Question for BD owners who also have HD DVD

[ProvenFlipper]

Good call on the Terminator... I thought it looked really impressive for a movie made in '84. And I was viewing it on a 'flawed' Samsung player.

I wouldn't reccommend xXx, HOFD or Saw at all, but I do agree with the other movies Brian commented on.

I'm not sure if you bought the Warner BD titles on HD-DVD already, but any one of them are worthy of a purchase on BD. I have seen Training Day, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and Good Night, and Good Luck.

Let me know if you have any questions on a specific title, as I've seen pretty much all of them on the market right now, with the exception of a few.

Yeah perhaps I should have included which titles I am interested in pending if they have good PQ. Here's the list of potentials...

The Devil's Rejects (Lions Gate)
50 First Dates (Sony)
Into The Blue (Sony)
RV (Sony)
Silent Hill (Sony)
Species (Sony)
Terminator 2: Judgement Day (Lions Gate)
Total Recall (Lions Gate)

I own and have watched all of those movies. I would reccomend all of the them as I thought they all looked good. T2 does have the slight studder at times, but often you have to be looking for it. It looks good, but not as crisp as some of the more recent movies that are on BD. All of the other titles which are Sony titles look good, though at times have slight posterization. RV had some minor blockiness in a few dark scenes, but I'm not sure if that was my display or the player, or possibly a combination of both. I'm still going to watch the movies again, and I'm sure I will enjoy them all when I watch them again.

Species (Sony)
The Devil's Rejects (Lions Gate)
Total Recall (Lions Gate)

I own Devil's Rejects and Total Recall, yet I didn't get a chance to watch them before I had to return my player. I'm very anxious to see what these titles look like, especially seeing how good Stargate looked.

This list has been super helpful. Brian how good is the AQ in HOFD good enough to give a great home theater demo or what? I'm curious as I used to use it as a demo dvd and would love to use it as a demo blu-ray.

HOFD audio the drum dance is frigging awesome on the uncompressed PCM.

It would be awesome to use as home theater demo. The forest fight scene really shows off the seperation and dynamic range of uncompressed PCM. As Kevin says the 'bean scene' is good too, but IMO the forest scene would make for a better demo.

I bought HOFD only because A) I like the flick & B) the audio is phenom!

Haven't bought any of those, not really interested in the movies themselves. I have everything I want from Warner already on HD DVD anyway.
