You know, I've been a Blu-ray partisan from way back, but I was SO close to pulling the trigger on an HD DVD player last night. One thing that's stopping me is that the upconversion feature only works via HDMI, and my TV is component only. So I'd ha…

Marzetta, you must be slipping. No mention of the news that Microsoft's add-on HD DVD player for the XBox will not carry HDMI hookups? Or that the coming Toshiba HD DVD drive that will output 1080p will cost $999? I was hoping for a price DROP …

High-Def Digest is reporting that Ridley Scott's director's cut of "Kingdom of Heaven" will be Fox's first dual-layer Blu-ray release, part of their first wave of titles on November 14. Man, that is the first absolutely drool-worthy, gotta-have-i…

The last I heard was that, if there was to be region encoding, the regions would align differently (just three total) and the U.S. and Japan would be the new Region 1. Does anyone have any more recent information? I thought I read that the HD DVD p…

Does anyone wants to speculate as to when the studios might reach a tipping point in terms of day-and-date releases of high-def DVDs along with SD? (In order to remain neutral, I will refer to high-def only as The Format of Choice.) At what point w…
