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

I don’t think this is nearly as significant as it appears from the title, since Blu-ray players are backwards compatible with DVD movies anyways. Given the current economy of such low-cost DVD players, along with the ridiculous popularity and rave reviews of their Blu-ray units, and it’s not all that surprising at all. HighDef Digest In a recent conversation with […]

I actually agree with a report, can you believe it? In the DVD prime days, the only alternative was VHS which was just terrible quality. By the time Blu-ray becomes super mainstream, there will be so many other ways to obtain media (Just ask Wal-Mart) that it will never get to the level that DVDs had in their prime. VideoBusiness […]

A lot of movies coming out this week on Blu-ray, but not a lot in the form of must see’s. If you’re a Jack Black, maybe you’ll enjoy Year One more than I did. I thought it was watchable, but that’s mainly just due to Michael Cera–the acting was pretty bad, especially the random accents. Outside of that, there’s not […]

Are you part of the minority that feels BD-Live is so awesome and you get so excited to see what new items you can buy from a movie or some trailers for some completely unrelated movies? If so, then this will make you happy, as studios are going to potentially use this technology to bring this content to you without […]

I’m not sure many people here use a PSP, but I do think it’s a good sign that they’re at least thinking these thoughts. Especially considering they used to sell movies JUST for the PSP, which was pretty ridiculous. Still doesn’t solve you digital copy fans, but hopefully that’s around the corner.

I’ll keep this intro short and sweet since I really just want to get onto the Pick of the Week. Nothing else really stands out to me as a must see, but some decent refreshes like South Park’s Bigger, Longer & Uncut finally making its way to Blu-ray. Land of the Lost, with Will Ferrel also sees its release pretty […]

Not a huge list, but definitely one of the big blockbusters from the summer is already coming to Blu-ray. Btw, if you’re looking for an interesting bloody movie, check out Blood: The Last Vampire, which I found very entertaining–the premise is a girl who is actually really, really old, is a vampire hunter, and goes undercover to hunt them down. […]

Pretty good selection of blu-rays this week. I really enjoyed the romantic comedy Management almost enough to make it our pick of the week, but in the end I had to go with my inner childhood memories. That being said, Snakes on a Plane is definitely a classic for the airplane disaster genre of movies. And if you’re in the […]

Blu-ray’s Dead, everything is going digital. Oh, just kidding, Long live blu-ray! And on and on this debate will continue as more reports come out stating the demise and growth of the high definition format. I’m on the side that thinks it’ll take over DVDs eventually, but prices on discs have to come down first. Video Business The research company […]
