Now I know you can find some of these here and there, but this is a large list of both BR and HDDVD covers. Link is 56k hell,

One more thing... If you notice on the back of the HDDVD's, under special features, it says, "480i standard definition." Does that mean that it is a flipper and that one side will play on the current DVD player and the other will play the HDDVD? I mean, if you just dropped $25 for the disc and $1000 for the player so you can get these movies in their 1080p goodness, I don't think that 480i would be considered a, "special feature"....

No, I think it's just pointing out that the extras (featurettes, deleted scenes, etc.) are not in high-definition.

Why does Universal fear using the whole cover, I wonder?

redford

I don't understand your question. It seems as though BR uses a similar front cover layout, just blue.

Augustes

I mean the area beneath that -- Universal's titles have that interlaced white/gray pattern with the actual art in a 'swoosh', unlike Warner's HD-DVD titles which use the full cover.

Nero

Universal took it upon themeselves to add their own touch to their cover art - absolutely horrendous. Hopefully they'll fix that for BR...

I don't care for the BR spines, with the headshots cut out. I hope the blue is a darker blue in person, rather than the brighter aqua tone they have in the art.

To see the dvd art cut and pasted onto the HD versions is pretty dissapointing (unless it was good to begin with, T2, Total Recall, MDB, etc.) For what has to be the cheapest part of the dvd prcoess, you'd think they would put a little more effort into them...

Thanks for the link.

I see HD-DVD cases still have those stupid feet. Rediculous.

Nero

None of those titles interest me either.

However I would love to see HoFD in High Defintion. The cinematography and colours should really be a showcase for High Definition.

redford

I don't see Robocop looking good at 1080p at all. There were lots of miniatures and stop motion animation in the film. I think high def will make these effects look even worse.

Does anybody else hate the blue/red plastic casing? Hopefully when a winner is declared the identification of the format won't have to be so blatant.

Nero

No mention of a region code on the back pics of the HD movies. Could this mean they have spared us the headache of regional coding?

I will support HD-DVD if that is the case.

Nimbus

I could care less for the covers, show me the backs with running times, and audio specs.
