Moon never came to my town. I had to put up with the rave reviews and had little opportunity to see it in the theater. I patiently waited for DVD/BD. Sony fucked the US with that too. UK BD and DVD release is Nov 16th. US is Dec 29 for DVD and Jan 10 2010 for BD. Why? What are you trying to accomplish Sony? All of your US fans that want to see it will just get it off the internet from a UK rip.

Sony doesn’t complain when they profit from the cameras being used to cam those movies, nor the profit made from converting those movies on a Viao. Or even the sales of walkmans due to people viewing the cams on the go.

I can only hope that movie companies realize that they need to turn movies around into DVD releases at a faster pace. Right now the time lag between theater release and DVD release is so long it leaves the market for a shitty ‘cam’ version -=wide open=-. if the movie was released to DVD sooner then the market for cammed movies would dry up. Then we could all laugh at the cammers rather than blaming them for any supposed “lost profits”.

I seriously wonder if this guy is hinting at importing a 3 strike regime in the US.
