good, got to seattle then played a bunch of the bonus tour, I fear the difficulty change between medium and hard. Guitar Hero did a better job having a scale within a tier, but this is still fun. If I wanna challenge I can always cry at the metallica songs

We had a drunk girl rock band party at my house tonight which was fun as hell.  It's the only time I play the game, really.

With a good upscaling DVD player I don't have a problem watching normal DVDs but maybe that's because I watch a lot of them and rarely rent/buy HD-DVDs.

I love me some HD DVD. With that said, for the most part, the HD/BRD catalogues suck dick right now. So until they have the variety and bredth of the DVD library, then regular old DVD will always have a place in my rotation alongside my HD DVDs.

Yep.  I'm with you MAF.  I agree with Solo, though.  I really wanted to take advantage of the Amazon Bluray BOGO sale, but none of the films appealed to me.  Though I only own a bluray player, (read: PS3) the HD-DVD catalog is much more compelling at the moment.

scenester: not going home for christmas, so I will then! I gotta use my ps3 to get past region stuff :)

For reference, I was watching Big Lebowski last night and the transfer just looked kinda buh. Either its the DVD or PS3 upscaling STILL sucks

Weird that a few months ago MAF was still certain that DVDs were "fine"... hmmmm, who was right in the end?

I'm watching Dog Day Afternoon in HD right now, and I bet it's a better picture quality than they saw in theaters back in 1975.

MAF, I told you that upscaling is not the same as True HDTM.  I've got to warn you that this is an expensive road you're going down.  I already have about 55 HD/BD.  With sales, I estimate that each disc costs about $20 which brings the total to 1100 bucks before tax.  Wallet am cry.

Those BOGO sales are killing me

I bought so much, so much.  I bought the two Underworld movies based on MAF's ravings alone.

I actually hope they don't have any more BOGO this year, because I have no self-control
