==== quote =========
Judging from the footage that appears in the trailer, the "Cine-Explore" function looks similar to the "In-Movie Experience" picture-in-picture video commentaries common to the HD DVD format, making 'Cars' among the first announced titles to replicate this much sought-after feature on Blu-ray.
==== end quote =========
They forgot to mention that this feature won't work on any of the existing player or players sold before end of this year, unless you have $2000 Denon Blu-Ray player. And it's actually questionable whether or not it will work on PS3 as I still haven't heard that PS3 will get Profile 1.1 firmware update.
==== quote =============
Stretching the format's BD-Java capabilities is the "Car Finder" game, allowing viewers to search for over 200 models of cars hidden throughout the movie, and even "race the clock" to find a specific car in a frozen frame of film.
==== end quote =========
Well if this one works "as well as" Pirates of The Carribean Liar's Dice, blocking a player for a few minutes, then constantly looping and freezing, then thanks but I'll pass.
==== quote =============
Hyped as the "High-Definition Event of the Year"

Hey,
Xyzzy and Nfinity are you the same guy????
You both are such haters never anything positive to say unless its about your
HD-DVD player.
Are you just mad because HD-DVD doesn't have the headlines that Blu-ray gets weekly? HD-DVD get MAYBE!! one headline a week and Blu-ray get two or more.
I don't own a player yet so, someone please explain what advantage HD-DVD has over Blu-ray right now I going for Blu-ray. What proven facts can you provide? And don't use the import advantage unless you can prove everyone who own a HD-DVD player buys and not rents thier movies. If Blu-ray supporters can't count the PS3 then imports shouldn't count ethier. Rent is a hugh market so you need to take that in consideration.
