There's probably going to be an article claiming that the Blu-Ray sales would have been higher if the working-release of the movies was not leaked on the net before the movies release date in theaters.

Why? there is no point of having 2 high def formats.

I don't know about anyone else but though I enjoyed this movie...............the X-men franchise was way better. I mean, this wasn't horrible but it wasn't FANTASTICS either but nothing compared to the originals. Just not nearly as entertaining.
