Still doesn't change the fact that it doesn't really effect the scene at all. After all this build up about it, all these people complaining, it turned out to be a huge non-event.

My copy arrived just a bit ago. About the change in music... really, what they used isn't out of place at all. It doesn't distract from my enjoyment of the episode one bit. Its not Greedo shooting first by any means.

Thumbs up for an episode not tangled up in the nonsensical plot.

Wait wait... Dangaioh had a story? I've never seen the butchered Manga release, but the US Renditions release couldn't have been much better.

I wonder if I would have not been happier now if the series had been more of what was in that last episode than "who is going to be a Cylon this week" and "The Cylons want to kill us~>make peace with us~>kill us~>breed with us~>kill us~>make pea...". I liked this episode because it didn't reek of the "we really don't know where we are going with all of this" mess that has plagued the show for so long.

I am guessing if the effort is made, the audio from the R0 disc for episode 1 can be use to replace the audio in the R1 release.

This episode didn't work for me because I had no idea where all those people came from. Like, surprise, we have refugees! Did I miss something?

I disagree.

I'm waiting to be let down by another sub-standard Macross production. I can't believe its been over a decade since Plus was released.

Oh look, a kitty!

Except for the Wii, and wow, check out all the positive press it is getting.

Bring a PC gamer, really, I am totally with you on that. Fact is, when these consoles come out, they are all taking a loss on every unit sold. When you get right down to it, Sony's problem is the price tag.

Sony is already taking a big loss with what they are selling the PS3 for now, and BR is more likely to end up being the next Laserdisc than it is the next DVD. All I see are "if's", and Nintendo is already getting it done.

IMDB has Frank Welker voicing Megatron. He was the original voice of Megatron. Is this information correct?

You are assuming that these multi-console games are developed with just one console in mind to begin with. That's just not true, especially in the case of EA. On the other hand, EA has stated the following: "Each title will remain true to the hallmarks of its franchise but is being designed to maximize the power of the Wii hardware and take full advantage of the uniqueness and innovation of its one-of-a-kind controller." and "Once we started to experiment with Madden on Wii, there was an explosion of innovation. Everyone in the studio is energized by the creative opportunity afforded by both the hardware and controller. By reaching into our catalogue, we are able to bring a fresh and distinctive experience to some of EA's most popular franchises. Creatively, the game play possibilities are staggering and endless." Developers love the Wii, the press loves the Wii, and judging by sales and player reactions, they love the Wii. I haven't owned a Nintendo console is 10 years, but I am seriously considering picking up this one sometimes this year. This is coming from a PSX/2 owner for the past decade, who has NO interest in Sony's latest offering.

Doesn't really matter if they are first, second, or third party developers. EA games, for instance, has publicly been gushing over the Wii. The days of truly "exclusive" second party games is long behind us at this point. And no one can beat Nintendo at "first party" games.

Exactly.

And this is different from any other console launch? I wouldn't be so sure of that.

I'm kinda out of the whole console thing right now, but from everything I've read in the press (gaming and non-gaming), it sounds like the Wii is the big winner. May have to pick one up sometime next year.

Sounds like the release is a winner.

Blueray and HD, see "Laserdisc". Wake me up in 5 years or so.

I was a big Moebius Silver Surfer fan, but not a chance in hell I'll be seeing this turd.

I consider both HD and Blueray to be the new "Betamax". You can't just keep pumping out new formats because you can. DVD has yet to run out its lifespan (you could argue that its at its peak right now). Neither HD or Blueray will replace it.

I always wanted to own a movie on Betamax!
