We need to support Warner - Blu-ray Forum

Gamma_Winstead · 08-20-2007, 10:02 PM

No doubt 300 was a big factor in them staying neutral but we NEED to keep supporting them. Pick up a movie from them on the day of the BUY-A-THON.

If they stay neutral for a while and then another movie that does as good as 300 might convince them to go Blu exclusive... I hope

E-Dogg · 08-20-2007, 10:03 PM

I plan on supporting them. I am buying Training Day on the 31st of this months since it's pay day lol. Too much $ already spent on Blu-Ray movies.

Why, so they can shit on us too? It's pretty clear now that MS money is the deciding factor in this war, not the wishes of the consumer.

what Warner movies are out or coming out on BD?

eRICH · 08-20-2007, 10:06 PM

I think through the Holidays Warner will see the advantage of seeling BLU. Think how big 300 was, Warner will be coming out with the Harry Potter Box sets and I think this will be bigger than 300. I think Warner knows that BLU is the way to go!

How about:

Blade Runner 5 disc Complete and Ultimate editions
Five Kubrick films (2001, A ClockWork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Eyes Wide Shut)
Oceans 11, 12 and 13
Harry Potter 1-5

All of those are purchases for me.

We have to really support the studios that do give us movies on blu-ray even more now. The only thing these big companies understand is CA$H, so Paramount/Dreamworks has to feel this in their pockets. Don't buy their DVD's no matter what, don't rent them and don't support them period!!!!

Gamma_Winstead · 08-20-2007, 10:32 PM

bump.

and to clownface, Good job! Warner needs us! If we can get them to be Blu exclusive that means game over for HD-DUD

coolmilo · 08-20-2007, 10:39 PM

I just wish that Warner would announce Batman Begins and the Matrix on Blu-ray to help the Paramount blow. Yes the Fox news really helps, but we also need Sony, Disney, and Warner to bring out the big guns. Hey Pixar, how about fast tracking The Incredibles? Hey Sony, how about a Christmas release of Superbad? Hey Fox, how about fast tracking The Simpsons movie? I feel like I woke up from a bad dream today.

Absolutely. Distributer need to know that we are willingto spend the money or they will go to the highest briber

KenThompson · 08-20-2007, 11:12 PM

To bad Sony couldn't just buy Warner and shut the Dud out. Forget pay offs, actually owning a 2nd studio would finish the war. Failing to buy said studio, how much to pay off Warner and swing the playing field back in our favor.

JTK · 08-20-2007, 11:18 PM

Y'know...if I had placed any bets in Vegas this morning on who would go HD-DVD exclusive, it would have been Warner way before Paramount.

I still wouldn't be surprised if Warner ends up going exclusive to HD-DVD and possibly in time for the holidays, but OF COURSE I certainly hope not.

Well, perhaps everyone should pre-order EVERYTHING Warner has to offer until the end of the year. You can always cancel before it ships. But, let's see them reject that business directly.

rondanto · 08-20-2007, 11:26 PM

Warner does have some older titles that are exclusive to HDDVD --"Adventures of Robin Hood " "Casablanca " etc,,Hope these and titles like "Ben Hur ", "King of Kings" and "Doctor Zhivago" make their way to Blu Ray

Don't acquiesce to defeat so quickly, dude. M$ "may push us around, but we'll rise again." - Offspring.

Blu-ray still has a substantial lead in sales since inception, weekly sales tendencies, installed userbase, and of course, vastly superior disc space.

We're gonna bite back and bring these ___s down.

As for Warner; I plan on getting Harry Potter this year. And once they're more official, I'll get Batman Begins, V for Vendetta, and Matrix Trilogy. Also getting Troy and possibly Blade Runner. Paramount may have sold us out, but my instinct is that Warner won't. Billionaire Ted has less need for bribes.
