A story in today ’s WSJ highlight two things about HD videodisk that we already knew , but were n’t sure the world did :
• That many deed of conveyance from Sony , Fox and Disney that are Blu - beam only here in the US are useable in HD DVD in other country .
• And , since HD DVD is region - liberal , you could order disk on sites likeXploited Cinemaand do n’t have to worry about them not play on your HD DVD thespian .
The reverse was also the case , but there was a catch :
Some titles that come out entirely on HD videodisk in the U.S. number out on Blu - ray oversea , such as Universal Pictures ’ “ Bruce Almighty ” and “ Hollywoodland , ” but consumer must be trusted they are buying from a neighborhood that work with U.S. players . For Blu - ray , the U.S. is in the same region as almost all of the Americas and Southeast Asia .
The WSJ piece did n’t observe one piffling loophole for cult moving-picture show lover : some horror indies such as Dawn of the Dead , Halloween and Evil Dead II are useable on Xploited Cinema in “ neighborhood free ” Blu - ray .
The bottom line as far as the format warfare is concerned :
Still , most major gamey - definition titles useable overseas seem to reflect a electrical switch to HD videodisc , rather than the turnaround .
