Universal launched new HD DVD website

3 September 2007 22:29 by Dela

Last week, Universal Studios launched a new HD DVD promotional web site. Dubbed Universal Studios Home Entertainment Hi Def, it promises exclusive web-enabled content. It is designed to be an extensive resource for Universal customers who have bought HD DVD titles. Right now the site includes a FAQ covering the format's current interactive features, some technical support and previews of upcoming releases.

However, most of the sections that look like they will be promising are still "Under Construction". Among them are "U-Shop," which will apparently offer customers exclusive products as they watch the movies, "Best Buddies," a "MyScenes" feature and a dedicated "Download Center".

Universal has also promised that registered users of the site will have access to excluding official content including latest movie trailers and other material.

its a cool site , hopefully more of it comes online soon

Most of us already know about it.

That last comment on the linky is funny.

Another sign of HD DVD desperation I guess

"Universal is promoting their HD DVD movies! DESPERATE!!!"

Hey! At least it's not a BLOG site like that new BDA sponsored website.:D

Props to Universal for including the FAQ about firmware updates and error messages. I think this is one of the hurdles Joe Sixpack is going to have a hard time overcoming when buying into HD DVD (and Blu-ray). He's used to popping a DVD into his player and watching the movie without problems. I suspect as the HD technology grows though, less firmware updates will be necessary or when they are used it's solely to add improved features, not to provide improved connnection issues.

Already a thread on this subject:
