Fox isn't supporting Blu-ray too well... - Blu-ray Forum

Garconis · 04-24-2007, 01:16 AM

Night at the Museum is coming out on Blu-ray tomorrow. Yet their commercials for that movie, are only advertising that it is coming out on DVD. No "...and Blu-ray." Why?

yeah...I did notice this....

with their recent comments and not putting out any BD's for the near future...or at least list any titles in the near future..

I don't know what's going on over there...

I actualy saw a commercial for just the blu-ray version late last night. I think it was during the Red Wings game

Fox is waiting for BD+, new encryption technology, to get finalized. They're fully supporting blu-ray, but they don't want piracy, so don't worry. Once that's done, they'll be releasing them in full swing.

I wondered this too. I haven't really seen alot of Blu-Ray commercials lately either.

cueman98 · 04-24-2007, 04:19 AM

I just saw the ad and it said "on dvd and Blu ray disc" for tomorrow.

Fox is exclusive to Blu-ray, only Warners and Paramount are neutral.

I hope that Fox stays exclusive to Blu-ray. If I don't see Office Space out within the next 6 months i'm going to go on a hunger strike!

Why would Fox go neutral if they're waiting for BD+ to get finalized. They're waiting because they want that added security, something which HD-DVD cannot give them.

I see no reason to worry at all about Fox going neutral. They want the anti-piracy security, which cannot be provided by HD-DVD.

donricouga · 04-24-2007, 03:31 PM

I also saw the commercial and it said available on dvd and bluray disc.

kknight · 04-24-2007, 03:45 PM

Fox is waiting for BD+, once this is settled. Expect a full line of Fox movies coming out!!! I predict in the next couple of weeks.

Sneak Peek · 04-24-2007, 04:57 PM

Fox has not let up on their preparation of Blu-Ray releases. Don't worry guys, they're coming...

GTP · 04-24-2007, 05:02 PM

Are you people kidding.....all I hear about in these advertisements is available on dvd and Blu-ray.....on all supporting studio releases.

assur191 · 04-24-2007, 05:18 PM

Actually, I saw an ad for NATM last night, and it only said coming on DVD. I'm sure they have different ads, though.
