Post by: MrAngryFace on October 23, 2007, 01:42:49 PM: Age of Apocalypse and Maximum Carnage are the two comic arcs I ever remember. Well I remember Maximum Clonage which was bullshit.

Marvel Zombies looks hilarious, I need to check it out.

Title: Re: What did you buy this Tuesday
Post by: Eel O'Brian on October 23, 2007, 06:29:39 PM: I got the Clockwork Orange HD-DVD. That Moviestop trade-in thing is pretty decent - you trade in four DVDs (doesn't matter if you bought them PVD from BLockbuster, or out of the Wal-Mart bin, or whatever) and you get a new release free (up to $20). I traded in some old PVDs and paid $5.33 for the Clockwork Orange. I have The Shining and FMJ Deluxe HD-DVDs reserved for the same deal, but those hadn't come in on the shipment yet when I got there. I'll check this evening. I went ahead and reserved The Aviator and that Blade Runner complete edition while I was there. If you have a Moviestop in your area and a bunch of DVDs you want to get rid of but which aren't really worth anything, this is a pretty good deal.

Post by: Rman on October 23, 2007, 06:31:40 PM: TVC, I know you own both HD players, but why did you choose the HD-DVD versions of the Kubrick titles? Is it a better transfer?

TVC, I know you own both HD players, but why did you choose the HD-DVD versions of the Kubrick titles? Is it a better transfer?

HD-DVD transfers are surprisingly more dependable because they use the best and most efficient video codecs. Blu-ray very often uses the older Mpeg-2 codecs because they have the capacity for them. Unfortunately, a bigger sized Mpeg-2 transfer often looks worse than a smaller sized AVC transfer. Also, for some reason, some Hd-dvd releases have also had better soundtracks than their Blu-ray counterparts. It makes no sense since Blu-ray has more capacity but that's just the way things have been.

don't. i have one of those for xbox. the d-pad sucks and the whole thing feels like it's made of cardboard

and your information is way out of date, sg
Title: Re: What did you buy this Tuesday
Post by: Smooth Groove on October 23, 2007, 06:48:27 PM: I know it's not as common now but in general, it's probably still safer to go with the Hd-dvd version. There havel been a couple of recent releases that have better audio or features on the Hd-dvds. The good thing is that most dual-releases have the same AVC transfers now.
