Matrix

[Forresttheman]

Why the heck do the HD-DVD folks get the Matrix? Isn't that a warner picture? If so should it not come out for BD as well???
does not make since.

Warners is waiting for Blu-Ray with java support so the movies can have picture in picture.

At least, that's what they're saying. We know PiP is possible, because Dragon's Lair has it. They want the profit margin we are giving them, but don't want to do much work for it. They are working backwards. They are giving the most support to the ones that give them the least amount of revenue.

is this bad news for Blu-Ray? I mean The Matrix series is really popular

The date tells all. On the date Disney drops two of the biggest BD exclusive titles, Warner felt compelled to release two versions of a compensating HD DVD exclusive.

It could have been released any time. To go up against Pirates deliberately was an insult to Disney and all BD supporters.

You have to buy all the movies...its not like you can buy just The Matrix.
Amazon currently has both POTC movies at 117 and 137 with The Matrix complete at 576 and the Matrix ultimate at 511.


This will hurt the impact that POTC would have had...but as you can see...POTC will still have a major impact on sales.

Typically hd dvd sells less in stores percentage wise then it does at Amazon..which means POTC will probably still outsell The Matrix.

A lot of people will just wait for it on BD also.

Don't know... nothing official as of yet....probably in the fall....or at least before the holidays is my guess.
There are plenty of other titles coming on BD in the mean time that will not be on hd dvd to keep us occupied until then.

Whoa, no way! Without a doubt, The Matrix made the top 3 list of movies that I want as a part of my Blu-ray collection. So this crap that WB is pulling is pissing me off!
