I'm sure the stars love all of those close-ups in hi deff! Every little imperfection for all to see. Good thing they can digitally enhance things away if they want to.

In POTC 3 I could see every little pore in Jhonny Depps nose! It was rather gross, really.

Not to mention how obvious it will be that those 10” beauties aren’t real.

I'm really surprised. The general public knowledge of electronics being what it is I figured that HD-DVD would win out simply by the HD-DVD to HD-TV association. I know a few folks (like my parents and a couple siblings) who think that BluRay is some totally foreign technology and don't understand it, but it looks as though they'll have to learn.

Interesting turn of events.

I think it is amusing that many new devises have food or color associations. Bluetooth, Blackberry, BlueRay.........

It's a good thing then that they're down to $250 now.

Next time you're over I'll demo Ratatouille in Bluray for you and you can tell me whatcha think

I bet the HD DVD players will come down in price

I just found out Ratatouille was digitally transferred direct to DVD, making for one helluva picture. Animation has always benefited most by picture clarity improvements, so I can only imagine how frelling cool the Blu Ray image looks. Yowza.

Cars was one of the first Blu Ray's where I really noticed a difference over the DVD version. The gold flecks in Lightning's paint job really pop. Other movies, like the Potter's, show less of a difference.
