Warner titles in Blu? (1 Viewer)

[Matt Butler]

Warner seems to have a few titles in Red but not Blu. Just wondering about
Perfect Storm
Batman Begins and
Matrix trilogy

 

[TonyD]

have you looked in the topics for those titles?

I'm sure the reason has been discussed there.

Warner have been holding back on some of these titles until the Blu-ray Profile 1.1 issues were sorted out. Blu-ray players couldn't handle the PIP commentaries included on the HD-DVD versions until this was sorted.

We should hopefully be seeing these sometime in 2008, now that Profile 1.1 has been launched. The PS3 is now a fully compliant Profile 1.1 player via an internet update & the first Profile 1.1 titles with interactive features are coming in January (Sunshine, 3:10 to Yuma, Resident Evil:Extinction, War).

It's all explained much better here;

For those titles that do not have the In-Movie Experience, such as Casablanca, The Adventures of Robin Hood, or The Perfect Storm, Warner is simply waiting for a viable release window that will accommodate 1) sufficient replication and 2) sufficient promotion.

Brandon hit the answer right on the nose. Hopefully they'll announce futher details in a little over a week during CES (1/7-1/10).
