Fox and Microsoft? - Blu-ray Forum

cathexist · 08-30-2007, 04:29 PM

Because of the recent acquisition of the Halo movie by Fox, is it possible that Fox would go neutral on HD-DVD and Blu-ray?

They just announced releasing Family Guy on Xbox Live.

Not bloody likely.

Fox are just about the most paranoid studio around and they know that the AACS hack is pretty permanent so BD+ is going to be required to stop piracy.

Also they are huge fans of region coding, HD DVD doesn't offer it.

It's kind of Odd that Halo is Microsoft exclusive, which is dud exclusive. Yet the movie rights are fox exclusive, which is Blu exclusive.

Well, that would force X-Box fanboys to buy Blu-Ray players if they want to watch the Halo movie.

All it means is that video sales over live are doing really well, and Fox wants in on the action. Disney's over there too.

That's perfect for me since I'm huge Halo fan (I wear Master Chief Underoos) and an ardent blu-ray supporter.

That would be truly ironically...

MrBogey · 08-30-2007, 05:25 PM

That says Wii60. How many times has that been shopped?

Blu-Style · 08-30-2007, 05:28 PM

Yeah i know, that it is a fake pic ... it´s obviously ^^

CptGreedle · 08-30-2007, 05:29 PM

Disney ALSO releases things to XBOX live, cause it is a different medium. It is a downloadable content. Likewise, Disney and FOX are also on iTunes. They are just getting the digital download format out there.
the HD disc format they chose is Blu-ray. Period!

Maxell · 08-30-2007, 05:56 PM

"Own Halo the movie exclusively on Blu-Ray" lol

DAMNSAM77 · 08-30-2007, 06:14 PM

Fox needs to make even more announcements, announcinf dates for The Simpsons and BORAT on Bluray! These two movies alone will move 1000's of new Bluray players off the shelves!!! Transformers and Shrek may be good movies but they won't be able to hold water when every BluRay exclusive studio is releasing 2007 blockbusters one after the other this holiday season

blurayalltheway · 08-30-2007, 06:20 PM

umm...all this sounds really well and hopeful, but you guys do know the Halo movie was cancelled right? It's like in production limbo. I highly doubt fox will be able to hold on to the rights with this one.
