Dissapointed by Blu-ray support in Aus

[gamer4eva]

I went down at my local store (JB hi-fi) and looked at the movies availible over there and i was dissapointed by the blu-ray section compared to the HD-DUD section on one side i saw all catalogue titles compared to the latest releases on the HD-DUD side they had movies like knocked up and other day and date DVD titles from universal and paramount while BD only had The Simpsons Movie which was the latest one and pirates 1&2 and a few other catalogue titles which wouldn't seem that impressive to a person looking forward to adopt Blu-Ray

Now u guys must be thinking that this is the stores fault for not storing the latest titles but Blu-Ray movies arrive delayed compared to when the DVD is released for eg Pirates 3 DVD was released 18 nov and the BD is coming next week and fantastic 4 was released like start of nov and the BD is gonna come this week which basically means that movie fans would've got the DVD as soon as they arrived and wont wait or wanna double dip therefore not a lot of BD's will be sold

And the title range isnt that wide compared to what ppl get in the USa while HD-DUD has almost got all the major titles over here except for matrix

And the studio support isnt that gr8 either Lionsgate and MGM dont release ANY titles in this part of the world and warner titles have no release dates on their movies except for a few selected ones which have been out for a while and the HP movies which are coming next week
So far only 3 studios are running the Blu-Ray bandwagon over her Sony disney which are consistant in giving us the same movies as the US and fox do thier part by giving the new releases and giving the catalogue titles 2-3 months after USA

All iam trying to say is the holiday shopping season already here and when ppl try and buy one of these new formats the HD-DUD side of movies will look more appealing to a normal consumer than the blu-ray movies
