I thought everyone said the Simpsons Movie was disappointing :P I'm waiting for it to drop in price to get it :)

Well everyone around here swore by it, so despite my better judgement I listened to them.

I have much regret.

The Simpsons Movie is, basically, a 90 minute episode of "The Simpsons" with more swearing, Homer flipping people off, and...male nudity.

Oh, I totally scored at Wal-Mart today. 2-Disc editions of "The Running Man" and "Blade Runner: The Final Cut" for $10! Blade Runner was marked at $15 but rang up for $5 so I consider that karma paying me back for being so damn nice to people lately.

Oh, by the way "Blade Runner: The Final Cut" is totally worth it at full price. The remastering looks and sounds fantastic and the changes are totally seamless. I heard the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray versions are also well worth it.

Personally I was a little worried about the Blu-Ray version being screwed up after what happened with the Blu-Ray of 300.

Simpsons has been going downhill after season 10 or so, with a few exceptions is hasn't been nearly as good as it used to be back in seasons 5-8ish :P

Spider Pig is genious though (from what I've seen of it) :P

I went DVD shopping, all DVDs I want are £15 so I only ended up buying Rush Hour 3 in the end :( (not as good as the first two)

Interesting note, the "preview" you saw of spider pig, is literally all there is to it.

Yup, I found a place to stream the movie but the second part isn't up anymore so I only saw the first 30mins or so :(

Hd-DVD just got a pretty severe blow dealt to it.

http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssCons ... 5420080104

I have to admit I am a bit surprised by this move. While I support blu-ray personally, I did not expect to see someone as large as WB move from dual format to exclusive so close on the heels of a major holiday, especially one where HD-DVD sold 90k players on the $100 deal.

Blu-Ray has lost as far as I'm concerned, if the advertisements are correct then the Transformers movie isn't available on Blu-Ray and therefore HD is the winner :lol:

(Sony totally bribed WB :P)

I'm sticking to good ol' regular DVDs anyways.

Anyone who has seen 300 on Blu-Ray knows WB f***ed up royally by going Blu-Ray only.

Why's that? Something messed up with the quality on that one or something?

This! Is! Blu-Ray! :lol:

Black isn't black; its purple on the Blu-Ray version and there's also flicker issues. The DVD and HD-DVD versions are flawless which makes me wonder what happened.

Sure it wasn't just a dodgey disk? Did you try replacing it?

300 was a problem with the first batch of disks. Something got screwed up in the formatting. It has been corrected I believe, as I recently bought a copy and it works flawless.

However for the record, like it or lump it the format war is effectively over now. Hd-DVD has lost and barring a miracle there is no chance of them recovering from that much loss of potential market.

Transformers is coming out on Blu-Ray in march.
