Re: Batman Begins - Blu-ray - 7/8/08


To rebuy on BD??? That is the question. This was the movie that sold me an HD-DVD player in Fall 2006. And it served me faithfully.

Based on what the release entails, I am game. New transfer, good enough. New extras, good enough

It won't take much.

For consistency's sake, if you want both films, plus any future releases or the previous four, your only HD choice is Blu-ray.

Count me in, but even more so for the "anime" Batman on Blu-ray, the same day.

Good for my wallet that I'm not terribly worried about consistency.

I'm definitely in for this one.....double-dipping for this one from the DVD was never a question for me. I'll get the limited edition set.

Re: Batman Begins - Blu-ray - 7/8/08


I have this on HD DVD, but count me in for the "Gift set":

"..includes a Batman Begins motion art lenticular, exclusive photos, script pages, storyboards, five collectible Batman Begins postcards and $7.50 in movie cash toward a Dark Knight ticket. Both the standalone version and gift set Blu-ray releases include an exclusive comic book prologue to The Dark Knight."

This is the way to do it. Re-release the film with at least some additional goodies. Easier to double-dip.

Utility Belt? Really?!?! Count me in!

I'm a sucker for Batman so I'll definitely be picking up the gift set. Plus it will save me the price of the ticket when I go see The Dark Knight so it's virtually a wash.

And I'm just as excited about the Gotham Knight animated blu-ray release which is scheduled to drop the same day. From what I've seen it looks really good.




Blu-ray & HD DVD - It's all about the movies!
