If you’ve ever wondered what HD-DVD or BluRay might get you compared to your old DVDs, check out this nice comparison of the Fellowship of the Ring DVD and HD versions. He’s done a great job of laying out nearly identical captures of both versions so you can see directly how they compare.

It’s all about getting closer to the way the filmmakers intended us to see their film in my mind, and this is getting us closer each day. I just got the Xbox 360 HD DVD Player and hope to see for myself how much better it can be. Netflix to the rescue!
