Na DVD od 30.4.2010, na Blu-ray jod 22.4.2010. Více informací zde: www.showpark.cz Avatar před námi otevírá neuvěřitelný svět za hranicemi naší fantazie, svět střetu dvou naprosto odlišných civilizací. Nově objevená vzdálená planeta Pandora je mírumilovné místo s obyvatelstvem - Navi, žijícím v souladu s divukrásnou vegetací planety. Posádka vyslaná ze Země na své průzkumné misi objeví na Pandoře velmi cenný minerál, který by měl na Zemi nevyčíslitelnou hodnotu. Pobyt na Pandoře je ovšem pro člověka možný teprve po vytvoření jeho genetického dvojníka, hybrida Avataru, který může být ovládán psychikou oddělenou od lidského těla a fyzicky odpovídá původnímu obyvatelstvu Pandory, které má fluorescentní modrou kůži a dosahuje 3m výšky. Na tuto náročnou misi je vybrán mezi jinými také Jake Sully (Sam Wothington), bývalý námořník, který byl při jedné z jeho předešlých misí paralyzován od pasu dolů. A právě šance opět chodit přiměla Jakea, aby se do programu Avatar přihlásil. Průzkumná mise je vyslána a po přistání na Pandoře je zcela ohromena úžasnou rozmanitostí místní vegetace. Stromy dosahují výšky mrakodrapů a světélkující prales je plný nádherných tvorů, které jste nikdy neviděli, ale také hrozných prehistorických predátorů. To je jen zrnko překvapení, které posádku čeká. I když se zdá, že po počáteční nedůvěře lidí Navi se posádce podařilo adaptovat a také získat prostor pro diplomatickou misi, pandořané se rozhodně nehodlají nechat kolonizovat a dojde ke tvrdému střetu ...

Hindsight, I should've developed Hope's Ravager tree.

What's worse is that the one paradigm you really need for this event, "Smart Bomb" isn't even included in what they pick for you. When some guy in NYC can see obvious problems, and the developer can't be bothered to take managerial steps to prevent this from happening, somethings wrong. *----------* I don't do complete playthroughs, I feel that cutscenes are films and as such are protected by copyright, however boss fights, or pivotal interactive events that can end any number of ways, or tutorials on gear // weapons I do believe players should have a right to display. So, anything I upload related to FF13 will be in that vane. There are lenty of people here on youtube who will do complete playthroughs and show you everything, that won't be me.

Hey everyone, I decided it would be a great idea to post up the latest news from Google so here it is…

GE Crams 500GB of Data on DVD with Holographic Tech

Experts see micro-holographic players and discs over time have the potential of becoming a low-cost storage alternative to DVDs and Blu-ray discs. … Continue reading »

I like sales as much as the next guy, but for me these days I am not really all that interested in Blu-ray sales unless they are half off retail or better.

Right now Amazon has quite a wide range of titles that fall into that category.

From Paramount and DreamWorks you can get recent releases like The Kite Runner, Things We Lost in the Fire, The Truman Show and A Mighty Heart for $14.99 and Babel, Top Gun and The Hunt for Red October for $14.49.

20th Century Fox has Aliens vs. Predator – Requiem, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Max Payne and Stargate: Continuum for $19.99.

For titles under $10, look for The Proposition, Immortal and The Breed from First Look Pictures or First Blood, The Punisher and Total Recall from Lionsgate.

The 40-Year-Old Virgin and End of Days from Universal are also half off at $14.99.

Needless to say there are lots of options – see more titles at half off or better after the break.

We have noticed that there is a lot of confusion about blu-ray (Blue-ray) spelling. Almost 50% of all Blu-ray searches in Google are done with Blue-ray or Blueray. And within the misspelled searches, Blue-ray is about 80% and Blueray is the other 20%. The numbers from Overture for july are 26708 searches for Blu-ray compared to 8618 for Blue-ray and 1082 for Bluray.

It was a choice made by the Blu-ray disc association to remove the "e" from blue-ray to be able to have a trademark on it. "Blue-ray disc" or "Blueray disc" would have not been so easy. We are wondering if people are searching half the time with "Blue-ray players" or "Blue-ray movies" or even worse "HD DVD vs. Blue-ray", if they are going to find what they are looking for? They will find results talking about blu-ray, but it’s going to be limited because of the pollution done by sites that have misspelled blu-ray themselves with blue-ray or blueray.

Google and the other search engines can make the translation between "blue-ray and blu-ray" or "blueray and blu-ray" but it is certainly going to hurt the search result. The "did you mean" could have helped but websites writers are doing so much mistakes that there is enough results for "Blue-ray" that the "did you mean" doesn’t pop-up.

An ad by a major retail store in the newspapers last week was announcing the "Samsung Blue-ray player"! Talk about confusing people! All those people that did not knew about the technology are now convinced that the correct spelling is Blue-ray and not Blu-ray. They just run to their computer now and search for Blue-ray and find enough results just like if it was the correct spelling.

Blue-ray may look cool without the "e" but at this point, the only result they have is a major dilution of the internet traffic.

We took a look at the HD DVD camp if they had problems with HDDVD or HDVD. We found those results for july in Overture: 29299 searches for HD DVD against 1527 for HDDVD and only 515 for HDVD. We see that the HD DVD doesn’t have a misspelling problem like the blu-ray camp. We can certainly count that as a bonus for HD DVD in the "HD DVD vs. Blue-ray" war!

The Best Blu Ray Movies Of All Time

With more than a dozen major movie studios supporting the Blu ray disc format, it is no wonder that Blu ray movies often fly off of shelves the minute that they are

released. Why the big scramble for the BDs while the same films that are on DVDs sit with nary a taker? There are a lot of things that in many peoples opinions make the Blu ray format supreme to DVDs, but which movies on BD are considered the best?

To answer this question, there first needs to be standards set that define what makes a disc truly great. Most critics agree that to be considered for the list of Best of all Time, a film has to have incredible audio transfer, spectacular video transfer

that is the best that Hi Def has to offer, and also must have bonus features and extras included that do way more than just take up space on the disc. Although the DVD format of course lets movies include many different kinds of bonus features, the BD takes that to all new levels that DVD has never seen. Even if a film was not received very well by critics or audiences, what makes or breaks Blu ray movies are the special effects that are experienced that only a movie on BD can offer.

One of the best Blu ray movies is Blade Runner: The Final Cut. This release is actually a five disc collectors set, each disc having a different cut of the movie. The extras are considered excellent from the audio commentaries to feature length documentaries, and the movie has been digitally restored and has been called dazzling by many.
Ratatouille is another one that has been dubbed as one of the best, and it is because the crisp video and brilliant colors are nothing short of impressively mesmerizing to look at. Going way above and beyond just a simple cartoon, this movie has become one of the favorites of Blu ray fans everywhere.

Another fan favorite of the Blu ray movies is The Godfather set. The restoration that had gone into these films was incredibly difficult because the original negative had been damaged over time because it has been printed so many times. The restoration was a stunning success, however, which resulted in a beautifully clear picture and audio that has never been heard before that is full of new power, richness, and fullness. These are just a few examples of some of the most popular Blu ray movies that have been released for fans to enjoy and cherish for years more to come.

Faq: What Is The Difference Between Blu Ray And Dvd Formats?

One of the most common questions about Blu Ray and DVD is, Whats the Difference? and the truth is that there are several. Just as the digital disc replaced VHS tapes with better sound and sharper image quality, the Blu Ray is expected to replace the DVDs with better audio and visual performance and more.

To start, the storage capacity of the current single layer DVD is 4.7GB, and the dual layer is 8.5GB. The Blu Ray discs have 25GB and 50GB, respectively. More storage capacity means more of the movie can fit onto one disc, and there is loads more room for bonus features and interactive extras on the BD (Blu ray) disc. The laser wavelength of the digital video disc (DVD) is 650nm (red laser) while the BD is at 405nm (blue laser). Both kinds of discs have the same diameters and the same thickness, at 120mm and 1.2mm respectively.

What many find interesting about the difference between the DVD disc and the Blu ray format is that while the DVD has a protective layer that is 0.6mm thick, the BD has a layer for protection that is only 0.1mm thick. However, while the digital video disc has no hard coating to help protect it, the BD does. There is a difference in track pitch in the two kinds of formats; the Blu ray has a track pitch of 0.32 m while the DVD disc has a track pitch of 0.74 m. In addition, the BD has a data transfer rate for downloads of 36.0Mbps (1x) while the digital video disc has a data transfer rate of only 11.08Mbps (1x). For audio and video transfers, the transfer rate for BD is 54.0Mbps (1.5x) and the audio/video transfer rate for the digital disc is only 10.08Mbps (

If you are encountering problems with your Xbox 360, you are not alone. There are countless reasons your Xbox 360 may be acting up, which is precisely why you want to familiarize yourself with the different kinds of “E” errors. In doing so, you can repair your Xbox 360 on your own saving yourself a great deal of money.

If your Xbox is receiving an E65, E65 or E66 error, this means your DVD drive is encountering some problem. Typically this is due to overheating, but take the time to look online to see what other problems it may be.

The next kind of “E” errors is E67, E68 and E69. These are all related to your hard drive, which can make it difficult to repair your Xbox 360 on your own. You can try to reformat it, but it is important you look online for extensive instructions for you to follow.

The most common problem gamers experience is an E74 error. This error is generally related to the AV cable and the way it was installed. To solve this problem you can usually just disconnect it and then reconnect it. However, this error may also be due to a faulty ANA chip or overheating. Take the time to research the various errors so that you can repair your Xbox 360 correctly.
