Thanks: Gave 254, Got 167 | HD-DVD "The Departed" on its way to me
Had an email from my US supplier to let me know that my HD-DVD copy of The Departed is being packaged - should be on its way as I type. The picture quality of the SD DVD disc has had rave reviews so let's hope the Hi Def one is equally as good - hey, it's HD, it should be better !

Good to hear, but worthy of a whole new thread when there is a long Departed HDDVD thread here??

Sorry, I should have used the search button - grateful if a kind mod could combine this with the earlier thread as there are likely to be other posts once its out.

Spinning the DVD side, I'm surprised at how rough the SD looks, must try the HiDef side. There's a good trailer for 300 by the way on the standard side.

...the Hi-Def side is pretty darn good, I have to say, one of the sharpest I've seen so far. One thing though - who said we were easily satisfied - is that the combi disc doesn't contain the 90 minute long "Scorcese on Scorcese" special feature that's on the separate SD DVD, which appears to be Martin Scorcese talking about his career in films. Hey ! I wanted that ! Oh well, you can't have everything - sure they could have fitted it on the disc, though...

I've heard the HD-DVD version isnt very good - quite soft image? Anyone confirm?
Anyone got the Blu-ray version? Will it be the same version?
