Second. As you pointed out about the "Semi Blu boycott" of Paramount, why would they waste money storing/warehousing these discs if this is true? I think this is also a statement Paramount is making about how sure of their decision they are now with *near* mass consumer prices for HD DVD players.
Tell me. Are YOU one of those BD owners who are boycotting the Paramount BD movies?  |
Nope, I am buying the Paramount titles that I want. I have 16 or the 32 that are available on Blu. Why would any company with an asset destroy that asset, instead of collecting the money that they had invested in them? Hence, the current $19.99 sale of HD DVD and Blu Ray titles. Too bad that not all of their titles were on sale, but so be it. I wouldn't mind buying Black Snake Moan, but it is currently $34.99, a ripoff. Shooter is also selling for that price. I already purchased that title, when it was released the same day as 300. Many Blu supports, have boycotted Paramount because they see them as the whore that they really are. I see it as a smart business move, because they will eventually be free from Microsoft and will republish the Blu titles that they previously had released.
