Light summer for Blu-ray?? - Blu-ray Forum

atdm71 · 06-10-2007, 08:44 PM

Is it me, or does the release schedule for Blu-ray (and probably HD DVD) look awfully light over the summer?? I'm thinking 300 is eagerly anticipated; and maybe the Fifth Element Remaster, but aside from these and Weeds Season 2, DAMN! I know, I know, Blu-ray's gotta win this thing before release titles really pick up steam. But Sony BMG's gotta truck load of good stuff they should be putting out, no?...

You are right besides the release of a few titles i.e. Remember The Titans, Vacancy, etc. (most of which don't come out until August or Sept) there really isn't too much on the horizon.

I think a lot of people are hoping its only because they are holding out for the fall/pre-holiday season.

i think you're right -- here's hoping the pipeline fills up a little for the fall, or maybe some announcements hit the wires over the next few weeks...

Yeah, you know there is a lack in product when I can go to the story and not find anything to spend my money on

At least we know companies aren't abandoning Blu-ray, whereas such a drought on HD-DUD would probably mean just that

chrisshea · 06-10-2007, 10:09 PM

You're right. This is unacceptable! It looks that they are not in a hurry to win the format war. I have posted this several times: We need many more classic titles!!!

The studios are just giving us a break and trying help us by letting us save some money and interest. Lol.

You know... For all the new releases for winter Q4. Spiderman Trilogy, Matrix Trilogy (just the first one please), LOTR (hey, you can only dream, no?), etc.

degas · 06-11-2007, 12:47 PM

They want you to get frustrated...and thus buying all those titles you thought you'd pass on.

u_nick · 06-11-2007, 01:00 PM

Plenty coming out that I want.

Summer usually is a "light" time across the boards for any number of ventures.

ryoohki · 06-11-2007, 03:22 PM

Well i know that i'll get :

Ghost Rider (YES... YES I KNOW.. but still.. LOL)
Cruel Intention (big SMG fan here)
Patriot
WildThings
300
Weeds :S2
5th Element : Remaster
Bridge to Terebithia
The Host
Flatliner

NL: Van Vilmer
Face OFF
FF : Spirit Within
Jailhouse Rock (not sure)

That's from Today to September

In a way I'm glad it's a little slow. It gives me a chance as a new blu adopter to pick up some titles already available, and actually save a little for the holiday releases cuz I'm pretty sure there will be plenty to buy!! I'll apologize to friends and family right now when they don't find any presents under their trees from me this year! Movies first!!!!

zombieking · 06-11-2007, 08:16 PM

and 300 will pull me through the summer...
