Just bought Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets on BluRay the other day!

The movie is fantastic and the visual fidelity is beyond what I expected, but....

I can't help but feel that this is just a cash grab. The movie just came out a year ago on DVD, there really was no reason to re-release this movie. I mean, sure, I understand that this is one of the biggest franchises of all time, but there's a new movie coming out next year, prisoner of azkeban. If it were me, I would say wait some time on porting the series over to HD.

And that's my VGC opinion.

... Pretty sure these films came out ages ago, I bought the boxset on bluray a couple of years ago o.O

wait for it....

No. With the xb1 here now, we have two consoles running bluray, so that is a recent growth factor, not one years old. Aldo, as to your original point about low priced/crap movies that are on bluray now that is actually a sign of success, bx when the format matures, it will pay off to have the low revenue titles in blu.

Woosh.


My e-peen will always be bigger.  It's a character flaw if anything haha

Yeah. There was really no point. Jurassic Park is my favorite movie of all time and it was just fine being on VHS. Bringing movies over to DVD was stupid.

I think what he means is that you're completely missing the point.

I think that badgenome cares more about making people laugh and producing comedy and laughter than being right.

No, physical formats are in decline. On-demand services are growing. They're also on PS4, X1 and Wii U and 7th gen consoles.


Almost true. Physical formats except for bluray are declining.  And more and more money and resources are being shifted to the format, I follow the film industry and see news about this regularly.  

Right, but Blu-ray grows only slowly and DVD is in fast decline. On-demand services are growing very fast. You can't expect fast growth of Blu-ray, it won't compensate the DVD losses.



mind on 22 April 2014

physical formats are in decline. On-demand services are growing.

Where the fuck is this coming from? HG:CF and Frozen are having record sales.

No On-demand service can offer Blu-ray like quality, except Sony 4K one(and that says it all).
