Seen In HD Archives - The Digital Media Zone

After last week's Midwest Snowpocalypse forced us to take a week off, we're back this week with no Netflix news at all. Unfortunately, there wasn't much news elsewhere so we open the show talking Super Bowl XLV ads. We follow that up with discussion of Best Buy's new Buy Back program that looks to be a pretty bad deal, along with the Big Yellow Ticket's attempt to play the 28-day rental delay against Nextflix and Red Box (that's the only Netflix, we swear). Finally, in a bit of industry news, Audiovox is buying Klipsh (and along with it the Mirage upscale brand). The post Seen in HD 63 – Super Bowl ads, Best Buy buy back, KC Confidential review appeared first on The Digital Media Zone.

A quick turnaround for this week's show as we get back to our normal Wednesday recording schedule. For this week, the post-CES doldrums continue as news is pretty light. We spend a lot of time this week talking about Netflix. A pair of articles in Home Media Magazine highlight the lack of new movies on the red enveloped service's streaming menu (only nine of the top 100 movies from 2010 are available, compared to in the 40s for Amazon, Vudu, etc.) and examine the idea of a "disc-only" option (which we think is highly unlikely).

We launch this week's show with a look at Netflix's decision to remove the "Add to DVD Queue" from streaming devices. Does this indicate more sinister long-term notions from the DVD Mailing streaming company? We also look at the decision to hold Malcolm X from release, a week before it was to be out, and how music rights can impact releases. Phil gives a brief review of his new Windows Phone 7 and we look at the freakiest glasses-free 3D yet.
