Whatever.
There are only a few special movies i`d like to own in HD.
"Crouching Tiger - Hidden Dragon" would be on the top of my list.
I mean , for the usual dorky movie i don`t need HD.
A decent DVD Player with good upscaling will do just fine.
"The March of the Penguins" would be a good movie for HD.
The movie itself , well...it`s ok.
But those crystal clear pictures from nature are the perfect showcase for HD and flatscreens.

But I am wondering about the FPS game from features.
Is it only running on PC, or PS3? Or maybe play on any BluRay player?

You know what this means? BD-R movies in their full glory, totally outclassing what is or ever will be available on HD-DVD.
