Big hits now or later? - Blu-ray Forum

Blu-dock Saint · 08-31-2007, 08:51 AM

I was wondering who here thinks its better if Blu would release some big hits such as Alien, Snatch, Fight Club, etc etc, earlier in the war, later in the war, spread throughout or after the war is over?

I would say throughout, just when people dont expect it BAM release another big punch, but I'm interested on everyone elses input.

I think they should come around Christmas time that way a parent would buy their kid (or themself) a really popular Blu-Ray movie like having Batman Begins coming out for Christmas or just right after it.

I'm still waiting for V for Vendetta to be on Blu....hopefully really soon, and I'm hoping Batman Begins is on Blu before the second one comes out.

I imagine it will be like that National Treasure for Batman Begins like how National Treasure comes out to Blu like about the same time the 2nd one comes out. So yeah i bet Batman Begins 2 or whatever title they will call it the Blu version will probably come out at about the same time. That way you buy the 1st and then watch the 2nd in theaters in the same time. But it sucks that Hd-Dvd already has the 1st.

I'm hoping they throw in a lil something extra for when it comes out on Blu, but probably not, and by a lil something I mean like mpeg 4

well there probably wont be any new special features in the extras as for the audio thats a different story maybe it might have better audio then again maybe not. As long as it has at least some extras, better picture, and good sound thats all that matters to me of buying it.

i think batman begins will be released way earlier. it all depends on the profile 1.1, which include PIP feature. which warner bros, been crying about.

I still think the adoption this Christmas won't be as big as everyone expects. I expect adoption to increase heavily during 2008. My gut feeling is that they should slowly release hits throughout 2008 in anticipation of a high adoption rate next year.
