Avatar: Breaking Blu-ray Records
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: 20th Century Fox, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Science Fiction, Home Entertainment,
The movie that shattered the box office is now setting new standards in the world of Blu-ray. Since its April 22 release on home disc, Avatar has sold almost 7 million DVDs and Blu-rays to date - though the number is only going to get bigger and bigger.
James Cameron’s flick is now the fastest-selling Blu-ray of all time. Sales will boom again when the 3D Blu-ray discs are released, an event which FOX says is upcoming (though no official date has been announced.)
You can pick up Avatar from Amazon now, for 50% off.

Cinema Scene: Sandra Bullock Returns Razzie, Green Hornet Gets Moved
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Sony, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Science Fiction, Awards, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Home Entertainment, Technology,
-Sandra Bullock may have earned her Razzie, but she’s now willingly returning it. Apparently the actress walked away with the prototype award, not the $5 knockoff she was supposed to receive.
-Speaking of the Razzies, we’ll now get a chance to see the worst of the worst honored live. The ceremony’s producers hope to telecast the awards program beginning with the 31st annual event in 2011.
-Box-office champ Avatar is already breaking records in the home entertainment department. Approximately 1.5 million Blu-ray copies were sold on Day 1, besting The Dark Knight’s previous high.
-The Green Hornet has flown to a new release date. The Seth Rogen film, originally scheduled for December 22, will now open on January 14, 2011 (the MLK holiday weekend). Why? Because Sony wants time to covert the movie into 3D, of course!
Earth Day Deal: Planet Earth and Life on Blu-ray for $50
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: HDTV, Hot Deals, Movies, Science,
Earth Day 2010 is here, and the Discovery Channel Store has an amazing deal that we had to let you in on to celebrate the occasion—you can get both the Planet Earth series and the Life series as a Blu-ray set for $50. Shipping is $4, so for $54 total, you get both documentary series on Blu-ray, which would normally cost $169.90 in total. It’s basically a steal, the visuals are jaw-dropping, and it’s a bit more Earth Day-ish than Avatar.

Netflix now delaying Fox and Universal disc releases
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Movies,
If you are a current Netflix subscriber, you’ll likely recall that they decided to enter into an agreement with Warner Bros. back in January that would delay Netflix from making new films from the studio available to subscribers for 28 days from the in-store release date. Well, it looks like more studios are jumping on board, as both Fox and Universal has now come to similar terms. What’s the upside for Netflix subscribers? More streaming movies.
For example, with the Fox agreement, you’ll need to wait 28 days before you’ll be able to get a movie like Avatar in the mail, but in exchange you’ll find streaming titles like 24, Bones, Lie to Me, Arrested Development, Prison Break, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. With Universal, you’ll have to wait a bit longer for movies like It’s Complicated, but don’t fret, because Billy Elliot, The Pianist, and Being John Malkovich (among others) will be at your instant streaming disposal.
Expect more of these deals to be made, as Netflix is banking on streaming movies as the future of distribution (we agree,) and they are of the mindset that having customers wait an extra 4 weeks to get new discs is worth it if it means greater access to streaming rights. Let’s see how this all plays out. Anyone upset about this?

Amazon selling Sylvania Blu-ray player for $59.99!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: HDTV, Home Entertainment, Hot Deals,
Amazon is currently selling a Slyvania Blu-ray player for $59.99, which has got to be the absolute cheapest price we have ever seen for a standalone Blu-ray player to date. It’s compatible with all the expected surround sound formats, and can play back just about any kind of disc you can think of. It supports Bonus View Profile 1.1, so while it isn’t a 2.0 player, we think it is safe to say that not many people use those 2.0 features. For $60, this is a steal.
