Gears of War

Maybe I'm mistaken but I was under the impression that HD-DVD could only do 1080i or 720p and not 1080p. I seem to remember that being one of the upsides of Blue-Ray; that you'd have native 1080p content whereas HD-DVD was limited to 720p or 1080i.
 
The Kong packaging indicates it is 1080p.

The audio is "Dolby Digital Plus 5.1." I looked at a Blu-Ray disc today; apparently Blu-Ray audio is uncompressed.

My friend has a new 62-inch 1080p set. Next week I may see how HD-DVD looks on his TV. I haven't viewed a true 1080p signal yet.
 
GoW is tight...im at the scene where you have to kill a berserker...and as soon as the berserker slammed through a wall and killed me...i have been too scared to play it...

All HD-DVDs are encoded in native 1080p. Before the XBOX-360 add-on, there were no HD-DVD players on the market that could actually pass the 1080p signal. Microsoft recently added a downloadable update for the 360 to convert everything to 1080p. The games for the system have to be upscalled to 1080p, but not the HD-DVDs, since they are native 1080p.

Blu-Ray has a larger disc capacity (50GB Dual Layer) as oppossed to HD-DVD (35GB Dual Layer), but movies on both formats are being encoded at native 1080p.

That scene totally freaked me out the first time around. They've got awesome sound design across the board for the game. I've been playing mostly in the middle of the night on a 50in HD DLP w/ surround sound, dousing the lights and cranking the speakers. It gets real creepy fast!

GoW and ghost recon are really well done.
 
I haven't played Ghost Recon yet, I need to rent it or something. I can't afford any more games right now. lol

How is Call of Duty 3? I have 2 (for ps2) and don't relaly like it too much. I don't think the controls are that great and the game isn't as fun as some others.
