DVDTown has posted specs for the BD of Independence Day:
* Widescreen Theatrical Feature
* Scene Specific Commentary by Director Roland Emerich and Producer Dean Devlin
* Commentary by Oscar-Winning FX supervisors Volker Engel and Doug Smith
* Trivia Track
* Search Content
* Personal Scene Selections
* Alien Scavenger Hunt (Java Game)
* D-Box
* Second Session
* Theatrical Teaser
* 3 Theatrical Trailers
Sounds like Fox dropping the second disc from a two-disc set again...and no seamless branching for the extended cut? Unfortunate.

With that ID4 information, my list of Fox BD's to purchase drops to zero . I probably would have caved and still bought it if it had the extended cut. Maybe I can score the few I wanted off of eBay for decent prices a little way down the line.

Columbia House has listed Superbad - Blu-ray for 12/4/07, which confirms the information in matome's highdefdigest link above. And — perhaps because it is a two disc set — the list price is a stunning $43.95!
It would appear that Sony wants to give Fox some competition for "most overpriced titles".
I thought prices for BDs would be coming down a bit by now. Guess not. Instead they are going up.

I'm really glad I never bought Pan's Labyrinth on DVD. That'll be a great film to watch in HD. I'll most-likely end up getting the Blu-ray over the HD-DVD, though. Thanks for the news.

Even if it is 2 discs, it's a catalog title so it should be cheaper than Superbad.
