Bond uses Blu-ray!!! - Blu-ray Forum

yagami · 12-07-2007, 03:53 AM

Hi everyone, I was watching Casino Royale and at 28:35 into it Bond pops a Blu-ray disc into a Sony Blu-ray player to access the taped video of the hotel camera of the phone call. I thought it was cool.....

My fiance and I pointed that out to each other at the exact same time. You knew that Sony had to throw that in there, especially knowing as well as Casino Royale was going to do.

yeah... you'll also notice that every gadget used in the movie is a Sony. i.e. his vaio laptop and all the cell phones

Wow, For once Macbook is not being used in a movie. I could have sworn that all the movies that I see almost 98% of the characters in the movie use Mac.

Yup! And you shouid check out all the other Sony gizmos all through the flick.

Cheers,

Rup

I need to go back and look at it. I totally missed that part.

SlmShdy1 · 12-07-2007, 04:25 AM

I thought it was obvious.

Sony went a little too far with the Sony gadgets in Casino Royale... everything was blatantly Sony.

Bravias
Blu-ray
W810s/P990s/K790s for phones
etc.

Those are all excellent products (I love Sony Ericsson phones and their Bravia's are rather excellent), but it really stuck out more than usual on this movie. If you look for it most Sony Pictures movies use Sony products exclusively, but most of the time it isn't as noticeable.

With that said, I loved the movie.

lgans316 · 12-07-2007, 04:46 AM

However the loading time of the pre-recorded security footage is wrong. I mean come on it loads in 2-3 seconds. Was it like a custom made celebrity player ?

I loved it as well, but I also feel the Sony product placement bordered on criminal. I'm surprised they didn't make the producers change the name to CaSony Royale!

The first device shown is in the pre-title sequence the wonderful NW-HD5 As the villain opens the drawer of his desk you'll see it there.

I've had one of these since its European launch in June 2005. Absolutely stunning sound quality for a portable and a constant companion on my frequent business trips abroad. I hope its got a few years life left in it as I'd hate to opt for a smaller HDD on the latest NW's.

miokti · 12-07-2007, 06:08 PM

exactly... when the bad guys were looking at the news on a website, the ads on that site was one for Bravia... Sony might as well have tattooed their logo on Daniel Craig's forehead. I'm not complaining though...

Casino Royale--Sony Release on BluRay..You notice bluray player in movie?
Its amazing how much detail the bluray and my 65 inch screen can show. I noticed in 28.34 in the movie, the player we is using for the security camera CD/DVD is a bluray player. Thought that was a PLUG PLUG for SONY. GO SONY, lol

Anybody else catch it. If not pause it at 28.24 and u will see the bluray logo on the cd tray.

Yep, noticed it the second time. When I saw it in the theaters, I didn't even know what Blu-ray was.

Jokerboy649 · 12-12-2007, 03:55 AM

I noticed it the first time in the theater and kinda smirked. What security cams use High Def Blu-ray Discs?
