Sony's 50 gigabyte Blu-ray movies announced |
Ó
A fifty-gigabyte Blu-ray disc. That's pretty much the equivalent of something GINORMOUS in the movie and videogame industry, and its first outing into the consumer world of Blu-ray lovers will be Adam Sandler's "Click," aptly enough. Sony recently confirmed the news of this 50 GB version of the Blu-ray format by announcing the first three titles in their line-up of movies. The first movie they'll be releasing is "Click," which will be out on October 10. Next is "Black Hawk Down," which will hit store shelves on November 14. "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" will be the third title they'll have out, and will be showing up for movie buffs to pick up on December 12.
The three titles will be packed with bonus features, such as deleted scenes, director's commentaries and, in the case of "Talladega Nights," Ricky and Cal's commercials and public service announcements. While that does put a lot of bang for your movie-loving buck, we can't help but wonder. Four 50 GB Blu-ray discs can play a standard-definition version (at 23 hours running time per disc) of the 87-hour movie, "Cure for Insomnia." They could have gotten an entire legendary movie in as their starting release! Oh well. Check your local movie shop when these Blu-ray movies come out.

Ok. i was at a circuit city today and saw about 10 different titles all already released on Blu-ray. Ao this story is either WAY old and obviously out of date; Or the person writing had no idea what they were talking about. Also for anyone that might sk which ones i saw, there was : The Fifth Element, Full Metal Jacket, ky Captain and the World of Tommorow just too name a few.
But these are the 50 gig disks. that's why they're different. Yes there are blue-ray movies out but not the 50 gig ones! I really don't know why they are wasting these disks for movies. They use maybe... 20% of the disk?
It'll be nice to maybe put a series on one. That'd be pretty cool. Or maybe a value pack of 4-5 movies in one disk. i'd buy that, but really to have a 50 gig disk for only 1 movies is kind of well a waste
I agree with all your points. It feels kind of weird having both a regular and 50GB Blu-ray version of the same movie, but somebody's bound to want it.
Personally, I'd love to see Blu-ray sets of TV shows... maybe some sort of super Transformers Collection Blu-ray with every episode ever made for the American show + the Japanese ones that were dubbed for the US.
Star Wars collection.... *drools*
why are they releasing blu rays so early? arnt blu ray players not released even yet? and the ps3 comes out only in november. please answer somebody. anybody?
You guys don't get it. When the movie is be formated in True HD 1080p . It needs a lot of space this is why two version come out of one movie for example the movie CLICK. It will come out for DVD and blu-ray the reason why DVD its because the majority of people own a dvd player but the quality its not as great as it will be if it was in HD. I recommend going to websites like wikipedia and howstuffworks.com to understand the difference between a regular DVD and a blu-ray disc and why the space its important. When the movie is formated in HD it required a lot a data and it can't fit in a regular DVD because of the lenth of the movie but with the extra features like behind the scenes, and etc. So next time.
Hmm, I see 50 gigabyte disks and instantly think Lord of the Rings Extended edition played straight through nonstop.
Hmmm... well, one 50GB Blu-ray can hold up to nine hours of high-definition video.
I'm intrigued.
I really wanna see some sitcoms and anime using these discs to their full potential. no more of these 4 episodes per disc crap for $40.
i would like to see the hole series of stargate sg1 on 1 blue ray disk
Blue-ray is intended for High Definition content. It can hold quite a bit of standard-definition content, such as video you'd find on DVD, but that's hardly the point. Currently the only blue-ray discs out on the market are single-layer, which only hold a maximum of 25Gb, which is smaller than double-layer HD-Dvds, which hold 30Gb. This is why the current batch of Blue-ray videos tend to look slightly worse than HD-Dvd. Both media types support the exact same video compression methods (MPEG4/VC-1 etc), so disregarding differing storage capacities, both formats are the /exact same/. Due to the smaller capacity of single-layer Blue-ray discs, videos need more complex compression or more lossy compression, than they would on HD-DVD (25 is smaller than 30), which obviously make the videos look slightly worse. The video definition of blue-ray videos was further diminished, as studios used low quality MPEG encoding(lossy compression), instead of the more adquate VC-1 compression, which HD-Dvd is using, to fit on the 25Gig discs.
Blue-ray double-layered discs are capable of holding over 3 hours of 1080p video, support the exact same compression methods as HD-Dvd, and have 5/3rds more memory capacity.
Now that their finally releasing Blue-ray discs that are larger in size than the competitors, we should actually start seeing the video quality pull ahead of that of HD-Dvd. I'm just suprised it's taking them so damn long.
Cutting edge technology that's supposed to lead us into the future of media content... and we get Adam Sandler's Click...
I wouldn't exactly call "Click" the pinnacle of movies either, however I'm definitely anticipating the release of Black Hawk Down. I feel it's simply a brilliant movie, and will undoubtedly look amazing in HighDef.
it's a good point to hear. Sure this is going to become the new age of perfect viewing pleasure. But really only a handfull of movies will really need this kind of status in the moon light. Do I really need to see of crisp Adam Sandler can look like in 1080p. I wouldn't mind seeing Cast Away with all that panaramic shots but most movies don't really have any spectacular sences that call for hi-def.
how can you tell which one has more gigs than the other blu ray disc??..why are some gonna be 25 and the other 50??..anyone know or im just lost here
