No HD-DVD Movies Until April

Jed from Pan and Scan writes "It's official: when the first HD-DVD players are released on March 28, there will be no movie titles available in the new high-def format for at least another three weeks, and far fewer than initially announced. Warner, the only studio that was planning on having HD-DVD movies to accompany the format's much ballyhooed debut, will now release just three initial HD-DVD titles -- and not until April 18."

    'The Matrix' is one of the ugliest movies I've ever seen. It's green. It is also one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It sucks. Hard.

    If you want to see a good looking (and good) movie try 'Lawrence of Arabia'.

    ...as the typical Slashdot crowd says how unnecessary HD-DVD and Blu-ray are, and how only a small fringe group of people really care about it, and then go back to saying how OGG support should be in everything.

    As a Blu-ray supporter, anything that helps HD-DVD stumble is okay in my book.

  3. MOD BASED ON CAPS LOCK TITLE by Overly+Critical+Guy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Congratulations! You can't argue my points, so you resort to a caps lock laden title ordering moderators to censor me because my opinion disagrees with yours. Baa!

    I love how I simply must be working for a studio if I dare suggest that people get paid for their work. Baa! Baa!

    How long will it be before someone like DVD Jon finds a workaround for the DRM?

  5. iraq war cost could have paid for 100m HDTVs by cheekyboy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If bush didnt invade iraq, he could have paid for

    * 100million 42" HDTVs for every one (except the illegal 20m mexicans)
    * 50million xbox360s
    * 100million bluRay players

    Ofcourse no american company makes HDTVs in america so all that cash would have been spent
    in china paying sony.
