HOW TO WATCH HD-DVDs ON PS3

di Frankie (01/10/2008 - 09:00)


Few weeks ago I visited the really cool Transformer HD DVD promo booth in Akiba, but since  I don't have an HD player I bought the DVD version. But seems that a Japanese gamer found a way to watch the Transformers HD DVD version on his Playstation 3. He succesfully burned the movie on a Blue Ray but seems that he still can't transfer the subtitles from HD DVD to Blue Ray.

HD DVD & TRANSFORMERS IN AKIBA

di Frankie (12/22/2007 - 16:20)


Today walking in Akiba (near the Yodobashi "Death Star" Camera megastore) I found a really cool HD DVD promotional both focused on the release of the brand new Transformers HD DVD. The HD DVD Promotion Gruop is doing its best to fight against Blu Ray and push customers to buy HD DVD players during this Christmas. I tried the Toshiba Vardia RD-A301 and I'm really impressed by this HD Hardisk recording, HD DVD  recorder. People who will buy this the RD-A301 before 31 January 2008 will get a free Transformers HD DVD and limited edition Voyager-class Starscream (Starscream Vardia Red Model) in a a special red and gold paint .

Friio: Japanese HD TV DRM Free

di Frankie (11/11/2007 - 08:08)


Friio
(the name comes from english term " being free") lets user watch and record on a PC High Vision tv shows (ハイビジョン = Japanese HD TV) bypassing the DRM  limits. This means that we will start to see a flood of HD japanese shows on torrents in the next weeks (dramas and anime fansubbed in better than DVD quality...). Friio costs 29,800円 (Yen)  and is compatible with Windows XP and Vista (but still no OSX).
