Gino Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 These are the 2 movies I've been looking forward to for HD-DVD. My current collection is mostly made up of movies I've seen plenty of times and liked enough to own. My favourite so far is Rebellion (Equilibrium - see here) and HP4-GOF, but am really looking forward to these 2 movies. I intentionally didn't watch them at the cinemas in anticipation of being able to watch at home. Good reviews: http://hddvd.highdefdigest.com/departed.html http://hddvd.highdefdigest.com/babel.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mining Man Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 ~My favourite so far is Rebellion (Equilibrium - see here) ... ~ I can't open that link at work. Is it the same as this Equilibrium? I've only seen that one once, and I really enjoyed it. Although, I think it would have been a bit better at your place. I was watching it on a 34cm TV in my room on a mining camp in the middle of the NT... EDIT: at home now. Yep, that's the same one. Bloody great isn't it!!

AndrewW Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I have the departed on pre-order from Amazon .... grrr its so popular that its sold out, although apparently you can still pick up a BD copy :ph34r: I also have intentionally not seen it yet, and can't wait to watch it in HD glory.

Hydrology Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Have both on pre-order, on HD-DVD. Interesting the HD-DVD version of The Departed is sold out, does that deserve its own thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting the HD-DVD version of The Departed is sold out, does that deserve its own thread? yes, if the situation was reversed, because it would obviously prove that BD has won the war :ph34r: check out avsforums, lots of people unable to get a copy on HD DVD, it was/is very popular. Although apparently its pretty easy to walk into any store and buy it on BD ... Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewW Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Maybe BD owners dont like though provoking dramas? or maybe Sony's quoted BD attach rate for the PS3 of 80% was a complete and utter crock ... Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momaw Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Only one format gives you these great titles now no matter where you are or where you bought your player don't care if that sounds fanboi'ish. I just love enjoying HD movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamma Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 both on order for me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voicecoils Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Saw both in the theaters and "The Departed" I saw twice. 1.85:1 for Babel 2.35 for The Departed There's good info at hddvd.highdefdigest.com in their reviews of both films regarding their audio & video on HD-DVD. Are you running CIH these days Gino? I think you'll really enjoy both flicks. How many films do you reckon you've put through your setup so far?

ajm1503559545 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I really want both these discs but the idea of paying $40+ for the Departed just irks me no end. These combo discs are the biggest rip off since the format was created - no use to anyone and no alternative. So I'll wait a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These combo discs are the biggest rip off since the format was created - no use to anyone and no alternative.So I'll wait a bit. Yep, I have 6 combo titles sitting in my cart at amazon. They've been there for a couple of week's while I procrastinate. I swore I would not buy these combo's, but they are title's I really want. I pisses me off that I have to pay $9 more to get a second disk that I don't need. Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
