QUOTE(gogo2 @ May 13 2007, 03:27 PM) what's the point of having HD if the original film have noise? please tell me  It can be intentional noise in movies like War Of The Worlds, Black Hawk Down, Saw, etc. Older prints contain noise (can't be avoided) but they do look stunning in HD as the noise doesn't hurt our eyes as much as those standard definition releases. By comparison, even dvds upscaled to 1080p still looked soft to true HD releases and HD movies usually have stronger colours and deeper blacks, simply stunning I must say besides the extra sharpness to bring out more details from a particular movie.

Bought a shooting game and still wrapped nicely in its original factory seal. that was like one and half year before  Well, for RPGs, I guess the FF series is worth wasting our time on since the gameplay and graphics are top notch. They have two FF movies so far but only Advent Child is watchable, the first movie was a total flop at the box office. No doubt, Sony will bring all their exclusive movies to blu-ray but I'll give them a miss, I prefer watching a big budget movie on a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD since such movies will shine in HD. You'll be surprised to know my friend ordered Scary Movie 4 on HD-DVD from the net.  The picture was sharper, sounded a little punchier but the wow factor is not there if compared to something like Van Helsing on HD-DVD.

Thanks. any player with 1.1 BD profile would be good and oh makesure it support BD live too, if you u cannot view or use extra interactive and web features on announced FOX and Disney titles. Currently, the only BD player that support the BD profile 1.1 is the Denon player. It is priced at $1999 (USD). Dun know if it supports BD Live though

They're like that one lah ..... sometimes we just wanna be simple and casual. I usually go to mediaplex to have a glance but will not buy anything from them, I rather buy it elsewhere. Have been there a couple of times, the previous time, caught their sales people busy playing Ridge Racer on their PS3.

I guess it's not me then, it's rude for them to be busy playing on their PS3 when a customer walks in. Furthermore, it's Mediaplex, they should be more professional mah. So backward, like never played a console game before in their life.
