Why is that relevant to Transformers being HD only? How come you aren't complaining about the various Bluray only movies? And why the Microsoft connection? Sure they are HD backers, but what does that have to do with Transformers specifically? Read an online article last week, the director was complaining that it did not go on both. Since Microsoft paid to get it on HD only. 5D | 17-40L | Tammy 28-75 2.8 | 28-135 | 50/1.8 | 85/1.8 | Sony A6000 2-Lens Kit | SEL35 1.8 | EF 50 1.8 on NEX as my 75mm 1.8

DC9 Senior Member  301 posts Joined Nov 2004 Location: Somewhere Over America More info | Jan 02, 2008 16:13 | #27 We have hundreds of dollars invested in DVD. I’ll sit on the fence until this Beta vs. VHS Rumble Part Duex comes out with a clear winner. I’m not going to replace perfectly good DVDs with the HD equivalent just to have a closet full of obsolete HD disk in several years. This isn’t as major a jump in technology as it was to go from LP records to CDs or to go from tapes to DVDs. I can wait with my wallet safely tucked away for a few more years.

According to amazons comparisons, the HD ethernet is for firmware upgrades and content delivery. 5D | 17-40L | Tammy 28-75 2.8 | 28-135 | 50/1.8 | 85/1.8 | Sony A6000 2-Lens Kit | SEL35 1.8 | EF 50 1.8 on NEX as my 75mm 1.8
