HD-DVD Picture-in-Picture Commentaries

This is a very cool feature with HD-DVDs. You can watch the movie with the director's or crew's commentary in PIP mode. Very interactive content...Way 2 go HD-DVD...lets hope HD-DVD wins the media war..

Xbox 360 HD-DVD player

Got the drive from Buy.com for 179.99 after using Google checkout. Nice deal! Retail costs run 199.99.

I am sure i dont need to explain what HD-DVD is..With 6 times as clear as a regular DVD, HD-DVD is one of the hottest media format out in the market right now (along with best buddy Blu-ray). Atleast 200 movies are expected to be out on HD-DVD format (with atleast some of them offering a dual format - DVD on one side and HD-DVD version on other side of the disc). I am sure i wont be disappointed by this vast collection of discs that will be available by end of the year and in the coming years.

The Xbox 360 drive comes with Peter Jackson's KingKong movie free, and a universal media remote ( it sucks that i bought one of these remotes earlier this year with my 360, so now i have two remotes, got to sell one of this on ebay). The HD-DVD drive is almost half as huge as the Xbox 360 and connects via a high speed USB 2.0 cable to the Xbox360. I am running my Xbox 360 to my 50 inch Plasma over Component so the max resolution i am going to get is 1080i. My plasma doesnt support 1080p, so i dont have much choice there. I am waiting on the Xbox 360 VGA cable so that i can hookup the 360 via the VGA port on my plasma...another 39$ to the pot..

I will upload some screenshots of some movies in HD-DVD format here soon..
