not bad at all

360 def looks better than ps3

hd-dvds come in dual-format sometimes, unlike blu-ray; and 5 hd movies would cost u close to 150

Just in case anyone hasn't seen it, here is the form for 5 free blu-ray movies when you buy a PS3.

What does this have to do with the HD DVD or the 360?

That's because blue-ray has more exclusives and sales for blue-ray have done better than HD-DVD. More sales means more companies making blue-ray movies.

no; it's based on the 20 or so games that they chose to allow us to get for free

there may be 10x more hd-dvd movies i want than blu-ray movies, but on these specific lists, i'd rather have the blu-ray list

u can't logically extend that out

FYI: This comes with King Kong now

Question: When I'm watching regular movies, I can always stretch it to fit my entire screen by hitting Display on the 360 remote. How the hell do I do it with the HD movies?

Many offers (such as Best Buys) also come with King Kong and 300 as well as the 5 movies now. Not sure about the stretching thing.

to those of you that have the hd dvd player add-on,

have you had any compatibility issues with any hd dvds? read a couple of threads in the xbox forums and some have had difficulty watching some movies such as: the departed, 300 and hot fuzz.

this worries me a little bit because i'm thinking of getting the hd dvd add-on

Unfortunately, haven't had a chance to test newer movies (like the ones you mentioned) in the add-on. But I've probably played about a dozen HD-DVD movies in the player and have never had a problem.

You can look for more data at AVS Forum

I bought a new bulb for my projector through ProVantage.

I swear to god the thing was on my doorstep before they even charged my debit card. It was regular shipping too, but fast as lightning.

As a result, I am impressed with these guys, and they have been around a long time, although I'd never heard of them before finding their site while searching for a replacement bulb.

Anyway, I ramble... $154.38 at ProVantage:

If you buy it through Amazon, you can get 8 free HD DVDS with this offer. It comes with king kong now, plus amazon allows you to select 2 free additional HD DVD's in addition to the ones listed (I chose 300 and Beerfest). It says you can only select 1, but most combinations of 2 work. Offer expires 9/30 though so buy now if you are planning to get one!
