I bought some new HD DVD films today.:)

I got:

12 Monkeys
AeonFlux
The Thing

I just watched 12 monkeys, it was great. I hadn't seen it before. I haven't seen AeonFlux yet, but I'm going to watch it in a bit. I have seen The Thing before, its a legendary film.:)

Anyone else own any HD DVDs? I love the quality, well worth getting if you have an HD compatible TV.:)

Isn't that 12 monkeys just the greatest? The way he ses himself at the airport as a kid and the kid sees his older self getting killed....that's just too spooky!
We have a hd ready tv but no hd dvd's yet. Do I need a special hd dvd player? Guess I do....


myLot reputation of 87/100. pjanaway (156)   ranked 1 out of 5 in hd dvd  1 year ago

Yes you need an HD DVD player. Worth getting one to make use of the HD on your TV.:)

About 12 monkeys, at the start of the film I thought, oh that is him, then during the film they made it seem like it wasn't him. Then at the end of the film, its like, wammo, it is him. lol

Why oh why would you want to buy HD-DVDs? I own a lot of Blu Ray movies. You should support the Blu Ray format, as we all know that's going to be the format of the future. It's going to be annoying for you when HD DVD goes off the market.;-)


myLot reputation of 87/100. pjanaway (156)   ranked 1 out of 5 in hd dvd  1 year ago

I haven't seen anywhere in the UK selling blu ray, its only hd dvd.


myLot reputation of 83/100. Phlamingho (7156)   ranked 5 out of 5 in hd dvd  1 year ago

Really? I've bought several Blu Rays off ebay.co.uk and amazon.co.uk have a lot of them as well.

A few reasons to pick Blu Ray over HD-DVD:

Blu Ray ca store more data - makeing it possible for better picture, better sound and more extra features.

Blu Ray is outselling HD-DVD 2:1, so it's the leading format in the "war"

Blockbuster just announced that they will only be renting out Blu Rays NOT HD-DVDs

The PS3 supports Blu Ray - so you can get a very cheap Blu Ray player combined with the future of home entertainment.

Most movie studios support only Blu Ray.

Just wanted to give you a heads up before you invest too much money in your HD-DVD collection:-)


myLot reputation of 87/100. pjanaway (156)   ranked 1 out of 5 in hd dvd  1 year ago

HD doesn't need more than 25gb for a start. Practically all Blu-ray discs use way less than 25gb.

Your sales figures only apply to North America, in Europe HD DVD sales are way higher than Blu-ray.

Another thing ps3 sales are really lame. lol

Most movie studios only support Blu-ray? I doubt it. Either way HD DVD has released way more films than Blu-ray and their line up is way more. Plus HD DVD player and the discs themselves are a lot cheaper to produce and sell for a lot cheaper to the consumers.

Just giving you the heads up.;)


myLot reputation of 83/100. Phlamingho (7156)   ranked 5 out of 5 in hd dvd  1 year ago

HD needs a lot more than 25 GB, you are right that we don't need any more right now, but what happens when all movies and extrea features are in 1080p and we also want to add a true HD 7.1 audio track to the disc? Well then we are going to need the 50gb of a dual layer Blu Ray (good bye HD DVD). And yes HD DVD is cheaper - but why chose the worst techonology just because it's a little cheaper? Blu Ray will get cheap as well when it's the only format left.

If you are having doubt on how mayne supporters of BLu ray that's out there, then you can find a list of some of them here:

http://www.blu-raydisc.com/

Lets talk again in 6 months when this is not still a very new technology, then we'll see who was right, and who wasted his money on HD DVDs:-p


myLot reputation of 87/100. pjanaway (156)   ranked 1 out of 5 in hd dvd  1 year ago

That's a biased site, obviously its going to try and make Blu-ray sound better, since its dedicated to Blu-ray. lol


myLot reputation of 83/100. Phlamingho (7156)   ranked 5 out of 5 in hd dvd  1 year ago

LOL, yeah but it was just the support list I wanted you to look at... It's at the bottom of the screen. Notice that all the major movie production companies are there;-)

12 Monkeys and The Thing (one of my all-time faves) are great. You have to watch the extras on The Thing DVD...there is a bit about how they did all the effects. It's amazing...lot's of polystyrene and fairy liquid. Aeon Flux I switched off after about 20 minutes...thought it was awful. I have an HDMI cable from my DVD player to my TV which gets me as close to high def as you can without actually buying it.


myLot reputation of 87/100. pjanaway (156)   ranked 1 out of 5 in hd dvd  1 year ago

Yeah, I'm going to watch the thing extras tomorrow some when. AeonFlux was ok, but it's nothing special.

Thanks for the comment.:)

I have not entered the new technology phase yet of HD dvd’s or players- They dvd players are quite expensive still- plus I have many questions- Do you need a special high def. TV to use a high def. DVD player? I bet the quality is a lot better. New technology usually is better- I’m looking to buy a new TV for my daughter this year for Christmas – maybe I’ll break down and pick up a special one to check it out-


myLot reputation of 87/100. pjanaway (156)   ranked 1 out of 5 in hd dvd  1 year ago

Yes, you need an HD TV otherwise it will not work. The quality is amazing.
