Microsoft Bids Farewell to HD DVD

To the surprise of no one, Microsoft officially announced Monday that it would withdraw from HD DVD, ceasing production of its Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on, effective immediately.

One of the format's key technology backers, Microsoft played a leading role in evangelizing HD DVD to the early adopter community from the format's earliest days. It also famously launched the Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on in late 2006 in an effort to help combat Sony's Blu-ray enabled PS3.

In a statement issued Monday, the software giant said it would continue to provide standard product and warranty support for all Xbox 360 HD DVD Players in the market. The company also dropped the MSRP on its remaining stock to a record-low of $49.99.

The full text of Microsoft's statement follows below:

As a result of recent decisions made by Toshiba, Hollywood studios, and retailers, Microsoft plans to withdraw from HD DVD. Xbox will no longer manufacture new HD DVD players for the Xbox 360, but we will continue to provide standard product and warranty support for all Xbox 360 HD DVD Players in the market. As we stated earlier, we do not believe this decision will have any material impact on the Xbox 360 platform or our position in the marketplace. HD DVD is one of the several ways we offer a high definition experience to consumers and we will continue to give consumers the choice to enjoy digital distribution of high definition movies and TV shows directly to their living room, along with playback of the DVD movies they already own.

Paramount's "There Will Be Blood" Coming to Blu-ray

A trailer for the Oscar Award-winning film 'There Will Be Blood' has shown up on the HiHD website. The film, which is distributed by Paramount, may be the first film to see Blu-ray release since the studio announced they would once again release their films on the high definition format. Nothing official has come from the studio, but being that Sony, Disney, and Fox operate HiHD, a press release should be forthcoming.

No specs have been announced, but one should expect extras to mirror that of the DVD release, which includes additional scenes, There Will Be Blood - Pics, Research, Etc, and the featurettes "The Story of Petroleum" and "Dailies Gone Wild".

I think you should check again. HD ready TV are only capable of 1080i, only full HD TV can display 1080p one...


With 1080i, the picture will be little bit more detailed, but you'll notice blurry edges with fast motion images, like someone walking by, camera panning, etc. This is the effect of of the TV interlacing (hence the letter "i") the video, alternating between resolution lines.

720p, the image is stable, but you're losing details because you're seeing only 720 lines from a 1080 source.

But I like 720p better though, I don't like blurry images, especially on fast action scenes!

So, to get the best, look for full HD 1080p/24 120Hz TV!

Must get Will Smith's I-Trilogy:

ID4
I, Robot
I Am Legend




They both were in Star Wars Episode I.

Yes, but I Am Legend releasing on March 18. I've pre-ordered them all along with Gattaca & No Country for Old Men.

All one shipment, so all of them will only be shipped on March 18th.

By the way, No No Country for Old Men already take over no. 1 bestselling BD at Amazon, knocking Planet Earth to no.2.

The one with better acting.

Lucky I bought earlier!

Corez? Where's my BD?

The fake queen one...

No la. If it gets cheaper, you can ask for refund, but if it gets more expensive, no charge. I luv Amazon!

You got everyone's BD?

Friends, somebody offered me to buy my current speakers.

Now I'm thinking of getting small satellite speakers, to make their presence less dominant, you know. My living hall is quite small, plus I want to be able to put on the walls.

Any suggestion on low-budget 6.1 satellite speaker package? (More suitable, I don't have room for the extra speaker in 7.1). Price range and where to get?

There's a sticky at the Audiophile section, so I don't want to start another thread there. But after few pages, not much info there, more about pc multimedia speakers instead.

This thread related a lot to AV, plus you'll understand more that this is towards the enjoyment of blu-ray.

Appreciate your help!


PS: No elite stuff, not for now! This is temporary until I get my next bonus!

LOL... I expected you guys to say that...

This is temporary, when I get my bonus by end of this year I'll get new decent ones la, (though may still be satellite, because of my living room).

Already spent too much last few months. My budget is a very small 1.5k. Got anything that price ar?

Any more expensive than that I may have to sleep in the living room, hugging the speakers instead of ...

Thanks Apis!!!

That's model NS-P236 ar? I'll go look for it at Desa Kepong after work!!

But only silver ar? Need to buy some black paint.

I think I've been crazy enough last few month, don't know how crazy I could be end of this year.

OK, I'll check for you.

Thought you just bought new speakers already?

Wow, RM999. So is SQ better than yammy? With extra RM500 can buy more BDs!

RX, you know la, elite, never satisfied one. He want the best sound while watching DDD!!

Testing speakers? What kind? So, wanna sell?

Don't know going CMY yet or not. If I go I will check for you.

How much? Looks interesting, 5 star review.

Yes, Planet Earth is one of the must have titles for HD fans. But now it's back to $68 I think, l bought it at $54.

Whoa!!

You sure USD, not RM?

I understand. But not in my budget. Hope someone interested. God luck to you bro.

Don't think anyone will sell, the Rat is in the Tier 0 for top rate picture & audio, too sayang to sell..

Why don't get new one? Use standard shipping, not that expensive, just need to wait a little bit longer.

BTW, my Dave Matthews arrived! Ordered on Tuesday afternoon, it's now in my hand 65 hours later! Kudos Amazon & DHL.



Strange though, the box is too big, can fit 10 BDs, I only ordered 2.
