The animation wing of Sony Pictures is going to be entering the direct to DVD market with Open Season 2. What is interesting about this deal is that it comes on the heels of Disney’s abandoning this distribution method which they themselves created. Read more
Yesterday I reported that Star Trek is coming to HD-DVD in November. Well, Toshiba held an event at CEDIA this week to announce this. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. I am sure the audience ate it up though.

There is no doubt there is a format war going on between HD-DVD and BluRay. Do a Google search and you will find volumes of information relating to it. The simple fact of the matter is that right now, at this very point and time it doesn’t matter all that much for the average consumer. It matters to the companies and studios involved, but its simply entertainment for us, the general public. Read more
It appears that the highly anticipated DVD, Path to 9/11, is not going to be released after all. Read more
Ok, my nerd meter is literally going crazy right now. Toshiba and CBS have reached a deal that would bring the original television series into your living rooms, and into high definition. Read more
Ok this is just weird. NBC is so confident you will love Friday Night Lights they are offering a refund to those who do not enjoy the first season. I don’t know if this is legit, but if it is I am pretty sure I would be getting a refund if you catch my drift. Check out the specifics of the guarantee here.
I’ll admit that I never made it to the theater to see Transformers but I really wanted to. I mean, it’s robots destroying robots. How can you go wrong? Who cares if the plot is as thin as my wallet this month. That’s not what people pay to see. They pay to see robots throwing other robots through buildings.
The BH200 Super Blu Player will play any high def disc you throw at it. With a $900 price tag it isn’t cheap, but it will play 60% more content than any single format player. In addition it will support all the new interactivity from both HD-DVD and BD-Live. This is LG’s second dual format offering in less than a year. New features include support for HD-DVD network connectivity, 1080P output at 60 Hz and 1080P upscaling of standard definition dvds and HDI support. Expect to see the BH200 in stores this October.
Really light week for the two high def formats. But don’t worry, the market is about to get slammed later this month. Here are the releases for this week:
That’s it for this week. Nothing terribly exciting, though Nip/Tuck is a decent show.
