Braveheart vs. Gladiator 9/1/09 and Sapphire SE - Blu-ray Forum

aggienader08 · 06-24-2009, 08:07 PM

With Paramount announcing 2 of their biggest titles to come out on blu on the same day, I thought I'd ask whose getting which or both?

I know there are a lot of threads out there about this already, so I'll throw in another question: What is this Sapphire Special Edition. Is it just another name to add to the packaging to milk us for more money, i.e. a gimmick? or is it legitimate superior quality?

Don't we have enough discussions going on about these two titles? I don't think we need yet another thread.

Sapphire is just a name they have chosen, just like Disney does with Platinum, etc

Deadset · 06-24-2009, 08:11 PM

It's officially time for an official thread...

Same here!

mugupo · 06-24-2009, 08:20 PM

I will get both, but not day 1 release, since they are pretty price. I would get them if they are around $15 price range each.

Why is Paramount doing DTS MA on Gladiator and True HD on Braveheart.

P@t_Mtl · 06-24-2009, 08:28 PM

Missing a fourth option....

I won't be purchasing neither one of them

Why add an unnecessary option?

for people that have the means to play blu-rays....these titles will be huge sellers. 2 epic releases at 1 time will be huge. Great for the format and for us high def junkies.

I am happy they are releasing both, these are the movies needed to make BD serious in the market and I know they will very likely look and sound great.

Why would those people want to participate in this thread and poll? Seems odd.

I'll be buying both on release day, which I don't often do.

Sorry, I guess I just thought that people who weren't interested in purchasing either (not neither) of the movies would not want to participate in the poll.
