They couldnt have picked a worse pile of sh*t to release than this rubbish...although Diaz in high def does sound nice...but it should of been lord of the rings or something epic for the first release

hmmm....pehaps they had to also factor in the the Types of Consumers who would be the [I]most likely[/I] to [B]initially[/B] buy those Disks e.g. Youngish Males (without turning off the female techies) - among other business concerns such as the commercial popularity of the film.

Who'd have thought it? A bunch of pasty faced engineers using a DVD with Demi Moore & Cameron Diaz in various revealing clothes & poses to stare at for prolonged periods in order to test their hardware. No... Way... & what was the competition there again? Tobey Maguire, pregnant Natalie Portman, Tom Cruise, Elijah Wood? Is it realy so surprising? Seriously
