Davisdvd.com is saying goodbye
Patrick has a message over at davisdvd.com stating that he is not going to continue doing updates for the site.
www.davisdvd.com
I know that Patrick is a member of DVDTalk and I would like to thank him for the great website he created and mantained for many years and wish him well in all his future endeavors.

That sucks, I really liked that site. I figured it was going to happen due to the lack of updates, but there are other priorities in life than posting dvd news.
Good Luck with everything Patrick.

Nice site. It had the scoop on lots of DVD news over bigger sites a shocking amount of the time. Lots of obvious effort there. Thanks and good luck!

If the site comes back, I wouldn't mind it if he concentrated on the section detailing alternate cuts of movies, with visual aids. That was a great area of DavisDVD, and one I enjoyed reading, but it looks like he more or less abandoned it. 
That and the section pointing horrible and derivative coverart (another neat area).

Thanks for your efforts, Patrick!

Only the best DVD news site ever! I've followed it for SIX years. Such a shame it's done now... At least they were the first to break the news about the new Killer SE coming soon...

I am definitely going to miss davisdvd.com. What a great resource! I especially loved the detailed previews for animation titles. Hopefully, we'll someday see another iteration of the davisdvd model, perhaps davis-hddvd.com??? Best of luck, Patrick.

I remember the glory days of DVD when I first got a player in 1998, I would go on to DVDFile, Digitalbits, DavisDVD everyday, and there would be something new I could look forward to buying. I miss the good ol days of anticipating new titles, that would enable me to throw away those crappy VHS tapes.

DavisDVD was always one of my favorite go-to sites on the net for news. If I didn't have this site I don't know where else I'd go. Thanks for the good work you did.
