sky movies

[eddgreen25]

I'm waiting for the movie TransFormers to come to sky movies
It seems ages I've waited it was on HDdvd last year
The problom here may be a blueray issue is planned
So maybe Xmas then

Box Offfice had it, but not in HD.


I don't think Sky will show it unless they can get an HD master, and I think they have had trouble getting the rights to it. Maybe now the format war is over it will be possible, but as Transformers was a System Killer for HD-DVD I think that was the issue.

Just wondering why your title read Sky Movies as oppossed to Transformers in HD? or something like that.
mattclarkie, can you explain what you meant that is was a HD-DVD killer please?

[mattclarkie]

It was the one title that HD-DVD had that everyone wanted, and some people didn't buy Blu-ray players, (therfore it was a System Killer) because they couldn't watch Transformers, so instead got HD-DVD. If you ignore any other factors such as price.
It was HD-DVDs version of Halo for the Xbox, people got an Xbox for Halo which made it the Xbox's Killer App, people got HD-DVD for Transformers.

Obviously not enough people to make a difference to the format war.

I thought you meant the other way round, Transformers killed HD-DVD. If that was the case I would've not agreed. Thanks for your explaination.
