Hey, why did Penton capitalize the "M" and "C" in More to Come? Hmmm.. MCA is owned by Universal!!!

I don't know how you guys do it, but you are too good.

mystiksuicide · 02-11-2008, 11:35 PM

I will take a leap and say Universal!!!

I sure hope so. Penton thanks again. Can anyone say Jurassic Park? I can, lol

MC is the NYSE ticker for Matsushita. Maybe Panasonic has something for us. ???

Never can tell how much code he's giving us! lol

Could mean cc,target and something else starting with M. Perhaps I read into it too much though.

Now THAT would make a true BLU Monday.

And penton-man replied the post about promotion, so I guess the "more to come" is about promotion or slash prices. It is good to hear.

I obviously don't know any details (especially around contracts and such), but the more I think about this, I'm thinking the "delay" (from previous expectations/hints of a timeline) with regards to Paramount and/or Universal announcing for BD is for one major reason. That is, the more this "positive BD news" snowballs, the more likely it is that P & U won't announce "going nuetral", but rather they may be "waiting" to go straight to BD exclusivity. Why have yourself in the position of going neutral one month, and then a few months later going BD exclusive.

Think about it...

What Dreams May Come ... is Universal...and that would make this a dream week..

Thanks for the heads up but I must say I can't stand the way you tease. It leaves me wanting more.

Have we told you lately how much we love having you here, P-Man?

If we haven't, then it bears repeating. We love our insiders!

Well, I didn’t necessarily mean today.
The intent was to try to pull off a Valentine’s Week Massacre but, I just don’t know if the logistics are in place for more forthcoming announcements in that exact time period.

We’re trying.

Penton,

I know this question treads on dangerous ground, but Im curious. So Ill ask it this way.

Lets say I was a movie studio and I had today decided that I was going to put my films on the bluray format. Lets assume that I already had an HD Master of the film and all my audio and menu were complete.

How long would it take for me to get my film in stores?

This has NOTHING to do with WHEN Universal or Paramount make a decision. I know you cant go there, but I am curious is that IF they decided to go back to bluray whats a reasonable amount of time that they could get their first disc into consumer hands?

Again, Im not asking for hints about Paramount and Universal's doings behind the scenes. It should be quite obvious what they are doing.

Hopefully this question wont get me in too much trouble.
