Sources within Warner Home Video Philippines confirmed that plans were afoot to start selling Blu-ray discs before the end of the year. They expect to bring in nearly 300 titles eventually with prices for catalog releases hovering around the Php800 level.
This will likely include New Line Cinema films which will now be distributed by Warner's local office effective December 2008.

Wow great!! 800 pesos level. Thats a great price. Hopefully Sony will start lowering theirs too 1550 is kinda too much
-
800 is a reasonable price for bluray, but are these of US quality?

It should be the same quality since the philippines is in the same region as the US.

Does this mean that Warner Philippines will just be importing Bds from the US & just have them repacked here?

Will these BDs be pressed here?

Wow excellent news - PhP 800 ;) I hope the build quality is solid though. Cause if Amazon continues to run its slash-down promos on BD & HDDVD discs, things would roughly end up at par in terms of net costs.
With the 30-50% off price discounts on Amazon, a BD disc may have a net cost of around $15 let's say on average. If you use JAC to get it here, we have to add around $1.50 per disc (rate: $6/lb) plus if you order 4 discs minimum - add $1.25 per disc ($5 flat rate/shipment) for handling. That would total an ave of $17.75 per disc. Using a buffered $45 forex, that would run to around PhP 798.75... Almost bang-on the prospective local Warner titles.
Caveat: Quick pencil pushing lang to mga sir, of course there would be other variables ranging from individual disc prices to how big or small your shipments would be. Well one definite upside of doing it locally would be FASTER leadtimes. No need to wait around two weeks to get your hands on the BD babies.

wow...great news! If quality is similar 2 USA then buying locally wil give us lots of saving!! :)

Yes that will be a lot better but really i dont think stores will b selling that cheap perhaps they'll be adding 30% more to its cost.
-
If they launch at that price, then I just might upgrade to BluRay...
-
There are quite a number of ps3 owners. With this price point, it wil certainly encourage some consumers 2 try out bd movies. Due to the low bd price some movie fans will also upgrade to hd...thus ps3 sales will go up since currently its d cheapest bd player in d market.. :)
-
I hope that this price will not only be for those old or unknown titles but also for those new and famous titles.
-

True...however, I don't mind those old but popular titles. There are still many great catalog titles which consider 'big guns' stil yet to be released.
At least this nice news/announcement is a good start :)

This is great news, bro Dave ... :D :D :D
Shops selling BD titles at "exorbitant" prices will surely have to make the necessary price adjustments if they want to keep up ...
Well one definite upside of doing it locally would be FASTER leadtimes. No need to wait around two weeks to get your hands on the BD babies.
Agreed. ;D
another upside would be the chance to skim thru several titles, just like what I usually do with dvds before purchasing.
-
800 sounds good.
-
Whoa!!!
reasonably priced
Coming from Warner, I'm confident their Blu-ray discs will come in excellent quality
just like their DVD's
-
pwede na! ;D ;D ;D

True, true... and this may just convince HD fence sitters (like me) to take the Blu-ray plunge. Fyi, Warner clarified that this price point is for catalog titles. New releases will be more in line with list prices abroad but hopefully those will be much lower than what we're seeing in local stores today.
-

Yes Dave...the time to convert to Blu is near.. :)

Hmmmm, I think you will no longer be in the "sidelines" anymore with prices of BDs now at "reasonable" levels. hehehe.
Anyways, just consider BDs as additions to your already impressive DVD collection. ;D ;D ;D
-
800 sounds good.
uyyy, nice comment from bro Matt .... This might be the "selling point/ticket" for you taking the blu route, eh? hehehe ;D
-
hmmmm... isip isip...
madalas nang magagamit ang PS3 sa lagay na yan...
when will this happen? December 2008.
we still have time to shop for BD players and PS3's :D
-
WOW 800? hurray for local BDs!!! ^_^ prang DVDs na when it started
-
As per Warner, the BDs that will retail here will all be imported - same as their DVD releases. They're the only distributor now that still imports everything.

if thats so then its great news to everyone that is after bluray. If they can sell at 800 per movie, then much better.
-
Even if new releases are same as the US list prices, it's still cheaper to buy locally as we could save "huge" shipping costs. :)
-
wow...great news! If quality is similar 2 USA then buying locally wil give us lots of saving!! :)
Savings?
Paul, you sound like my wife when there is a sale. She buys tons of stuff cuz she is saving money by buying more. I am pretty sure that's what will happen! ;D ;D
-
Can't wait, my first buy will be twister ;D

ha ha ha pag Sale tlaga people tend to get greedy by nature. Sometimes its much ok when things are expensive coz we tend to be selective in buying but when the word SALE comes rapid buying mode na mga tao.

Ano bayan? ;D "Cheap sale" is in our blood na :D
Example lang dto: With the same amount of budget instead of getting 10 BDs (tru import), now we could get 14 BDs locally....same amount spent but getting more BDs. Tama ba? :P

I think that's the theory.
The reality is that depending on the amount of "savings," you end up buying 15 to 20. ;D ;D

Will these BDs be pressed here?
It will probably be imported from Japan. As I heard, there is only 1 bluray disc factory in the world and its owned by Sony & is in Japan.
CD making machine= 70m pesos
DVD making machine=120m pesos
BLuray machine= :o :o :o m pesos
I met someone who was thinking of putting up a bluray factory here. But he is still thinking about it. $$$

800 is cheap! question is when kaya?
-
800 is cheap! question is when kaya?
That's relatively cheap na and even cheaper when sold sa PDVD marketplace... ;D ;D ;D
-
I just hope and pray that WARNER would heed our call. 800 is a great price wherein most early adaptors would agree to get them locally rather than abroad. It would also encourage other BLU willing enthusiats to go bite the bullet ad join the bandwagon. ;D
-
800 is a reasonable price for bluray, but are these of US quality?
As the Philippines (and the rest of southeast Asia+Japan & Korea) is ths same region A as the US, the BD titles will most likely be simply impoted straight from the US as it would be cheaper/easier that way for movie studios. More importantly, it's a BIG relief that Warner will now be distributing New Line titles (after NL was folded into Warner) so we can say goodbye to C-Interactive's crappy SD DVD releases :P

I'm anxiously looking forward for this to happen soon.

If Warner is reading this, it's a bit premature, but launching their Bluray line with Batman Begins 2: TDK would make a big splash. I remember Firewired saying that Batman (forget which) is their (Warner PH) all time bestseller, so it might make good business sense and a good buena mano (is that double positive? :) ) start to their Bluray line...
-
Just in time for the the eventual release of The Dark Knight Blu-Ray!
-
any updates as to when Warner starts shipping these? Hpefully they bring it Dark Kngiht limited edition and other limited eds as well ;D
-
yup updates please ;) also baka mayron na din titles na possible be included in the first batch of release :)
-
....so we can say goodbye to C-Interactive's crappy SD DVD releases :P
In a not so distant future, when higher HD standards are available, we may also be saying "...so we can say goodbye to Blu's crappy HD releases", it's an unending quest to perfection and more SARS!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Are they selling BDs at 800 pesos already? I'm eager to collect. ;D

Video City's Styrofoam display has 10,000 B.C. in DVD and Bluray (display material not the disc). Does it indicate that Warner had planned (or is still planning) to bring in 10,000 B.C. in Bluray?

That would be false advertising if it wasn't
-
up ko lang baka may balita na dito ;) approaching last quarter na kasi ;D
-
Mayron na kayang news dito? Last quarter of the year na kasi ;)
-
if ever, pareho kaya ang packaging nito sa US release? kasi di ba ang layo ng packaging ng r1 dvds sa r3?
-

Other than the type of keepcase used, Warner's R3 packaging for single/double discs is almost identical to their R1 counterparts.
Their boxed set packaging, however, is far bulkier and less attractive than R1.
-
hopefully before the year ends...I want to increase my collection drastically without making my wallet am cry :(
-
imported ba ito?
o baka naman pinoy version sya kaya cheap
gaya nung mga sa dvd
cheap yung case at pangit
minsan may mga vcd quality
wala yung mga speacial features
kung ganyan lng din wag na uuy
-
FrenzyBanana, we're talking Warner Bros. Philippines. ALL their R3 DVD releases are IMPORTED, and 99% have identical features to their R1 counterparts.
-
I second that. Warner is the closest thing we have to a U.S. counterpart when it comes to the quality of their releases.
-
When? ::)
-
FrenzyBanana, we're talking Warner Bros. Philippines. ALL their R3 DVD releases are IMPORTED, and 99% have identical features to their R1 counterparts.
That's good (& very comforting) news.
-
me difference ba ang r3 sa r1 bluray? nabasa ko kasi sa ibang thread mas maganda daw ang sound pag r1
-
me difference ba ang r3 sa r1 bluray? nabasa ko kasi sa ibang thread mas maganda daw ang sound pag r1
That's a moot point on Blu-ray region codes, since The U.S. and the Philippines are both Region A. As far as better sound on R1 vs. R3 DVDs, that's on a title-per-title basis, not a hard rule.

since bluray is region free, will we be able to differentiate which bluray is region 1 and 3?
-

Blu-ray is region coded not region free. Ours is the same w/ the US...Region A. So no need to differentiate US made BDs and "local" BDs.
-
No update yet from Warner, but I'll bug them for news.
-
since bluray is region free, will we be able to differentiate which bluray is region 1 and 3?
sir anya, there are only three regions for bds, its region a, b and c. north america, japan and south east asia belongs to region a. so if ever warner produced region a disc, bd players from the usa can play it. only bluray games are region free. :)

let me rephrase my question, how can we differentiate bds sold here and the bds sold in the states?

There are actually many Blu-ray Titles that are Region Free... Nakalimutan ko lang ang website where you can see kung anong titles ang region free..
-

hmmm. good questions, but since wala pang locally produced bds its hard to say. but it is a legitimate question, since we are now in the same region as the usa for bds, what will be the difference of dark knight bd from warner usa than lets say tdk from warner philippines. but i think just to keep the prices of local bds more competitive warner philippines might scrimp on the features. but this are the things we are looking forward to when warner does eventually release bds here, or it can be the same bds but warner philippines as official local distributor (in which case i think the bds will be more expensive than getting it through amazon.)
-

yes, doc oreo, i bet there are region free movie bds as well, but i think movies from major movie producers that makes the blockbusters will definitely be region coded. :)

Heard back from Warner: only the new Batman films will be released on Blu-ray this year. Target is December 8 for Batman Begins. No word on their 2009 release schedule.

Dark Knight kaya?
-
Yeah met with Warner earlier today and they corrected their update: it's The Dark Knight that's getting released on BD this December 8. The rest is up in the air because they need to get a better feel of the market given the minimum quantities that they need to commit to when importing HD titles. A major concern is the continuing unavailability of players in mainstream retail channels due to the reluctance of local hardware manufacturers/distributors to push Blu-ray aggressively.
-

Yahooo!!!! Thanks firewired.
I don't have a BD player yet but I'm getting this. At least when I do eventually get one, I'll have a disc to pop in the tray ;D

Here are the movies that are REGION FREE!! 544 movies released from the US. Of these, Warner Brothers has the highest number of released BDs that are region free followed closely by Sony Pictures.. ;D ;D ;D

I don't blame Warner seeming there is no local content being sold so why would anyone buy an overly expensive CD player? :P It's the chicken and the egg argument.
Tell them think of how many kids have a Playstation 3. Instant Blu Ray players there and then. Maybe we could do a poll on how many here has a Blu Ray and from that poll Warner could decipher whether it is worth it or not. As a sign of support I will buy one Dark Knight BD when it comes out.

-
Yeah I guess so. The most logical way to get into the BD bandwagon is via PS3. And still not everyone has a PS3 let alone a stand alone Blu-ray player. For consumers it's a toss up between the BD are too expensive or the players are too expensive.
-
I think they are tracking PS3 installations because a couple of months back, they asked for my opinion on PS3 market share in the local console market. Didn't have an answer for them though since I'm not really a gamer. Also, they've been informally monitoring BD disc sales from the more popular gray market retailers to guesstimate demand, so I'm fairly sure that some of our favorite sukis will selling Dark Knight sourced directly from Warner.
-
Imo, at 800 pesos these titles will sell. :)..Volume nga will probably be a problem. Based on hidef adopter thread here in pinoydvd there are less than 200 of us ata? We are already the fanatics I doubt there are more of us (hidef adopters) outside pinoydvd but I may be wrong. If there are it may be quite small.
Now Im just wondering if the 800 pesos will be the catalog titles of 19.95 dollars or lower in amazon. Dark Knight cost around 24.95 ata which is around 1,200 pesos. If Dark Knight is 800 pesos I will be first in line to buy one ;D..
By the way maybe we can find out if the sony bds that astro are selling are moving? That can be an indication of the market. But I think they are overpriced. Just my opinion

At P800 that will be a very great price. Even at the range of P1,000+ it's still more attractive to buy locally, not only cheaper but minus the shipping cost pa. ;)

if its a u.s. source bd of tdk, i would not be surprise if they sell it at 1,500+ per disc. ;D
-
If I were Warner, I would have bring some sample Bluray titles in limited quantities, gauge demand , then go full blast on titles like The Dark Knight. Guess it's too late for that. They could still get info if Magnavision will share their Bluray sales figures, but that could be highly unlikely.
But the fastest way to do it, given the short time frame, what they used to do. Launch a preorder drive to end in two-weeks, with extra cash-off or premium items. That would also pre-empt people who would otherwise order from Amazon...
Wonder if they will bring in TDK giftset... though given that's its limited and we share the same region as US, that could be a problem...
-

Doubt it since napaka konti lang ng selection nila and they dont have any displays/sections for their blu-ray,you'll need to ask their personnels kung meron silang tinda then lalabas nila list or the copies itself.But one good thing about them is they are cheaper than other stores here...prices are P1500 to P1700 only unlike the store where I buy mine which is P2000 and up but why buy at the store which has expensive prices? . . . because they're stocks are always updated.
If Warner would be selling BD's here for P800 only thats great, if they price it at P1200 were still lucky :D
-
Ok another update on Warner's Blu-ray plans here in the Philippines: they've been shelved for now. I'm still trying to find out more but it looks like this is related to the Philips decision to delay the launch of their players locally. Also, sourcing realignments abroad and the fluctuating exchange rate seem to have translated to much higher prices than originally expected. :(
-
Ouch. That might mean Bluray might be done for good here locally... The Dark Knight might have been the best reason to upgrade to Bluray for sometime... Philips' decision should not have been a reason, unless Warner people are badly informed... PS3 is the player of choice, and Philips' player even if released would have negligible market share.
As to sourcing and pricing, the fact that we are the same region as USA, means they can't do third-world pricing unless they repackage everything (ie with 'For Sale only in the Philippines) to deter re-export.
But in the same way, music distributor's reluctance to sell digital music in the mid-90s lead to boom in mp3 files, the reluctance to support bluray locally could lead to increased uptake of NMTs and probably means that Bluray might not gain a foothold (locally) for some time to come... just as DVDs still trails VCDs even if DVD is reaching maturity... bluray would trail DVDs when the next format (high-def legal download?) comes around...
-
Nandyan naman ang ebay!!! :P But I think to preserve the good quality of Bluray gear and software, I don't think it should be manufactured here unless the machines and processes are at par where it is currently manufactured. A good exeample is the audio CDs philippine edition, it sounds like S$#T!!!
Ok lang if Philips does not launch with their BDPs, they're products are lemons....I own a Philips TV and DVD ang labo ng reso, and bright ng tunog ng SACD/DVD player nila. Gheeezzzz ang LCD qualities, bagsak talagala compared to Sony, Samsung at maslalo na sa Sharp Aquous. Kaya they always have this annual Philips sale eh!
By the way, I saw the Sharp BDP, very nice but still expensive. Kudos to Samsung! Nice LCDs Series 4-7 and BDPs, more affordable pa!
If Philips attitude is to shy away from us since we are an "EMERGING MARKET", then I suggest that just keep mfg bulbs. Ang tawag dito sigurista! Poor decision philips executives!!!
-
I was supposed to handle Philips (Consumer Electronics) Marketing around 4 years ago. I declined the job and "buti nalang I did". But from what I understood, the Philippine market is so small, unprofitable and so late in technology, that they opt to bring the "nicer" products to richer economies. And the reason for the yearly sale is that, if they don't lower existing inventories, they cannot order/import the newer models.
-
it is a domino effect. Coz you can only see the difference betwen Blu ray and DVD if the tv you are using huge size LCD or Plasma. But for SDTV you will not notice the difference. And since the prices of good brand and big sizes of LCD/Plasma are still not afforable then. It is useless to upgrade to Blu ray player. Which means smaller market and not an ideal place to go full blast.
Hopefully this coming 2009 the prices of those expensive LCD/Plasma will continue to go down and so with the bluray player too.

Sabi saken sa Music One, this June daw magrerelease ang Warner. :)
-
Was in Music One this afternoon and was surprised to see a lot of warner BDs ;D. Saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, 300, 10000 BC etc. may Ghostbusters na din though not sure if it's from warner. Price is Php1,550.00.
Just backread this thread. It's sad to know that Warner was planning to sell BDs at Php 800.00. Sayang. With the Php 1,550.00 mas mura pa umorder online if you'll be buying more than 2 :-\.
-
Totoo ba yang 800 pesos lang ang isang Blu-ray from Warner? Or hindi natuloy at naging 1,550 pa din?
-

Hindi Natuloy sir Php1,550.00 ang current price. :P
-
Sayang naman. Baket daw hindi natuloy? Uhm kahapon nga sa Astroplus sa The Block SM North Edsa, ang mahal nung ibang blu-ray eh. 1,700 at 1,800 ung iba.
-
Yup, Warner's back in the market and BD is a priority segment for them. We should see more catalog releases in the coming months as the format builds momentum.
During the Warner re-launch, I also voiced my concern about the relatively high price points of their releases, and the VP I spoke to said that he expected adjustments later this year or early 2010. At the very least, they are open to working with Magna and PinoyDVD in developing special promo programs to entice members to upgrade to HD.

as always sir thank you for looking after us and our concerns. i for one was taken aback by the price points of several titles i was interested in. led me just to order on line. bundled w/ other titles, the R1's that i bought turned out to be cheaper even w/ shipping.
-
Yesman, Nights in Rodanthe, Woodstock, Benjamin Button. All available now in Bluray locally...
-
Sa astroplus kasi iilan pa lang ang Warner or masasabi kong halos wala pa ung magagandang titles like HP, TDK. Any news about those?
-
I've already scene some Harry Potter BD's in some Astroplus stores.
-
Saan pong branch un sir?
-
Trinoma
-
Is the price for the local HP BDs the same as the others? P1500+?

I think it's around Php 1550.

I have no idea. Dunno about MusicOne stores being bigger than Astro in general. One thing I've noticed though, is that MusicOne stores seem to be getting smaller. Take Greenbelt and Glorietta, for example.

Mas malaki po ang branch ng Music One Greenbelt sa Astro Trinoma pero mag kasing laki po siguro ang Music One Greenbelt sa Astro MOA. :)
Anu pa po ang ibang Warner Bros titles ang nakita niyo dun na maganda? Dark Knight po?

hi,
has anyone bought BD from our local stores like music one, or astrovision..
Napansin ko lang when i checked the BD titles, some titles have cover na parang xerox copy lang?
Wala ata quality sa packaging? tama ba ako sa observations ko? thanks.

Yup hindi na nga natuloy ang 800 pesos BD movies. Sayang yung iba na block buster 1700 mas mura pa rin order sa online 1200 lang or less. ???
