I enjoyed the show...however was turned off by the previews. I'll most likely skip this one all together.

This is a cool idea. Blu-Ray, Standard, and the game. Hopefully it won't be over priced. Too bad it's the Speed Racer film or i would be all over it.

I love Speed racer tis a the perfect example of a well done old show to film, it can either suck being like tis old self or suck harder as something "new".

Kinda wish they would put the PS3 movie on the movie disc, with BR you don't need to have a movie and a game since movie games are offer a limited amount of content, sell it 5-10 more than a BR film and write of loses to popularity and not suckage...like they always do LOL

Boo hiss @ a standard definition digital copy. Your average PC has a screen resolution thats far higher than 720p. Not to mention that if you're buying a Blu-Ray, clearly you care about video quality.

But anyways, this film is horrible. There are no redeeming qualities outside of bright colors. I enjoyed the Fast and the Furious 3so my standards can be insanely low for what passes as entertaining. Speed Racer couldn't even deliver well on the level of giving me cool races and explosions, let alone writing, directing, etc. I don't think this is a film thats worth it even if the transfer is good. Its only worthwhile if you do lsd/acid and all the bright colors will send you on a really good trip.

That issue should be resolved now. :)

My son wants to see it, otherwise i'd probably not mess with it at all. He'll probably like it.

Oh so I was not seeing thing....0-o
looked more like randomness than new post first/top, and I do prefer new post first/top BTW :P

I liked Speed racer even if its kinda like take the awesomeness out of star wars or turn it G theres still something there but its not all that. Main complaints on Speed racer are story pacing, if the story was more detailed and a bit slower it would have been godly.

Since the "digital copy" is intended mainly for use on iPods and lesser(?) portable video devices, HD is overkill.

I wouldn't buy this Piece O' S*** movie in ANY format, though. Utterly horrid!

And somehow I bet your the kind to cream over fancy visuals in ultra realistic settings and over badly made films like DOOM and catwoman.

What would you rather have a R rated movie with tits ultra realistic races based off nascar with a couple gadgets or a film thats based off the fiction with a cartoony theme because its based off a cartoon and directed at kids.

Speed racer is hella better than Miami Vice,Starsky & Hutch,Inspector gadget,ect,ect,ect.

At least understand its the fiction that sucks (more or less) not the godly out of the box better than average style they did it in.

Haven't the viewers of the movie suffered enough already to be subjected to a Speed Racer game too?!

The article is a bit vague about the game so to elaborate on it from what I found elsewhere: It will be an 'interactive game' a la many CDi titles.

	Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
