Is anyone else bored now? - Blu-ray Forum

Pellaeon · 01-23-2008, 09:04 PM

I don’t know about anybody else but I am really bored with this Blu vs HD. The anticipation of the Warner defection was just so intense that everything we are hearing now is just so ho-hum.

1) Doesn’t look like Universal or Paramount are going to make a move anytime soon
2) No BIG announcements for BLU or HD titles made (i.e Indy Jones, Star Wars, LOTR)
3) No 2.0 player release date and price info

I guess it’s just the we have already received the big spoils.

Is this the calm before a big storm, or something we can expect for the next 6-8 months?

I know what you mean, I wish we could get the next big development to be excited about, but I guess patience will be required.

*sigh*

Nope. I'm looking forward to the releases coming out over the next few months.

I am kind of bored...but it seems to be a kind of calm before the storm...

I need the break financially, lol.

But there are still a few releases that excite me in the next two months...especially Life of Brian next week, so I'm happy.

I do miss the FUD... just a little... they're great laughs...

elwaylite · 01-23-2008, 09:20 PM

Ill be bored when Paramount and Universal go neutral. Until then, Im just irritated at the both of them.

DetroitSportsFan · 01-23-2008, 09:21 PM

More title announcements would be nice.

mystiksuicide · 01-23-2008, 09:23 PM

Your right but trust me the best is yet to come.

HighDefChief · 01-23-2008, 09:24 PM

Lord of the Rings announcement would rock. Even if it was just the theatrical versions. Those movies are made for quintuple dipping.

Nope! UPS just dropped off Nacho Libre, The Searchers, Saw IV, and The Gameplan. I have popcorn and beer. I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy my Blu experience and wait for the Reds to join the party.

The format war is a waste of time, but its over. I am bored with the choice of new title coming out, thats my biggest concern

Living Near Shamu · 01-23-2008, 09:26 PM

It is getting a little boring as I keep expecting big news. I guess the Warner news-type spoiled me a little

Well there are still dangers lurking around every corner...there's not been any big news for some days now, but I'm still eagerly anticipating a death blow. So maybe not bored, but definitely hopeful.

If the $299 PS3 rumors are true, that could indeed be the death blow you're anticipating.

PaulGo · 01-23-2008, 09:35 PM

Just think of it as the calm before the Blu storm.

But if you are bored now how will you feel when Universal and Paramount go Blu and Toshiba raises the Blu flag.

Whytewash · 01-23-2008, 09:38 PM

I have been pretty bored here ever since the Warner announcement... My posts have died down incredibly. I hope that there is something that comes soon to spark my interest again! Something just, monumental. Like Uni or Para comin over!

Agreed. I am probably more irritated about this format "war" now than before. Maybe thats it

The titles coming out are pretty good but they are just not something that I am waiting on pins and needles to see on BLU. Perhaps Batman Begins, Matrix and V (dates ???) are all movies I am anxious for...but LOTR, SW, Ind. Jones, Alien(s), are all in my mind a step above the norm.
