Catch The Awesomeness Of TDTESS On BD, Today
If ever there was an action/sci-fi film that was made for the increasingly popular BD format, the Fox blockbuster ‘The Day The Earth Stood Still’ must certainly be it. Granted, remakes of awesome 1950s flicks, starring Keanu Reeves may not float everyone’s boat, but there’s no denying the awesomeness of seeing the film’s CG special effects and explosive scenes in high definition. Along with all the standard features that are packaged into Blu-Ray disks these days, the two-disk TDTESS pack, available to rent or buy today, includes a detailed commentary on re-imagining the 1950s anti-nuke classic, “Build Your Own Gort” BD-Java game, as well as an in-depth behind-the-scenes look at the environmentally conscious film set (the film was the first step to towards the studio’s parent company News Corp.’s aim of being entirely green by next year). Of course, for those not yet caught up in the BD revolution, don’t fret; TDTESS is also available on DVD. More » Advertisement
LG Adds YouTube To Its Latest Blu-Ray
It is the question home entertainment enthusiasts have been asking, nay demanding, since the beginning of time; ‘why can’t I stream online media from YouTube with high-speed internet, allowing access to a wide range of videos all search enabled through the remote control, on my brand new Blu-Ray?” Well, you incredibly verbose, yet specific home-enters, now you finally can. And it’s all thanks to LG’s recently launched Blu-Ray player, the BD370. In addition to the much anticipated YouTube feature, which allows you to stream then watch YouTube content through the built-in ethernet port and five video wide interface, the BD370 not only plays your HD faves, but allows you to launch WMA, MP3, JPEG and DivX files from a USB stick. While the BD Profile 2.0 means you can access all those BD Live tidbits that have been creeping into Blu-Rays of late. So considering all this added value, that $449 price tag just gets more and more appealing. More » Advertisement
LG’s Latest Blu-Ray Reads Like The Who’s Who Of Features
It may be 12 months since the format war was fought and won, but finally there’s a Blu-Ray player on the market that’s actually worth the hype. With its slim design and rather retro central power/play button, LG’s BD370 not only has the looks but the features to back it up. Thanks to its HDMI 1.3 connection, the BD370 can output 7.1-channel sound, as well as deliver an impressive picture quality picking up detail and vivid colour with ease. While those keen to watch DVDs on a full HD TV, will appreciate the 1080p upgrading and improved picture quality. Accepting everything from WMA to DivX files, the player is one of the most versatile on the market. Not to mention it’s fast- the BD370’s boot time of 15 seconds means you can load a title literally as the machine turns on. But perhaps the feature that most sets the BD370 apart: you can play YouTube videos, using a high-speed internet connection. It kinda makes you wonder why the feature hasn’t been done before. And at $449, it’s pretty decent value. Pretty decent indeed. More » Advertisement
Virgin Launches New Post and Pre-Paid Plans, Offers More Flexibility For Your Dollar
Good news for you mobile owners, looking to save a few bucks on your monthly bill: Virgin Mobile has launched a new suite of post-paid caps, all about increasing value and flexibility. The suite, called Your Cap, will consist of five plans ranging from the basic $20, right up to the $95 option, with all caps to include international calls. But perhaps best of all, unlike other deals on the market, the plans also include up to 50MB of mobile data, free voicemail and unrestricted Virgin-to-Virgin calls and texts. And it’s not just existing Virgin customers who are set to benefit. New customers, with their own phone, look set to receive an additional 20% included value, when they sign up to a Your Cap plan. Of course, if you’d rather steer clear of the post-paid route, Virgin Mobile also offers monthly pre-paid Your Cap plans. Ranging from $35 to $95, each of the four pre-paid packages offers the same value as their post-paid counterparts. Which means the choice, value and flexibility are entirely yours.
