King Kong BLURAY Vs HDDVD
Hi All
As an owner of the HDDVD version I'm considering buying the bluray version especially if they've sorted that jump in the film  where the Heroine is entertaining Kong.
Regards
John R

Well, she is jumping around a lot to entertain him. Don't know why you'd want that sorted.

Chortle chortle don't give up the day job  Seriously though during the aforementioned sequence the picture actually jumps due to a step in the disc,I just wondered if th Bluray version had managed to over come this anoyance.

Re: King Kong BLURAY Vs HDDVD
I've never had the HD, but I watched the BD of King Kong recently and never noticed any strange jump. Was it a known problem on the HD ?

I have the HD DVD and have no intention of upgrading for the lossless audio. Regards "that jump in the film"? I have no idea what you are talking about. Just checked the scene on my HD DVD and it seems to be as I imagine it should be to me.

Re: King Kong BLURAY Vs HDDVD
There is a slightly unusual edit in Poltergeist (it cuts off a line of dialogue)which has led to lots if Internet debates, but it's always been the same and is supposed to be like that.

Re: King Kong BLURAY Vs HDDVD
To johnr2110 and Will Scarlet, What machines are you using? The difference could be down to the player you're each using.
Regards

Re: King Kong BLURAY Vs HDDVD
As I don't have lossless audio capabilty, the HD DVD will do me just fine especially as it only cost me £2.99. The picture quality is very nice.

Re: King Kong BLURAY Vs HDDVD
The Blu-Ray features the longer cut of the film too if that's of interest, The HD-DVD only had the Theatrical cut.

That's not always an advantage. Can you play the standard version on the Blu-Ray?

I haven't seen the extended version as I have the HD DVD. I believe it is another 15 minutes long. I do know most of the extra is on Skull Island.
