Is Blades of Glory getting advertised? - Blu-ray Forum

CptGreedle · 08-23-2007, 03:45 PM

With the recent news of Paramount going HD-DVD exclusive, and the official pulling of all unreleased Blu-ray discs followed by the sudden stop in existing titles... I would expect more HD-DVD promotions.
And yet, despite all the publicity, I have heard nothing from Paramount in regards to ads for HD-DVDs.
In fact, the most recent one that was suppose to be dual released, Blades of Glory, is now HD-DVD exclusive and yet, every advertisement I have seen for it, whether it be in a magazine, online, or on TV, does NOT advertise it on HD-DVD.
Every 300 commercial I saw mentioned Blu-ray and HD-DVD as well as DVD, but so far, Blades of glory is only advertised as being on "DVD".
Is it just me or maybe Paramount is trying to play down the change?

Nah I just think the deal happened too fast.

Interesting, I just checked my blockbuster online rental queue, and BOG is still listed to release next week on blu-ray.

Edit: Just checked my queue (Sat 8/25), and looks like blockbuster finally yanked it.

Was this movie any good? I haven't seen it yet.

It was funny. Nothing I would kill to own in HD, but at least worth a DVD rental.

I saw the old commercial on TV last night, but tehy lopped of the last few seconds where it said "Also available on BluRay and HD DVD". Instead it just ended abruptly after DVD.

I thought is was lame - dont even want to rent it - Talledega was 3 times as good, and that movie was just ok. Definitely dont compare it to SUPERBAD! Hilarious
