Fox titles... massive price. Can't wait. Wonder what version/special features we'll get of these.

About fucking time!

Let's hope we get all the extras from the previous releases.

Been waiting for these! They're up for order at DVDEmpire already, including The Last Stand so I wonder if that's a new version?

I'm going to guess that X-Men: The Last Stand will now be on a BD50 and include all the extras from the region 2 2-disc dvd, and feature BD Live. DVD Empire states all 3 movies are 2-disc sets. I wonder if that means digital copies?

Knowing Fox's history of releasing featureless blu-rays, let's hope they don't consider a digital copy as THE only extra.

Missed the 2-disc info, so yeah I would imagine digital copy discs are in order. I highly doubt I will double-dip on The Last Stand, as I was pretty happy with the original disc and don't bother with BD Live stuff.

Those early Blu-ray ads were always touting the BD interactive stuff with the X-Men movies and the transfers looked pretty sweet.

Fantastic news, I loved the first two. Doubt I'll ever buy the third.

Re: XMEN and XMEN2 - APRIL 21st

I'm sure Fox will release a boxset of all 3 films. Being a completist, I can't imagine only buying the first two and not the third film, even though - well, you know.

That's getting close to being ancient history. They've been more consistent about including all extras from the dvd releases over the last several months.

Jeff Kleist from the Digital Bits confirms that all extras will be included.

2-disc set, lots of extras, and a unique BD-Live feature

**BD-Live: Purchase X-Men Origins: Wolverine theatrical ticket which unlocks 2:40 minute scene from Wolverine

Hypothetically they've integrated with Fandango or something to do this, more details coming when we get them

$34.99 each

Re: XMEN and XMEN2 - APRIL 21st

if they're porting over all of the 1.5 extras, i really hope they don't title the release "X-Men 1.5"

I've always thought that was annoying. As much as I love the image on my steelbook, I hate that its says "1.5"

Re: XMEN and XMEN2 - APRIL 21st

This is great news!

I've been holding off on buying the third one in hopes of a box set. I even took it off of my Christmas list.

Yeah this is all around great news. I just put up my X Men Last Stand Blu-ray up on Amazon in anticipation of this.

Re: XMEN and XMEN2 - APRIL 21st

blu-ray .com reports


In an early announcement to retailers, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment has revealed that they will bring 'X-Men', 'X2: X-Men United', and 'X-Men: The Last Stand' to Blu-ray on April 21st. All three titles we be delivered as two-disc sets with 1080p AVC video and 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks.

No special features have been revealed at this time, but you can expect to see at very least all the extras from the previous special edition DVD releases.

Astute Blu-ray fans will remember that 'X-Men: The Last Stand' has not only been previously released, but was also the first Blu-ray title to be released by Fox back in 2006. It is unknown if this new two-disc set will be an extension of original release, or a completely new encode.
