Pirates 3 VS Battlestar - Blu-ray Forum

XanderAE · 08-14-2007, 11:57 AM

Title says it all...

HD DVD has announced the opponent to Blu-ray's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End on December 4th: Battlestar Galactica Season 1 (6 discs)

What do you all think?

Who's likely to prevail?

My guess... no Cylon horde can prevail against Captain Jack Sparrow and the Black Pearl!! (No matter how good a TV series it is! - and it is good!)

This won't even be close. Galactica is a cult following at best. POTC 3 has done hundreds of millions worldwide.

Personally..I'd rather have Battlestar. That is one of a very few handful of titles I really want to own.

Battlestar was one of the reasons I waited on getting a Blu-Ray. And it has much more than a cult following. Have you ever checked out some of the home videos on the Sci Fi website? Hopefully Universal will come to their collective senses and go Blu.....

I wouldn't under rate Battlestar. It also gives hope to other Sci Fi series as well in the (near) future. I dont think BD has anything like this out yet.

Xerosaber · 08-14-2007, 01:11 PM

you guys must be joking when you say Battlestar will outsell Pirates. seriously. im waiting for the JUST KIDDING!!! battlestar IS a cult following, if you dont think so, then you probably like it and you ARE IN THE CULT. for example, i am in the air force, which is the nerd branch of the military, and im also in avionics, which is where one of the highest concentration of nerds gather. only 2 of the 25+ people i work with like the show and roughly 10 have even heard of it. and guess what? those 2 dont even own an HD-DVD player! im not saying its a bad show, i would probably like it, just havent had time to watch it lately. but to even doubt, in the smallest way, that Pirates, a BILLION DOLLAR FRANCHISE, will not beat the living hell out of their "opponent" on Dec. 4th is ludicrous. check the top grossing movies. Pirates 1-3 are all in the top 10. badabing badaboom bettyboop.

I'm with Spankey. I would really love to own this series in hi-def over POTC:AWE.

It would almost be worth it to me to buy a $199.00 HD-DVD player just to have this series.

Must...not...give...in...
Wait...for...blu...wait...for...blu...

Iceman_II · 08-14-2007, 01:11 PM

I'd like to own battlestar as well, but face it, countering POTC-3? I personally don't think it is up to the task.

So what if they attempt to counter POTC... that still leaves the SM trillogy to steamroll them.

buckshot · 08-14-2007, 01:18 PM

in the real world (outside of here) I only know 2 people who watch battlestar. but almost everyone I know went to see potc:awe. I wanted to get into battlestar but I just couldn't, I would definetly put it under cult following.

now firefly/serenity, there's one I hope for everyday I have serenity on my hd dvr.

hvacigar · 08-14-2007, 05:34 PM

Battlestar is far and away the better of the two for me, as I cannot stand the Pirate movies. Fortunately, I am neutral convention, so I may take HD up on the Battlestar collection.

clyon · 08-14-2007, 06:23 PM

POTC-3 will out sell BSG. $22 vs $99

at lease we will have Lost on BD. I've got S1-3 of BSG on DVD alreadly, so I will wait for when Universal goes BD then pick up BSG on bd.

I think POTC 3 will outsell Battlestar but I would rather have Battlestar Galatica.
