Mr. Cinema

Amazon.com still shows the 2/6 date. I hope they change it since I'll be buying it there.

I don't know what's up with amazon. Out of curiosity I also checked buy, dvdplanet, DDD and even Walmart and they all list it as 1/23, which definitely makes a lot more sense.

Hammer99

Doesn't make sense to me either. Then again, lack of extras didn't stop a lot of people from double-dipping on Superbit SDs for the improved PQ/AQ.

Mr. Cinema

I'm still confused over Kingdom of Heaven. That's a 3 hour movie on a BD-50 that contained no extras from the 4-disc set. It was encoded with MPEG-2 and had a DTS Master Audio mix, but damn if that took up almost 50 gig, that's kinda scary.

Artman

I'd probably buy into BluRay much sooner if Fox's releases had the video based extras of their SD versions... All well, will wait for the double-dips in in a yr or two.

I still dont get why we dont have a release date for Harry Potter GOF here in the US....I assumed it was going to be Dec 5th. But, I would think they would have announced it by now.

Thunderball

I finally joined the HD revolution. With my 360 add on.

I'm fighting the urge to buy movies I want on DVD now, when I know in a few months they may be released in a better format.

DavisDVD has info on all the upcoming Lion's Gate blu-rays and they seem to be packed. Of interest are the all DTS-HD tracks, BD-exclusive extras on Saw III and HD extras on Reservoir Dogs. Sounds good I'm so looking forward to American Psycho.

Mr. Cinema

The Descent looks like it's also going to be a great BD. That 6.1 PCM track should sound amazing. Sounds like LionsGate is on the right track now. Too bad Amazon.com still doesn't have this up for preorder.

digitalfreaknyc

Nope. Don't contain all the extras...ESPECIALLY American Psycho. That's in my Top 10 ever and even I'd be hard pressed to buy it if it came out with these specs.

joshd2012

Awesome news! Looks to me like they are sticking with MPEG-2. I wish they would provide some lossless/uncompressed audio, but the DTS will be fine.

Mr. Cinema

Here's a positive review for The Mummy. Audio and Video gets 4/5.

The Prestige, Ladder 49, and Reign of Fire on Blu-ray 2/13:

Id pick up Reign of Fire.....Isnt the Prestige WB?? If so, it might be on hd-dvd too.

EDIT: Looks like its WB overseas at least.

bboisvert

Disney distributed this domestically.

digitalfreaknyc

So we'd probably get it overseas.

in true typical form my local BB doesn't have 'Ant Bully' in stock according to BB's website...

Adam Tyner

For lower stock items, I wouldn't put much faith in BestBuy.com's availability listings. I've checked BestBuy.com several times for new releases, gotten a goose egg, and then seen those titles on the shelf when I went anyway a few minutes later.

Speaking of overseas, play.com has listed their UK Blu-Ray preorders with coverart and below are the ones that haven't been announced for the U.S. yet. I went to try and order Snatch and found out they don't ship to the U.S. WTF? Guess I'll have to wait for amazon UK to add these

Giles

Wow! This should look amazing in HiDef!

digitalfreaknyc

uhh...they don't have either of the Superman movies NOR the SD DVD boxed set. Seems like the only one they DO have in stock is Superman Returns.

digitalfreaknyc

It's not news. They never have shipped to the US.

Giles

actually, BB's website does say "Superman II - Donner Cut" is in stock... go figure... bracing for my weekly Tuesday lunch break BB fiasco.

digitalfreaknyc

I'm double dipping on all my BB bucks from Mcd's so i need these to be picked up in store.

RockStrongo

According to IMDB its newmarket...I remember the commercials showing WB for the theatrical run, so I didnt see it because I assumed it would be on hd-dvd and bd from WB...oh well, it looks like BV has the distribution rights for media.
