if you read the previous post including my previous post you will see that there are people on here who do recognize the fact that Best Buy doesn't realize that this BD of Day After Tomorrow exists

back to the thread at hand...i am very excited to use this as a showoff movie...fun and interesting story that keeps it good, and great chance for amazing PQ...sounds like they succeeded so can't wait to show off blu!

WTF is this drivel? King Kong has I-Frame pulsing due to not enough bitrate, and has no lossless audio to boot. V for Vandetta is one of the crappiest looking transfers ive ever witnessed. Soft, Soft, Soft. Makes batman begins look sharp, and that is hard to do.

They are pretty messed up. I used to live by checking online to see if they have something in stock, until a few weeks ago, when I was mad they didnt have something I was looking for, but I decided to go in anyways. And they ended up having it. But, since this is a catalog title, I assume that BB cares little about it.

Copywriter · 10-02-2007, 02:25 PM

Guess I'll look for it when I'm at Target and Wal-Mart today. Mind as well skip BB.

As to a HD DVD title being better than a BLU title, that's possible. There's bound to be a title here and there that don't make use of BLUs ability.

Since V for Vendetta (great film) isn't coming to BLU any year soon, we'll just have to imagine what a all-out BLU copy would be like.

WickyWoo · 10-02-2007, 03:01 PM

Yeah, it seems to me that Fox is having some issues with communicating SKUs and such to retailers.

Eww - Look at this.

First off, i said "High bitrates AVC videocodecs", of course King Kong look better then some other BD's but not to those wich have really great high bitrate transfers!

i've seen King Kong on HD DVD by myself , yes indeed it has a good picture quality. but there are a lot of soft scenes wich could look much sharper with a higher bitrate, theres no way King Kong can keep up with Pirates for example, also King Kong has a suberp Master! just take a look at your DVD.

King Kong on HD DVD has some sharp images, but unfortunately NOT constant.

I couldn't find The Day After Tomorrow at Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA or Target. Guess I'll check again tomorrow and if I don't find it then, order it online.

Release day in my area seemed kind of messed up in general. Best Buy had a huge display for Fan4 as you walk in the door and another huge one in the movie section but no blu-rays for the Fantastic 4 Silver Surfer (also, no Day After Tomorrow as I already mentioned). They had everything else though so I picked up Dracula, Halloween, Day of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead and A Room with a View at BB.

Circuit City had about 30 Fantastic 4 blu-rays (maybe they got Best Buy's shipment) but nothing else for release day (picked up Fan4 Silver Surfer there). Target had a few Fantastic 4s but nothing else for today. CompUSA didn't have any of the new releases.

Edit: Ended up buying it locally at Suncoast. Also ordered it online at Circuit City and since it's already shipped, I guess I'll have 2 copies.

I don't have "King Kong" on HD DVD, so I can't comment on it, but "V For Vendetta" is only average when compared to most of my Blu-ray collection.

"The Chronicles Of Riddick", "The Mummy Returns", "The Hulk" and "The Scorpion King" are the only three exclusive titles I have on HD DVD which could even come close to surpassing my best Blu-ray releases.

I do have a handfull of other releases that are equal to a lot of my Blu-ray collection... "Serenity" and "Pitch Black" are two that come to mind...

~Alan<~~~~~~~Who would LOVE a "Serenity" Blu-ray with maxed out bitrate and Dolby TrueHD...

KenThompson · 10-02-2007, 05:55 PM

I to have been having trouble getting catalog titles from Best Buy. I have been to 3 different ones trying to find Underworld only to leave pissed off. I like to shop in the stores and check other things out but if they can't put the product on the shelf then perhaps I'll just have to get online.

robertc88 · 10-02-2007, 06:31 PM

Stop it! I got some errands and chores to do after work before I watch this. I really need to do those first! DAMN!!!

jamen6 · 10-03-2007, 08:10 AM

I have to say that I was really impressed wiht the picture and audio quality on the Day After Tomorrow release. Very good!

jamen6 · 10-03-2007, 08:10 AM

FOX has really stepped it up!

Beta-guy · 10-03-2007, 08:16 AM

Fox surpassed what I thought possible for Blu-ray in term of bandwidth, I'll be renting this movie ASAP, I can't wait to see this movie on my BD player

patrick99 · 10-03-2007, 09:55 AM

Unfortunately, this review is pretty far off. The PQ was disappointingly soft.

I thought FF4:SS looked very nice, but to me DAT PQ was disappointing.
