12 Days Of Christmas: On The Third Day...
Before I started this, I wanted to ask everyone if anyone has bought Blu-Ray players (PS3s are included) or the HD-DVD players (Xbox 360 HD-DVD add-on included as well). Also, I'd like to know how old you guys are. If you bought a PS3, cool, I understand. But you guys going out spending the money on a standard that might not make it is pretty out there. Do you guys know the story of VHS? During the times VHS was released, another 'standard' was around called Beta Max. Some people bought a Beta Max player and Beta Max tapes. Some people bought VHS and VHS tapes. Needless to say, VHS won that war and those people that bought Beta Max wasted their money. The same thing will happen to Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD. One of them will drop and then the guy who bought the player that drops will be ranting and raving. Before you do go into a rant, remember, Dinghy is telling you now to not waste your money on this crap before the standards are set for what will replace DVD, and second, remember that we have history (even history in electronics) that we should be aware of and learn from. If you think this isn't another Beta Max/VHS war in digital times, you're a very foolish person. I'm just saying, hold up for a few years because honestly, you can't tell THAT big of a difference unless you're own a 1080p TV. Even then, it's not worth it just so you can say "Whoa, I watched a movie in HD last night.". Back to Christmas...
·Day Three: Movie·
I know you guys have been flipping out about me putting this up, and trust me, I love this movie more than the next guy. Eddie (the fat drunk cousin) reminds me a little too much of one of my uncles. But, for those of you who are unsure about what this movie is about, here it goes. The Griswold's decide to stay home and have a huge traditional Christmas with their families coming in and staying with them in their home. Clark (Chevy Chase) is saving up to buy a pool for his family for Christmas, but is waiting on his big bonus to come through so he can afford it. The real fun is when Eddie and his trash family comes. A great classic, and if you haven't seen this, go find your grandfather's gun and clean it with your tongue!! Just kidding. Just go watch it. If you have Xbox 360, you can rent it directly off of Marketplace right now. I think I saw it on there...
Finally, a game even a Wii owner can get. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is a really good game for you guys to ask for this Christmas holiday. I just recently wrote a review for the game (check it out). I think the reason this game is good to ask for is because it truly is a game you and your friends can sit down and play. Everyone knows Marvel. Everyone knows how to hit random buttons. My preferred console to play this on is the 360 for the achievements. They're a lot of fun to collect in this game and give you a little more for your money. That's if you care about achievements.

Great choice of movie & game right there buddy. That is, by far, the best Christmas movie ever.
Wont be Buying any HD-DVD/BD players! I've watched more than 70 DVD movies..using only the PS2
Bonus cookies if someone can find an MP3 of the opening song!
I've never seen the movie, though I'm sure the game is great for when friends come over or even relatives and you need to play a game that everyone can enjoy. (no offense Gears, but you're strictly an adult game in my book).
I mean the Old movies like PREDATOR RUSH HOUR TERMINATOR 2 and all those are awesome to have, But I know that they knew nothing of HD back then and didnt record in something that would make It DVD Clear.. now the same feeling with HD DVD and BDs..
yeah Blue ray is very largely called BD and Discs are called BD Roms Very nice just like CDs
Ofcourse there are ones called Digitally remastered Editions.. but Never feel somekind of softare upscaling will improve the Recording.. Its best to get the DEMO discs that TV show people keep to awe us and then play it to show others how great our TV shows those HD Movies
