 In the fight to become the high-definition choice for consumers, HD DVD just set the bar a bit higher by taking advantage of its player's built-in internet connections.
The first Internet-enabled disc -- a Japanese animated feature titled "Freedom" -- was released Tuesday. Buyers who connect their HD DVD player to a broadband Internet line will be able to download a high-definition trailer for another movie, change menu styles and download additional subtitles. |

 Blockbuster Inc. will rent high-definition DVDs only in the Blu-ray format in 1,450 stores when it expands its high-def offerings next month, dealing a major blow to the rival HD DVD format.
The move, being announced Monday, could be the first step in resolving a format war that has kept confused consumers from rushing to buy new DVD players until they can determine which format will dominate the market.

 Did you get suckered into thinking that the coolest Blu-ray movie to get upon the PS3's inception was the incredibly colorful and flashy film The Fifth Element, only to realize upon viewing that it actually didn't have an impressive transfer at all? You may be happy to know that the folks at Blu-ray headquarters (if such a thing exists) are ready and willing to trade in those old Fifth Element Blu-rays and send you a fresh copy of a newly remastered and much improved version.

 According to DavisDVD, Genius Entertainment and The Weinstein Company will release Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof" segment of "Grindhouse" on September 18th. Apparently, Robert Rodriguez's "Planet Terror" will release separately at a yet unknown date.
During its theatrical run, "Grindhouse" went through many changes. First it was released as a double feature, and completely failed at the box office. Then the Weinsteins tried to release the film as two separate films, just like in Europe, and that failed as well. |
