^^^^Yeah, I agree with the above poster.

Also, even IF you're right, you're talking about 8 - 10 months from now. PS3 needs reasons to sell NOW, not in almost a year...

Sony would have to be INSANE not to release Spiderman 3 on regular DVD. Is this true people what he says? Will it not come to DVD?

It will come to DVD, however, it may be Blu-Ray exclusive in the High-def formats because it's from Sony Pictures.

with sony you never know but I'm sure it won't happen it will be released to DVD, they would be stupid not to. Why cut like 98% of your market out just to sell to 2% of it.

Since it's technically Marvel's property I think they have final call, same with LucasFilm, and Wingnut.

Hmmm so you think the non gamers are gonna go drive down to the local bestbuy and pickup a PS3 with SPiderman 3....I have no idea who you trying to target with this post???  You trying to make non gamers,  buy PS3 to watch movies.  This logic will hurt the PS3 more then help it since the game console relies on sales of games to do good, not movies.

They have 7 years to focus on games. They are focusing on games. Up until the Euro launch Sony was focused primarily on manufacturing PS3 hardware and getting it to the consumer. Now, it's software phase.

I think the main focus for sony since last year is BLU ray, and even this year is BLU ray.  Why sell a console with a blu ray movie included and not a game....Would make sense to give a free game with a console then a movie wouldnt you think??

And HD only really matters if you have a HD TV...so you've got to spend another $800-$1000 to fully utilize it.

Exactly.

I said this in my blog and thread and a million times.

One reason among many I didn't get the PS3 is cause it was expensive yet the only free thing added was a movie? Not even a game. Not even a small XBLA kind of game, but a movie meaning they are pushing BR over gaming and I only buy consoles for gaming THAT'S ALL. I don't want a free movie after paying so much money canadian....just pissed me off more

It will not be only on blue-ray and even if it is that does not mean people are going to pay $600 for PS3 and another $30 for spiderman movie just so they can watch it again

I dont think there is anyway that Spiderman 3 will be exlclusive to blu ray only.  Its financial suicide to not include the highest selling format for movies....ANd I cant think of one Sony movie that is on blu ray and not on DVD.  So You can quote me on this that spiderman 3 will  be available on DVD.

I work in the film industry and if I said something like that in a meeting or amongst people in the biz they would laugh their asses off. People dont get how DVD sales are bigger then theatrical sales now a days. Most movies make money after theatrical release. Not having DVD sales is pretty much saying you don't want (in SP3's case) Millions and Millions of dollars.

"Many of Disney, Fox and Sony’s biggest box office movies will release exclusively on Blu-Ray in the next three months, likely pushing the sales separation between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD to a margin where many retailers will begin phasing out HD-DVD. Retailers hate a format war even more than consumers, and I suspect they’ll take the initiative to end it as quickly as possible." http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/1010.html

I think he means exclusive to BR as in not coming to HD-DVD. Trust me the entire film industry would have laugh riot if they didn't put it on DVD. That would be the dumbest move I have seen in a LONG TIME

Why would you do that? HD-DVD and DVD are two different things. You act like everyone has an HDTV. A lot of people on these forums dont get that the majority of people in general don't let alone gamers. BR and HD-DVD are like ants compared to DVD right now. DVD is not dead anytime soon, maybe in two years minimum but I think more like 3-4 years

I didn't buy my PS3 to play Bluray movies.

I have no Bluray movies and I do not intend to buy them anytime soon until the DVD format is completly obsolete.

When DVD is dead I will buy a next gen player. I almost never use my PS2 or 360 etc.. for movies. Gaming consoles for me are just for gaming.

Well thank goodness. but according to your argument, you are justifying Sony's action of leaving it's base to ride a single game or 2 until they could put out (too many) systems in EU. Sony has bitten you, and you are making their excuses for them. That is a Real Fanboy!!!!
