A scam?  Far "LESS" content you say?  Why would you count something that's not on the "Cars" DVD?  Why are you trying to count something that wasn't available to ALL stores that sell/sold the DVD? 

Is that "far less content" factoring in the two additional extras exclusive to Blu-ray?

If so, please provide a link or two to this information.  Thanks.

Just look at the recent Fifth Element remastered re-release vs. the Ultimate Edition DVD.  BD is still minimum-extra-features happy...  On a BD-50, no less.

You want links to what ISN'T there? How does that work? Why don't YOU give ME a link explaining where the Rascal Flatts video and making of are? The music featurette? The Pixar interviews? The MEAT of the bonus features? Oh yeah, they aren't there, Disney's screwing over the Pixar releases once again, setting up for double-dip city down the road, and adding one poxy deleted scene and a game that will amuse no-one over the age of 10.

Maybe you could sell some of your "Xbox 360 division" shares and hire a clue?

I gave you links to the extra content, exclusive to Blu-ray, that WILL be on the disc.  Now, it's your turn to provide links to the content that WON'T be on the disc.  It's that simple.  A simple exchange of information.

Are you really suggesting that there will be a site that lists what extras won't be on the disc?  You can't be serious...then again this is you we are talking about so anything is possible. 
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

You're using DVD PROFILER! Well, I say "using"... more accurate would be to say you hang around trolling the forums. Look up the bonus discs in the program, I contributed the Australian version myself.

We weren't talking about anything.

Was merely backing up Nadja's post with more BD anti-features releases.  Well, one, can't be bothered digging up more, especially when you most likely own them all.

Who cares. I notice you didn't post or link to the really interesting article on page 4 of that same issue: Adams: Format Trio May Last

"For now he confirmed what everyone already knows, PlayStation 3 has put Blu-ray ahead ......"

"But homes that have PS3s just aren't buying a lot of movies" and Adams forecast shows that within four years HD DVD, Blu-ray and DVD could have equal market share

"Adams predicted that when enough [Hi Def] players get into the market studios releaseing H--Def product on one format will be forced to do both"

Two more studios went Blu-ray exclusive TODAY!

Razor Digital

Questar as well.

Denon drops their first Blu-ray player.  They have some really amazing parts and specs in this thing, but $2000?  This will be for the "money is no object" crowd.

I have to mention that Bram Stoker's Dracula will debut on Oct. 2, because it is one of my favorite Dracula movies. 


Netflix reports first drop in subscribers

Quote:
Netflix Inc., the largest online DVD rental company, on Monday reported its first-ever quarterly drop in subscriptions and cut forecasts for subscribers, revenue and profit for the year in the face of fierce competition from Blockbuster Inc.
...........
Chief Financial Officer Barry McCarthy told analysts on a conference call that Wall Street estimates for fiscal 2008 earnings growth were "excessively optimistic."
...........
Netflix has spent the last six months fending off a rising challenge from Blockbuster, which said it will spend $170 million this year to promote its Total Access plan. That allows subscribers to swap DVDs rented online at its stores for free and has become a powerful competitor to Netflix.

What kind of inane request is this??? 

Instead of being a fun opinion piece on the good & bad aspects of both formats, this thread has degenerated into the bozo trying to force his Blu-Ray agenda into everyone's minds and people trying to stop the bozo from posting his propaganda.

Charts, Numbers, Links, Insults, Trick Posts ("I give you links but what I actually want you to do is go back to page whatever, click the link there and then go another 10 pages into the magazine to find the actual content I meant for you to read in the first place").

I'm trying to be civil but I don't know how else to put it at this point:

NO ONE CARES!

Now, can someone please lock this moronic thread?
Funny, these cookies don't taste anything like Girl Scouts.

Razor Digital

Razor!

Ladies and gentlemen, one of the most ridiculed distributors online, who brought you these stellar releases of Raise the Red Lantern and Ju-Dou, two Technicolor classics by Zhang Yimou (Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Curse of the Golden Flower):

http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDReview/rtrl.htm
http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDReview/judou.htm

"Frankly, this really sucks. Don't buy this, or the Razor 'Raise the Red Lantern' - it appears as though these guys are bandits. You can get better or equivalent editions for 1/3 the price in any Chinatown."
