Blu-ray buy-a-thon - october 16th?

[yeslek]

theres already one on 18/09
i dont think many would be up for another so soon

but having another buy-a-thon day before xmas is a pretty good idea

I think it would be a great idea to have one on October 16th to offset Transformers, considering that should be a pretty big day for HD-DVD (unfortunately).

There are a few movies that come out in those first two weeks of October that would be worth getting on the 16th.

I was planning on holding off on the Starz/Anchor Bay releases until that week. Really it doesn't matter what DAY you buy them on, just as long as you buy the same sales week it is released. Plus there are some Fox titles that come out before that too.

[Iron Man]

We have some pretty good titles before October the 16th.

Well oddly enough, Surf's Up is at the top of my list for this one. If I have the money I'll probably pick up Edward Scissorhands, The Day After Tomorrow, Evil Dead II, Galapagos, and....like 3 or 4 others...dammit I'm going to be broke forever.

Honestly who cares if the losing format has it's day for a little while. Even the sun shines on a dog's ass once in a while. We have a steady stream of quality titles starting from the end of this month til December. Can the HD-DVD fanboys claim the same?

[Lord_Stewie]

honestly i think the date when spidey is released should be the buy-a-thon for bluray. FIRST OFF. save up enough money to buy all the titles you want. some of us should go ahead and buy 2 to 3 HDDVD films to return them later of the day you purchased them, and use a reason as such "inferior product, don't want anything to do with it. SHOW ME THE BD SECTION." or even return them a week later. this should show the HDDVD, that we are in this business seriously, and make a statement about it unified."hddvd stands for.....its not even worth my time and energy."

Hows about Nov 23, My birthday and all of you guys buy me a movie. Before I go bankrupt and start living on the streets, thanks.

some1 make a poll when they wanna have it after 2 weeks check the results and that'll be the month and later we'll pick the date according to the releases in that specific month

just my opinion but 16th oct doesn't sound that bad with all the releases in the weeks b4

[dobyblue]

I think we're all going to be buying a shiteload of movies around that time anyway.

[Blu-ray San]

I make sure to buy lots of BD's on 10/16

[bryaaaant]

Dammit.. This is getting expensive..

Bram Stoker's Dracula (Sony)
The Day After Tomorrow (Fox)
Galapagos (BBC)
RoboCop (MGM)

And that's only two weeks into October. Not to mention September too.. *sigh*

[ESUNintel]

...sounds expensive, but you can count me in for Oct. 16th. Anything for Blu-ray

[ESUNintel]

...We should focus on the Sept 18th one for now though. If not a lot of people on the forum are going to freak out and think there's a buy-a-thon like every month.
