There are still a lot of sore winners still around, apparently.]]>May 7th 2008 9:02PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/May 7th 2008 9:09PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/
Maybe this announcement will get the guys at my local GameStop to remove the ridiculous sticker marked $34 for the MI-3 on Blu-ray. The have the open case with a "New" sticker. How is that new when it's already opened? This is not a car. A video, a game, just like a cd, if it's not sealed, the store should not pass it as new. ]]>May 7th 2008 9:14PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/
I guess BD will have to be BD-Live too or make up for it in other ways. It it is BD-Live enabled, it may need a lot of infrastructure to be put in place especially if its Paramounts first online enabled disk.

The other titles are already done and dusted so I assume they just took the master over to their local replicator and just pumped out a bunch more of them.]]>May 8th 2008 4:37AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/
In fact the most likely outcome is a straight 'port' of the HD DVD release (and all the Blu-ray fols can pretend that a 'reference' standard audio track would sound much better on their creative 5.1 set-ups if it was that wasteful & bloated uncompressed idiocy).

It's going to be funny hearing how the supposedly superior Blu-ray ends up (just like last time when Paramount encoded to suit each format) looking & sounding no different to the HD DVD release.

I've been enjoying many of the Paramount releases for months now.

Transformers?
Well tbh it was a really cr@p film, some nice visual effects & some nice audio effects too but, be serious, it was about as instantly forgettable, childish & superficial as they come.
Typical Hollywood fodder for the single adolescent male 'PS3 demographic'.
All effects and no substance (typical Bay sh!te, in fact).

It doesn't age any better either, it'll not getting voted as an all-time classic anywhere that's for sure.

The movie is about the effects. I don't think they were trying to win an Oscar.

Classic? Who cares. It's simple entertainment. It's visual and audio candy for your home systems.

Whether or not it sounds or looks any different than HD-DVD is a moot point. They are both 1080p. The HD-DVD version looked and sounded awesome. However, Toshiba pulled out and the war is over. All I'm asking for is that it's released on BR. ]]>May 8th 2008 9:27AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/May 10th 2008 1:34PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/May 8th 2008 1:47PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/May 7th 2008 8:25PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/
Where's the Jack Ryan Collection?

Transformers?
Sh!te if you ask me.
Glitzy empty pap for the sort of people who find shiney beads interesting.

Yeah, I bought it (cheap) but be honest, you'd really be taking the pi$$ if you would seriously try & call it a satisfyingly engaging cinematic experience.

I'm just glad the Blu-ray releases posts will be rid of that stupid asterisk once and for all.

Welcome back Paramount, you're forgiven. Now get to business and start cranking out the Blu-ray titles. My personal most wanted BD release from Paramount is the Godfather trilogy. I hope that will be out by the end of the year. ]]>May 8th 2008 10:44AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/May 8th 2008 11:52AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/May 8th 2008 12:36PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/Amen to that.

I was all happy after reading this thinking "great, now I can buy Shooter for a decent price". But my dreams where shattered when I noticed that none of the original Paramount titles have anything better than DD or DTS.]]>May 8th 2008 5:29PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/07/entire-paramount-blu-ray-catalog-is-back-by-the-end-of-may/
