Nobody said ti was available now, but Warner has promised it will be available as soon as PiP is available, and it is now so we can expect it soon.

Yeah it's deceptive, anti-consumer and illegal for them to do so. I am just outraged, now consumers will buy a BD player thinking Batman Begins is currently available. Please alert the Attorney Generals office at once!

Now that I think of it, they'll probably wait to align it witht he theatrical launch of the Dark Knight to maximize sales.

That it does. Interesting because the other studio screens say "coming soon" on the clips which aren't. Hmm.

Looks like Warner isn't leaving Blu behind...

Maybe everyone attending CES will receive a free copy of BB

That just proves an announcement shouldn't come until after CES IMO. VERY well done video! I wonder how many days or weeks they spent on it?

The video means nothing. Paramount was promoting both formats up until the day they made the announcement, the whole point is to catch the other side off guard. If Warner was to announce they were going HD-DVD exclusive the only one to know would be the HD-DVD Promotions Group and even then probably only a few members. Same thing if they were to go Blu-Ray exclusive.

That is very misleading that they mention Batman Begins as a title currently available on Blu-Ray when it isn't. It's almost as bad as when I go into Best Buy or Circuit City and they are still showing Paramount as a Blu-Ray studio on their Blu-Ray demo disc. It all only creates more confusion.

Seems like the movies that were in video were ALREADY ON Blu-ray (previously released between 2006-2007) Nothing new... Except for the lie of Batman Begins on Blu-ray... FALSE ADVERTISING STILL

Hmm the important thing to know is when the video was created.
