Don't underestimate the willingness of large corporations to loose huge bundles of money over an extended time period. Sony is staking its gaming future on the PS3 and BD and has support for BD from many other companies. Toshiba and Microsoft seem w…

I pretty much agree that both camps will soldier on for a long time yet and weekly sales figures don't matter that much. However, if one format maintains a 2 to 1 figure for a significantly long enough time it might have an impact on the choice of t…

Over on the AVS BD forum there are a number people very upset with Amazon over its handling of the Kubrick October 23 releases. A few people received their pre-orders, but for most the shipping date was pushed back several weeks and for some into De…

Hey Marz, I think on the youtube thing somebody had too much free time on their hands. I picked up a copy of 2001 today and am looking forward to watching it tomorrow night. Now a really interesting figure would be to compare Blu-ray and HD-DVD s…

Walter, the nerve! Trying to get this thread back on track. That would be no fun! Bite, the big problem I'm seeing on these special price promotions is that they're only for a limited number of select titles. Most of the offers are to buy one get…

I don't use iPhoto so I'm hazzarding a guess. Is there a "save as" choice in the file menu?
