...Our own Gord Lacey contacted Fox Home Entertainment about Staite's comments, and asked them if this release - if actually coming - would be on DVD or Blu-ray Disc. Fox replied that it is indeed coming, and for Blu-ray Disc format!....
...this package is still in the planning and development stages. Therefore, a release timeframe hasn't been set yet, and many details have not been finalized...

Yep, that sucks. I would've preferred a BOGO myself. Still, if you get 3 $20 movies, it works out to about $13 per movie.
VanMardigan said:
perfect timing since Im trying to build my collection
just grabbed Fifth Element, Res. Dogs and Big Fish. 3 favorite movies of mine.
Great news on firefly.
Despite picking the wrong format, Im pretty glad there is one format now.. seems to be working out for the best, and the PiP stuff is still being pushed on BRD which was my main reason for backing HDDVD

Awesome but it'll probably be like every boxset and not get released in Europe (just like Prison Break and Lost)

At this rate there won't be for years. They only just recently launched video downloads of any kind and it seems they are pursuing seperate canadian-specific licensing, so it should continue to be on-par or worse than Microsoft's own poor service (which I believe is at what, 30 titles? :lol )

Got mine on Saturday. Came in a plain white envelope, with no Best Buy markings on it. Had I not felt the gift card inside, I'd have assumed it was junk mail and tossed it without opening it.

Saw two movies yesterday:
End of Days: I thought the transfer was mediocre, and its Universal which was inconsistent with their HD DVD catalogs. The problem is that the movie is very dark and there wasn't much detail visible in dark scenes. The day scenes looked good, though. I'd never seen the movie before, so I can't say how much of a leap this was over the SD version, but I imagine it would be a pretty big difference. The audio was surprisingly active imo. Overall, it's a good pickup for fans of the movie if you can find it cheap. I thought the movie was average, but once the story picked up, it was entertaining.
Anchorman: Legend of Ron Burgundy: I thought this looked pretty good. Tons of detail on faces, clothing, etc. I own the dvd so I could appreciate the jump in quality. Early on, there is a closeup of Will Ferrell's face that shows off the amount of detail the HD transfer provides. The audio was fine, though it's a comedy, so nothing special there.

Ugh, haven't gotten mine. Did you and everyone else who got it use your Reward Zone card when buying the HD-DVD player? I didn't use mine and am afraid they won't be able to identify my address. I suppose I better go down to BB and get a copy of my receipt to call them.

Yeah, I used my Reward Zone card both times. I bought the add-on in store, and the A3 during that Best Buy for Business online sale, in case if anyone was wondering if that purchase counted.

Looks like once I get an iPhone I'll be able to use it as a PS3 remote - could be some very cool possibilities here.

wtf I had bought another A3 player after Feb 23rd,I think it was March 2nd cause it was super cheap and I'm getting a discount for it too.
So I got $100 instead of $50

I just bought Munchausen yesterday, and while it's not something I would ever use to show off HD, it is by far the best this movie has ever looked. There is some inconsistency between scenes, some are overwrought with grain, while some come close to that 3D depth we all crave. All in all my guess is this is as close as we're ever going to get to how it looked in theaters. My original DVD actually started crying when it realized how terrible it looks next to the remastered Blu-ray.
