King Kong HD DVD
I just wanted to drop a quick post to say that i am in the very fortunate position of having a 8 minute or so clip of Kong on HD DVD coupled with 5 or so clips of split screen HD vs SD and it is without doubt the best picture i have ever seen.
Truly stunning just wait till you all see it  The depth and detail to the image is the best i have ever seen from film content, it ha the exact same wow factor as HD Video material.  |

Agreed. Will be a show-off disc for HD set-ups then. And thank goodness you can skip that first 50 minutes of dull character blarney in New York: CUT TO THE APE! |

Re: King Kong HD DVD
The fight scene between Kong and the dinasour sounded amazing on my HT on simple DD - reference material imo. I can't possibly imagine how this will be like on hd dvd.
