Quantum of Solace Blu-ray ship date out ahead of theatrical release

by Darren Murph, posted Oct 10th 2008 at 6:59PM

Not that this curious scenario hasn't happened before with 007 films, but a full month and change before Daniel Craig wows audiences again as James Bond, we already know when said film will be waiting for us on store shelves. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Spain has reportedly confirmed that the DVD and Blu-ray release of Quantum of Solace will happen in March of 2009, though an exact date has yet to be chosen. Oh, and there's all those other Bond BDs hitting in just over a week -- fun, fun!

I'm sure theaters are thrilled to hear this... talk about being screwed by your supplier!

I have to say, I'll be seeing Bond in theaters before I watch the movie at home. The screen and sound in the theater make my setup look like an Emerson portable DVD player.

Am I the only one confused by the story?

It says the Blu-ray and DVD will be released in March 2009 before the movie, but the movie poster says November 2008 for the film's release.

Have there really been any Bond films where the VHS/DVD was available before the movie was in the theaters?

Highly Ranked

The release of shipping date comes before the movie hit theaters.

Thank you -- this makes sense. That being said, who the #$%* cares? I care when I can *buy* the movie, not when they say it will be made available. Sheesh.

To tell you the truth I don't really care what "they" say, 99% of movies come out on DVD and Blu-ray within 4-5 months after the theatrical release, so what "they" say is irrelevant. Its not the 80's and 90's we are no longer waiting a year or more for movies to make it to video.

Wow! This is amazing! Is this a prelude to the death of the movie theater, and the home theater being the new king?

Awesome! I wish it would be out sooner. I can't wait for my home theater to bring it to live when it finally makes it on Bluray. Who needs a movie theater? Buy you a good set and you will never go to a movie theater again, ever. Because you would be a part of the movie, if you know what I mean, not some distant screen with surrounding noise called surround sound at the theaters. And the best of all, you don’t have to worry about strangers, filth and all the distractions in the theaters. Movie theaters is becoming obsolete, it’s a matter of time.
