There’s no reason they couldn’t extend the offer to Canada!

Why on earth would they exclude us?

I’ve lost a lot of respect for Warner Bros after this…

Someone is in denial. Not sure how a format that has twice the capacity (and therefore can contain higher quality audio & video) is better. But hey… enjoy.

As for the main topic, this is a brilliant move by Warner. Bravo!

Too bad HD-DVD was a better format… I’ll keep my HD-DVD colllection as is, thank you.

My 4 WB HD-DVD titles are rotting next to my 360 (that is now my sister’s 360) and they are just dying to come join me after after having a format sex change. This is spectacular news (except for the fact that I rebought A Clockwork Orange on BD cause it was only $15 at Wal-Mart).

Not worth the upgrade for criterion. You can get those for $30 anyways. 20 + 5 for an upgrade?

This is not about Batman Ed.

This is a good idea for those who rode the red train to begin with, me I always knew Blu would emerge triumphant.

If the rest of the movie was 1/2 as good as the first 30 minutes (and Batman didn’t have a lisp) this could have been a really fantastic film.

if you need Jay I’ll help you out straight up.

I’ve been in limbo for a half year because I redid my entertainment system and bought the XBox 360 with the HD deck! I was waiting for Xbox to get off their ass and do a Blueray drive but they are still acting childish. Plus the new move towards On Demand is probably keeping them from creating the drive. I need an answer from them because it isn’t a simple swap out to an additional blueray drive with my rack.

I’m trying to figure out the loophole for us Canadians. The major roadblock: The billing info. You have to pay for the processing using an American credit card.

FUUUUCCCKKKKKK MEEEEEEEEEEEE DUDE.

Boner … gonna have talk to some US connections to make this happen. Why aren’t Caddyshack and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Bluray yet.

Come on Universal … follow suit … AFTER Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, and Children of Men Blurays are out.
