Blu Ray Is A Flop If PS3 Owners Dont Buy The Movies

http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=10145&Itemid=2

So did movie studies predict wrong that PS3 owners will buy movies. I mean HD-DVD jump ship to Blu Ray.

about 85% of blu ray players are PS3s. Sony needs to do a better job of selling standalone Bluray player and get ps3 owners to buy movies.

So PS3 owners, how many BR movies u have?

This is probably going to get locked.

About 20, this is excluding the 4 disc Planet Earth box set I just bought.

Who cares, face it, Toshiba and MS lost that battle.

I have easily 40+ BR movies and counting...kindredmachine

I don't even think they have 40 different Blue Ray movies out...I swear the catalog sucks. Where do you get them from? Link me I'll seriously buy some. I've checked amazon, best buy has maybe 15 different blue rays...that's all I've seen. I'm not paying 25$ for Meet the Parents.

I'm with the TC though. I brought this up the other day, nobody went for it.

Are you joking me? tyhey have over 300 blu-ray movies out. Go to BestBut or FRYS.

if they do the buy 2 get one free deal again but with an updated set of films then they'll start to sell, also when the price drops below £20 sales will increase but at a guess that will come when more can be shipped

i can remember when dvds first came out it was more or less the same - expensive machines expensive films poor catalogue

6 or something

Casino Royale
Talladega Nights
Revolver
Casino Royale
300
Planet Earth

I've only actually purchased the last two though. DVD's are simply much ****ing cheaper, and the PS3 does an excellent job at upscaling them. Don't really think higher resolution is worth more than twice the price. The movie has to be pretty special in some way or another for me to shell out for the bluray version. With that said I made the mistake of thinking 300 was gonna look awesome what with it being like 99% CGI and all.

What does your post or the attached article have to do...even remotely...with BR DVD sales. BR DVD sales are doing good enough that it killed HD-DVD and all the stores ditched HD-DVD as well.

All this article states is that PS3 sales are keeping standalone players sales down. Of COURSE! Stand alone BR players are more money than a PS3 and the PS3 also plays games. Even my Uncle bought a PS3 for BR because it was cheaper.

This whole thread should be locked.

at my local Best Buy we were goin in to buy some HDDVD's cuz we still have the player even though it failed so we could still get some movies for cheap we thought but the guy said that Sony made a deal with Best Buy not to sale HDDVD's anymore lol I was pissed

I rarely buy DVDs anymore ..... but once I get a nice HDTV I will be renting blu-ray movies at least. Blu-ray will start getting bigger once blu-ray stand alones come down in price and more people adopt the nicer TVs and get more educated about HD. In the meantime , most of the people that start using blu-ray will likely never go back to DVD when they have a choice.

Sony didn't make any deals with anyone. BestBuy made the choice themselves. A simple Google search takes two seconds and you will have the facts.

I have only 7 BR movies but when it's $29.99 compared to a $10.00 dollar DVD what do they expect? Sure, newly released DVDs can be up to 19.99 but they're usually 14.99 or 16.99 Blu Ray's come out at 29.99 and stay there. I buy Blu Rays on Ebay when I find a deal. copperheadfang

I'm Canadian, and even I can find BR cheaper than $29.99. Not all of them, granted, but places DO have sales and 2-for-1 deals all the time.

Huh? You bought Casino Royale twice? But yeah, buying a Blu-Ray movie that doesn't have many special effects isn't really worth the high price.

In fact, I'll even prove it.. 43 Blu-ray movies right here... I just took the picture... LOL kindredmachine

Why oh why do you buy stuff like AVPR? :(

well i have 8 blu-rays but i still need to buy no country, juno, michael clayton, and there will be blood. So that should bring it up to 12 and if sweeny todd and atonement would've came out in blu-ray i would've got them as well.

To go along with my 15 games on my ps3 on actually disc, and with some on PSN (GT5P).

I bought T2 on BluRay for 19.99 thats the cheapest they come. I could have got that dvd for 13 bucks. So 2 BluRays at the cheapest retail is 40.00 plus tax now were getting close to videogame prices. I'd much rather buy a game. Renting BluRays on Netflix is working well enough for me.

I only bought the last two in the list. Sony ran a promotion for early PS3 adopters, you got Casino Royale. I ended up getting it twice somehow.

Hell I live next to NYC, never going to that Best Buy again...

I have owned my ps3 for about 8 months and have yet to buy, or even watch, a single blue ray movie.

Edit: but I have not rented, purchased, or gone to a threatre in that time either. Not a movie fan.

In fact, I'll even prove it.. 43 Blu-ray movies right here... I just took the picture... LOL kindredmachine

Thats beautiful!! I may only have a little more than half that collection because I bought the DVD's of a lot of those movies. I'm jealous you have ID4 bluray though because that's one of my all time favorite movies and will probably be the only movie I want to upgrade from DVD to Bluray.

you confuse me..... all those BluRay movies and games but you *seem* to have one PS3 game......and of all PS3 games... Madden 08 the 30fps one.....but it doesn't seem like you have the 60fps one on the shelf....:| :D

By June 29, I would have 3 PS3 games, and 2 Blu-Ray films, one of them being BBC's Planet Earth Documentary.

At one point, the DVD format would drop out, and Blu-Ray will take over. HD-DVD has already lost, so it can only move in one direction.

Not everyone's got an HDTV just yet, so wait until most of N.A., Europe have HDTVs as the only available options on the market. When that time comes, Blu-Ray will blossom.

PSP107

I have 15 BDs. BDs having been selling more and more. Stand alone players will continue to drop in price. Also, what's the point of this thread?

I currently have 18 blu ray movies and will buy nothing but them from now on.Dilrod

Same. The only time I really don't buy BD is when it's a cartoon like Simpsons or something like that.

I got the spiderman 3 blu ray that came with the ps3. That and 4 games.

OBJECTION your Honor!

Relevance?

This is system wars, not format wars. I move to have this thread stricken from the record.
