honestly, 300 fails for HD. Now Casino Royale, Kingdom of Heaven, Spiderman 3, Rattattue (spelling), and a few others are way better for HD viewing.

Yeah...I myself have to say 720p is better than 1080i, at least in my experience. Quick question, is Pirates one of the lower-end Blu-ray movies also? Because it seems kind of grainy as well.
The problem with the Pirates series is that a large majority of the scenes are shot in dark places, which results in increased grains. So I would place them in the mid-range of blu-ray titles based on quality.

Basically, any movies shot 70mm film will have grains, it's the movies shot on HD cameras that really stand out and look absolutely amazing.

They most certainly will, unfortunatly the size of your tv in proportion to its resolution will limit your experience, any TV over 37" really should be 1080p, otherwise you begin to be able to see the pixels.

But still, compared to DVD's they will look much better.

I meant the original poster, and 1080i is no better than 720p.

37" LCD-- my PS3 is automatically set to output in 1080p.

 

I guess part of my point is that if you have to "hunt down" certain types of Blu-ray movies to REALLY see a difference, then there actually isn't that much of a difference at all, and the average consumer won't care until the price has come down considerably. I think that I'm just going to stick to DVD for now, but since I already bought Spiderman 3 in Blu, I might try it out in the next few days to have the true blu-ray ~*EXPERIENCE*~ (lol).

^the original poster (Yajimari21) never said anything about the equipment he used...apparently he just left. Too bad he drew conclusions so quickly after just one movie then came right away to create a thread where he doesn't even mention the screen he played this on.
I'm betting he had a SDTV, and either quickly realized how foolish his post was considering he didn't have an HDTV. Or the only reason he posted was to troll/get a bunch of replies.

hm.. Actually, I have a question about high def. Why is it that when you go to an electronics store and see the displays of high def tv's playing high def movies; they all look like crap. And I'm not just talking about when the signal is split to 10 tv's, but even when you see the blu-ray (or hd-dvd), hooked up to the big shiny tv.

Everything always has this weird cubist painting look to it.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
