Thanks to Paramount for waking up Fox and MGM - Blu-ray Forum

We should all thank Paramount to awaken the sleeping giants Fox and MGM.
Remember without such an announcement the sleeping monsters wouldn't have gone ahead and made a counter announcement.

true. We still have our own exclusive camp and we can out exclusive them in titles and maybe pressure will make losses greater then their bribe can sustain!

TauHeel05 · 08-21-2007, 03:17 AM

They may have awoken a sleepin' giant! Let's hope so.

There is no doubt. Paramount has an incredible catalog. Very disappointing news day.

That may be but, we still have a TON of great titles coming to Blu Ray. I'd rather see the original animated version on BD myself, since this is the one I grew up with. Not to mention that was released by Sony.

I know. Lets look ahead to the future. You'll get Voltron, Wolverine, AVP2 and James Cameron's Avatar.

SOny version is the uglyiest thing ever.

HOWEVER, Metronome will release the orignal in BluRay in UK, Sept 14th. MetroNome version on DVD is awesome. Now prey for a A,B,C release.

Paramount's decision has put a damper on my day but I refuse to buy an HD DVD while Blu-Ray is still the powerful force that it is. To hell with Paramount, I had my copy of Face/Off imported in May. I'll buy Transformers on DVD and upscale it. Who knows since Transformers is produced by Spielberg it may fall into "Spielberg Movies" and will be released on Blu-Ray. I admit with the news I almost faltered and gave into buy a HD DVD player but I kicked myself in the ass and said "My format is not dying and will not die." but HD DVD is!!!!!!!! Do you hear Paramount...we know you'll be back with you tail between your legs!!!!! Hey Fox and MGM...where are my damn Bond movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

w_tanoto · 08-21-2007, 04:17 AM

Yes, I would like to thank {Paramount} for waking the FOX, as a lot of my favourite movies are owned by them (Well, DISNEY first, then FOX)

how to make paramount understand..just buy DVD releases of their movies while buying blu-ray from the studios that support blu-ray. make paramount wish they never even made this choice. because Disney will be the death KNELL of HD DVD without DISNEY HD DVD is going to not make it.

Hey and don't forget Master and Comander. I just hope that Fox treats the blu-ray release with the same care they put into the DVD release. It is still considered a reference title with respect to audio. And the movie is excellent to boot.

Stop boo-hooing over 1 title. Definitely by no means will Transformers sell HD players, at least not for me! FOX just handed us 29 titles in return. How is that not a silver lining??

ben7ben3 · 08-21-2007, 05:20 AM

yeah i didn't even like transformers anyway...yeah it was cool in its own way, but it was definitely not a good movie...but we all have our opinions, i'm just pissed i won't be seeing Bourne trilogy on blu any time soon

I did not even watch it. Not my type of movies. Neither bourne trilogy. I'm really thinking that Universal's exclusivity deal is near the end. That is why M$ looking for its next prey.

gvortex7 · 08-21-2007, 05:28 AM

As much as liked Transformers I would take the Alien, Predator and Die Hard franchises over it any day.

J_UNTITLED · 08-21-2007, 05:46 AM

...Wow, I really am only one of two or three people here who thinks "Transformers" is a crappy film.
