Quite right.Mr.D said:meaningless
Subjectively I didn't feel that any frames prior to this in the movie had anything like this difference in detail.
Terminator end credits also blurrier on Blu-ray using 1080i displays

Mr.D said:I would hesitate to judge two formats that use two motion based compression schemes by comparing single frames.

HD DVD is US$499, BluRay is US$999. I think the price argument speaks for itself. The question of price in the UK has yet to be announced from either camp.I still dont understand alot of the arguement that people have on price. On average the price for what ever reason of BD movies is lower than HD-DVD in the US, yet from this direct comparison the quality of BD v HD-DVD is the same.
You can't possible judge this by two freeze frame You really need to demo these products before you make statements like thatThe two formats will be equal in price and quality IMO.

The price of a HD-DVD player in the UK could well be £800. The price of BD in the UK could well be £800. So I don't see where HD-DVD will be half the price of Blu-Ray in the UK or Europe. The two formats will be equal in price and quality IMO
Interesting, I'm not disputing what you say aboud DVD combo discs, but I would like your views on why you think they've been stupidly implemented.Noggin1980 said:The few combo HD-DVD and DVD movies are also pushing the average price of the HD-DVD discs upwards (what the hell are they thinking with these movies btw?, it was a great idea that has been stupidly implemented)
Noggin1980 said:Fancy a 20 quid or so bet for charity that the cheapest HD-DVD player this year in the UK will be closer to 500 than 800?. (obviously not including the 360)
