Still no sign of Fox? - Blu-ray Forum

The point is. To cite piracy as a reason to be paralized and NOT release anything is just dumb.

It represents such a small fraction, it is pointless to put everything on hold simply because a small % get "stolen". If that were true for everything, nothing would ever be accomplished. Why should Best Buy open a new store if 1% of all their stuff gets stolen? With Shrink (retail term for stolen or missing merchindice) as high as 1%, you would be an idiot to not open a store in a location that turns a profit on 99% of the rest of your stuff.

Look at Warner Bros. They sold 250k of the title 300. You can't tell me they didn't make some serious cash on that.

I'm sick of the argument that piracy is a reason for not producing a movie or anything else. Its a smoke screen if you ask me. It logically can't possible be the reason.
So my point is, What IS the reason? Why not? Its August. Fall Anouncements are mostly done by now. Fox is going to loose out on some serious revenue from those of us with cash to burn this holiday season. I personally plan on buying a lot of Blu-Ray movies as gifts for my friends. I know i'm not alone.

Its new, for all of us, and we love and want to enjoy it. Give us some titles to buy for god's sake.
