Will the Transformers BD release have much significance? - Blu-ray Forum

superdynamite · 05-19-2008, 12:31 AM

I am guilty of being one who has fought the good fight, the Blu fight, the PS3 fight, since late 2006. Beaten & Battered, and with one HiDef format left on the side of the technology super-highway like a heap of digital roadkill, I still can't help but find myself feeling as though life will not be complete until HD-DVD deciples witness the Blu-ray release of their crown jewel; Paramount's Mega-hit, Transformers.

The movie that Microsoft gambled their entire HiDef existence on and lost is still left with no BD release date. I feel that once Transformers is released on Blu-ray, we can all put the Hi Def war fiasco behind us and get on with our lives once and for all.

I need this. We need this. Optimus Prime needs this.

I feel the same way. I need it. It will be like a trophy.

I am really looking foward to adding this movie to my BD collection. However, there have been dozens of threads and thousands of posts on the subject. At this point I have buried Transformers in the back of my mind, and won't even think about a Blu-ray release until I see an announcement.

I think Paramount is trying to keep the agreement with microsoft so they don't have to return the $150,000,000

bring It, I've Been Yearning, Craving And Highly Anticipating Ur Release. Feed Me Robots!!!

MotionJuice · 05-19-2008, 12:41 AM

Great post! This is completely different angle of thinking.

I think Paramount feels the same way. They'll feel like it's release on bluray will get thrown back in their face.

haha i like the trophy idea. But of course, everyone will look forward to finally getting this one

BStecke · 05-19-2008, 12:56 AM

They could at least put the extended imax version out. Otherwise . . . I'll buy this, but I'm not losing sleep over it. It wasn't the best movie.

just an extended cut that was released in IMAX featuring two extra minutes of dialog.

u_nick · 05-19-2008, 01:01 AM

I loved the movie, but I dont think it will be a significant release. The 'hi def war' is over. period. all studios are releasing blu, and none are releasing hddvd anymore.

DetroitSportsFan · 05-19-2008, 01:08 AM

It will be significant because it will sell a ton of copies.

Joon · 05-19-2008, 01:13 AM

I to am anxiously waiting the arrival of this movie on blu-ray. I wish Paramount would just announce it and get it over with.

Lucy Diamond · 05-19-2008, 01:16 AM

Someone one gave me Fast and Furious on HD DVD as a joke the other day.

I use it as a coaster.

I'm going to buy an extra copy of Transformers to keep in MahPants.

the blu-ray release of transformers will be very significant. Every corporation that supported the hd-dvd format was relying on this one single movie for a format war victory.

this will be the final kick in the ass. like peeing on the hd-dvd grave.
