300 July 31st - Blu-ray Forum

kaliraver · 05-31-2007, 07:06 PM

Well thanks to WB Blu-Ray will get less features on the 300 BD disc compared to the HD-DUD one. They are obviously getting the PIP why I personally don't care to much about. Also these features:

* PICK YOUR FAVORITE SCENES: Assemble Your Favorite Clips and Create Your Own Montage
* WEB-ENABLED FEATURES: Cool Mobile Downloads

I am getting sick and tired of the WB short changing BD movies and giving some of the extra goodies to the DUD. I wonder if some of you here feel the same way about WB? I sure hope they get their act together. BTW this info came from IGN and they listed these things that will be included in the BD release:

* The Blu-ray disc features the following special features:
* ADDITIONAL SCENES of the Traitorous Hunchback and Never-Before-Seen Giant Warriors [in High Definition]
* FRANK MILLER's Vision Realized on Film [in High Definition]
* 300 SPARTANS - FACT OR FICTION?: The Shocking Life of a Spartan Revealed [in High Definition]
* WHO WERE THE SPARTANS?: How the Actors Built Their Characters Based on Spartan Customs [in High Definition]
* WEBISODES: Go on Set with the Cast and Crew
* COMMENTARY by Director Zack Snyder - and MORE!

If a large number of people feel this way - the best thing to do - is make ourselves heard. Letters, petitions - anything and everything should be done to make Warner and other Short-Change studios realize that the BD community will NOT accept sloppy seconds!

Unless that is done, there is no sense starting thread upon thread about WB and UNI

Don't really care as features are junk to me....I just want the movie in a BD encode with LPCM....

Blu Tiger · 05-31-2007, 08:56 PM

Not really interested in those extra's anyways. How does the audio differ, if at all?

Shin-Ra · 05-31-2007, 09:13 PM

I'll buy a proper BD encode, whenever that may be released.

ProvenFlipper · 05-31-2007, 09:15 PM

I could care less about any PiP or special features, all I want is lossless audio and a great picture.

Yep, lossless audio and great video are essential. The rest is in the "nice to have" category.

slazier, jave is already enabled and going. that isn't the problem. the problem is pip because players currently do not have a secondary tuner.

indeed supposed to be a standard by october I believe

Frankly that is stuff I couldn't care less about; where BD is really getting short changed is when it gets the same low bitrate encode that they put on HD-DVD.

I concur...completely..

VC-1 just pales in comparison to AVC IMO..

jubaiweaponx · 05-31-2007, 08:38 PM

As long as it doesn`t just a fugly hddvd port over/transfer i`ll take it ,just give me a good encode and sound and some features ,granted to quote another members sig" content is key", but am I gonna be watching another smaller screen when mad spartans are kicking persians and whoever else into the abyss I highly doubt it ,gimmie great picture and sound so I can hear it and feel it on the best format (being BD) and i`m happy ,granted being the best format it should have the best encode and the best sound ,especially on a movie of this magnatude!

anything less should definitely hear an angry voice from the masses

There ya go.

And when that happens, you get HD-DVD fanboys harping on you with stuff like: "How can you say that BD is the better format?" etc. etc.
