When will we see The X-Files: Fight the Future on Blu-ray?
Has anyone heard if 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment plans to tie this into the forthcoming sequel? 2008 is also the 10th anniversary, so I hope we'll see a Blu-ray release announced at some point this year.

(That's the only one I have, and it - upconverted - is good enough for me!)

Can we save the Fox bashing for titles where it's warranted? We don't need it in speculation threads, thanks.
As for the TV show, I might be wrong about this, but I believe the first several seasons were all shot on video and would not benefit from and HD transfer.

All said, the DTS verison is pretty bang up so I would hope that they retain all of the additional content or else no sale for me.

If it were getting updated for Blu-ray, I'd expect it to come out around the release date for the second film in theaters.

Funny story - the second time I went to see it there, Tarantino was there with a few people. What makes it funny is the guy I was with was a waiter at a place in the village where Tarantino ordered drinks from him and then left to go across the street before they came to the table. My friend had to pay the tab, so we were needling him to go ask for his money, but he didn't do it unfortunately.
EDIT: Release date to theaters was 6/19/98.

The later X-Files (16x9) seasons look fantastic upconverted to me. Easily some of the best looking SD to my eyes with my set-up. Lots of widescreen anamorphic TV looks stellar upconverted. It's amazing. I would not replace any of them.
I wouldn't be surprised if Fox tested the waters with this series on HD, though. Certainly makes sense to release the previous movie.
