Especially the bottom line on that cover art..

Alles oder nichts...Well I figure they get NOTHING

Now we'll just have to wait for Kinowelt to go Blu-Ray exclusive and I'll be sure to order T2 Extreme Edition on Blu-Ray with 1080p/24 and DTS HD-MA 7.1

Now post that in the AVF thread about warner. that would be funny.

Blu-Style · 01-10-2008, 02:53 PM

I guess Constantin & Highlight have some connections between each other...
maybe constantin owns highlight.

well, whatever.

Done. I expect to earn some infraction points there on grounds of posting bad news or something.

much more excited about what the guy from fye/suncoast said, versus the german distributor.

hd dvd is dead, i cannot believe they have not thrown in the towel.

Hopefully retailers will make the necessary decisions that would end this war immediately.

Luis_A51 · 01-10-2008, 07:45 PM

I think retailers will do so after the christmas returns limit expires, so they dont get flooded with christmas hddvd players.
