High Definition Optical Discs (Blu-ray and HD DVD)
Wow, I guess Toshiba was secretly working on their blu-ray player before they actually announced it–shocking, I know. Either that or they have some of the fastest engineers on earth. Either way, good to see another player on the BD market to up the competition and hopefully lower the price…eventually. EH The BDX2000, a Profile 2.0 player (BD-Live), outputs […]
Read moreThis is interesting but not sure it matters in the whole scheme of things. Considering the average PS3 owner is a 28-year old male who probably enjoys technology anyways…and probably own either Iron Man or Transformers on Blu-ray. So it could be slightly skewed. Joystiq SCEA’s Eric Lempel spoke with Variety’s Video Business, and he said that a significant majority […]
Read moreIf you read our Blu-ray releases for the week , you’ll note that two of my favorite films–Braveheart and Gladiator–were being released this week. Unfortunately, the buzz around some screenshots on the internet was quite dissapointing for the transfer of Gladiator. Here’s an actual review of the discs–good news is Braveheart is "Breathtaking." Bad news, seeing how great Braveheart is […]

There’s a certain audience who will see this 400-disc changer for $1900 and consider it a steal–just remember Sony’s older DVD Changer cost over $3000!! However, then there’s our audience who would think about how much storage they could build for $2k and rip the movies themselves. That being said, I’m happy to read this thing does its job pretty […]
Read moreWe’ll keep it short for this week, because I know I’m not the only person out there that’s just too excited to see both Braveheart and Gladiator be released for Blu-ray. I didn’t want to take the easy route and have co-picks, so without further delay… MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week Braveheart This is literally one of my favorite movies […]

I loved this movie growing up. Not sure what extra features or how good the quality is on this blu-ray copy of the Tim Burton classic, but Amazon has it for only $10 right now. A pretty great deal. As always, full disclosure, buying this movie through our link does help MissingRemote out.
Read moreThis is an interesting report that I didn’t think about until reading, and I partially agree. Outside of the HTPC crowd there really is little demand for consumers to obtain a blu-ray drive in their systems. I think it’s tougher when you factor in that a DVD-Rom drive costs less than $30 these days, and blu-ray is still at least […]

I can’t possibly be the only one amused by all these low definition features coming from your blu-ray player, right? That being said you could argue you would be paying the same amount with or without the features so might as well throw them in. It will be interesting to see how the field evolves and where the focus migrates […]

Unless you’ve been hiding for a while, you know that Oppo has come out full force in the last few years as a leader in high quality movie players. They continue this with their BDP-83 blu-ray player which apparantly is as good as those multi-thousand-dollar units with similar features. At under $500, it’s far from the least expensive, but considering […]
Read moreKind of a slow week for Blu-ray releases this week. Some good oldies being released on Blu-ray such as the classic thriller movie Children of the Corn, or your girlfriend’s favorite How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. The sleeper of the pack is Sunshine Cleaning, an entertaingly quirky film about 2 sisters who end up being crime scene […]
