The Polar Express - Blu-ray Forum

ReduxInflux · 10-31-2007, 08:58 AM

I'm very curious to see how well this sells on Blu. Can someone dig up the total number of HD-DVD units sold for this title? Since its release date? I ask because I'm thinking we might blow that number out of the water in the next couple of months...and give Warner further incentive to drop HD DVD....

I'd like to know as well. I picked up Polar Express yesterday at Best Buy on Blu-ray.

well with exactly one days worth of sales under its belt, probably not a whole lot. Might want to give it a week before anyone will know.

I already bought it for my daughter on DVD, I'm not spending that much money on it again so she can watch it on one tv. I'm sure it looks great in HD though.

If I'm gonna order a Blu-ray online I buy from Amazon because there prices are good and they process your order and ship out extremely fast. If you order an instock item it will ship out that day if ordered before a certain time.

I had pre-ordered mine from moretonbayblu-ray.com and received it Monday in the mail. It looks fantastic in HD.

mystiksuicide · 10-31-2007, 02:00 PM

We bought it yesterday at BB but don't want to watch just yet. Will wait till sometime after Thanksgiving when it feels more like Christmas. But the important thing is that we bought it already.

I think that is "stock" language they send out to everyone who still has anything pending. I've gotten one of those emails before and two days later had delivery of the video that was mentioned in the email.

I ended up watching it yesterday and really enjoyed it but I wish I had waited until closer to Christmas as well...or at least waited until it was colder outside. Oh well, it was still good and the PQ was really good.

BB already shipped it. I cancelled the Warner order. I had problems with them before but gave them another chance...never more.

doctorD · 10-31-2007, 08:59 PM

I picked it up yesterday at BB. I will probably wait until late November or early December to watch it.

darkpoet25 · 11-04-2007, 01:10 AM

Fry's has it for $18.99. I may go there and pick it up. Is it a good movie?
