300 on Blu Ray?

[ctapgoy]

I know this is a little early to ask since the movie is still in theaters...but does anyone if 300 will be on Blu Ray? That'll be awesome.

[Gerasimos]

Considering there was a downloadable HD trailer for 300 on the Playstation Store, I would imagine that it would come out on Blu-Ray.

It's a Warners film, so it will be on Blu-ray. The target audience for that movie is the target audience for the PS3 and other HD equipment. The only problem would be if BD-J and PiP aren't yet ready, which means it would be held back like Batman, V, Matrix, etc. I would say this would be on DVD mid to late summer, so hopefully those features will be good to go by then.

This movie murders....what an excellent job by Frank Miller. I'm assuming this won't be released late summer (august/september) it will be a def. purchase for my collection

My release date guess is going off of other movies released around this time. V for Vendetta debuted in theaters on March 17th and was on DVD on August 1st. I got those dates from videoeta.com. Sin City was April 1st and August 16th, so it could be late July, it will depend on the theater run and what extras they put on the release.

can't wait till it comes on blu-ray. i swear watching movies on the ps3 and hd tv is better than watching 'em in the theaters. my tv is clearer and nicer.

I think I've seen this discussed over on AVS and from what I remember, people were saying it was slated for THD sometime soon.

As much as I want this movie, I'll pass until HD-DVD ( and THD ) die off and I can get it on a pure BR disc. I'm sure I'll rent it on THD but there's no way I'll have THD in my collection.

That's what my friends say when they see it. "Dude, this is better than the theater!"

Also, I could see Warners using a title like this, which is sure to sell, to try and get THD to catch on, but I wouldn't touch it w/ an HD-DVD supporter's hand, I'm just not that mean.

I guess you didn't watch it in IMAX?

[Gremal]

Can't wait.

The PiP stuff is rumored to be showing the same scenes with the actors and the green screen in the little box while the finished stuff on the main screen.

So, based on Warner's past history, either they get rid of the PiP stuff for BR or they will delay it just like all the other movies only out on HD DVD.

I don't care myself, I just want the best picture and sound format, f' the extras.

Sin City and 300 are both on my top 10 all time movie list.. maybe top 5.

That will be the best BD movie to date when released..

CAN'T WAIT!

Same here, just want the movie. But how do you know the PiP stuff won't be ready by August, or around that time? Just asking, since that's what we're all waiting on from Warners (and maybe Fox now). I would really like for BDA to name even just a month that it should be ready.

You should use the standard setting (or maybe the Movie setting is the standard setting) and turn off any auto things and adjust the picture then, also check your sharpness setting, I advice setting it to minimnum and then increasing slowly tll movie starts to look focused, too much sharpness increases the visibility of grain or noise. (and.. after youve adjusted everything with all auto-things off, you can start turning auto things on (if you have them) and see if it really improves picture or not)

It's just much more noticable in hd because the increase in resolution exposes much more. Standard 480i and 480p resolution masked alot of the film grain because the image was blurrier.

So a set that his been on display for quite some time could show problems, not to mention that anyone can screw w/ the TV and BD player any way you want at BBuy. Going to another place is a good idea; you can also look for Sharp forums to find other owners of your set. I've got an LCoS TV (rear-projection), so I don't know how the flat planels look w/ BD, but like I said, I haven't had that problem, so look for threads for people w/ flat panels, or start your own to get specific help.

THANKS A LOT!!


I went over to Best Buy again and I exchanged my Monster 800 HDMI cable for the 1000. I haven't tried it out yet so I'll let you guys know how it went. The guy at the Magnolia section over at BB was an idiot and wasn't listening to my concern. He was telling me that my PS3 doesnt up-covert to HD I think he was thinking i was having problems playing standard DVDs which I repeadtly told him that wasn't the issue. anyway I'll try everything you guys suggested... Thanks!
