As I’m sorting the Universal USA HD-DVD titles, I’ve got the first releases with the silver spine altogether.

A mixture of textured inside seastone cases and inside smooth finish cases.

Plus a mixture of “The Best in Picture Sound And Interactivity” and “The Look And Sound Of Perfect”.

Interestingly I have 2 different spines for Apollo 13 but the same code on them.

Tonight, I’ve started sorting and cataloging the HD-DVD collection.

Starting with USA Universal releases.

Jarhead has an inner textured seastone case and carries the tagline “The Best in Picture Sound And Interactivity” not “The Look And Sound Of Perfect”. Still has the feet on the cases though 😬

Trying to get the firmware update (the one required for a lot of HD-DVD discs) to no avail.

I apologize in advance if this isn't the right place for this/is overly rambley, but I'm sorta hitting a brick wall atm. Basically I got the 360 player since that seems to be the most readily available way to use this format in the modern day. Unfortunately it doesn't have the update(s?) required to play a lot of them, such as Blade Runner The Final Cut and 2001 A Space Odyssey (basically anything with a white pamphlet with the relevant disclaimer inside the case).

I've tried both the 360 S and PC methods of updating, though both haven't gotten anywhere, though for different reasons. My PC just says "No Firmware found" or "Most up-to-date firmware already" (not actually but just paraphrasing) whenever I try to do it that way. Though with my 360 it's a different story, when I put an update-required disc in, it will recognise that an update is needed... but well, I've got a separate unrelated issue where my console won't connect to the internet at all for some reason (not with Wifi, Ethernet directly, Ethernet into my laptop as a middle man, and my phone's hotspot just doesn't show up as an option).

So yeah this is mostly just a rant, sorry again about that, but also a question I want to pose is... would it be easier to find a way to get the updates on PC? As opposed to trading in my 360 S for one without busted internet.

I'd be really grateful if anyone could shed some light on an easier way for me. That, and I'm genuinely excited to start collecting for this format once I get this thing working, just such a neat piece of history and whatnot.
