Hardware Review: Pioneer Laseractive

The reason for its grandeur is that the Laseractive was the only console ever to play not only play laserdisc movies, audio CD, graphic CDs, karaoke CDs & laserdiscs but also Sega Genesis carts, Sega CDs, Turbo […]

Is this the start of the HD-DVD firesale? Nope just another Amazon HD media sale…

I just checked my email and I received a message about a few select HDDVD going for (up to) 53% off the retail price.  The format war might be coming to an end but that doesn’t mean you can’t pick up some Warner Brothers movies on the cheap.  If you just want your movies in High […]

Since I only can afford one player I‘ve chosen HD DVD since the players are much cheaper and the movies (for the most part) are getting better reviews over their Blu Ray counterpart.

HD DVD Review of Rambo: First Blood

So I finally watched Rambo: First Blood for the first time this week and what can I say, shame on me for waiting 25 years to watch this bad ass action flick.  I knew I would probably like Rambo but I just never got around to watching this movie.  The sad part is, I have […]
