Thread: Dark Knight = Blu ray uber sales anyone?

I think if they spend enough money with BD, like purchase a BD player and get the free DARK KNIGHT movie in BD, that would be a nice treat.

Honestly, I think the sales for BD will jump to another level when Dark Knight is released on BD, same thing goes for Hancock and possibly Indiana Jones.

I dont think they'll do that, enough people will pay full MSRP to discourage a promotion involving it. I think Iron Man has a good shot to do as good on Blu-Ray as all that you mentioned.

We won't be getting Indy 4, as the consensus in this household is that it was awful.

As well as the older Batman Begins just sold on BD, I doubt we'll get much of a deal. It'll sell gangbusters anyways.

Judging by the Tomatometer, Dark Knight is going to be one of the best movies of the year.
What makes it even more special, RT tends to bias towards animated features (6 over the last 10 years had animated
as the best movie of the year: Toy Story 2, Chicken Run, Monster Inc, Nemo, Incredibles and Ratatouille).

I don't think including the BD version of it with a BD player would be a good idea.
But the again, I thought the same about Casino Royale and it was included (at least for a while) with the PS3.

BTW, to continue the tradition Sony might include "Quantum of Solace" with the next update of the PS3.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think that offering 1 free movie is going to particularly entice people to buy a Blu Ray player, even if it is one like "The Dark Knight" (Which I hope to see this weekend at IMAX.) Maybe if they offered like 6 movies for free that would entice people (of course it had varying levels of success with HD-DVD.)

After seeing it this weekend, Ill be ordering it on preorder.

The retailers have to realize that NOW is the time to bring the pricing into line or they will get bypassed.

Microsoft announced an arrangement with NetFlix where movies in your queue will be streamed to your XBox. This goes with their already "HD" downloads (not quite when the size of the files are only 3 GB) There are more and more assaults on physical media's dominance coming and they NEED to start playing for keeps or BluRay will die.

Blu-ray has far superior PQ & AQ than those 3GB downloads you mention. That alone will help further Blu.

And as shown almost 2 years ago, there is hardly any difference for any but the most picky viewer.
