Truth (cough) be told, I look at that lineup and think "meh." On BOTH sides. Enjoy your Jane Austen Book Club...*yawn* No, I'm not bringing that one up just to pick on Blu-Ray, but c'mon, that Jesse James movie is probably the best of the bunch, and I've heard nary a peep about the movie IRL. Not so much as an, "um, yeah, it was OK."]]>Feb 5th 2008 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-february-5th-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-february-5th-2008/
Uh, are sure about the release date for HDDVD? HidefDigest has it set for March 18th release?

http://hddvd.highdefdigest.com/1307/assassinationofjessejames.html

Although Amazon is stating "This title will be released on February 26, 2008".

As a side note, I noticed Amazon's warning to HDDVD customers:
"Warner Bros. has announced plans to discontinue its support of the HD DVD format after May 31, 2008. See a list of Warner HD DVD titles."

Good to see responsible retailers....

Think about it!
- Lots of good movies that are still only coming out and have come out on HD DVD only.
- Even if and/or when Paramount/Universal make the transition to Blue ray, the previously released moves will take quite some time before they are re-released in Blue.
- You still get a bunch of pretty good movies for free.
- The way things are going, you can pick up more HD DVDs really cheap when they start clearing them out.
- At a $100 to $127 it’s pretty easy to justify the entertainment value even if you just used the movies that came free (7 all together).

On a side note: Does anyone know if Blue ray has any intention of renewing the free blue ray disc promotions? I really wanted to take advantage of that.

They'd be better off actually coming up with a range of mass-market friendly profile 2.0 players with a decent spread of prices & specs.

So far all they have is a pretty lame game console
(which is why their claims of 'we already won' are so laughably ridiculous - they have the PS3 niche, nothing more).

They just don't seem to want to face reality, far too many of us will never put a game console in our a/v racks.

As for profile 2.0, it's always nice to have new features but you are deluded if you think that internet connectivity or lack thereof is a killer feature. Perhaps you'll be good enough to point to all the wonderful ways HD DVD discs use internet access? And which of them justify a regular consumer with an internet connection (therefore implying they have a computer) running an ethernet cable to the back of a movie player? The same holds true of profile 2.0 in case you're wondering.]]>Feb 4th 2008 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-february-5th-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-february-5th-2008/Feb 4th 2008 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-february-5th-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-february-5th-2008/

Check the "disc player of the year"
And .. the A30 as "budget" .. lol.

You also forget the Panny BD30K, a very good Bonus View player by all accounts, and plenty of people seem happy with their Sharp Aquos player, or their Samsung/Sony for that matter.

Plenty of new players coming in Q2 anyway, so if you really must have a BD+ profile player to be happy, that'll come.]]>Feb 4th 2008 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-february-5th-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-february-5th-2008/
LMAO.

More accurately -

1 half-a$$ed interim player
(through an update claimed to give full profile 1.1 abilities, which I've yet to see fully proved by anyone independent)
with all the 'extra' capability of an interactive CD.
Oooooh.

LMAO

"plenty of profile 2.0 players" eh?

Like what, hmmmmmm?

The usual ridiculously over-priced tat, the game console (with an update, so they claim), a buggy Samsung & a laughably poor Daewoo.

That's not what I'd call an impressive line-up

........oh and I'll believe it when i see it, they spent an age repeatedly delaying profile 1.1 so I've not much confidence that profile 2.0 will appear on time - I see the Denon profile 2.0 has already been repeatedly delayed. ]]>Feb 4th 2008 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-february-5th-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/04/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-february-5th-2008/

Distributed by Warner, so region free. Ok, so it's almost $43, but that's Australian dollars so the conversion will be cheaper for Americans & Europe. So if you really must have it might be worth import.
