This has been posted on blu-ray.com by Bill Hunt. The sucky part is the delay of Master and Commander, but check out the titles he mentions for a June '08 release:
"Just a heads-up, we've confirmed that Master and Commander has been delayed from 2/5 until June as part of a marketing effort to create a large Blu-ray Father's Day promotion from Fox and MGM. The good news is that Patton, The Longest Day, The Sand Pebbles, A Bridge Too Far, Battle of Britain, Mrs. Doubtfire and other titles will also be released on Blu-ray as part of this promotion."

I may consider picking up M&C if the extra's youve said are encluded... I wasnt the biggest fan of this picture. But it was a huge scale Weir film.

EDIT: HD Digest had featurettes listed, but it's actually 5 deleted scenes.

Out of all those, the one they decide to release on BD is...
Mrs. Doubtfire.
Wonderful choice, Fox. That's just a wonderful choice, and I'm sure most fathers love it. What could go better with those war films?

They should release Blu-ray editions of Arrested Development. Then we can see Tobias as Mrs. Featherbottom and we'll never even need a Blu-ray of Mrs. Doubtfire.

They AD all the time on HDnet, but to me it wasn't a big improvement over the DVD. Maybe it would be better on BD.
Either way, these days it seems there's always a sale on Fox sets that would allow one to get the complete series for around $50. I spent $60 and I would have happily paid double. Yet another criminal cancellation by Fox a la Futurama.

Hmmmm, what happened to "Across the Unvierse" BD? It WAS available for pre-order at Amazon but has now changed to "Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available."
*edit* It's back up now.

Call me crazy (and maybe I am because I am already starting to upgrade to Blu-ray and sold off a bunch of my DVDs), but not many of these titles are making me go nuts. I don't exactly see the average Joe saying -- "Battle of Britain??? Mrs. Doubtfire? That's the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm upgrading to Blu-ray." Now if we're talking Lord of the Rings or The Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind -- that would be some serious stuff.

Yep, I was lucky enough to get in on that FYE Mrs. Doubtfire SE before they pulled it and was loving the ability to see it with an anamorphic transfer. Can't wait to get my hands on the Blu version of it.

Amazon still has it as 3/18, even though the BD has been updated to 2/5. So I guess it's a 6 week difference now.
