[jenks]

I'm am totally going to buy TAoT when it is released in england on the first day April 14th which is in...um i don't know the date today but its in about .....11 days i think and i'm definitly getting Coninuum on DVD to.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the UK release has been pushed back to the 28th.

Buying the movies ensures there will be more to come in the future. I for one buy the DVD sets and now AoT and I will buy Continuum and anything else the franchise aims at my forehead.

Same here.

IMHO quality. The picture quality was better and it was more affordable.

The format war is over, damn it, why continue this propaganda sh**??

The picture quality of HD DVD was not better than Blu-Ray. Period. Fact, not opinion. Blu-Ray has the exact same techincal specs as far as video goes - same resolution, same codecs - except it has a higher bitrate capacity (which means, theoretically, Blu-Ray can have better quality video than HD DVD ever could - but that's not the point). There is no way technically possible that HD DVD would achieve better video quality than Blu-Ray using the same source and encoding. Again, these are facts. It is not up to personal preference or opinion.

grumble... I thought we were done with this crap now...

Actually that is opinion.The only reason Blu Ray won was because Sony refused to let any of their movies be made on HDDVD.

Actually that is opinion.

No. Everything I wrote was based on hard facts. End of story.

If it is fact, lets see some sources.

Cool, I was going to buy a copy here for a friend in Australia. But if they are going to release it this quickly then I won't get it for him.

My source is anywhere that lists the basic specs of HD DVD and BluRay. Look it up anywhere. Saying that BluRay doesn't have the same (or better) potential for picture quality as HD DVD is like insisting that someone telling you the sky is blue is a liar because in your opinion the sky is pink.

Considering I own an HDDVD player I disagree.

*sigh*

You disagree with what? That the specs are what they are? Because that's all I've been trying to tell you.

Both HD DVD and Blu-Ray can have a resolution of 1080p. Right or wrong? (Hint: It's right.)
Both HD DVD and Blu-Ray support codecs MPEG-2, VC-1 and AVC. Right or wrong? (Hint: It's right.)

In other words, the two formats do exactly the same thing as far as picture quality goes. You say you own an HDDVD player. Good for you. I'm sure it gives you beautiful picture quality when watching movies. But to say that Blu-Ray can't do the same, is nothing short of an outright lie.

But you said Blu Ray was superior which you just stated it wasn't. I guess I just preferred HD DVD.

No he never, he just showed how matched they are when comparing picture quality, but BluRay has it's advantages however, like it's superior storage capacity for example.

I we were walking into JB-HI just now to by a new DVD player (the old one dided) and AoT was just inside the door, two days before I thought it was going to be. The problem is now I have to wait for the men of the house to figure out how to conect the new DVD player until I can watch it .
