Re: The Matrix's (or is that Matrices) - HD DVD

Great news. The HD trailer for A Scanner Darkly on the Xbox 360 Marketplace was mesmeric - the film is merely okay in my opinion but it should be a trippy visual treat on HD disc!

I'll get the first Matrix film, when it's released, as I am not too keen on the other two.

Re: The Matrix's (or is that Matrices) - HD DVD

Amazon.com is now listing the Matrix HD DVD for pre-order; as a trilogy set as well as listing each of the three films individually. No release date is mentioned on Amazon so we'll have to rely on the dates listed at Futureshop for now.

PS No sign of a BD release as yet but it's still early days.

That's the only season of West Wing I haven't got on DVD, so hopefully this release will make a worthy addition.

Re: The Matrix's (or is that Matrices) - HD DVD

I think I would only go for the first Matrix on HDDVD as well. The second and third films just confused and bored me. They were so disappointing.

The first one was awesome though and unlike anything else when released.

Re: The Matrix's (or is that Matrices) - HD DVD

Oh wow ... I want all three. Agreed the first one was the best, but I kinda liked the others too.

I really wanted to like them, and to be fair they were pretty spectacular, but the whole plot just got me confused. Having said that, if they are released in a pack I may just get them all.

Meet Joe Black should be out by now but it's not showing up anywhere. Not even on Amazon.com. How reliable are these dates on futureshop?

From reading the DVDTalk forum, not the most accurate

I think futureshops accuracy is a touch hit and miss. I.e. they had Wicker Man and Beerfest before anyone else, but their dates for Brazil, Conan and now Meet Joe Black aren't very accurate.
