Will they offer a replacement for my crappy Full Metal Jacket disc?
I guess we officially have the first hi-def double dip here.

Either way, its a good thing.
Or, I guess it could just be a fluke and he is only releasing this due to the remastering and will take his films on a case by case basis.

Paramount Postpones 'Zodiac' Blu-ray, HD DVD to Prep Additional Bonus Features
Paramount Home Entertainment has announced it is postponing the September Blu-ray and HD DVD release of 'Zodiac' to prepare a more feature-packed special edition.
The David Fincher serial killer drama was originally announced for a day-and-date debut with the standard-def DVD version (which just hit stores this past Tuesday, July 24), but the studio later postponed the next-gen versions, giving them a new date of September 18.
Now, Paramount has informed us that although the title has been pulled from its Blu-ray and HD DVD release schedule, the studio is currently beginning work on a far more robust, feature-laden special edition of 'Zodiac.' This retooled set will include the extensive involvement of Fincher himself, and given the well-received DVD special editions of his past work including 'Fight Club' and 'Panic Room,' it should be worth the wait.
