Comments on: Will “The Dark Knight” Be Blu-Ray’s Breakthrough? http://www.ps3blog.net/2008/12/09/will-the-dark-knight-be-blu-rays-breakthrough/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:25:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Gary http://www.ps3blog.net/2008/12/09/will-the-dark-knight-be-blu-rays-breakthrough/#comment-172272 Gary Sun, 14 Dec 2008 19:02:39 +0000 http://www.ps3blog.net/2008/12/09/will-the-dark-knight-be-blu-rays-breakthrough/#comment-172272 I thought the movie was a pile of overrated crap. If it boost BR sales though then it's a good thing overall. I thought the movie was a pile of overrated crap. If it boost BR sales though then it’s a good thing overall.

"Ron Sanders, president of Warner Home Video, estimates The Dark Knight could sell its 1 millionth Blu-ray Disc copy by Saturday. He spoke to Home Media Retailing and offered this, "In the first two days across those three territories, Blu-ray Disc sales are running between 25% and 30% of total sales, which is a massive number. We had expected Blu-ray to account for a significant percentage of sales, but not quite this high, which speaks well for the format. It's really catching on with consumers."" http://www.n4g.com/News-244847.aspx Good for nothing broken PSU links!

Even my 75 yo grandmother now knows about blu-ray and was asking me about an hd tv today ! Once hd tv's are as cheap as sdtv's are now, then everybody will own one and blu-ray comes right after that. Blu-ray will eventually completely replace dvd, and noooooo, digital distribution will not be blu-rays end by any means ! Not until every person, or household has super massive hdd's (which is not going to happen). These movies in 1080p and all the extra content take up a lot of space and i wouldn't even want to know how long it would take to download a movie like The Dark Knight in 1080p ! Besides, me and all of my friends own ps3's and only buy movies on blu-ray now. I only buy what i consider to be hit titles, and already own over 30 of them (may not seem like a lot to a few people out there..ha) Anyways, i'm simply trying to say that i believe that blu-ray is already doing very well and had already begun it's breakthrough a while back. I love movies in 1080p !! End of rant...... :) Already purchased, and watched my copy (on blu-ray) :) Btw, if you ask me, blu-ray doesn’t need a breakthrough since “it has” already.

I just saw it this weekend and was blown away! I mean, it REALLY was a REALLY great movie. Usually, Superhero movies are one time watch only (well, except Blade, but that was a different beast altogether), but this one had no dumbed down story for the kids. Next time, they should make it R rated or so :D (to go even further). But, to be honest, except "Two Face" I didn't find this movie that disturbing actually. There have been equally hard movies in the past as well, although many say otherwise!
