2008 Blu-ray releases - Blu-ray Forum

SeanMF · 12-17-2007, 04:59 AM

So I'm looking at Amazon and other sites at upcoming new releases for blu-ray and hd-dvd. Neither seem to have much as far as releases for January or 2008 announced. Is more release announcements something I should expect very soon/or from CES?

CES.

January is historically a pretty slow month for home video releases. Look at the movie release schedule...all the crap movies come out 3 or 4 months before January. The big releases already came out before Christmas, and the Christmas theatricals won't make their way to shelves before April or May.

There are plenty of titles from that list that I will be getting.
I'm impressed by the quality and quantity of titles on the horizon for blu-ray.

Blu-Jawa · 12-17-2007, 05:33 AM

I hope there's a Hi-Def Release of the "Ghostbusters" films next year. I saw a Commiercial that the "Universal HD" Channel will be showing Ghostbusters in Hi-Def soon.

I know Universal is on the "HD-DVD" side of the traxs, but maybe they will see the "Blu" Light soon. ether way I own Both formats.

Verbal · 12-17-2007, 05:36 AM

Yeah....mostly catalog titles. The "day-and-date" slate will be a bit dry for a while. We won't be getting the kind of run on "new" movies that we've had of late. This Tuesday's pretty much the end of that.

I pre-ordered Shoot 'Em Up. 2008 is up for a good start

maybe I'll go "1 new blu-ray-order pr week" for 2008

Guinness7 · 12-17-2007, 12:51 PM

Almost every week has at least five titles which should be enough.

I've already ordered 3:10 to Yuma and Breaker Morant from Amazon.
