wow thats great news.ummm not really.i wouldnt care if microsoft was on anything because look at vista.good job microsoft :D lol

It's a decent idea, highlighting the fact that all HD DVD players have the 'advanced features'.

......how many months till any Blu-ray players get to put their equivalent 'BD-J' tag on their machines?

Who gives a shit, both mickey mouse companys.

People paying the premium for high def players are probably the ones who "give a sh*t", I reckon......

.....and a substantial premium when it comes to the current crop of 'no advanced features whatsoever' Blu-ray players.

Naturally the Sony/PS3/Blu-ray fanclub will belittle & run this down all they can cos their beloved format can't do any of this yet
(except laughably 'fake' PiP......no wonder they need a 50gb disc to put 2 full-sized versions of the same movie on, 1 normal one & the other with the PiP burnt in).

......of course if or when Blu-ray finally does get to their final spec
(which not a single Blu-ray player on the market can do right now - cos it takes hardware as well as software to do)
these features - that HD DVD has had since day 1 - will undoubtedly become, rather predictably, just "awesome!".

- Well considering many of those advanced 'extra' features are intended to be nothing like the 'extras' seen on DVD it's a tad too early to be making that kind of claim.

But like I said, and here so clearly proved, the Sony/PS3/Blu-ray fanclub will belittle & run this down all they can cos their beloved format can't do any of this yet.....

Dude. No one cares.

You Fanboys ruin everything.

Sorry for the newbie question but have there been movies released with HDi features?

Look for Universal titles with "U-Control" and Warner titles with "In-Movie Experience." They're both based on the HDi platform.

Off the top of my head - 300, V for Vendetta, Fast and Furious - Tokyo Drift, Constantine, The Matrix Trilogy and some others.

Thanks eatsushi. So my HD-A2 should be able to play all the HDi features on these discs right?

Yes juankerr.

All the HD DVD players sold since day 1 of the format's introduction are fully compliant with the entire HD DVD spec.

Thanks.

Some discs have web-enabled HDi content (like 300) so you may want to connect your unit to the internet - easily done with the standard ethernet port.

Nothing special in my book.
