Playstation 3 Greatest Hits lineup announced

Jul 15th 2008 5:14PM (Joystiq Playstation)
Nice red boxes. Sony probably picked up a ton of them at a discount from the HD-DVD folks.

Poll: Which is better LPCM or Bitstream?

Apr 12th 2008 10:21AM (Engadget HD)
I had to vote LPCM simply on the convenience. Streaming the already-converted audio gave me a much greater choice of receivers, which helped me save some money.

Ask Engadget HD: Which HD DVD player upconverts the best?

Mar 19th 2008 6:33PM (Engadget HD)
A note to those considering using a Toshiba HD-DVD player as an upconverting DVD player: if you have a significant investment in non-anamorphic DVDs (such as many of the early Criterion discs), note that you CANNOT zoom those discs using the player. I have a Toshiba HD-A30, and while it does have a feature to zoom in while playing an HD-DVD, it will not zoom in on a standard DVD. Since most HDTVs don't allow aspect control for high-def sources, you must set your HD-DVD player's resolution to 480p or 480i, then zoom using your TV's aspect controls. The PS3 has this same problem. Even though I own the Toshiba, I still use an Oppo 970 for watching standard DVDs. The bootup time alone is worth using the Oppo over an HD-DVD player. It also plays PAL DVDs and can easily be changed to a region-free player via a remote code. And it's cheaper. And it plays DivX, XviD, SACD, and DVD-Audio. You get the point.

Toshiba's Super Bowl 2008 ad: the final act of desperation?

Batman Begins, The Deer Hunter to name two off the top of my head.

Win an LCD HDTV, Xbox 360, and plenty of Old Spice

Pick me! Pick me! I just got the Red Ring of Death this weekend, so I'm in dire need of a new 360.

Video: Sony's 27-inch OLED leave jaws open

If that thing can't get you laid, I don't know what will.

Do we want consolidation of HDTV technologies?

Dec 21st 2007 9:43PM (Engadget HD)
I see no reason to "consolidate." LCDs, plasmas and RPTVs are perfectly compatible with each other, and each have their place in the market. I'd much rather see the HD-DVD/Blu-ray format war end than force everyone to buy an LCD.
