Reviewers - Blu-ray Forum

i was on dvdtown.com reading a review about 300 and i come across what this bloke said in the extras part:

''Extras:
We are in the middle of a format war. It is HD-DVD versus Blu-ray. One benefit of not being able to write my review prior to the street date is that I know that the Blu-ray disc outsold the HD-DVD disc by a 2-1 margin in its first week. Sadly, this is only because of the installed base of players. I´m going to tell you right now that the HD-DVD disc is easily the superior version. It contains a few incredible supplements that are completely absent on the Blu-ray release. A complete Bluescreen Picture-in-Picture Version of the film is present and shows the entire picture before the bluescreen effects were added. Some uber-cool web features are also present on the HD-DVD disc and completely absent here. I won´t spend time listing them here. John J. Puccio´s excellent review of the film does a great job of that. I for one, will be spending money to purchase the film on HD-DVD and my Blu-ray disc will sit idle.''

dvdtown has already declared their support for hd-dvd, so comments like that are no surprise.

i stopped accessing their site a long time before this happened - their reviewers are BY FAR the worst I've ever read - they have no idea what a good movie is, are practically illiterate and cannot be taken seriously in the least.

I use HD digest. Their review setup is pretty close to my own, so that's really why I use them. So far they haven't let me down.
