      No offense, but you'd have to pay ME $400 to watch a Star Trek movie.

        That was just the movies, what about the laserdisc player? I know I spent something like $300 for my first "hi-fi" VCR.

              I got my LD player from a closeout and got a good deal on it. My wife (g/f at the time) bought me all 3 original Star Wars movies on LD back in 1997 or so. I still think they have great picture...

                When the new HD titles are released, I guess we'll need a thread called "What I love/hate in the new HD titles"!

                I don't think we will find somebody that "loves" every title. That's not what the surge in HD is going to be about. I'm pretty sure everybody will "hate" at least 1 or 2 titles. Hopefully every new HD movie in the collection will find some Vudu Viewers that love it (the producers/directors seemed to think making it was a good idea, of course the same can be said for Xanadu). Some couples LL be harshly divided in the home over whether or not to watch a movie that they fondly remember (or was that barely endured?) Some of the over achievers that hang out here will probably claim in Golum style to "hatesess the HDssss", well because they can. Anybody want to take bet's on some posterino starting a gripe thread saying "I can't believe Vudu had the nerve to release ________, therefore nobody should ever buy a Vudu again and the marketing people misled me!"

                If you had to go into a typical multi screen Theater right now and watch the next 70 movies that they release, how many do you think you'd love, how many do you think you'd hate? Even better, send somebody with a blindfold into the Blockbuster and tell them to randomly select 70 films for you to watch. I bet we could find somebody who would hate most of them. Consider this list of 16 "new" shows being provided by one of my local theaters. I have not, and most likely will not see any of them in the Cinema (I hatesess the Chinemaaaa). If a gun was held to my head and I was asked if I'd LOVE/HATE to go through the doors and pay the $50+ it would cost to take the family in, I'd choose 3 of the 16:

                HATE Alien vs. Predator
                HATE Alvin and the Chipmunks
                HATE Charlie Wilson's War
                HATE Enchanted
                LOVE I Am Legend
                HATE Juno
                LOVE National Treasure: Book of Secrets
                HATE One Missed Call
                HATE P.S. I Love You
                HATE Sweeney Todd
                LOVE Golden Compass
                HATE The Great Debaters
                HATE The Water Horse
                HATE Walk Hard

                Now, my wife would maybe agree/tolerate 1 of the 3 I chose, and you can bet my 18 year old daughter and 21 year old son would make the odds of finding a winner for the whole group extremely low. However, when you put them all on my Vudu eventually, I'll probably take a chance on over half of them, and it wouldn't surprise me if there's a sleeper in that list that the whole family ends up enjoying. And here's the part that will drive some of you nutz, I really don't care if I get to watch it the same day the DVD is on the streets, or a year later - not a priority in my life or values. I can't imagine having my day/week revolve around waiting for the next bone Hollywood throws. This is not to say that I don't believe that "same day release" is critical to some folks, I just have a totally different set of values and priorities than them. I know I'm not the only Vudu user who feels this way about their recreational entertainment options.

                The news from CES isn't about delivering a ton of titles that you would have chosen - it's about the next step in Vudu's evolution - expanding the library of movies that you have to choose from, including several instant view HD selections. I do hope we very soon see many more "same day releases" like we did with Bourne Ultimatum, and it would not be because I'm jumping up and down with excitement to see them, it'll just be nice to stop having to read the same old gripes over and over and over again.

                  Re: News from CES

                  you should change JUNO to love...it was a good movie.

                  i understand that the 70 new HD releases (to vudu) will be across a wide range of genres. they would like to something to everyone.
                  but here is my most annoying thing with HD.
                  unless it has some cool special fx or cgi...it should not be put out in HD format.

                  i mean, does ' the break up' warrant HD's capabilities?
                  how about 'Ray'???
                  Adventures Of Robin Hood (starring Errol Flynn...lol)???
                  Does Shrek look better in HD??? it is a cartoon and will not benefit from the fine detail, so why bother...

                  the studios need to stop watsing time on non-worthy titles for HD.

                    You are soooooo right! I just want to laugh at the folks who are obsessed with HD resolution instead of movie plot content. I'll tell you right now that some scenes in the upcoming HD titles were filmed with less than outstanding quality by todays visual standards, but some folks gotta see the HD in the name or they feel like they are not being respected. I'd much rather watch a good movie in SD than a crappy movie in HD - and I'm watching on a 110" screen.

                      Re: News from CES

                      One reason HD is important for everything now is because we are all switching to widescreen TVs. SD looks worse on a widescreen TV than it did on the old 4:3 sets. You either have to accept a smaller picture (black bars) or stretching or zooming. None of those options is good for watching even the news.

                        Actually, upconverting 480p content is fine. Most DVDs released are done in 480p. You notice the big jump in quality going from 480i to 480p. If you look at the SD movies on Vudu, none of them look as bad as 480i TV on your HD set...

                          Actually, you are right. I guess I was thinking about 4:3 channels on TV displaying on the widescreen. They look pretty bad. But I think the SD movies on Vudu do look great. They look so good, in fact, that I'm not as excited as many of the others about HD on Vudu in general. I'm glad they are doing it, but making more movies available and rentable is what will make me the happiest.

                            You really DON'T listen to user complaints about vudu, do you? Mocking the customer base is not the image vudu should be embracing.

                              Not all complaints are equal or even valid for that matter. Some people have requested that the library have movies removed because they personally didn't like them and they determined that nobody else did or should either. I think it is entirely appropriate to make a lighthearted comment like that about such "complaints".
