National geographics is pure blu-ray
Joining ranks with warner, National geographics will now only release it´s movies on the Blu-ray hd medium.
Astonishing to see some people still buying hd-dvd in US of a while here in Europe people even get money when they trade in their useless hd.dvd players and instead pick up a blu-ray player.

Eu driving playstation 3
With big sales, outselling x360 week in, week out in Europe and an ever increasing sales %, Italy + 70%, Australia + 45% (not that i count australia as an European country, but they are included in PAL regions) and the ps3 outselling the x360 by a 3:1 ratio in EU last week, Europe is for sure once again driving the success of a Playstation generation.
And finaly it´s paying off with Sony focusing more energy on Europe and releasing stuff for Europe first and secondly US of A, PlayTV is bound for release in key Eu regions by the end of April, and even tho we already have dvr built into our plasma tv it´s nice to see Sony widening the apeal of the ps3, making it even more the premium media center solution for any high end household, well with the latest pricedrops ps3 is affordable for any kind of household, so high end should more be read as households looking for the best entertainment solutions for their own pleasure and fun today and tomorrow.

Resistance 2 looking realy good, highres image
Have to say i´m starting to look forward to this game, great graphics and it´s just pre alpha, 8 player co.op and what not, i wasnt that big of a fan of the first game even tho we sometimes play it in co.op in our family, but against warhawk and the likes it´s just not that popular with us, great story and atmosphere tho and with the increase in graphical quality and 8 player co.op resistance 2 is starting to look realy interesting.

DivX Pro for Mac free again (for some odd reason)
SanDisk Sansa to support DivX video
A spokesperson for DivX, Kristina Weise, told Ars that this would offer consumers high-quality Hollywood content in DivX for the first time ever, and that the deal would cover "all titles in the Sony Pictures Television library." She also said that all titles would be download-to-own, but that there will be some type of unspecified DRM. Tracking down those DivX Sony movies might be a challenge, though. "We have no announcements with retailers at this time," she told us.

Great news for both users and Sony, one more step in the right direction for Sony whom seems to have been on fire lately and the last few weeks Sony seems to have been doing everything right.

First and last hd.dvd from New line cinema
And the answer is Pan´s labyrinth, it was released by the end of 2007 and it will mark history as the first and last hd.dvd release by New line cinema, all their other movies, past and future ones will only see the light of day on Blu-ray and good ol dvd.
I cant wait for lotr to hit blu-ray and later on the two new hobbit movies, great times ahead for hd movie lovers.
Besides, has anyone noticed that sony demoed that you´ll be able to backup your blu-ray movies on your ps3 and further take that backup with you on your psp or a memory card, great news and times indeed for movie lovers, legal and easy to do backups is great.
