Updated PS3. I'm 99.9% sure it's the disc and not the player. I'll go call them and ask for a replacement. It happens in regular and maximum movie mode. Same place - Chapter 2.

Edit: Called and they said they would send out a replacement. She said something about the return label too I think, god forbid me understand anything with that thick accent. Oh well.

I use a PS3 as my Blu-ray player and was able to play the entire movie. So it probably is the disc.

Home Media Magazine is reporting that the BD had a 36% share of total sales. I believe that's a record number for a day & date title. Very impressive.

Indeed it is. Maybe I'll actually attempt to watch this film sometime this year.

Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
 

DVDFile has the same story.

This is great news, Star Trek may even be able to hit the 50/50 total. But, watchmen really did have it's nitch market, ST may be to broad of a market to hit that number. Maybe some BR Disk will hit that after XMas.

As much as I hate to say it, I think Transformers 2 will have a chance at 50/50.

Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
 

No way. The Blu-ray will sell more copies (compared to Watchmen BD) but DVD will say waaaay more DVD copies (compared to Watchmen DVD). Remember, Watchmen is an R rated film while Transformers 2 is PG13. It's going to be more accessible to to consumers. I doubt Paramount will be as lax with the BD pricing as Warner has with Watchmen.

Re: Watchmen: 7/28/09 (?)
 

I think many dvd buyers are going to skip purchasing it on release day, opting to wait for a price break if they really want it. Blu-Ray buyers will purchase for the overall presentation on day one. That's my guess at least.

Unlike Warner, Paramount does not seem to offer these 'rebates' to stores as quickly. I noticed Fry's also jumped on the Warner rebate train with numerous catalog titles have an instant $5 rebate. Blu-ray owners will eat this title up...but I think DVD owners will as well. Really hope this outsells Transformers 2.
