First Blu-ray Disc Reviews Posted Online

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-about-star-wars? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With the first Blu-ray player and discs officially making their market debuts tomorrow, High-Def DVD Digest has posted the first reviews of three of the first Blu-ray discs -- The Fifth Element, 50 First Dates, and xXx. So what's the verdict? So far, in terms of video quality, the results seem to be mixed: standard DVD fave 'Fifth Element' underwhelmed ('just not the best HD I've seen'); likewise, 'xXx,' was a disappointment ('up close just looks like a messed-up bunch of dots'). Somewhat surprisingly, it's '50 First Dates' that ranked highest of the three in video quality ('holds its own with the best high-definition transfers out there')."

    Apparently /. agrees with most of the opinions. I received the following review trying to read this post: "Nothing for you to see here. Please move along." :)

      Wow, nice. You know, if you didn't think it was funny, mods, you could just not mod it funny. It was certainly on topic, though, so "Offtopic" is inaccurate for it. Now, THIS post is offtopic and should be modded as such.
