After last weekend’s fireworks, it’s back to business in the war for Hi-Def supremacy. I don’t foresee many weeks that HD-DVD will beat Blu-Ray. Then again, the underdog always has a shot, although after this weekend’s huge news, I don’t know how much longer I’ll be doing a HD-DVD round up…
Check out your Blu-Ray releases for the week of January 7, 2008 after the jump.
3:10 To Yuma – A great American western staring an Aussie and a Brit.
Con Air – The plane full of psychos and a long hair Nicholas Cage is back and in Hi Def. Bout time.
Dragon Wars – An awesome title for an awesome movie. Eh…Not really.
Man On Fire – Denzel goes on a killing spree to get a kidnapped child back. I suggest spending 2.5 hours doing something else.
The Rock – “Your best? Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and f*** the prom queen.” — Sean Connery. Also with more Nick Cage!
Sunshine – The world’s in need of saving, so mankind launches a very expensive mission to do so. Then something goes horribly wrong… Never heard that one before.
Not a super week in Blu-Ray, but there are a few good titles in there. Come back tomorrow to see if HD-DVD can exploit this and pull out a win, or see if it gets on its knees and begs Warner Brothers to come back….Come back baby! Come back……..

no, I’m calling Blu-ray here and now… if said argument about Warner Bro.s is true, HD-DVD doesn’t stand a welk’s chance in a supernova.
and here’s another argument for ya’ll: Bluray = 50+ Gb, HD-DVD = 40 Gb
HVD = Holographic Versatile Disk = 3.9TB

HD-DVD = mandatory lossless audio formats, Blu-ray optional.
HD-DVD = region free, Blu-ray has region coding up the ying-yang.
I liked man on fire ;_;
@Deetex: Blu-ray = 25GB/layer, HD-DVD=15GB/layer… I’m not sure where you got 40GB from…
@refinedsugar: Blu-ray’s region coding “up the ying-yang” amounts to _three_ regions… exaggerate much?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray#Region_codes
For the record, that’s _half_ the region codes our precious DVD currently has…

You’re so right. Three region codes is much better than zero.
