Why, bluray, why?? Don't do us like this!

I was on bluray.com tonight and saw in their recent news that the teenage mutant ninja turtles franchise was relased on blu. (btw this post is not about TMNT). I have been waiting for a release to do these guys justice and I knew this was it. Needless to say I was very excited as the page was loading and was wondering what bonuses and video quality scores it got.

OMGWTFBBQ???

Not only do they rate it the video quality among some of the more worse tranfers to HD, but the bonus content seemed Non existant. It seems to me the only thing it had going for it was the cover art, which seemed cool.


So why are so many films and film franchises getting the stiff when it comes to new releases, ESPECIALLY on blu?? There was a time not too long ago that when a movie was released on blu, you not only expected amazing quality, but a buttload of bonus content.

Will studios ever give the less deserving titles their spot in the sun? I'm sure when it comes to turtles, they have a plenty of bonus stuff they could put in there. The same can be said to the blu relase of king kong (2005). What a crock. Te film looked stupendous, but knowing all of the the content available to that film, and seeing NONE of it on there, is inexcusable.

Anyone else feel my pain on this, lol? I'm just curious why studios won't put some decent amount of cash behind a property like turtles, knowing there's a fan base, and seeing a greater return in profit.

You have to spend money to make money...

The powers that be in Hollywood are arrogant and over confident like Ford, GM, and Chrysler are and think the general public is gullible that's the explaination for this.

Sorry for laughing. Blame the cynical side of me.

BD won the war, so why go out of the way to do things for anybody? Just like DVD, BD disks will get barer and barer for the inevitable run of "Special Editions" a few months later. Studios don't care, cause they'll still get their money. If the sale of a bare bones version are down below "expectations", then they hold off the SE version, until they recoup a pre-determined amount of cash. People will eventually buy it thinking, "Guess an SE isn't coming out.", then BAM... SE.

Studios are jerks. :mad:

When any new technology comes out, studios push it as much as they can to get it over. Once it has a following, they do less and less to push the technology. It happened with DVD, and they are doing the same with Blu Ray. I am putting off buying TMNT until they release a better version with features. With the way piracy is hitting, you would think they would be doing what they could to get people to buy, which means features, features, and more features.
