So I have a question for those out there that have a Blu-Ray player and some movies. I picked up my Casino Royale yesterday and was looking at the back and noticed it is marked as all region. Anybody else noticed any all region BD movies? Does th…

You can pick the difference between an HD-DVD/BD and upscaled DVD very easily just in the colour alone, which people do pick up on. HD will definitely supplant DVD it is just a case of when, if only because they won't be given a choice. People may…

Sony can't win. Had supply been constrained everybody would have complained that their manufacturing prowess has dropped. They kept the European launch well supplied and achieved excellent opening weekend results, record sales in the UK and $25 mi…

From over here. Quote: What? It's already over? Over at Cheapassgamer.com, folks are posting that the Xbox 360 HD DVD player is being marked down at Walmart to US $130 from its retail price of $199.99. What's more, apparently Walmart has cleared…

Just as an addendum. A very interesting interview with Sony Australia's managing director. He talks about HD players really not taking off until the 2nd half of next year as well as consoles. I also agree with this quote. If I owned an Xbox and …

Shouldn't surprise anyone since it is the newer technology but prices of BD-drives to drop 50% over the next year. That with some lower end hardware should drive the prices down a fair bit. So remind me why would I really want to jump in to this b…
