Recommended Posts

Was looking at the Gamefaqs forums, and saw Best Buy are doing a deal, Buy the HD DVD player and get Heroes season 1 HDDVD and 2 HDDVD's of your choice for free.

 

If we got a deal like that in the UK, I would not think twice about buying one.

In terms of quality its the worst player but yeah in access times its not so bad as its fast. Plus its a cheap add on. Doesnt do HD sound etc. PQ is so so for HDDVD. You get what you pay for here. Its not a bad stop gap solution if you dont mind spending that much.

 

If it doesnt do HD Sound how was I able to watch Transformers in Dolby Digital plus then?

It doesnt support Dolby True HD

Click the above link for differences.

 

To be fair I think it's the Xbox that can't do Dolby HD. If you use the xbox HD DVD drive in a computer you would be able to get Dolby HD. But yes, it is a cheap solution.

 

On the other hand. How many people have a dolby HD decoder in the first place?

Does anyone know if Die Hard 4.0 is coming out on HD DVD?

 

Nope, it's a Fox movie who only support Blu Ray. As for how good the HD-DVD drive is. It's pretty damn awesome for what it is. It's load speeds are the best, ok it doesn't do hd sound (not every HD-DVD does either, and little if no Blu Ray do) and it's picture quality is good.

Can someone with the drive tell me, if you've ever tried, if the HD-DVD player plays imported DVDs?

I know I'm not really thinking into it, but instead of just trying to work out/being explained could someone just try it and see if it works?

Ta.

It won't play any standard definition DVD. Or if you meant imported HD-DVD then yes, it will.

Well then that sucks. Don't know if I watch DVDs enough to warrant a purchase.

Oh, oops. A few reviews stated you couldn't, maybe it was a firmware update or some such thing (or the reviewers are retards)
