What movie format doesn't have so called "garbage" movies. Every movie you see on BD is also on DVD and some on VHS at one time.

There are also many successful box office block busters on all formats as well. BD included.

Not sure where you are going with this.

Garbage, as in why even release it on Blu Ray and charge people 25-35 bucks...

At least spend the valuable studio conversion time on releasing proper films at a higher percentage.

True, not all studios have relesed titles with top encodes available to them. This is changing in relation to the early adaptor growth syndrome by consumers and the industry alike. Even BD players are also catching up to these aspects. Nothing is 100% in sink, in order or standadized yet. These things take time.

I remember as an early DVD adaptor. Movies cost $25 to $40 bucks when they were first being released. And that was in 1997's money. Much more by today's comparison.

You remember incorrectly. The very first DVD titles (from Warner, New Line, MGM/UA, etc.) were MSRP $19.95 to $24.95 in 1997 money, even in the initial test markets. The price didn't change when they expanded to nationwide distribution later in the year.

If I were a girl... possibly.

But last time I checked (bathroom trip about 15 min ago) I had a penis.

I suppose you didnt go to highschool with scene girls. Attractive... but cold cold *****es.

Its quiet, because there is no one left to fight. HD-DVD is dead, so now its just Bluray. The best part for me is knowing now that my favorite movies will definitely be coming out for Bluray, I just have to check on when.

OokieSpookie · 02-24-2008, 02:27 AM

I wonder if dvd owners sit around and say "gosh, the dvd scene is so quiet".
I think those are up there with the ones that say "gosh there are some junk titles out there on dvd aren't there?"

Maybe you could start a secret "members only" area to discuss it.

This is how it always is this time of year. There won't be anything big until summer

Just around the corner! The second quarter of 08 and beyond will be stunning for BD releases!

pokerface · 02-24-2008, 02:36 AM

Its quiet so you can hear the money in our wallets screming to see light, Blu light.

coachD · 02-24-2008, 03:13 AM

I don't know about you, but I went hog-wild in January, picking up 14 titles in one month! So far in February I have slowed down some, only 7 BR titles so far this month (still trying to find Run Lola Run).

March was expected to be a big BR month even before Paramount and Universal went Blu.

I plan on getting: No Country for Old Men, ID4, Predator, I am Legend, and I, Robot. Plus one or two others.

quaylie · 02-24-2008, 03:14 AM

I loved the war..but i'm gonna stick around..great information on here.

Chaka · 02-24-2008, 04:04 AM

There was a war?

Picked up four movies today and I even payed close to retail. Best Buy selection was horrible. Everything was picked over and the most exciting thing I got was Warriors.

Yeah it is quiet but I expect some exciting releases coming this year so not really complaining.

Big Daddy · 02-24-2008, 04:21 AM

If a movie is garbage, it is the fault of the director, actors, writers, producers, and the studio that made it and not the fault of the Blu Ray technology. Eventually, all movies (bad & good) will be released in Blu Ray.

Obviously, studios are in the business of making money. It is understandable that they want to wait on their better quality assets for the market to develop more fully. In 1997, most of the initial DVD releases were in the so called "garbage" category. By now, almost all movies are available on DVD. Taking the format war into consideration, Blu Ray releases are way ahead of DVD releases.

Make a list of all of the Blu-Rays you own. Let's see what you got.
