Spy Game on Blu-ray Disc: Review By Peter Suciu

26 May 2009 20:39:20 PDT

The picture is clear, but it really doesn't show off Blu-ray's capabilities. The sound is where the Blu-ray has gotten a nice boost from that of the DVD or even HD DVD versions. This one includes DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, and the sounds are stunning ... Best Buy holds new Blu-ray disc sale Punch Jump

Opinion: The State of Blu-ray 2009: The Format Is Killing Itself

15 May 2009 11:00:00 PDT

Written by Wilson Rothman
Don't get me wrong. You'll buy a "Blu-ray player." Stats show many of you already are. You may even buy some Blu-ray discs, or pay the extra $2 or $3 for Netflix Blu-ray rental. But the amount of time you'll spend watching Blu-ray on it will continue to dwindle, until, maybe one day, the disc tray j...

Here's what's new: they cleaned up the video so it looks nice in 1080p, and they added slightly improved special effects like the 3D models of planets when the Enterprise is in orbit. They might have made smaller touchups here and there, but you probably wouldn't notice unless you watched t...

Written by Wilson Rothman
What's the takeaway? For movies, even ill-gotten ones, it's a good box. Netflix and Pandora are surely only the beginning, too. If Amazon Video on Demand is already on Panasonic, Sony, TiVo and Roku products, it's surely a matter of time before they sign with Ole Sammy. Ditto for Rhapsody, wh...

Mac Mini 2009 Review [Review]

Written by Wilson Rothman
For instance, it would either take a cheap Y-cable for analog stereo out, or a Toslink-to-mini optical cable ($2.24 at Monoprice) that could connect to a receiver for surround sound. It would also take a video adapter of some kind. Many TVs have DVI or VGA inputs, and all now have HDMI inputs, s...

Opinion: Why Are People Talking About 'Why Blu-Ray Will Succeed'?

14 Jan 2009 17:53:52 PST

During CES, I got asked many times if I thought that Blu-Ray will succeed. And today, I'm receiving an email from "The Blu-Ray Press Office" in which they use an article from CNET to convince me that Blu-Ray will succeed (the alternative is getting stuck with DVDs forever). The nine points fr...

But to me, the 3-disc Blu-ray set (2 discs of content and an extra disc for the digital copy) has brought an unparalleled experience to my home theater experience. And I'm going to fanboy out a bit for 3,000 or so words after the jump. That's disc one.

Written by Chris Kohler
It's no coincidence that all but one of the games on Wired.com writers' list were bankrolled by Sony itself. The maker of PlayStation 3 has ramped up its internal game development efforts in an attempt to differentiate its expensive, third-place box. And it's doing quite a good job at it, jud...
