[QUOTE="Gzus666"][QUOTE="BlacKJaCK2290"][QUOTE="Gzus666"][QUOTE="BlacKJaCK2290"]You picked movies from the BD exclusive studios dude of course their not on Bd with the exception of Happy Feet.washimul
troll? you know HD-DVD is done, its been in the workings for months. blu-ray wins, guess its not the next betamax Yep im such a troll, i guess buying a PS3 for BD and owning over 16 Blu Ray movies qualifies me as a troll doesn't it. i think it does
How do you figure that makes him a troll?
look at the GEARS OF WAR icon in his avtar........tht is very exposing :)
HHAHA your guys are funny, one guy says HD-DVD is not done, another guy says HD-DVD is done, and its the guy that says HD-DVD is not done that is being name called.....You guys crack me up..
[QUOTE="m3Boarder32"][QUOTE="gp19"]I don't really care who wins becuase I have both players (PS3 and 360 add-on). What doesn't make sense to me is why people think that a disc capable of holding 50gb on its dual layer format will be beaten by one that holds close to 30.eclipsed4utoo
A standalone HD-DVD player is $265 brand new. They will be under $200 in no time. blu-ray players will be around $300 by the end of the year. can you give me a link to that $265 HD-DVD player?
[QUOTE="gmsnpr"][QUOTE="planbfreak4eva"]sectoid go check dixons.co.uk and search blu ray and then hd dvd and you will see that hd dvd goes up to 1080i only and check blu ray and it says 1080p i aint makign up anythinghcho3
This is incorrect. All of the HD-DVDs that I've looked at in-store are 1080p. After a firmware update on the Toshiba player, it outputs 1080p.
That's incorrect... Only TOSHIBA HD-DVD player that will go up to 1080P is Toshiba HD A2. According to ign, this is the only HD-DVD player that will output 1080P. And this player costs just as much as blu-ray players. If not, more.
Err you wanna play that game? Well the HDXA2 does 1080p24, and it's available for $580 brand new. The cheapest Bluray player capable of 1080p24 cost $1050 dollars. Not only that, but the HDXA2 is the best upconverting DVD player out on the market, better at upconverting DVD's then even the $1300 dollar Bluray players

[QUOTE="mu5afir"][QUOTE="BlacKJaCK2290"]BD has UPCM and HD DVD has TrueHD big whoop. That article proves nothing, its just some guys opinion.BlacKJaCK2290
True HD? What is "true" HD? Dolby TrueHD Audio, lossy audio.
Thats not lossy audio, its lossless audio. Dolby Digital Plus is lossy, TrueHD is lossless.
I have a optical 5.1 surround sound system in my basement hooked up to a 60" Sony projection TV - lemme tell ya, Resistance looks and sounds AMAZING on it. It kind of gives you an unfair advantage in online play, too, because the way Resistance works (and, I assume, most nearly every other PS3 game) is that it moves the sound across the speakers as you move the player. So, if an explosion happenned to your left, you could hear where it came from, and that way you could spot the enemy quicker. It's like that for many other games, I'm sure, so if anyone out there has the money for it - it would be a much better addition to your home theater system than a HD-DVD player, which would cost you about the same :P
Like m3boarder32, I also have the Onkyo TXSR604. My PS3 is set to "Video 3" by the way... urazn13
So your using HDMI for audio? Your first sentance makes it sound like your using optical only? Anyway, yeah Resistance sounds amazing thru HDMI, it has uncompressed audio up to 7.1 i believe.
[QUOTE="dru26"][QUOTE="BroweChisox"][QUOTE="dru26"]You do not need HDMI for your reciever to output DTS. I use optical, on my Kenwood 5.1. Alot of people are also getting suckered into buying HDMI recievers that only have an HDMI passthrough. A true HDMI reciever is well over $1000.BroweChisox
You are wrong. There are plenty of cheap options such as the Denon AVR-887, widely accepted as the best 'future proof' cheap receiver. We were not arguing about hearing regular compressed DTS like you are hearing, but uncompressed lossless audio, which you are NOT hearing. You would be astounded at the difference... probably even more since you are stuck listening to a Kenwood receiver...yuck. You must have had some tight budget constraints at the time huh? My surround sound unit was only $400, and was bought for a small to mid sized room, it is currently doing the job in a larger living room now. Compared to Sony units of the same price range it was much better. I am in the market for an Onkyo or Polk unit now but most true HDMI sets were pretty expensive, as compared to cheaper passthrough recievers. You should not be looking at Sony units, all but one are really not worth buying. Onkyo is a good reliable brand for novices, so that is a good starting point. Polk does not make receivers, and they make some decent speakers. Not sure where you are doing your research, but I hope you didn't believe that Polk made receivers or amps.
All your recommended "bargain" receivers are around $700..
