Can someone clarify this re:Manila DVD......

Will there be 2 versions released, standard and BLURAY?

I only see the standard version mentioned. Wish it were Blu Ray, but ain't arguing with the $10 price tag either... LOL! It will make it much easier to buy a bunch to give away.

I'd rather pay $50 and have it on Blu-ray to be honest

I've watched stuff on blu-ray and on DVD and I really don't see much of a difference. Is it really that big of a difference between the two media formats?

When it comes to musical performances, yes. Unless you're the type that can't tell the difference between an mp3 and a CD. If you fit that profile, then it probably won't matter to you.
A concert transferred to blue ray can bring you the sound the exact way it was recorded, as if you're there. A DVD can't.
The point here is, the show was filmed for HI-DEF. Why spend that kind of money to put the show out on an inferior format only?

From what I'm understanding about it now, it's primarily the sound quality and the amount of data that makes the biggest difference, not necessarily the video, yes? My hearing is almost shot anyways, starting with that damn rockman I got in Japan when I used to wail on the guitar and then from the years in bands. So I guess if I can hear it, that's all that really matters to me now. And yes, due to this, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between MP3 and CD.

The more space you have, the less you compress, whether it be Video or Audio.
That's why pirating BluRay to regular DVD. is stupid, especially a concert performance. Trying to cram 40 Gb onto a 9 GB disc is going to lead to significant degradation of both the audio and video, but people will do it anyway and brag about how great it looks and sounds.

From what I understand in 4XHD is that the resolution is 4x regular DVD quality. They can Bluray the release but definitely a very small difference in quality, maybe 2x better but that is understandable from the producers point of view. Why release a $50 product and isolate a bigger market of $10 paying fans if that will be the only difference? You will only encourage more piracy if the public won't be able to afford it plus the fact that they would surely wanted a NUMBER game for the release. Bluray will only give them a few thousand sale and most of those will be coming from the US. Also I am seeing a bluray release if the response to the DVD is good...

You release it in both. I know people who can't see any difference in HD versus Standard Def...and people who think VHS and DVD look the same too. Usually its because they don't have things hooked up correctly, but also because they are dumb and blind!
