oh my god why would you buy the 360 hd dvd player? that's like the worst piece of machinery ever created. the 360 is amazing but the hd dvd player isn't. it was given some very negative reviews by xbox magazine as well as other electronic mags out there. yes xbox magazine itself went against it's own. one of the main reasons is cuz no matter if you have the best hd tv the hd dvd player still puts out blurry images. to quote xbox mag "that's what you get for $200 dollars". i was almost thinking about buying it but after i saw the one my cousin bought, which he then returned cuz of the problems stated in xbox mag, i decided not to. i'm going to wait it out and see what comes out on top hd or blu ray.
now as for the hd dvd of black christmas i read it'll just be the same as the regular dvd with the same features.
i almost didn't get my copy at the target. i was planning on going when it opened by i decided to wait until later. so around 5pm i went. at the place where they have new dvds they had sold out but then i remembered that they have another area with new dvd releases towards their back wall and that where i found the last two copies. one was rated and the other was unrated widescreen. i took my unrated version and i still havent seen it. but i was upset that there weren't that many features on it. oh well you can't always get what you want.
the special features are as follows:
1. What have you done?: the remaking of black christmas.
2. May all your christmases be black: a filmaker's journey.
3. Deleted Scenes
4. 3 alternate endings.
not even a commentary track. you would expect something like a commentary track for the price it's going at at major retailers. $19.99. the cheapest i found it was at circuit city for $17.99. i think with tax it comes out for $19.46. not sure. i'm figuring the studio that made the movie just wants to make as much money off of the movie as it can since it didn't do well at the box office. i mean c'mon those after dark horror horrorfest movies that just came out on dvd are being sold at about $16.99 and they include more special features and they're not good movies. i've seen some of the after dark movies and black christmas is a lot more entertaining than those.
