This week Disney made a huge impact in the Blu-ray vs. HDDVD format war by releasing the first two Pirates of the Carribean movies on Blu-ray Disc the same week that the third installment is released in the theaters.A few months ago when Casino Royale was released on Blu-ray Disc, It shattered sales records and catapaulted Blu-ray past HDDVD. Disney hopes to put the nail on the coffin by releasing the two biggest movies in cinematic history on the same day.
However, HDDVD is not going down without a fight. The complete Matrix Trilogy is being released on the same day. (Blu-ray fans don't fret, the Blu-ray version will be available in the fall).
So, Pirates fans, I offer this challenge: Before you see Part 3 in the theaters this weekend, stop by our showroom and watch a scene or two from the previous movies. I can guarantee our Blu-ray player, Hi-Def projector, and surround sound system can produce a better experience than the movie theater.
