Seems kind of stupid to me though, This way now they will probably sell less as all the annoyed Blu ray fans won't buy. On the other hand, with a stellar home video release they could potentially still increase business a little bit. Wouldn't be the first film that gets saved by the home video market... Well, who am I to judge. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

Well, who am I to judge. I'll go out on a limb and say that a very large percentage of the annoyed Blu-ray fans who said they'll "never buy the film without lossless sound!" ... will buy it anyway, whilst quietly cursing Warner's name. Home video is almost - if not more - important than Box Office for a lot of films these days. Directors have gotten sequels greenlit due to strong sales (Serenity, unless I'm mistaken, and not technically a standard "sequel" either). | | | Erik
