Well it is a good review. They have been doing that more often lately. They can not deny the truth and can't hide from the facts much longer.
They may actually realize the BD has the lead.

Yeah i heard from other posts that it was grainy. But after that review I ll go out and get it

MasterXeus · 12-04-2007, 04:56 PM

I've never had problem with Highdefdigtest.com reviews. I know that a lot of them like extras so Blu-rays seem to have lower ratings overall, but looking at only Picture and Audio qualities, the reveiws have been pretty good so far.

Razzy · 12-04-2007, 05:03 PM

Sounds like a must buy. Money's too tight right now though so it'll have to wait until after Xmas.

T-Town Oil · 12-04-2007, 05:04 PM

that review makes me want it

coolmilo · 12-04-2007, 05:07 PM

Yeah, I just pulled the trigger. 5 Star reviews are what I am all about.

there nitourious for being what i call codec bias lol

and plus the reason why he gave it 4 and half stars is becuase

It's not really a complaint, but the opening and closing acts of "Cast Away' a bit more plain, at least in terms of bright colors and picturesque visuals. However, this is obviously intentional, and even here the transfer doesn't falter. The visual palette is muted but fleshtones hold firm, and there is still a great deal of depth and dimensionality throughout. The presentation is also nice and sharp, with no irritating edge enhancement or other compression issues. Now seven years old, 'Cast Away' fully qualifies as a Blu-ray catalog title, but it's one of the best I've seen yet from Fox.

Looks like he gave it 4.5 for PQ, 5 for AQ.

Now it's 4 1/2 stars for video. I replied in that thread asking what happened because I know it was initially 5/5 for video/audio.

Perhaps he got a call from the people who write the checks.

Looks like more proof that they are full of red colored shit over there. Maybe you can come up for a new excuse for them again or maybe your little brain will finally see the light this time.

It's been corrected back to 5 stars for both PQ and SQ.

What are you implying? That because they thought blu ray was losing they wrote negative reviews and now they think they are winning they're writing positive ones? I don't think the merits or flaws of any disc review should be based on how good they're faring against their rival format.

More like they were more biased against Blu-ray but now see that Blu-ray is doing better than they thought and are not giving lower reviews to Blu-ray discs.
But honestly all their recent reviews have been consistent and often have good reviews for Blu-ray discs.

ProvenFlipper · 12-04-2007, 06:33 PM

Now I want this disc... I told myself that I wouldn't get it last thursday when Fry's had it staring me in the face.

zak88lx · 12-04-2007, 06:37 PM

Who the hell posted the message saying that the PQ was utter crap?
Because of that post I removed Cast Away from my Christmas wish list!
