FINALLY - Something from Universal

[gadgtfreek]

If they are getting stuff out in 2nd qtr, that should mean a Paramount announcement is soon and Id think we'd see movies from them sooner(seeing that Univ was the most behind in BD replication)

Wow, no boo birds. Here (BD30), that should tip off nonrev's radar so he can come in here and aimlessly bitch.

I cannot wait for them to get around to doing BSG on BD. Season one on HD-DVD was gorgeous, now need to buy again in BD.

 

[BlackHitachi]

I can't wait for AMERICAN GANGSTER and SCARFACE!:

 

[dlsnyder]

The need to re-release the Jurassic Park and Back To the Future series ASAP. Those never did make it to HD-DVD did they?

 

[gadgtfreek]

Id bet the last two seasons of BSG will be BD sooner than later.

You're double-dipping or just adding season 2, etc.?

Probably going to have to buy season 1 again. Want to lend it out to some relatives, cannot say get HD-DVD for season 1 and then BD for seasons 2-4.

 

[allargon]

That's an EXPENSIVE double dip! That thing was $100 MSRP with Toshiba's subsidies to Universal. If Universal's not getting BD subsidies, I don't want to think of the costs. Are they going to shoot for Paramount/Fox pricing?

Are you going to sell it now, since the price will drop once the Blu-Ray becomes available.

I could go for jurassic park 1, and all back to the futures!!!!

... If Universal's not getting BD subsidies, ...

I suspect those subsidies have dried up for everyone. Current agreements will likely run their course and not be renewed. Time to recoup losses and start making money. Nothing wrong with that, it should be expected.

JPs, Back to the Futures, all the Star Wars, Das Boot, both Starship Troopers - there's quite a few I'm eager to buy on BD. So eager, some I'll buy at full price as soon as they come out.

Oh well, this kind of entertainment ain't cheap - it's more of a hobby, and there are darn few cheap hobbies.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Agree with the hobby comment. I buy one to two new/old releases per week on average. Dont see me slowing down. Last weeks buy was AVP 2, this week its Golden Compass.

Ill be buying Hulk and Hellboy II, also Fast and Furious is they offer it.

Universal's Blu-ray audio plans revealed, DTS-HD Master Audio included

Listen up, audiophiles -- we know you've already pored over Universal's Blu-ray plans, but for those thirsting for more details in the world of audio, you've found your oasis. Sitting down with The Man Room, Universal made clear that its first wave of BD releases on July 22nd (all films from The Mummy franchise) would actually include Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS-HD Master Audio tracks. Yep, that means you'll be getting more than just a lackadaisical port should you snap these up on Blu-ray. The studio also mentioned that it was looking forward to DTS-HD MA becoming "the Blu-ray standard" at its headquarters, so we're hoping to see (er, hear) a lot more lossless from these guys in the near future.
