I'll have to look into it.Originally Posted by Unfiltered
Seriously. Go for it. If you already have the player, and it's good working order, it doesn't make much sense to try and dump it. That's what some of the other folks are doing. There are some really good titles that look and sound incredible. To get those at standard DVD pricing is a no-brainer.
Besides, how long do you think it'll be Uni gets their BR titles out? On Deep Discount right now, you can score HD DVD titles $12.20-18.89, and that was before the announcement today. (I started when BB and Netflix bailed.)
I feel like I bought a Sega Dreamcast...
Whoa! It's amazing how much a statement can change missing one letter. I meant to type "IT started when Netflix and Best Buy bailed" not "I started..."I'll have to look into it.

I still think folks with a decent sized HD DVD library are better off holding onto what they have and picking up some heavily discounted titles if their machine is still in working order.
Here you go, crybaby.
Trading Places Blu-ray
I know this may be trivla but I really hope that they stop using those stupid blue cases on Blu-Ray discs. It's a minor cosmetic thing, I know. I just feel that in most cases it looks really stupid and takes away from the cover art.
I don't know anything about the movie but I just wanted to include this as a perfect example of what I'm talking about.
Tacky
Not Tacky
HDD gave the PQ 4/5. That's pretty damned good for a 24 year old (when the BR was released) movie.
Audio wise 2.5/5, but that means nothing as this wasn't even (I think) a simple Dolby Surround mix.
HDD's Audio Quality portion of the review:
"Unsurprisingly for a 1983 film, the mix just sounds like stereo. I counted perhaps a half dozen discrete effects at best, and they are hardly effective at creating any sustained atmosphere. 'Trading Places' is also a very dialogue-heavy film, so even the sense of depth to the front channels is meager. Dynamic range is fair -- John Landis has a penchant for using classical and R&B songs on his soundtracks, which often reveal the limitations of this mix. High-end sounds a bit brittle, while there isn't much oomph to the low bass. Dialogue, generally sounds fine, if a bit hard to understand at lower volumes. In short, this one is listenable, but nothing more."
