Matt Burns:
Blame Disney, not the format. Do not bring in politics of blu-ray losing. COMPLETELY SEPARATE. isolate the issue better.

He didn't blame it all on Blu-Ray, he just mentioned that it was another negative piece about BD, which is a fair statement.

I'm glad to see that someone here is posting pro-HD DVD/anti-BD news. It evens things out and if it continues I know that I, personally, won't have to call out all the BD fanboy articles all the time. That's all I've been asking for - equal coverage without negative slants on positive news.

Back on topic -- this is the second framing issue I've seen in the past week -- BioShock (game for PC/360) actually cuts off the top and bottom 10% of the picture compared to the 4:3 picture. Yes, if you play BioShock on a 4:3 display you get to see MORE than if you play on a 16:9. Stupid. PotC is similar, except worse since it cuts off valuable information (like his head....), whereas on the game you only lose the ceiling/floor at least...

I guess I don't understand why this stuff is so hard... :(

No, I'll blame this on Blu-ray and the BDA. Good thing I have my beloved HD-DVD player.
