Comcast HD VOD library expands with gangster-themed titles

by Darren Murph, posted Apr 18th 2008 at 9:02AM


Another month, another handful of HD VOD updates from Comcast. This go 'round, the carrier's looking to help you vent your tax day frustrations by offering up a suite of anti-establishment, gangster-themed flicks in brilliant high-definition. Most notably, American Gangster and The Godfather trilogy will be available to subscribers in HD, and just in case the aforementioned titles are a bit too dark for your tastes, you can also tune into MTV's Real World: Season 20 premier a week prior to it airing on MTV. Sure, we would've preferred a price cut for the month to help cope, but we 'spose this will have to do.

Libraries aren't ready to invest into Blu-ray or HD DVD

by Matt Burns, posted Aug 29th 2007 at 11:47AM

Psst. Wanna know a secret? The majority of public libraries have a vast DVD collection - new and classic; major studio releases and indie films. Seriously, they have 'em and just like the books, they're free. However, don't expect to find Blu-ray or HD DVD titles just yet, not in New York 's public library system at least. We can see where David Callahan of the Donnel Library in Manhattan is coming from when he states that it is simply too big of an investment to be wrong. Many libraries are having a tough time these days with lower funding due to lower demand so we don't expect public libraries to stock high-def titles just yet. Once they do though, you can bet we're going to dig up our old library card and pray there isn't an old missing book charge.
