I’m not getting it until in drops in price. 30 bucks isn’t worth it unless I’m going to watch it 5 times.

The amazing thing is that Paramount had a major defective issue that they kept fairly quiet last week. The first run of disc would have problems playing on Blu Ray players that are enabled to go to the internet (almost all of the Sony players as well as the PS3 machines) Paramount rushed new disc to make it to the stores in time BUT did not recall the defective disc so Sony owners (myself included) had a hit or miss with the release. Some were able to get the updated disc while others had to go through 5 and 6 rounds of returning the movie before they got one that could play. My copy would not play. After reading several blogs I reset the BD Live setting on my PS3 to confirm before playing. After that the movie played fine. I decided that rather than go through the return cycle, that I would simply live without the extra content that you get with the BD Live. Paramount would later claim that the disc were not the problem but rather the servers that the extra content were slammed and caused lock ups of the disc. The new disc would allow you to access the movie without having to download or reset your system settings.

I’m just wondering how many of those BRD’s were given away as freebies with the purchase of BR players… I know in Canada, Best Buy and Future Shop are giving them away, so those numbers of actual sales of Iron Man might be a bit more skewed than you think.

Just curious about the comment “I was shocked to see how well Iron Man was received in theaters”. What was it was about the movie that you didn’t think people wouldn’t like, besides the fact that it wasn’t batman.
