Universal slowing down upcoming releases for HD - sign for exclusive Blu-ray?

[Moretonbay]

Okay-I know some people might think doing this was pointless- but I found the whole thing rather interesting while I was doing it. Universal has a 3 week timer left on their deal with HD - there has been an obvious downward trend in what they have been releasing on HD and what is coming up for release - Could this be a possible sign of an upcoming Exclusive Deal With Blu-Ray? One can only hope!

I'm not getting my hopes up, but I would love Blu copies of the Bourne movies.

[Blu Titan]

Of all the Universal movies mentioned above, The Bourne Ultimatum is the one I would like to own the most.

[Moretonbay]

Me too- for all the support they have given to HD there really hasn't been a lot of quality movies they have released.

[Moretonbay]

Do you think they are going to sign another deal with HD - it just doesn't seem logical given the 2-1 ratio that blu-ray constantly has over HD.

I hope not, however, you know money talks. BTW, how do you know their deal expires in 3 weeks?

[mfinochio]

I hope they release blu, I want the Bourne trilogy and Serenity. Time will tell

Woah woah woah Battlestar definitely numero uno for my choice if Universal went to Blu Ray That show is freaking amazing.

[Mote]

I think it's slowing down because, honestly, Universal has no new releases to show for this year.

Yeah, that one stings more than all the rest combined. Awesome show!

It's fun to think about, it truly is, but I'm very skeptical about this idea as well. I'm about to make this comment, but please don't take my word or think anything about it. I just keep remembering P-Man's words about talks happening behind the scenes. But again, truly fun to think about.

Thanks for doing that legwork. It is interesting. However, Penton Man has said Universal is not going neutral for a while. I think given what happened yesterday, people really need to listen to Penton Man.

I do think Universal could go neutral around this time in 2008 at the earliest. I do think a lot depends on what Warner Bros. does early next year.

I think given what happened yesterday, people really need to stop listening to what other people say lol..

[Blu As Hell]

I believe Universal going exclusive/neutral when I see an official press release and a Bourne Ultimatum Blu-ray on the store shelves.

interestin post you got there.... i want "elizabeth". It seems that they are slowing down, while other studio has more releases

[HK-48]
