Batman Begins - Blu-ray - 7/8/08
My DVD/BD Collection
"A man just naturally can't take the law into his own hands and hang people without hurtin' everybody in the world, 'cause then he's just not breaking one law but all laws. Law is a lot more than words you put in a book, or judges or lawyers or sheriffs you hire to carry it out. It's everything people ever have found out about justice and what's right and wrong. It's the very conscience of humanity. There can't be any such thing as civilization unless people have a conscience, because if people touch God anywhere, where is it except through their conscience? And what is anybody's conscience except a little piece of the conscience of all men that ever lived? I guess that's all I've got to say except kiss the babies for me and God bless you." - Martin's letter, The Ox-Bow Incident

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. |

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

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.

I'll be upgrading to the BD - might as well do it now. Once my XA-2 craps out that's the end of HD DVD in my house.
I'll pass on the gift set though. comic book, collectable cards, toy action figure, utility belt? no thanks.

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!

I've since sold off my HD-DVD along with my entire collection so I welcome this on Blu.
I bet it's a very short time that we see all the exclusive titles on HD-DVD making it over to Blu. |
