Blades of Glory on Blu-Ray found in Canada...
Just thought people might be interested.
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...=898162&page=4
Starts at post #117. He is called a liar and forger by members even after pics. But, then showed a pic of it playing with a BR bit rate showing. Interesting.
Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.

He'll be able to sell it on eBay to someone who only wants it because they can't have it.  |

I love how the store had another copy and he was able to not get just one, but TWO of them. The eBay bid for the first copy is already over $100. That's a nice profit!

Re: Blades of Glory on Blu-Ray found in Canada...
I am surprised their aren't more copies out there. Their are some who swear up and down Paramount never pressed this disc. I find that hard to believe since Paramount's decision came a few days before it's scheduled release.

In discussions on a "forum" it's quality over quantity for me.

Of course they did - it looks like some people over at the AVS have very short-term memories. Someone on their forums had posted a picture back in late June/Early July of Blades Of Glory on both HD DVD and Blu-ray that he had received from one of his sources at Paramount. These were, apparently, pre-release copies sent out to reviewers, but the final, sealed retail packages for both formats. It's obvious by that posting alone, that these discs were pressed and ready to go at least 2 months ago.

Re: Blades of Glory on Blu-Ray found in Canada...
Makes one wonder what Paramount will do with these discs.
Destroy or save???

Ever since HD-DVD and Blu-Ray launched, at least on AVS, there's been a huge influx of memberships, many being the proverbial fanboy. Moderation is nil at best which is sad. Regardless, thankfully only the software and game forums suffer from this, whereas the hardware side is largely shielded from it.
But the software forums generally turn into large scale pissing matches. I like both forums, but have tended to gravitate towards AVS on hardware/projection systems/other, and HTF for software (which dominates HTF, and is well moderated). They both have their purposes.
