It appeals to the PS3 crowd. And it's not just up sampled DVD like a lot of other HD/blu-ray discs. http://www.buythebestbluray.com has it ranked in their gold tier.

Everyone I know, who doesn't read comics said they F'in loved it. It only seems to be comics fans and extreme leftist (and I'm not a fan of the extreme left or right, so don't even think of jumping on me for saying that) that didn't seem to like it, but what ya gonna do?

However, Miller is indeed writing and directing "Will Eisner's The Spirit." I thought "Sin City" was some kind of hybrid--a "momic" or a "coovie"--and I absolutely loved it. I found "300" to definitely be a movie, and I loved it as well. Frank Miller didn’t make 300; director Zack Snyder did. However, Miller is indeed writing and directing “Will Eisner’s The Spirit.”

That first line should have said…. “cheaper than that of the HD version….”

And Hot Fuzz was only released on HD due to Universal being exclusive to HD. So there's nothin that coulda been done about that. If Uni was smart tho, they should get rid of the exclusive and release on both. Both were awesome flicks btw. Well deserved. 300 on BluRay is actually than that of the HD version but then again, the HD version is a combo disc with the standard version the other side.

As with Sin City, Frank Miller lets his interest in strong visuals get in the way of making a good movie. Everything in slow-motion does not a good movie make. Movies are not comics. I fear for the Spirit movie, as he is involved with that one as well. Now, if it only were a good movie . . . .

I mean, I could see HD DVD selling well...it's pretty affordable , especially in comparison to Blue-Ray. I just want to know who all these people are who can afford Blue-Ray players and discs?!
