If MS releases an Xbox 360 Blu-ray player, I can save money over buying a PS3. :D

Unless the 360 is getting a major redesign, it would be quite inferior to the PS3 as a BD/DVD player.

Also, Disney's Home Video Moratorium APPLIES TO HIGH DEFINITION.

Once a Disney title goes OOP, it stays OOP for seven years.

Has that ever been officially stated ... because it is absolutely retarded?


It's fine to do it with BD's that are released date-and-day with the DVD counterpart, but they should do at least some catch up with previously released titles.

Why should they? Why give up 10 years of milking Blu-Ray for blowing their entire vault at once? People used the EXACT SAME EXCUSE when DVD came out and Disney just laughed and swam in their money bin.

At 5pm Tokyo time we will feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of HD DVD fanboys suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

You mean with previously released VHS titles? I didn't realize they had done that ...

Yes, when DVD came out everyone was screaming at Disney to release ALL of their classics on DVD immediately.

So Disney released some like Pinnochio, Little Mermaid, Dumbo in "Limited Issue" non-anamorphic shit DVDs with recycled LD transfers for a couple months and then pulled them.

Laughed at the crying fanatics on the internet.

And then announced the Platinum line.

hddigest smackdown forums are on lockdown

These forums are on LOCKDOWN!!!

It appears that with the recent news, we are getting A LOT of rule violations, so here is how it's going to be:

Effective at ~8:15pm PST

Any rule violation NO MATTER HOW SMALL will result in a 1 week - 1 month ban from this site. That means ANYTHING. Call someone a sissy, and take a week off. If you are able to post multiple offenses before we catch up to you, you will be permanently banned, no questions asked... no warnings!!! If you think I'm joking... push me.

People who have been around these forums know that I don't make 'idle threats'. I will permanently ban you, and sleep like a baby! There are rules for a REASON. If you follow them, you have nothing to worry about... break them, and pay the price!!!

Secondly,
Any and all sock-puppet accounts will have both accounts permanently banned (the puppet, and the puppeteer) , and we will block your IP from accessing High Def Digest. For those who don't know what a 'sock-puppet' is, it's an account created with the sole purpose of breaking the rules.

We as moderators can see A LOT of things that normal members can't (like your IP address), and we will be removing people who are breaking the rules on purpose.

You have been warned!

FIRST AND FINAL WARNING:
I hope you image freaks get the baiting out of your system in this thread, because once that Toshiba capitulation press release goes up, I'm locking this up and treating all BR bait images like Evilore treats Shawn Michaels .gifs outside of the wrestling threads. I'm as pleased as anyone to have this war over with and HD-DVD's head on a stake, but you'll have your pound of flesh here and nowhere else.

Have fun and see you in the morning.

Because they are a bunch of pussies and the Unofficial HD-DVD fansite since outside of AVS, there is no equivalent to www.blu-ray.com for the morons.

We have no idea when those Universal/Paramount announcements are going to roll in, but Toshiba's is imminent. Frankly, leaving this thread open after that doesn't make much sense to me. It's been all "ha-ha" posts or apologist screeds - with the exception of a few posters who've scurried back to their holes, you know who you are - and I want to wrap this sucker up.

Be happy that Blu-Ray won out, and let's move on to discussing HD movies.

If Toshiba's PR goes up tonight and one of the JPN-based admins doesn't close this thread overnight, I'm doing it in the morning.

And pushing it into the archive.

Transformers, Top Gun, Face Off, Blades of Glory, and a few other Paramount titles were pressed and packaged before the announcement so they're ready to go to stores.

I suspect those will be within days, especially with all these rumors of transformers on blu-ray comin up.

Now THAT'S a mod.


No sarcasm at all intended.


Farewell, thread, we'll miss you. But you are officially without a purpose, and the recent idiocy and hunting other forums for material bears this out.

OK, but will they release them all in one fell swoop or spread them out?

I think I answered my own question: if they release them all at one time what will they release for the rest of the time while ramping up production all over again on other titles? Ok, so I guess they will be staggered. I just hope that TF and Top Gun are in the first week of releases.

I just saw a report on KCAL about the Blu-Ray win. They had some random dude who had just bought a HD DVD player a couple days earlier and how crazy it was that the format was now dead, Ended with the guy showing off his AppleTV player. :lol I seriously doubt that shit wasn't staged. :lol

Exists already.

"The HD Movie Thread" is the title.

OP is me.

Search should turn it up.

It should be stickied to make it easier to find. I really doubt its going to be nearly as active as this thread.
