Although I'm very excited for both of those and must have them, I was hoping The Incredibles would have been one of the two new titles.

I wonder if these will include upgrade rebate offers for owners of the DVD versions. I doubt it, but it'd be nice.

Kuroasawa on Blu (Ran), BSG complete series, and now an additional Pixar title which just happens to be Monsters INC? This is probably one of the best weeks ever for BD! On a related note, The Art of Pixar Short Films arrived today, thumbed through it and it looks great.
