I've got no problem with that.....

U should press the display button of your LCD monitor not the PS3.

For Immediate Release

BARAKA SELECTED FOR BLU-RIBBON PRESENTATION AT BLU-CON 1.0

Restoration Producer Christopher Reyna to present

Chicago, IL - December 4, 2008 - The Blu-ray that Roger Ebert coined as “the finest disc I have ever viewed or ever imagined”, Baraka, will be showcased on December 8th at Blu-Con 1.0 in Beverly Hills, as announced today by the MPI Media Group. The first of its kind, 8K UltraDigital HD Baraka will be presented by restoration producer Christopher Reyna on behalf of MPI Home Video.

Baraka was released in 8K UltraDigital HD Blu-ray in October 2008, and has received non-stop critical acclaim ever since. Blu-ray.com coined it as “the current zenith of Blu-ray picture quality”, and Home Theater Magazine called it “one of the most breathtaking Blu-ray titles available”. The trades have been buzzing about Baraka as well, with Home Media Magazine saying the film “sets a new standard on Blu-ray disc” and Video Business said “Baraka vividly shows what hi-def picture and sound is all about.”

Christopher Reyna will be presenting on Monday, December 8th at 4:15pm at the Beverly Hills Hotel during the Blu-Ribbon Showcase at Blu-Con 1.0.

The MPI Media Group is a leading independent producer, distributor, and licensor of feature films, news documentaries, concert performances, classic television programs and more.

Blu-Con 1.0 is a one-day conference advancing the creation, production and distribution of Blu-ray Disc. This workshop is designed to provide a forum for industry insiders to share their perspectives on innovative technologies behind the Blu-ray format. It will also be an unprecedented gathering of movie studios, and their service provider partners, to discuss how to advance the marketplace, build technology relationships, and increase efficiencies in the manufacture of Blu-ray Disc products.

'Knight' tops annual sales in 1 week

Batman DVD sells 13.5 million copies

The top grosser of the year is about to become the top homevideo seller of the year. During its first week of release, "The Dark Knight" sold more than13.5 million discs across all retail channels worldwide, and set impressive standards for the next-gen Blu-ray format.

According to Warners, "The Dark Knight" sold more than 1.7 million Blu-ray discs worldwide its first week. Although comparisons are tricky given the elusiveness of worldwide sales data, "The Dark Knight" is now considered the undisputed Blu-ray champ, given the strong bow.

The studio also projects that "The Dark Knight" will become the bestselling 2008 title overall this week. Consumers have bought more than 10 million copies of the pic, with the remainder of purchases by rental outlets.

Warners released "The Dark Knight" in six territories last week -- U.S., Canada, U.K., Japan, Benelux and Australia -- and included purchases from all those regions in its worldwide tallies. The homevid bow of "The Dark Knight" has been closely watched due to concerns over how the economy would affect DVD and Blu-ray purchases. With the homevid biz running behind last year, there has been added pressure on big releases this holiday season to hit their marks. Last week, Warners said U.S. consumers bought 3 million copies of "The Dark Knight" on Dec. 9, its first day in stores, with another 2.5 million believed to go into U.S. rental stores.
