Extended version of Lord of the Rings on BluRay on my 58" TV. A bit less sad.

I saw that was coming out last week. Likely at the top of my Crimbo list. I have the 3 DVD extended edition versions, and love the extra footage. I was a little disappointed when I first got my Blu-ray player that these DVD's didn't have much of an improvement via the player's "upconversion" like some DVD's have. I can't wait to watch these on Blu-ray.

Have a great time, and maybe we can keep Warspite in check. Not holding my breath on that one

Thanks guys, she was a cute cat but dumb as a box of rocks. We still have her sister. Her pic is a few pages back as a game destroyer.

Morning (0718) tithe... Feels really tropical this morning with the temperature up to +2.9. But for some strange reason our driveway is still icy, and Mrs Divepac just-about ended up on Her bum!

We watched it for Christmas 2009 holidays in consecution... we loved it (we watched originals in the movie theater)...

The "upconverting" is just a marketing ploy... it does not serve any purpose except for some very poor TV sets...

In essnce the idea behind "upconverting" is that coputer in DVD / BluRay should be better in upconverting 720x480 DVD to 1920x1080 resolution delivered to HD TV via HDMI than HD TV itself (when fed 720x480 DVD and then internally upconverting it to native resolution of 1920x1080)!

Since HD TVs usually have much better processing than DVD / BluRay players this is much better option!

Thus, if you have decent TV - ALWAYS use the TV to do upconverting!

Hi all,

Have you guys in the USA seen the Chevy Volt electric car?

IMHO this is great because for the first time such innovative ideas (electric cars via really big companies for reasonable amount of money) are finally mass produced for everyone!

Thanks for the tip, Leo! I'll have to look into how to use the TV to do the "upconversion." All I know is that some of our DVD's look WAY better on the 46" Samsung, played on the Blu-ray player, than they do upstairs on a conventional CRT TV and standard DVD player. Some of our DVD's, like the LotR set, look the same.

I haven't seen one in person yet, just the advertising.
