Mods - you may want to sticky this one.

HDDb.net (http://www.hddb.net), a High Definition Database that tracks online reviews for both HD DVD and Blu-ray, has just been launched.

This site uses RSS feeds from HD review websites, and compiles all of the reviews on one site. You can see which site publishes each reviews first and even sort by popularity of reviews. The site is updated every two hours, so it is alway current and growing.

HDDb RSS feeds allow you to have access to a compiled list of all HD reviews online through a single feed - rather than having to subscribe to each review sites individual feeds.

Seven leading review sites are currently in the Db, and more are being added soon.

This site is truly the ultimate HD DVD review resource, one worth visiting on a daily basis.

Enjoy!

DVDBasen seems to have more reviews per title.
Thanks for the link, however!

More sites are being added all the time... should have more than Basen very soon. Plus, it adds some more features. It is also updated much more often than Basen. Cheers.

Can I ask that you add DVDTalk's reviews in there?

I've added your site to my sticky thread here:

Unfortunately, DVDTalk does not have an RSS feed for HDDVD or Blu-Ray
reviews, and HD/BD reviews don't appear to be included in their normal DVD Review
feed. HDDb works by watching RSS feeds - so the only way they can be added is if they get all of their HD/BD reviews into some sort of RSS feed. They have been contacted, but no word back yet - hopefully soon.

Nice site, really clean looking. Are you using Drupal?

Thanks. The site is all custom built, utilizing RSS feeds to populate the reviews.

FYI - we have just added a "Comments" feature to each disc review page... so you can now let you thoughts known on a particular release.

Here is an example...
