Buena Vista? pay attention.

 

Disney branded movies... for example: Disney's Cinderella, Disney's Herbie The Love Bug, Disney's Pinocchio, etc,

supposedly Disney is paramount because of their name... so how many?

the point is; Disney's "support" is in word, primarily. Yet hd dvd porn is NOW available but somehow that doesn't hold as much clout as Disney's word...:roll:

Sigh...now your just playing with semantics. Disney owns all those movies. They aren't on HD-DVD.

What mroe do you want?

what i want is simply a listing of Disney branded movies for sale on bluray....

not Disney/Buena Vista..

i've never heard of an advertised, "Buena Vista's Cinderella" before...

and buena vista isn't the name being thrown around as important... the DISNEY name is..

face it; the "support" from Disney is not what you guys make it out to be...;)

But when Buena Vista Home Entertainment carries such names as Touchstone Pictures and Miramax Films the dynamic of your aguement changes. Not to mention Pirates of the Caribbean series.

while you continue to twist the topic, allow me to readdress it;

the name DISNEY was the power behind bluray as you guys claim giving it the edge over hd dvd.

and yet not ONE Disney branded bluray movie for sale out of the hundreds with the Disney name attached...

that was the only point.

Again I ask, who are "you guys" and when have I ever claimed that Bluray would "win" over HD-DVD?  I've made points in defense of both HD-DVD and Bluray on multiple threads today.  I'm still clueless as to why you think I care or hope one of these formats "wins".    

Aside from that, I would consider Disney's support to include but not be limited to Buena Vista, just as I would consider the same regarding Universal and USA Films, October Films and late 90's PolyGram Entertainment films.

Millions more BD players have been purchased, yet only about 100K more BD movies have been sold.

...

I guess you missed the part where HD-DVD released long before Blu-ray, but Blu-ray made up the gap.

i guessed you missed the part where the bluray movies bundled with the ps3 was counted as bluray sale...;)

yet, even if the person buying the ps3 didn't have a hdtv, somehow it's a point for bluray?

rich :lol:

Do you have link showing Nielsen Videoscan counting bundled Talladega nights as a sale?

[QUOTE="Dire_Weasel"][QUOTE="tango90101"]

poor dire, he still thinks a ps3 counts as a dedicated bluray player..

 

m3Boarder32

No, I don't. I've never said that. The PS3 is defintely a Blu-ray player, but it sure isn't a dedicated blu-ray player.

Thanks for trying to change your claim from "hd-dvd players outsell blu-ray players 4-1" to "dedicated hd-dvd players outsell dedicated blu-ray players 4-1", but no one here is going to buy it. :lol:

Millions more BD players have been purchased, yet only about 100K more BD movies have been sold. What's going to happen when the 2 million HD-DVD players are sold at wally world

 How long have 1 Million plus BD players been available compared to the length of time HD-DVD movies have been on the market?

Confirmation FTW:

from the International Herald Times a very reliable news source.

 

It is HD-DVD, NOT bLu-RAY

That article is dated October 20th, 2005. It has nothing to do with the rumored Wal-Mart deal.

Actually Sherlock, the correlation of the article is Toshiba joining up with Chinese manufacturers. The statement with"poor translation" about the Walmart deal was about Chinese manufacturers licensed by Toshiba.

Come on now... let's put 2 and 2 together...come on now... you can do it...!!!

Good boy! See, I told you if you use your brain you could do it!!!

You see thats called assuming and that gets people into alot of trouble. YOu are trying to put the square block in the hole meant for the triangle just because you think it fits doesnt mean its true. That is VERY old news and lots of things could have changed since then.

So why do you assume things HAVE changed, when no word has come out otherwise?

i've said it from the get-go: hd dvd/walmart/china will be in bed together eventually.

other big box retailers are moving this direction and it goes against walmart's grain to not take advantage of it by doing it cheaper and faster...

when walmart's finished, a consumer can watch a hi definition movie for under $1,000 including HDTV...

very nice..;)

What if you want a quality experience for under $1,000?  Wouldn't it be better to buy a Toshiba HD-DVD for $400 or $500?  You get what you pay for.

[QUOTE="Cronaroth"]WalMart is far from the best place for movies...plenty of times ive found better deals at say Best Buy-and heck now most of the time I buy online since the best prices are online....I never see High Def movies at walmart anyways...and their DVD selection is just pathetic....I buy games every so often there since they do a much better job on games...but movies...never...Uptown

Agree, I buy most media from Amazon. I won't step foot in a Wal-Mart. The people in there are nasty and the checkout lines are too long. I much prefer Target.

Target is the classy version of Wal-Mart. Its clean, its well lit, its well organized, and the people that shop there aren't collecting from the government ;O

Here in Texas it's even worse.  Most of the people in Walmart aren't even citizens or legal residents of this country. 

Another Chinese Article, written today. (the 26th in China)

Wal-Mart meddling format war HD DVD will ultimately win?
http://66.249.91.104/translate_c?hl=en&u=http://www.stor-age.com/dongtai/hangye/htm2007/07042600BX8M.asp&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dstor-age.com%26hl%3Den


Why is the HD DVD instead BD?

For Wal-Mart, low prices forever is the only truth. Wal-Mart will not sell discs without selling high-end home theater equipment, they know the price of power, as mentioned above, Wal-Mart DVD has been let for sale. They urgently need 200 dollars or less a refreshing player, the DVD also cost the lower the better. Toshiba agreed to early production of cheap DVDs, and HD DVD, and the cost difference between traditional DVD is not a very big site at least much cheaper than BD, HD DVD production without replacing major equipment.

Made the decision to become a very simple matter, BD Wal-Mart does not meet the requirements, technical advantages of the overall situation has become irrelevant. Always keep prices for the first Wal-Mart, the low-cost HD DVD become an inevitable choice.

What does this mean?

This means that any one film company in order to allow Wal-Mart Christmas and the days since the sale of their films, only issued HD DVD format movies. Wal-Mart will not help BD do promotional work. After the end of the year, they will focus on how to let customers to buy HD DVD player and movies above.

In the short term, BD camp studios only two options, either to support both formats, either Wal-Mart is facing the loss of business risk. They need to consider what it means to Wal-Mart business, Anti-Wal-Mart will act on their income and position in the market have much of an impact. This has given Sony's Columbia Pictures (Columbia Pictures) dilemma.

Therefore, if this move is Wal-Mart really (currently does seem like really), the format will struggle to put an end to, Wal-Mart announced HD DVD to become the ultimate winner. However, in the past few months, all variables still exist.

I respect your posts and you're usually spot on with good info.  But that is actually a chinese translation of Robert Ederle's opinion piece on Digitaltrends.
