Hi-Def does'nt always have to mean cristal clear, just reproduce what I get in the cinema or better and I'll be happy. For example if ever they stick War of the Worlds (Re-make) on Hi-Def then it'll look bleached out as much as it did on DVD etc and will look muted and colourless but it'll be how the director wanted it.. personally I never had a problem with 300 in the cinema so don't see why I should now.

Welcome to the forum, the more the merrier...

The process you describe for Steven Spielberg's War Of The Worlds seems to be a trend of his latley and I like it. He did the same thing with Minority Report and A.I. all of these titles I hope comes to blu-ray. Regarding 300 I've downloaded the trailer and I'm sure the blu-ray will look even better. I will have on problems on this one.
