Re: I AM LEGEND details (More Blu-ray content than HD-DVD)

Considering bluray has enjoyed most of the studio support from day 1

Even with that "extra" support, the number of Blu-ray titles released compared to HD DVD weren't that far apart until recently. So I'm not sure what your point is here. And heck, most of you format fanboys have been saying how only the good movies you like were on HD DVD anyway!

BTW I just finished watching The Matrix on HD DVD. It looks and sounds fantastic!

Yes it does, although I could have done without even the minor edge enhancement. Is this the first time you've seen it on HD? I figured by your posting that you were one of the ol'HD DVD fanboy folk who paid over $500 for their player like so many of us. Any hoot, there are even better transfers than this on HD DVD (and movies too), although the original Matrix is certainly a good one.

That's only the stance until BD-Live becomes the Blu standard, then you'll see Blu fanboy posts saying how important Blu's features are.

And it seems the majority of the HD DVD fanboys who criticize Blu-ray because of the lack of 2.0 Web features do not have their HD DVD player connected to the Internet anyway.

LOL. That's only the stance until BD-Live becomes the Blu standard, then you'll see Blu fanboy posts saying how important Blu's features are.

I know I won't, and I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of Blu-ray owners don't either. That's why I didn't mind spending a couple of hundred dollars for my Philips stand-alone about a year ago. I knew that I could watch my movies with great audio and video quality, and that I could access most of the special features of each and every movie, so I was fine with that. I also knew, that I would buy several more players and pc drives in the near future (all profile 2.0) that will all be able to play every feature of every disc, so this is another pointless argument.
