Default HDD getting desperate for reviews?

http://hddvd.highdefdigest.com/1324/...alypse_de.html

now they are reviewing imported movies????

i don't frequent over there often, but ive never seen this before. they always seemed to alternate reviewing blu-ray movies and hd dvd movies, recently its been more like 2:1, but now they are doing imports just to keep up with blu-ray.

They've reveiwed HD-DVD exclusives that were released overseas in Blu too. They're not desparate now, unless they were desparate then.

Didn't Constantin Films announce they're switching to Blu-ray exclusively?

They reviewed my import of Face/Off on Blu-ray in October and I still am getting told the review will be posted "in a few weeks" - I got the disc back from Kenneth in early November!

I think they want to review HD DVD imports but not Blu-ray ones.

I sent it to them so they could review it at the same time as the Face/Off HD DVD, but I guess...who knows? With Resident Evil getting reviewed at the same time I'm starting to feel like a bit of an ass for offering it to them in the first place.

DVD Talk has random hi-def reviews that show up on the top right of the page while you're browsing the forums. Almost every one is blu now

To my understanding they review imported movies if someone will ship it to them to review, then they will return it (obviously).

So if you want more import reviews for Blu-Ray import some then ship them to High Def Digest. A problem may be region coding, maybe HDD doesn't want to take the chance of obtaining a disc that is the wrong region. HD DVD never had that problem.
