Toshiba HD-XE1: Good things come to those who wait

Crave The remote control is fantastic -- it feels like you could beat King Kong to death with it. It's no secret: we've been on the edges of our seats, waiting for the 1080p HD DVD player from Toshiba, for a while now.

Hands on: Toshiba Qosmio G30 HD DVD laptop

Crave Happy Gilmore looked little better than a DVD and King Kong, while certainly impressive, wasn't as gut-wrenchingly awesome as we remember it at the cinema. Holy blue lasers Batman, here's an actual HD DVD device in the flesh!

Panasonic TH-50PX600B: Well worth severe back strain

Crave Once we had the TV set up a gathering of people arrived, much like at an art gallery, and we stood around discussing the merits of King Kong biting the tongue off a T-Rex in high definition. We love massive TVs -- who doesn't?

ViewSonic VX1962wm review

Reviews With the monitor set to the 6500K colour temperature, we noticed that King Kong on DVD had an overall yellowish hue to it, almost as if the film stock itself had a yellow coating. It has its fair share of problems, however, including a relatively...

Acer AT4220: A 42-inch LCD for under a grand

Crave The screaming girl and the chimp in King Kong looked delightful. Are you addicted to Coke? cans isn't that many. It's just two cans a day, for two years. Or, if you prefer, one a day for four years. Which means that if you gave up drinking Coke...

Xbox 360 HD DVD drive: Hi-def peripheral

Crave The drive will be out in time for Christmas, and will be bundled with a remote control and an HD DVD copy of Peter Jackson's King Kong. This does exactly what it says on the tin: it's an add-on to the next-gen console that plays HD DVD movies at...

Sanyo CE32LD81-B review

Reviews HD scenes that we know to be packed with lovely fine detail, like the shots of the jungles of Skull Island on the King Kong HD DVD, look slightly soft and fuzzy on this Sanyo, lacking the 'snap' that usually makes HD so adorable.

Nokia N76 review

Reviews To be blunt, you'd have to have hands like King Kong for it to feel comfortable. Rejoice. Not only has Nokia finally made a thin clamshell phone with the N76, but as a poke in the eye to Motorola's Razr range it's gone and stuffed it full of...

Microsoft Xbox 360 HD DVD drive review

Reviews A copy of King Kong is currently bundled with the drive, and some of the scenes really show what hi-def is all about: the shots of 1930s New York boast a breathtaking level of detail, for instance. The device is not designed for games -- and...

Loewe Connect 37 Media Full-HD+ DR+ review

Reviews We used King Kong to test the HD material and had excellent results. Sure, the Loewe Connect 37 Media Full-HD+ DR+ is a ridiculous product name. To some extent, though, it's easier to remember than a traditional model number, like, say, Loewe...

Samsung LE46F86 review

Reviews Our usual collection of test discs, including Serenity and Happy Gilmore, looked stunning and we saw plenty of detail in King Kong's fur, too. Now you can't throw a scone without hitting one. But this is good news, because 1080p makes HD DVD and...

Samsung to blitz Apple with ads and products

News For them to speed that up, they need devices where you can buy King Kong the day after you see it. Samsung last year publicly vowed to take away Apple's top spot in music players by 2007. This year it will kick off that effort with a bevy of...

Crave Talk: When will the HD DVD vs Blu-ray madness end?

Crave So far I've watched Superman Returns, King Kong, Happy Gilmore and most exciting of all, Serenity. I have no doubt that by this time next year the skirmish between the two hi-def disc formats will be over.
