how is rock band!

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.

HD is a fad. It'll die before the Wii

I like my movies grainy and with that cozy old filter effect like how movies on tv look like, thank you

I can shift back and forth just fine

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.

There aren't and HD kung-fu movies except for Enter the Dragon. DVD ftw.

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

You don't know what you are talking about. I have BASIC INSTINCT 2 ON BLU RAY. DVD SUCX

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

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #18 on:** December 17, 2007, 11:57:12 PM »

I don't have an HDTV so I obviously don't care

yet

(although I haven't bought 2001 and will not be buying Blade Runner: The Final Cut on DVD)

he sang the same tune only yesterday, too

bububu DVDs are fine, investing in HD movies is dangerous

Watching non-HD movies makes me feel like it's 2005 again!

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #22 on:** December 18, 2007, 12:16:47 AM »

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.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #23 on:** December 18, 2007, 12:49:59 AM »

MAF, I told you that upscaling is not the same as True HD^TM. 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.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #24 on:** December 18, 2007, 12:58:24 AM »

MAF will buy I Am Legend on BRD!

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #25 on:** December 18, 2007, 02:29:16 AM »

Dont tell me how to shop!

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #26 on:** December 18, 2007, 02:30:36 AM »

Don't say I never warned you when you're eating Cheetos for weeks!

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #27 on:** December 18, 2007, 02:34:24 AM »

I dont eat! entertainment before food! lulz

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #28 on:** December 18, 2007, 02:35:54 AM »

Oh fuk, I think you started a new fad. The Blu-ray diet!

Watch True HD and lose weight fast!

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
