Lost Planet, Superman Returns and the XBox 360 HD DVD

Two things came in the mail yeasterday. First was my XBox 360 HD DVD drive with King Kong, I hooked it up and hit play. Now, I have a Sony Grand WEGA 50" LCD with the 360 running at 1080i. I sat there looking at the movie and the only thing I noticed for a while was people with bad skin. There was one scene where Jack Black was on the deck of a ship at night and the lighting caused his face to be patches of orange and grey. Really didn't do anything fro me. I was getting ready to put it back on EBay when they hit the island. Action scenes are what HD DVD is made for. It blew me away. So I'm keeping it and waiting fro the price of HD DVDs to drop a little more or a sale. DeepDiscountDVD.com has some good prices, but last tiem I ordered UMD movies from them, they sent me the wrong titles and didn't respond to my emails so I stay away from them. Second thing that came was Lost Planet. Great visuals, OK game play. The grappling hook reminds me of playing Halo online with people who "customizes" their characters. You can only dash in the VR machines. If you jump, there is a second when you land that you can't move. And you have to keep collecting thermal energy or you'll die. I blasted throught the first actual level on hard with no problems. Not really interested in finishing it. Finally, I've been playing Superman Returns. It was fun for a while, until I figured out how to kill things faster. The last two times I played, I fell asleep flying around waiting fro something to happen. I'm 80% done and I have to finish, if I can stay awake. Finally, I've started renting from GameznFlicks.com. Not a great selection, but the prices are great. Much cheaper that GameFly and the speed seems the same up here in the Northeast.
