First HD-DVD Disc Reviews - Mixed Marks 262

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday April 18, 2006 @10:08AM from the welcome-to-the-party dept.

An anonymous reader writes "As the first HD-DVD players and discs hit store shelves nationwide today, the new site High-Def DVD Digest has posted extraordinarily detailed reviews of the HD-DVD disc releases of 'Serenity' and 'The Last Samurai,' with more reviews to come later today. The site gives both discs mixed marks, with the Tom Cruise flick edging out the Whedon-fest for demonstrating more pure high-def eye-candy appeal. Also worth a look-see: a detailed account of their 'review reference system' (ie: their gear)."

I would love to try this out on my own - but I have to get back to work. Another 5-6 years of overtime should help me afford the reference system.

I'm trying to think of a way for you to be cruder. It's just not coming.

Average joe will probably be working out with vince vaughn, or possibly stephen root, and as such will probably not care about HD.

Thanks, I'll wait for Blu-Ray (Score:3, Funny)

No, thanks, I'll wait for Blu-Ray. After all, Sony has such a great track record with media formats: Beta, MD, MemoryStick, SACD, UMD.

I just can't wait to lay my hands on this blu-ray goodness, there's just no chance that HD-DVD might win!

PS ;)

PPS For me, both formats look like crap from the consumer's point of view... I'll just stick to PAL upconverted to 720p, thankyouverymuch.
