Dark Knight Blu ray will be sony's true PS3 seller this Holiday

People are overlooking the fact that Dark Knight comes out on Blu ray Dec 9th and This will SELL huge on blu ray and i even think it will move  a good number of PS3s. Because think about who is the main audience for this Movie, a lot of teens-young adults from ages generally 14-27 is the main audience for this movie and some of those are ones that only own a 360, they want a PS3 but are still on the fence but they are also Dark Knight fanboys and want it on blu ray so they will just go ahead and get a PS3 for christmas with Dark Knight for blu ray. I personally think if Sony came out with a Dark knight PS3 bundle say a 40 GB model and sell it for $349.99 that they would all sell out in a day.

Oh and this thread isnt meant to bash any games that came out for the PS3 this year because I actually think Resistance 2 and LBP will easily break a million copies sold this holiday when its all said and done.. But Dark Knight is going to be HUGE for blu ray and will push a lot of people to buy a PS3 for the Dark Knight.  

lol you guys need all the help you can get.

News flash: itll sell 90% on DVD.

maybe if it was exclusive to blu-ray, but I dont see people droping $300+ just to watch a movieonewiththegame

Yup, this. 

Experts say Dark Knight will do for blu ray what Matrix did for DVD and that is to push the format over the top and I believe them. Dark Knight is amazing and it will be HUGE ON Blu ray, true people can just buy a blu ray player but remember the main age group that likes this Movie are the age group that is tech savvy and Blu ray and PS3 go hand in hand, when most people think of blu ray they also think of PS3CODjon84

 Not at all. People who are tech savvy will also realize that the PS3 is not the optimal format to play Blu-Ray movies on. No doubt this movie will be huge on blu-ray, but as stated before, do you really think people will drop 400+ to play a movie. Plus I don't think Blu-Ray and PS3 are as synonymous as your are making them out to be.

I may be wrong, but Matrix never came to VCR. The only way for getting it was buying a DVD player.

TDK is also coming to DVD, so there's no "need" for a Blue ray player.

i still disagree with the author's claim regardless.

This is probably the 30th so called system seller for the PS3 since launch. Give it up already. The PS3 is doing just fine.

The Dark Knight DVD is going to crush everything anyway..

haha TDK on DVD.

How can people have such low standards. 

eh, it's projected to sell about a million copies on BR. which is alot, but not big enough numbers to move a large amount of consoles.

For sure The Dark Knight will be a huge BluRay seller.

But I'm sure there will be a ton of people that buy the $200 BR players widely available now (and maybe even cheaper on Black Friday).  Why do people still think that standalone players are more expensive than the PS3?Please don't give me the "but the PS3 is a better player and plays games!" stuff, because people actually interested in watching movies at a reasonable price will only see the $200 difference.

Oh, and that $200 they save instead of buying a PS3 can go towards a 360 Arcade (runs and hides).

Umm, the TC is still living in October 2007.

Let me bring him/her up to date.

If someone REALLY wants to watch Batman in HD and they have no interest in games, do you honestly think they're going to spend 260$ more for a PS3 in this economy??

Hmmm Ok, so according to Amazon we got

The Dark Knight 2 disc speacial edition- $21.49

The Dark Knight single disc widescreen-15.99

The Dark Knight Blu-Ray-23.99

The Dark Knight Limited edition with Batpod blu-ray-47.99

I'm going with the $15.99 copy it's a movie and will look perfectly fine on my upconvert DVD player. I have tons of DVD's like pushing about 425. They all look good on my upconvert DVD player. Over time I find myself watching less and less. I have actually have movies I've watched one time and haven't watched since, so what's the point to buying everything anymore I've stopped buying most movies and only buy the ones I know I'll enjoy, or watch a few times.

Oh by the way Blu-Ray is a fad and will die of don't waste your money and with the way the economy is movie co. are going to drop that waste of time in a heart beat. There's not much profit in it now. Muhahahaha

Until BR can show me it can move units in high volume like Standard DVD, my collection will be limited.  But I will have this on BR no doubt. But dropping $400 on a game/BRplayer when there are just BR players that are 65% cheaper?  Maybe the person who was on the fence who was thinking about buying a PS3 anyway.
