Universal announces Blu-Ray plans; Heroes available in August

Firefly is confirmed to be coming; although if the UHD broadcasts are any indication, I don't know if I really want'em :(

Firefly is being put out by Fox not Universal so UHD's pic quality will have nothing to do with the Blu releases PQ.

PARAMOUNT/DREAMWORKS=TRANSFORMERS

Yep, it's just you.

Universal is by far my favorite studio, and 2007 was a landmark year for them.

Knocked Up
Bourne Ultimatum
Children of Men
Good Shepherd
The Kingdom
Hot Fuzz

Not to mention the countless catalog titles they have like the original Jurassic Park and Gladiator movies.

Lets also not forget that they own Focus Features which produces some of the best "indy" flicks today.

Seriously... if anything I'd be more inclined that because of the format war you built up some sort of loyalty to the Blu-ray companies and instantly disliked any of the HD DVD ones. Just a theory anyways...

It'll be good to FINALLY get some Blu-U movies after what seems like forever since the format war ended.

I like how you conclude that because your opinion differs, I'm completely wrong and alone. I made a point of saying "maybe it's just me" - I never suggested that my opinion was the only correct one.

And for what it's worth, I agree, most of those movies are pretty good (or are supposed to be), but it seems like relative to WB (which was format neutral for a long time), Paramount, Sony/Columbia or even Fox, Universal doesn't have much to offer.

And no, I'm not a rabid fanboy who just decided Universal sucks because they didn't support Blu-ray. Seeing what movies I COULD get versus the movies that were only available on HD DVD allowed me to come to the conclusion that Universal is probably the least important studio out there (to me, that is).

PS: I also think Ridley Scott is an overrated hack, so Gladiator doesn't mean much to me. AND JP1 was the only good movie of the franchise.

Be patient they'll be coming but the Bourne movies had massive amounts of U-Control written exclusively for HD-DUD on them which they have to re-write now for BD-J. These things take time but I think it is safe to say to expect the Bourne trilogy sometime this year (XMAS?).
