Following the link, it says that this is the US version - they're the same except the narrator is Sigorney Weaver (Ghostbusters!) instead... Crazy (although maybe it'd be better - sometimes I have a hard time understanding what the narrator is saying with his thick accent, and I need to use the subtitles :) ).
"HD DVD continues to catch up to Blu-ray and is now within seven,"
I would like to point out (since this site never does) that HD DVD actually has MORE titles than Blu-Ray, if you count international releases such as Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Reign of Fire, Brother's Grimm, etc (yes, you can get BD "exclusive" titles for HD DVD, go figure). Since BD isn't region coded, these titles SHOULD count, but this site doesn't like to mention that despite numerous people bringing it up. Heck, HighDefDigest even reviews many of them for us!
The site doesn't mention it because you can't find those imported titles in stores, and thus their volume and availability is very low. Furthermore you pay a small price premium to import them over domestic releases. All of those are factors why Joe Sixpack will never take advantage of importing the titles, and therefore they are not relevant to all but a few early adopters.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
