HD-DVD commercials airing
Just saw a commercial last night after Jaws 2 on Universal HD. Was very surprised as I thought they weren't starting it yet. Wonder when they'll be on regular network channels. Anyone seen them yet?
Side note: for being almost 30 years old, Jaws 2 looked great.
So much for the big "everything after 1990 will only look good in HD."

The one with the helicopter? I thought for sure it was going to be an ad for a plasma TV, and I was kind of surprised with the HD-DVD reveal at the end. It's too pricey a spot to only air on niche channels like Universal HD, so I'd guess it'll be in wide circulation eventually...maybe when people can actually go out and buy a player again. 
Um, the girl in it looks awfully nice too.
