Island Fever 4 HD is breathtaking, picture perfect and the number one reason to go out and buy a HD DVD Player.” Roger Pipe at RogReviews.com raves, “Island Fever 4 was one of the best looking adult movies I had ever seen. The HD version is all that and then some. The picture quality was stunning, now it is even more crisp and vivid. The sound was great and now it has even more of a mainstream sound to it. Island Fever 4 was meant for this format. Rico Derobles, video buyer of Fantasy Distributors looks forward to Island Fever 4 HD, “Our HD section is beginning to pick up speed and Digital Playground’s titles are always the first to go and the first to get re-ordered. Island Fever 3 continues to be our best selling HD title and that is a strong indication that Island Fever 4 will fly off the shelves.”
Company president Samantha Lewis beams, “the Island Fever series always does exceptionally but the staggering HD numbers for Island Fever 4 have surprised us all. Its release was timed to coincide perfectly with a significant reduction in price on Toshiba’s HD-DVD player.” Each volume of Island Fever has contributed significantly to current technologies and Joone’s Island Fever 4 HD continues this pattern, raising the bar again in the HD market.
