Place your bets poll - Transformers BD release month - Blu-ray Forum

phloyd · 01-04-2008, 11:45 PM

Place your bet as to when you think Transformers will hit BD. Let's face it, the HD DVD sales will be decreasing as the year goes on so Dreamworks will be faced with the need to go BD at some point... when do you think that will be? Which month with Transformers hit BD?

Note that this is a public poll. (I am running with April)

Cyorg · 01-04-2008, 11:48 PM

February.

Blu-Runner · 01-04-2008, 11:51 PM

I'll say... Oct. 2008. I'm torn; I like what Michael Bay has said about Blu-ray recently, but the aftertaste of Paramount's decision is still sour. Maybe when I'm impulse buying.

Depends how quicky they opt out of their contract. Universal will make a move first, then Paramount will emmediatly reconfig their situation. Toshiba might even pull the plug on this far quicker than anyone can possibly beleive at this point. The war is over. BD is the dominant HDM choice. There is nothing left to spin at this point. Game over, so toshiba may decide to end it sooner to cut their losses and not loose anymore money.

ROFL. Well done.

Metalthrasher442 · 01-04-2008, 11:57 PM

I think no matter when they release it it will sell very well..so I'm just going to guess May or June.

Tichols · 01-05-2008, 12:01 AM

Im hoping for the summer, but wouldnt be surprised if they kept it til xmas 2008 for the sales

dperrone · 01-05-2008, 12:07 AM

I want it NOW

Sean4000 · 01-05-2008, 12:08 AM

Finally, if Dreamworks goes Blu we can get Galaxy Quest! One of my all time favorites!

Sonny · 01-05-2008, 12:06 AM

I think it all depends on what happens with WB. & the fact is Paramount is in a contract for 18 months supposedly, how many months has it been so far ?? Transformers AVC with PCM would definitely be in my Blu-ray collection, as it was in HDDVD with VC-1 & DD+ but seeing it like that there was definitely alot to be desired with PQ & AQ & AVC/PCM could fix that right up

For those that missed the humor in this, Max is one of the few people who probably has a good idea under what conditions Paramount / Dreamworks can opt out of HD DVD - and thus probably a good idea when they might come back to releasing on Blu-ray.

Good catch, Max.

Mr. Spiffy-Pants · 01-05-2008, 09:06 AM

I voted for November of '08. I'm actually split 50/50 between this timeframe and some time in 2009. I doubt it will be any sooner because I think Paramount will clutch onto the sinking S.S. HD-DUD until the bitter end to try and save face.

jfcarbel · 01-05-2008, 09:38 AM

Hey somebody create a non-public poll so insiders can vote!

I can just about take bets it will be a timed release with Transformers 2. They will release it with the Blu-Ray of the sequel to guarantee the greatest interest

I agree with this too. Its either going to be ASAP after their back to blu-ray support announcement or wait til Transformers 2.

When is Transformers 2 due?

rub · 01-05-2008, 12:09 AM

I have boycotted Paramount since their stupid decision; however, if they go back to bluray, and it looks like they must, then I will end my boycott.

My guess is: July....probably the 1st of July.
