CC has a Universal Blu-ray display? - Blu-ray Forum

Gamma_Winstead · 09-11-2007, 11:29 PM

so
I went to circuit city to pick up World trade center when I stopped to look at the Blu sampler thing.... It showed scenes from sin City and Batman and I thought COOL! then it showed a list of supporting studios and it listed UNIVERSAL!!!!! It played some clips from movies and it showed the scene from knocked up where Seth Rogens person gets stuck in the house and he is throwing the doll around saying "fetch!" to the little girl and a scene from the Bourne Supremecy! Where matt looks up from the sniper rifle.... I was like WTF is going on! could this be a sign of things to come? or a strange mistake?

well if HD dvd has pirates and chicken little then yeah! maybe it was like a "list of all Hd movies" or something...

woah, VERY interesting... this could be great news!

Its Blu Karma........Universal is thinking........Reasoning........Going Blu?????

It makes sense for Universal to support Blu-Ray.

Well, if HD DVD's exclusivity deals are anything like the Paramount/Dreamworks 18 month deal they just made, then the Universal one is set to expire in October of 2007. Who knows, Bourne Trilogy on Blu this Christmas anyone?

It wouldn't be too far-fetched then.

I saw the same thing on a Blu-ray display demo disk at Costco. I also did a double take. But right now I am not putting much into it.

Patranus · 09-11-2007, 11:42 PM

I may have to roll my ass into one on my way home from work...that is if i actually start working....

stockstar1138 · 09-11-2007, 11:44 PM

Blu-dock Saint · 09-11-2007, 11:48 PM

I'm not going to get my hopes up, I dont want to be dissapointed if this was just a mistake.

Patranus · 09-11-2007, 11:49 PM

Please report when you get back if you could. Trying not to get excited but its hard when its being reported more than once.

i was in best buy today too and seen them playing a demo on their blu showcase and i seen a clip of the new version of willy wonka(depp) which is hddvd as of right now. i thought that was weird too.

jctash · 09-11-2007, 11:55 PM

I've seen this before. Best buy has a video showing Pirates in HD-DVD, so I wouldn't get to excited. The demo may have just been an upscaled dvd

yes, but under supporting studios it said universal, however it could be universal music and then an upscaled dvd.

ReduxInflux · 09-12-2007, 12:07 AM

although i'm super skeptical, that would be awesome. but my gut tells me it was a mistake. i hope i'm wrong. regardless, i'm not sure who made this (it was someone from here) but i think it's appropriate
