High Definition Optical Discs (Blu-ray and HD DVD)
Another good week of releases coming up. I’ve been waiting to see "I Love You, Man" for a while, it’s received some great reviews and I just want to see the guy from Freaks & Geeks battle Lou Ferragamo! A classic for its time, I’m sure some of you are St. Elmo Fire fans. I still haven’t watched it…but it’s […]
Read moreI’m not a fan of iTunes, so this doesn’t really get my juices flowing, but I know some of you iPod users are stuck with it and may actually like it. If so, maybe some good news for you with Blu-ray and a variety of other features rumored in the upcoming version. Apple Insider "One of the new additions to […]

Oppo are some fantastic players and at really good prices. My parents have an Oppo DVD player and couldn’t be happier (my dad was a former Sony fanboy), so that’s saying a lot. Read the review and decide for yourself, of course…I’m keeping my HTPC 🙂 High Def Digest At $499, the OPPO BDP-83 is a high-end Blu-ray player […]
Read moreGood news for fan of the Redbox kiosks in stores nearby, and upping the ante against Blockbuster and Netflix, as they are going to be upping the number of blu-rays in their selections. Staggering to see just how much money those little boxes have made, reporting a profit of $58 MILLION in the FIRST HALF of 2009!!! High Def Digest […]

I guess this should be reassuring if you have the coin to afford one of the Lexicon Blu-ray players. Personally I find it insulting that it would not exist before, as then what would users be forced to do if new Blu-ray standards came out? Throw it away or send it in…ugh! SlashGear As well as playing Blu-ray, BD-Live, […]

The desire for sub-$300 blu-ray players has continued to increase given the popularity of the Playstation3 for just over that amount, and that lets you play games. Lucky for consumers, these prices have not only gone down but features have gone up as the manufacturers continue to embed more and more features (such as Netflix) into their boxes. Sound and […]
Read moreI guess every store just wants to have a kiosk in there for movie rentals. I think it’s good that Redbox is getting some competition. While they’ve been pretty impressive in their offerings, being a monopoly rarely ends up good for consumers. I did find it odd that Best Buy would allow these types of kiosks, given that I would […]

This was a tough week for the pick of the week with a lot of classic comedies being released. My heart really wanted to go with Big Trouble in Little China, a classic Kurt Russel-meets-kung-fu comedy. Waterboy was a very close 3rd for what it’s worth, arguably one of Adam Sandler’s finest pieces of work. In the end…. MissingRemote’s Pick […]

Remember when we posted this announcement from Universal regarding using your iPhone during movies? Well, the first title has finally been released for Fast & Furious…and no surprise, it’s rather useless as expected. Crunchgear maintains hope…I’m still fairly skeptical. Crunchgear Well, it delivers on what Universal said it would do and nothing else. It’s a pretty weak feature/app, but […]

This was just too odd NOT to post. I’m not sure for how long they’ve been manufacturing laser disc players–remember, those gigantic record size movies that sometimes were several discs for a single movie–but apparantly they still have stock and are trying to sell through. The funniest piece…they’re selling them for $1000 and $400 (yes, they have TWO models)! Good […]
