The beginning of this blog and the first sad announcement.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I welcome you to HD-DVD Saxony. "Yet another HD-DVD blog." you may think but I say "Maybe. But we'll have some nice surprises waiting for you in the near future. And I won't hesitate to buy the finest movies yet to be released. Thanks to the missing regionlock I'll not only test European releases but also US movies and the ones from Asia (I will also check some North-African sources as I got informed that some richer countries like Egypt or Dubai do have some HD-DVDs too.).

The point that moved me to open up this blog however is somehow sad.

I'm in need to inform you that AOL Time Warner and it's daughter companies (most memorable: New Line Cinema, the company behind such wonderful flicks like The Lord Of The Rings or The Golden Compass) cut HD-DVD support.

They'll however support the media till the beginning of June after which they'll be Blu-Ray exclusive.

But no need to really weep. Dry your tears as there are still some well producing studios left. Like Paramount/Dreamworks or Universal for example.

Signed, Markus B.

PS: Only 1 month and 3 days till my next birthday:) Not only a happy day for me but for all readers of this blog as I'll get some wonderful HD-DVDs for birthday. They will of course get some further reviews on this page.
