Warner Home Video and their PR partners-in-crime gather journalists together at fantastic events every quarter to present their upcoming wares. In this case, Warner’s Q4 offerings - a host of titles we’re expecting in the coming months like Rome: The Complete Series Box set, The Sopranos: Season One, Gone With the Wind, North By Northwest, The Hangover and the new offerings from the Harry Potter franchise, including the most recent film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as well as brand new Ultimate Collector’s Editions of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. This time around, however, they had more to say than just product introductions. They were all about Blu-ray!

Blu-ray Smarties!!!

There were Blu-ray demos, Blu-ray smarties, Blu-ray table settings and even a Blu-ray girl! All the reps were dressed like scientists and the room was gussied up to look like a lab. We drank Blu-juice from test tubes and marveled at an SD/HD comparison of the Wizard of Oz (It looks amazing! Took my breath away. Definitely a contender for Blu-ray disc of the year!) There was a lengthy presentation about the ins-and-outs of the technology and a Blu-ray collection giveaway. And as we departed, we were all given black t-shirts with a sound activated Blu-ray panel on the front.

The Blu-ray girl!!! Seriously…This girl is covered in Blu-ray discs.

These things are always a fun time. And lord knows, I enjoy chatting about movies and Blu-ray and movies on Blu-ray, so I kind of felt like Warner was throwing a little party just for me! Can’t wait for the next one!
