Official HD DVD site has been redesigned

Check it out.. )

www.thelookandsoundofperfect.com

i guess upgrades are cool, but to me i looked better before. i just dont see the point of some things. specially the cartoon.

"...to me i looked better before."

Didn't we all.

haha, yeah i messed up. lol

by the way the upcoming movies release calendar looks really depressing.

That new look has Microsoft written all over it!

I'm pretty sure this was not the creation of Microsoft.

The coders have used the open source web software php. A competing coding format to Microsofts .net

Kucoloco this hasn't exactly been a banner year at the cinema and it's not getting any better. The movies this year have been disappointing but admittedly I have not seen them all. There's a few like Eastern Promises that I wish I had seen but I will definitely check out on video. The only releases I'm looking forward to on hidef is the Bourne Trilogy, Eastern Promises, Harry Potter, Stardust and of course Blade Runner.

Hopefully next year will be more enticing at the cinema

I meant the whole redesign. The layout...the graphics...the style - very Microsoft!

"...very Microsoft."

Perhaps you'd like to explain that a bit further. Certainly, the new Toshiba site looks nothing even remotely resembling any of Microsoft's own official sites. Nor does the new Toshiba site look like a Microsoft operating system (Windows) or an Internet Explorer browser. What exactly is the look of "microsoft" you see?

Maybe he thinks it was created using Microsoft FrontPage

No! I hate Front Page. Notepad is the way to go! If you use an editor you can't very well call yourself a web programmer, now can you?

As for the look, if you can't see it there's no use explaining.

Ah a true site designer. I used to make my sites using Notepad as well but this was years ago so I know a lot has changed since then. I remember writing the code and my friend was like what are you doing? :p He was designing web sites back then also but he was using software to do it. If people knew how easy it actually is to do writing the code they would probably do it that way. Its cleaner and it works so smoothly.

The code way is easier and with code designers you get in DreamWeaver and Visual Studio 2005 it makes it even easier. Of course, I work with developers that want to use design view so they can drag and drop controls. Yeah, developers that want to take short cuts away from any code... Go figure?

I too, along with many web designers, hate Front Page! And Microsoft isn't tricking me by renaming it Expessions Web.

Kinda like art, huh?

I'm gonna' have to go with NO on it looking too Microsoft. It looks more DVDTOWN than anything else! LOL Besides, the home page info thingy is all in Flash, which is MS nemesis. If it was MS that piece would have been done in their new Flash competitor, Silverlight.
