. "NUFF SAID...and ass an add on..the fact that in this chritsmas>>tonnes of China made with the lowest price possible of HD-DVD players will be waiting in Walmart....

So whatever Sony does is taktik kotor and whatever MS does is good for the consumers?
I seriously feel appaled by certain fanboys who felt proud when they get exclusives, where else certain group of ppl have been denied of choices just bcoz some studios decide to support one format instead of two. Not everyone can afford both HD formats. It's not just about which format is more superior or cheaper, it's about choices, and damn it every consumers have their rights to choose whichever format they believe in. That's why i don't see anything lame about if a consumer still decide to stick to plain old DVD instead of any of the HD formats, coz the format wars at the moment confuses most consumers even more than before. |

Before i make the purchase, i'll PM you back, or SMS you while im at the store (SMS still OK, calling.....a bit expensive @string, tomolo collection will be 19, including bikini destinations, JAV bluray(amateur sex photography), and debbie does dallass... again how much would the E1 cost? sigh.. in a tight budget now, i need a golf set..... so for games/software how to tumpang? order from amazon and send to your california? ) the items available, and at what prices. If you agree on the price then ill make the over the counter purchase. If you are talking about Amazon purchase, then send over to my Newport home, that would the most ideal, since shipping through Amazon is free over continental US. First things first, write me a list, then we figure out the best way to do it, agree?As for the E1, it was on promo sale in Switzerland he last time i got it there, for 300 Euros. I suspect they are clearing it for the nw upcoming Toshiba models, and the rumored 3rd gen. players. Update you next month once im there? QUOTE(MK84 @ Aug 22 2007, 11:04 AM) Guys, any recommendation for HD-DVD/BD for demo purpose? My personal recommendation. The list at AVSForum is pretty much the reference list IMO. Animated features usually takes the cake when it comes to PQ, so on both Blu-ray and HD-DVDs, you can try Ice Age 2:Meltdown, Open Season, Corpse Bride, Ant Bully, or Happy Feet . Personally, between those 5, i only like Corpse Bride. Then there is live-action features. For HD-DVD, Hot Fuzz takes the crown for , not just for PQ, but for its humongous 18 hours + extras! For Blu-ray, there are 2 options. Pirates of Caribbean Dead Man's Chest or Crank. The former , besides having the cleanest transfer on any Blu-ray disc, also has the BD-Java game of Liar's Dice, while the latter, Crank, is shot using modified HD camera to achieve that "video-like" look. Notice it's "video-like" not "film-like", once you compare between Crank and other live action movies you will see this difference. Unfortunately, Crank is not so suitable for public viewing, with a few scenes depicting nudity and inappropiate "conducts" in public, as well as gratuitous violence. All these recommendations, will be superseeded this September, once Nature's Journey arrives on HD-DVD and Blu-ray. On both format , it will sport the highest recorded video bitrate ever for any titles for each of their format, with Blu-ray, having the current advantage of extra capacity, sporting the highest video bitrate of 37Mbps throughout the "journey". Here is the product description of the title:- QUOTE Escape to a mysterious inner universe where nature and imagination meet to form a realm of extraordinary beauty. Let Nature's Journey unleash a brand new sensory experience in a genre-bending mix of location filming, subtle computer-generated imagery, exotic musical soundscapes and artistic graphic enhancements that draws you deep into the magical heart of our planet Earth. Produced in High Definition by Video Artist John Banks and featuring a 96/24 Soundtrack by Michael Stearns, Nature's Journey is a sensation of natural sights and sounds transformed by the unique artistry of these visionary filmmakers. Here are the specs for both Blu-ray and HD-DVD versions:-DIGITAL REFERENCE SERIES Digital Reference Standard Ultra High Fidelity Picture & Sound The Digital Reference Standard is your guarantee of R&B Films' commitment to the highest attainable quality in home entertainment. Each disc is mastered for the best possible reproduction of video and audio, routinely surpassing today's standards in our ongoing pursuit of the ultimate entertainment experience. The process begins with the source material. Digital content arrives pristine, while analog material is processed through a series of procedures designed to maintain the integrity and purity of the signal. In addition, wherever possible, an extremely high sampling rate of 24bits/96kHz is utilized to preserve audio resolution for multi-channel sound. DRS also takes the aesthetics into consideration: original film and recording elements are used whenever available -- with mastering often supervised by the original filmmakers -- to ensure the original artistic vision is honored and, if possible, enhanced throughout the entire process. R&B Films works closely with industry-leading engineers and facilities to create a digital master with video and audio fidelity rendered at its absolute zenith. This devotion to detail continues through the authoring and replication processes to arrive at a finished disc capable of presenting the full aural and visual impact intended by its creators.

I'm with zio on DHL. I've had good results with them so far. Its the only courier service that I've had no problems with customs, which is a big plus since I ship in stuff every month.
The only downside with DHL is their rates are much more expensive especially if you ship items from US. This post has been edited by MK84: Aug 23 2007, 10:34 AM |

I've used DHL, Fedex, UPS, US Postal Service, hand carried by colleague (read member pergi NY buy some Apple & Grado stuff)
Hand carried is best, if you can trust the fella, and he can get your stuff past customs. But for other choices of couriers, DHL is the best, and i have nothing but problems with Fedex. The DHL folks are more likely to want to release your package faster and without any drama, while the Fedex guys are too "lurus" to even consider bending the rules. It is the other way round in the States though. Maybe it's cnfined to where my place is , but in Newport, the Fedex guys are the most reliable ones around, while the UPS are the crappiest. DHL is somewhere in between. Got a few of my ordered stuff online from Crutchfield, Vans and even Amazon shipped overnight by the Fedex folks, so i have no complaints there. Rx330, im going to Paris tonight, MH20 this midnight, maybe i can squeeze in a little extra time trawling Champ Elysees and other shopping district here to see if the Toshiba deal is still on. Historically, online deals are the cheapest since they dont have to deal with operating cost from a storefront, bu occasionally there are stores who got wind of new stocks coming out and got into gear with clearance sale of their own. It can look like a firesale sometimes, espcially during Black Friday in the States, but it's nothing to worry about, it is legit, it is warranty covered, and it is normal to see prices drop to such levels. However, i cant promse i can look around Paris for the deal, got a pretty busy day in Disneyland Paris. Annual Passholder privileges, they're rolling the red carpet for Ratatouille screening inside Walt Disney Studios .I'll try and see if i can get away after the screening to go downtown Paris, yah? Next month schedule like this. MH131 Auckland 09/18-09/20, MH20 Paris 09/23-09/26. Got another Tokyo coming after that, but Akihabara shopping is pretty pricey, from what i've looked around.

What JAV Blu-ray titles? Can PM me aaa? I'll go look see look see when im there.
No worries lah, RX330, i can go look tomorrow once im there, and then see if the price is right for you. Im coming back Paris next month, so you can have plenty of time to decide by then. Silencer, There are rumors rumbling on a huge announcement to benefit the BDA, from one of the post in the BD section at AVSForum. Speculations from Warner going BD exclusive, New Line going BD exclusive, to Walmart going to sell BD players ONLY exclusively too. Now, the Walmart thing is not to be taken lightly, since they cover the retail superstore sections pretty extensively in the States. |

Added on August 23, 2007, 5:38 pmUniversal Comments on Paramount's Decision Quote: "To me it is a validation of a strategic stance we have taken, and I am so pleased that Paramount and DreamWorks have done as thorough an evaluation as they have done and come to the same exactly conclusion that we did long ago, which is that with HD DVD we have a format that offers the best and most affordable consumer experience," said Craig Kornblau, president of Universal Studios Home Entertainment. >>> http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/...7e24e642?imw=Y The statement that kill the rumour by BD camp..that Universal will be the BD exclusive only on response with the Paramount decisions... Added on August 23, 2007, 5:51 pmSomething for us to chew.....the main reason behind the defection of paramount>>>> http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070...d-dvd-coup.html Brief excerpt: - "The end result of their testing, Bell told me, was the assessment that HD DVD is simply a "very consistent, stable specification." He said that all HD DVD players have had to meet the same specifications and that, in his estimation, HD DVD's specifications are more suited for the current market. Blu-ray, on the other hand, has been a moving target, and this could end up hurting early adopters who might be chagrined to find significance differences between players. For instance, Bell expressed appreciation for the fact that all HD DVD players support a minimum standard of connectivity and interactive features, something which is not true for Blu-ray. He also noted that the moving feature set on Blu-ray players meant that programming for interactive content could not be done in a way that was guaranteed to work with all Blu-ray players. A feature present on one might be absent in another. Praising Microsoft's HDi interactivity platform, Bell said it was "very full, with a very wide scope," yet it was easy to work with and would provide a consistent experience regardless of HD DVD player used. Bell also considers HD DVD's heritage to be an asset; coming out of the DVD Forum, HD DVD was designed to be the true successor to DVD, and Bell noted that HD DVD was indeed less expensive to manufacture using already existing manufacturing techniques." Read the rest in the link........given.. ----------- And..on the economic tsandpoitn of HD-DVD manufacturing costs: http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/har...ext-gen-dvd.ars Exerpt: "The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) has long asserted that its Blu-ray (BD) format is superior to the rival HD DVD format, and BD's "revolutionary" buzz has understandably caught the fancy of certain technologists. But CEOs should be wary, because what the BDA does not sufficiently address is what lies behind those assertions. The numbers are stark: manufacturing BD discs will require an estimated US$1.7 million cost per manufacturing line. Per line! Then, each major manufacturing facility would require the implementation of a minimum of two mastering systems, at a minimum cost of US$2 million per system. DVD, at the height of its success, resulted in an estimated 600 manufacturing lines globally. Even allowing for a decline in systems costs over time as the manufacturing base expanded, the tab for radically overhauling the media manufacturing industry would approach a billion dollars worldwide or more. Already-beleaguered CFOs will be challenged to raise-and risk-this significant amount of capital. Compare this to the estimated cost of retooling for the HD DVD format compared to BD. HD DVD is able to utilize virtually the entire existing manufacturing infrastructure. The cost of upgrading an existing DVD line is about US$150,000-less than a tenth the cost of a BD line. A DVD mastering system can be upgraded for US$145,000. Basically, HD DVD is a DVD-9-a version of DVD we have enormous manufacturing experience with already-with a denser pit structure."

He claimed quoting sources from unknown insider that Warner ane New Line will announce exclusive HD DVD support (note that they are already semi exclusive to HD DVD currently) the latest this friday. A figure of $225mil had been thrown around to be the payout figure for Warner's decision. Beatboy was a fantatic BD fanboy and for him to say that caused a unease at blu-ray.com.

I was just reading the Michael Bay thread on the BD forum. They worshipped him like a god and then later said he was bought out or threatened with legal suit by Paramount.

Toshiba's crappy website only has the HD-E1 listed. Seriously, why can't they make a more presentable web page. Its almost embarrassing.

Toshiba has individual site for its products:http://www.regzalcdtv.com/ = Toshiba HDTV http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/hddvd/ = HD DVD Hmm the news that we have been waiting for. Toshiba finally released the HD E1 HD DVD player in Malaysia. It is not listed on the corporation official site:  albeit with the maximum output resolution of 1080i the player will surely beat the best unconvert players available in the Malaysian market. And with the majority of HDTVs sold and on the market are 1080i and 720p, it is logical to launch the model here. Higher end models equivalent to the US models of A20 and XA2 were not announced concurrently. An attempt to get the official Suggested Retail Price were fruitless |

Press details on todays newspaper. I did not manage to read the papers today and a call to Toshiba's hotline were unanswered. Therefore this 3 FREE HD DVD news is currently 'unconfirmed'. An attempt to get the official Suggested Retail Price were fruitless PrivateJohn : thread merged & PLEASE stop making new thread for every single news.

Im gonna wait and see how the Gen3 players do irst before taking the plunge agan. Should this happens, someone's gonna be pretty lucky to get the E1 im selling below RM900. Not al this RM2499 overpriced crap. Guess that clearane sale in Zurich has its silver lining.
G5sim, giddy as a schoolgirl i am! Either way, the consumers are the winners here. Right, off to pack the luggages. Those who had your "tumpang item" listed with me, i'll update their status to you via PM once im there. The luggages are going to be really empty on the way back. |

Well unless the SHD7000 will have 1080p .The SHD7000, Spec: the company said, will feature: HDMI connection which will upconvert standard DVD to "near-HD-picture quality," Ethernet connectivity (one that the $1499 Pioneer player did not offer) Dolby TrueHD sound CD playback (one that the $1499 Pioneer player did not offer) http://www.dealerscope.com/story/story.bsp...section=Unknown At the Consumer Electronics Show in January, word got out about a potential new HD DVD player, made in China and sold inexpensively, coming to market by the end of the year. On Tuesday, word came that that player is on the way: Canadian company Venturer Electronics will release the player, called the SHD7000, to the North American market. The SHD7000, the company said, will feature an HDMI connection which will upconvert standard DVD to "near-HD-picture quality," as well as Ethernet connectivity, Dolby TrueHD sound, and CD playback. The new player joins various offerings from primary HD DVD backer Toshiba, as well as Onkyo's DV-HD805, which is set for release this fall, and Microsoft's Xbox drive as HD DVD-only players. LG has already released a dual-format player, and one is on the way from Samsung. No pricing information, or specific release date, was announced for the product.  3This post has been edited by g5sim: Aug 29 2007, 03:50 AM |

haha - it is official. the press release is now posted on Venturer's new website and they are touting the player to be priced at the MOST ENTRY LEVEL than the currently available HD DVD player. no wonder PAramount and Dreamworks jump ship
and no wonder Warner so called 'postponed' its TotalHD disks. I bet we wont see any of the TotalHD disks in retail shelfs official site link: http://venturer.com/news-details.aspx?id=15 discussions in the Audiophile thread - link above Added on August 29, 2007, 6:35 amhttp://gear.ign.com/articles/816/816439p1.html Amazon Offers 8 Free Movies with HD-DVD Hardware August 28, 2007 - Word is getting around today that Amazon.com has gotten a bit more aggressive in moving dedicated HD-DVD hardware. Purchasers of the Toshiba HD-A2 ($239), HD-A20 ($329), or HD-XA2 ($570), will be able to choose three free HD-DVDs at checkout in addition to the ongoing across-the-board HD-DVD mail-in-rebate for 5-free titles with hardware purchases. Amazon offers purchasers a selection of 55 movies from which to choose, and happily, most are actually worth owning. Though Blu-ray has been maintaining higher sales, the HD-DVD camp is going to work its lower cost advantage in a major way this upcoming holiday season. Those ready to join the HD-DVD side of the battle should head to Amazon to check out the deal. Added on August 29, 2007, 10:49 amhahaha note that the XA2 is more expensive than any of the three BD players  This post has been edited by g5sim: Aug 29 2007, 10:49 AM |

The Venturer HD-DVD player has been confirmed to be officially priced at US$199, but most people expecting street price to be discounted at around US$130-150. Ouch.....
yup..hd-dvd is on the roll..quote from AVS: "Hey gang. I'm feeling a little red this evening. Just finished watching my Superman II: Richard Donner Cut HD DVD, except this time with the commentary. And while listening I have been looking at Amazon's bestsellers. As of 11:31PM today, check out these rankings: Xbox 360 HD DVD Add-on: #1 in Video Games (over the PS3 and Wii) Toshiba A-2: #1 STILL in Electronics 300 Combo HD DVD/DVD: #2 in DVD Heroes HD DVD: #13 in DVD The Departed: #14 in DVD Just some interesting numbers to think about. They seem to mesh with Robert's reports of player spike at his store as well. Be interesting to see sales numbers for software over the next couple weeks."

IFA 2007: HD DVD Group Press Conference >>> http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=65757 QUOTE 16:12: Talks about firmware release schedule. 24p being added to the older models. From December, all HD players will be able to replay 50p. (This means that European-originated HD shows will not need to go through a lossy standards conversion process to be released on HD DVD). 15:37: Almost 2 years ago, the first HD DVD PC was launched, in a high-end model. "That's going to change". From Q4 onwards, HD DVD will be a mainstream feature in Toshiba notebooks!

For reasons I can't mention, we can't deal with Fuh Yuan. So the only option for the time being is with Alco via Venturer. We can't even deal direct with Alco just beause the quantity for the SEA market is too small. Put it simply, the entire SEA market's projection is no larger than what ValueElectronics.com can sell. For the time being, the projected ETA is January 2008 because of the roadblocks created by Venturer themselves. Apparently purchasing 2,000 units as the initial order is not deemed as big-enough purchase for them and I dare not order more players for the inital launch for SEA market. For Indonesia alone, for example, we projected only 500 units can be sold for the entire year. Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei possibly 500 units each maximum. Do you know of any member of Malaysian HDM community that's willing to do a group buy (in order to get them direct from us)? or even work together with KDN Parts in distributing the HD DVD players (as a distributor)? We also are planning to import North American HD DVD releases too, not so much for profit but to lay the groundwork for HD DVD acceptance in SEA. Salam, xxxxxxxxxxx PS: you can also e-mail me direct at info@xxxxxxx.com g5sim..will Pm his name once I get a greenlight from him....I wonder if anyone here is interested to become a distributor... |

The offer which was supposed to end at 31 September has been extended to February 28, 2008. meaning 7 FREE DISK LOR !! http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/ne...se,172069.shtml CEDIA, DENVER, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba America Consumer Products, L.L.C. ("Toshiba") revealed its third generation HD DVD players at the CEDIA show today rolling out its most advanced, affordable line of HD DVD players with outstanding functionalities and Web-enabled network capabilities of the HD DVD format. Gearing up for the new line to hit shelves this fall, Toshiba also announced new HD DVD marketing initiatives and consumer promotions, including a season-long promotional campaign with NBC Television Station Group for Sunday Night Football broadcasts, a free two movie bundle with third generation players and a new five free HD DVD movie promotion. "We have raised the bar yet again with the unmatched interactive capabilities and state-of-the art video and audio performance of our third generation players," said Jodi Sally, Vice President of Marketing, Toshiba's Digital A/V Group. "Web-enabled network capabilities, available on HD DVD, illustrate how Toshiba is delivering on its commitment to provide consumers with the ultimate home entertainment experience in high definition. With this new line, a growing base of HDTV consumers can now look forward to an unrivaled home theater experience this fall." Toshiba Third Generation HD DVD Players Toshiba's third generation family starts with the entry level HD-A3 player featuring 1080i output capability. The other two new models, Toshiba's HD-A30 and HD-A35, will output 1080p resolution (1920 x 1080p), the highest HD signal currently available. Both models are capable of outputting signals at 1080p/24 frames per second so consumers can enjoy movies in their native frame rate. The HD-A30 and HD-A35 models also feature "CE-Link" (HDMI™-CEC), allowing two-way control between the HD DVD player and a TV through an HDMI connection. With a new slim design, Toshiba's third generation players have a cabinet that is approximately 1/4-inch slimmer than second generation models. All of Toshiba's HD DVD models are backward compatible allowing users to enjoy their libraries of current DVDs and CDs while improving the picture quality of regular DVDs by upconverting them through an HDMI connection to near high definition quality. New HD DVD Promotions To further drive HD DVD sales this fall, Toshiba also announced today a number of exciting new marketing initiatives and promotions. To communicate the benefits of HD DVD to millions of HDTV owners, Toshiba announced a season- long promotional campaign with the NBC Television Station Group and its broadcasts of Sunday Night Football with Bob Costas and Tiki Barber. This includes 30 second HD DVD ads, web sponsorships promoting the format, as well as special on-air vignettes that will build awareness and educate consumers about HD DVD throughout the holidays and into 2008. In addition, in order to allow consumers to enjoy the HD DVD experience right out of the box, Toshiba is offering consumers free movies with the purchase of their third generation players. With Toshiba's new bundle promotion, consumers will take home the highly acclaimed HD DVDs "300" from Warner Home Video and "The Bourne Identity" from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. "Warner is excited to offer consumers who purchase the new Toshiba HD DVD players the opportunity to own '300'," said Dorinda Marticorena, SVP Worldwide High Definition Media, Warner Home Video. "Not only is it the best selling HD DVD title to date, but it is also one of the most advanced titles with regard to new and innovative Hi Def features, both on the disc itself and through web connectivity. We believe that with the initial sales of "300", and this promotion, more than a half million consumers will own "300" on HD DVD by the end of this year." "Now is an exciting time to buy an HD DVD player, with a blockbuster title like 'The Bourne Identity' in the box at retail," said Craig Kornblau, President, Universal Studios Home Entertainment. "Toshiba is leading the way in bringing high definition home, and at prices that will fit in any home theater. By offering The Bourne Identity, in addition to Toshiba's 'Five Free' offer, we are giving consumers an amazing deal." In addition to its bundle promotion, Toshiba announced "The Perfect HD Offer," which will begin on October 1st 2007 and continue until February 28th 2008. As a result, with the purchase of any Toshiba HD DVD player, consumers will be able to select five HD DVD titles for free, from a selection of 15, via a mail-in offer. Full offer details will be available at http://www.toshibahddvd.com/. Beyond the Hi Def Movie Experience Beyond the high def picture and advanced audio, HD DVD delivers an immersive home theater experience with features such as picture-in-picture video and audio commentary. And now users can take their experience to a new level with value added web-enabled network capability. Thanks to the Ethernet port and persistent storage built into every Toshiba HD DVD player from the first generation models, studios have the ability to take movies to a higher level by allowing users to connect directly to their server and access bonus features as available. Examples of this value-added access can include movie trailers for new releases or the ability to share favorite scenes with other HD DVD player owners. Consumers may also purchase movie-related merchandise, ringtones and more without having to turn on their computers. Web-enabled network capability is now opening the door to a new entertainment experience beyond hi def video and audio. Firmware Updates Keep HD DVD Consumers Current With the Ethernet port available on every player, consumers are assured that their Toshiba HD DVD player is built for the future. With available firmware updates, Toshiba is able to keep a consumer's HD DVD player current by providing improved performance, new features and other capabilities to make the HD DVD experience consistent with what the studios have to offer. Today Toshiba is also announcing that in mid-September, a firmware update will be available for its second generation players. The update will bring 1080p/24 frames per second capability to its HD-XA2 and HD-A20 models. Third Gen Goes Green Toshiba is committed to not only making its products consumer friendly, but friendly to the environment as well. Its products, including the third generation HD DVD players, meet Toshiba's ongoing efforts to bring eco- conscious products to market and comply with the company's strict environmental policies. Environmental management is promoted both from the standpoint of improving products themselves and renewing manufacturing processes, which not only calls for the elimination of the use of hazardous substances in products, but also to avoid using such substances in any manufacturing process. For example, Toshiba HD DVD players are compliant with the EU RoHS Directive, a European Union environmental directive that prohibits or restricts the use of six hazardous substances, including lead, mercury and cadmium. Also, for energy conservation, all third generation players meet the Energy Star standard. Toshiba will place the Toshiba Group Earth Protection mark on its third generation players, packaging and promotional materials. The Toshiba Environmental Standard for granting the Toshiba Group Earth Protection mark will soon be available on Toshiba America Consumer Products, L.L.C.'s official website. Momentum For HD DVD Continues to Grow This fall, with the availability of Toshiba's third generation players, and a significant increase in the rollout of HD DVD movie titles -- expected to increase from 300 to 1,000 titles by the end of the year -- momentum for HD DVD is undeniable. "With the recent announcement by Paramount and DreamWorks Animation SKG to exclusively support HD DVD, in addition to studio support from Universal and Warner, New Line Cinema and HBO, consumers now have even greater reason to supplement their HDTV purchase with a high def HD DVD movie experience," said Yoshi Uchiyama, Group Vice President, Toshiba America Digital A/V Group. "New players, new promotions, new movie titles and new studio partners are all evidence that HD DVD is delivering the ultimate high definition experience to the broader consumer market."

Quote from the ist day of CEDIA:
"I just got back to my hotel after attending Toshiba's CEDIA press conference with Jon Spackman, AVS HD DVD/BD Moderator. The theme was Star Trek and the presenters were dressed in Star Trek outfits and the stage was set with Star Trek decorations. The first presentation was all about their new LCD panels, however, I'll just discuss the HD DVD side of the presentation here. Here's the list of the new news. 1. All Gen 3 players will be packed with Born Identity and 300. All ValueElectronics.com Gen 3 advance orders qualify for the two additional titles packed with the players. 2. Buy a HD DVD player and the Star Trek box set and their is a mail-in rebate for a Star Trek HD DVD phaser remote control unit, very cool looking and sound effects. All ValueElectronics.com pre-orders are eligible. 3. The 5 free HD DVD movies will be extended till 2/28/08 and new titles are added to the selection. xBox and notebook PC with HD DVD drives will qualify for the 5 free HD DVD movie offer. 4. Just considering Warner, Universal, Paramount, Dreamworks and Dreamworks Animation more than 125 new titles will be release by the end of '07. 5. Shinco, Ventura, Alpine, Onkyo and Integra and the 3 new Gen 3 HD DVD players will all ship by early Q4 '07. 6. Total HD DVD player unit sales are expected to reach more than 30 million stand alone units by the end of '07. 7. Amazon and ValueEletronics.com report the A2 is the #1 best seller. 8. According to NPD data, BD stand alone players have 16% market share, HD DVD enjoys a 33% market share, while SD DVD holds 51%. 9. All studios are going to expand the connectivity features, like on the Star Trek HD DVD you can connect to CBS's server and get a tour of the Star Ship Enterprise. 10. All Toshiba products are Earth friendly and will carry the "Earth Protection" logo on their packaging. There is a long list of things Toshiba has developed to ensure their Earth friendly compliance. HD DVD boldly goes where no other format has gone before." -Robert This post has been edited by silencer: Sep 6 2007, 08:59 PM |

The mother of the zazoest news of Cedia :-
China's HD DVD = CH-DVD (China High Definition DVD) based on HD-DVD http://www.allthingshidef.com/ME2/di...85675FE17B4478 BEIJING, CHINA --The Optical Memory National Engineering Research Center (OMNERC), a laboratory dedicated to optical disc research at Tsinghua University, announced yesterday the CH-DVD (China High Definition DVD), a new generation high definition DVD format developed in collaboration with research institutes and manufacturing enterprises. The format CH-DVD includes Chinese-owned intellectual property, and is based on HD DVD, the high definition format lead by Toshiba and approved by the DVD Forum. The development of CH-DVD was endorsed by the Chinese government, paving the way for the localization of blue-laser, high-definition DVD in China. "The emergence of CH-DVD as a high definition format integrating Chinese-owned intellectual property clearly demonstrates that a Chinese optical disc technology is already at the world-class level. In the near future, all related industries in China are expected to make the transition from standard definition DVD to high definition DVD." In the year to come, China will start broadcasting high definition television programs. In combination with HDTV, the CH-DVD format will provide a high definition optical disc solution. CH-DVD incorporates advanced copy protection that prevents the spread of pirated copies. That announcement...leads to the "flooding symptom" of CH-DVD and HD-DVD players: - Four CHINA CE manufacturers set out the CHINA Version HD DVD Player, it base on the TOSHIBA HD-A3, but use the different modulate code(FSM). The four CHINA CE manufacturers is: BBK(OPPO) Haier TCL Tsinghua Tongfang The detailed report: http://stor-age.zdnet.com.cn/stor-ag...7/495410.shtml ----------------------------------- Those with the CH DVD logo are for the Chinese market. Those with the HD DVD logo are for the US/EU market. Google Translation: http://www.google.com/translate?u=ht...&hl=en&ie=UTF8 Babelfish Translation: http://world.altavista.com/babelfish...2F495410.shtml QUOTE Future international version of HD DVD and CH-DVD discs in the Chinese market will aim to also be an international version of HD DVD player and CH-DVD player two products in the CD packaging will also distinguish between. Sort of..prepare yourself for price of HD-DVD player skyrocketed down to earth..and I wont be surprised if they r on sale in either Tesco or Carefour next year... |

Added on September 9, 2007, 4:57 pmOk Guys..who said that Bluray is superior than HD-DVD in terms of capacity??? Here comes the 51GB disk... http://www.screendigest.com/online_service...060907-ec3/show >>> DVD Forum approves 'bigger than Blu-ray' HD DVD 07 Sep 07 Country: China, USA Source: Online Services/Intelligence/Video and DVD/Updates QUOTE The DVD Forum, the international DVD standards authority, has approved a 51 GB single-sided triple-layer HD DVD disc for production. Extension to the HD DVD standard, which was submitted by Toshiba in April, received approval on 31 August 2007. Other recent developments include: * A single-sided triple-layer HD DVD/DVD hybrid (combi) disc, the DVD layer of which would be playable by legacy DVD players, is expected to be approved before the year end. * The Forum has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with China's Optical Memory National Engineering Research Centre (OMNERC) regarding licensing of the HD DVD-ROM China (formerly HD DVD-ROM China-only) format, specification for which was approved earlier this year. The only difference between the latter and the standard HD DVD format is the modulation scheme: the optical pickup in HD DVD China player will be able to play standard HD DVD discs, although Chinese discs will not be playable in standard HD DVD drives. According to the Forum, the Chinese government is keen to introduce the format domestically before the Olympic Games in August 2008. Large-scale integrates (LSIs) are already under development by manufacturers and use of AACS for the format is currently under negotiation.

padam punyalah muka. Sony build up the 'exclusivity' hype. and now Toshiba is utilizing it to kill Sony. Ahhhh IRONY !! AND no one is the right mind would bet Wal-mart banking on BD's cheapest $499 player on its customers when the HD DVD players will be available at $199 or less from MULTIPLE CEs http://www.tvpredictions.com/warner091007.htm News Warner Bros. Weighing HD DVD Offer? The Los Angeles Times says so, quoting "Hollywood insiders." By Swanni Washington, D.C. (September 10, 2007) -- Warner Bros is considering a "lucrative offer" to back HD DVD exclusively in the high-def disc format war. That's according to an article in today's Los Angeles Times. Warner Bros. is now releasing titles in both Blu-ray and HD DVD and the studio has preached that the two-format approach has led to increased sales of such titles as The Departed. But the surprise departure last month of Steve Nickerson, Warner Home Video's senior vice president for High-Definition, has raised speculation that the studio may be reconsidering its policy. Nickerson was an outspoken booster of the two-format approach in the high-def war. The Times writes that "Hollywood insiders" say Warner is "mulling over a lucrative offer that could bring such popular titles as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix into the HD DVD camp." The newspaper doesn't say, but the offer is presumably from Toshiba, the leading backer of the HD DVD format. If Warner were to endorse HD DVD exclusively, it would follow similar exclusive endorsements last month from Paramount and DreamWorks. (Universal is also backing HD DVD exclusively while four major studios are supporting Blu-ray exclusively.) While a Warner switch would seriously boost HD DVD's chances in the high-def format war, the Times reports that the Blu-ray side is also busy trying to line up exclusive deals with studios and retailers. Wal-Mart, the newspaper said, had set a mid-August deadline for deciding which format to keep in its stores; it now carries both players. But Toshiba supposedly offered a large promotional budget to support HD DVD sales in a recent meeting at Wal-Mart headquarters. Wal-Mart would not comment on that, but told the Times that "it would be good for the studios or somebody to make the call (on the high-def format war.)."

Can somebody shed some light on why it is better, besides a bigger space, even with unfinished product and more expensive? Its making me confuse........ those blu-boys are PS3 owners. there millions of PS3 owners out there, many received the PS3 from their parents. they are corrupting every internet forum about hidef. Go to the HD DVD threads if you want to hear the voices of HT enthusiasts basically they are claiming all the craps that in real life doesnt matter to people to buy the BD players. 50GB ? hello !! check the amount of disk for the same title released by Warner and yeah .. bit rate and PCM .. most of the blu boys are highlighting that now because most of their talking points were muted by current events I bet these are the same people that channel their PS3 audio to their tv speakers !!  let me know when they actually talk about something that matters to consumers. i can highlight several items that are not good for consumers that HD DVD does not have though BD+ Water mark - allows content owners to embed player serial numbers to the layer.

QUOTE(miniacs @ Sep 13 2007, 11:24 AM) thanks for the ifno g5sim. welcome Xbox 360 to get new HD DVD drive http://www.pcw.co.uk/personal-computer-wor...-dvd-drive-2008 Microsoft will launch an updated HD DVD drive for the Xbox 360 in 2008, it said at its 25th hardware anniversary in London today. Mark Bennett, Microsoft's European business development director for HD DVD, demonstrated the technology's advanced interactive features and pointed out that Paramount, Universal Studios and many Warner Brothers high definition titles are exclusive to HD DVD. "The interactive features actually work on HD DVD whereas Blu-ray titles are six to nine months away from getting features that actually work," Bennett said, referring to Blu-ray's current inability to do picture in picture videos. Bennett also said "there are more plans to incorporate HD DVD into the PC platform in the future." The original Xbox360 HD DVD drive, which launched in November 2006, was fully compatible with Windows PCs and proved a hit for being the cheapest high definition drive on sale. The event, which was celebrating Microsoft's 25th anniversary of making computer hardware, saw the software giant revive its PC gaming peripherals with a new sidewinder mouse and new ergonomic keyboards and mice. There were also multi-coloured Xbox360 controllers and it said it would sell high definition download movie rentals over its Live service before Christmas in the UK - one of the first such services to hit these isles. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but it demonstrated a 720p movie measuring 4GB costing 480 credits, which equates to about £4. |
