Tag: High Definition Optical Discs (Blu-ray and HD DVD)

I guess their HD-DVD trade-up program was fairly successful after all, since Warner studios is now offering a similar program for trading in your DVDs to obtain Blu-rays. I’m surprised this charge isn’t coming from someone like Sony, who have way more invested not only in Blu-ray titles but players as well. HighDefDigest For as low as $7.95 per disc, […]

How do you top one of the highest rated blu-ray players on the market? If you’re OPPO, you almost double the cost, and add even more features to it. It’s hard to argue with the company, but I think the majority of users will be more than happy with the $500 version for their Blu-ray playback needs.I think this version […]

After last week’s quality selections, this week comes in even stronger! From the long list there’s enough to satisfy anyone’s appetite. Lots of classics to choose from with their Blu-ray releases, most notably Chasing Amy, Fight Club, and The Professional are all amazing movies if you haven’t seen them before. But, I had to go with a new film for […]

You know it’s a slow release week when one of the best choices is a re-tread of Watchmen with even more footage…because those director’s 3-plus hours wasn’t enough! That being said, Heat is an Al Pacino classic, well worth checking out, as is Logan’s Run. MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week Up Another home run for Pixar, Up is a completely […]

This is still something to be optimistic of, even though it’s disappointing very little will be ready by December 4th. You have to think if Studios saw an immediate profit to this they would accelerate the process more, but hey, it is what it is. I look forward to seeing how the process is and what (if any) extra cost […]

This deal makes sense if your Best Buy, and an overwhelming victory for CinemaNow which has really had a difficult time regaining space in the online streaming space which has been dominated by Netflix and others. Best Buy makes decent hardware at lower costs, which guarantees this service will be in quite a few homes. Yahoo The software making it […]

A couple really good releases this week, most notably "The Taking of Pelham 123" with Denzel Washington, and of course the all-time classic comedy National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. But the movie that was ridiculous for its over the top is going to regrettably be my pick of the week, strictly because I doubt there’s another movie this week that will […]

If this is true, and the prices continue to go down on players, then it’s really just a matter of time before it totally overtakes DVD players. Sure you can get a cheap DVD player for $30-50, but if you could get a Blu-ray player for little if any more than that, who wouldn’t? DMZ Considering that some off-brand players […]

Nothing that really sparks me is coming out this weekend, but the pick of the week is going to be a shoutout to all my fellow geek friends that got into this show. I’ve heard great things about it, just never got into it. Outside of that, the new Ice Age is out, and then that creepy Orphan horror/thriller. Pretty […]
