yes.............................

tis ok but it all depends how well the films been mastered in the first place,older stuff(that hasnt been remastered well) looks no better than dvd but stuff like mi3 and that which are mastered in hd look fantastic

Are you kidding me? I watched lawrence of arabia on HD and it looks better than most modern films. It's amazing how technology can bring an old film to life!

oh dont mind vj he's a blueray man .

not really thommo,it dont matter if its bd or hd dvd if its mastered badly its gunna look crap,no matter what u play it on,you cant polish a turd as they say

hostle,superman(original) and world trade center spring to mind as badly mastered ones

imoa i think it is the nuts, you all might think i am sad but i bought THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS on HD DVD as a first and i already owned it on normal DVD, i put the normal 1 in my dvd player and the hd 1 in the 360 HD DVD drive and then done a split screen an my 42" plasma and run them at the same time and you can really see an differance between the detail so from now on it is HD DVD all the way

ive done exactally the same myself,i only have 2 hd dvd films and 3 bluray but the only film that looked markedly better was saw3 on blu ray that looked the nuts,but on hostel(bd) casino royal(bd) superman and Constantine(*both hd dvd) i cant say any of them were significantly better than dvd(in fact id say hostel was worse)

but having seen tokyo drift running on hd dvd that does look good

Superman Returns also looks good on hd dvd is must do anyway even the missus said hey that looks good and women dont normally notice these things
