Why does that matter if they offer a Dolby TrueHD track instead?

Universal's official PR lists it at $99.98. The $79.98 is either what they're selling it for (20% off SRP) or it's a typo.

I didn't see that part until now.

300 and Heroes on HD-DVD for me.

Awesome news for hd-dvd! Both will be great!

bunkaroo 05-15-07 04:25 PM

Wow lots of good stuff announced. I'll get Sea Of Love for sure.

Elizabeth and What Dreams May Come are also great picks. Since Universal is releasing the Elizabeth sequel to theaters, I'm sure they'll go day-and-date.

Nice Blade Runner flyer too!

And count me in for the 300 BD. No combo and TrueHD - nice.

So no combos for Heroes then? Might have to get it after all.

RockStrongo 05-15-07 06:39 PM

^ You wont get the IME though with 300 BD....maybe you dont mind though.

That sways me over to HD-DVD, otherwise, id go for BD too.

QuePaso 05-15-07 06:57 PM

300 on BD for me.

matome 05-15-07 07:46 PM

300 and Narnia BD's for me. Glad I decided to stick with my Criterion laser of Blade Runner for all these years.

Some Early Details of 'Hot Fuzz' HD DVD/DVD Combo

Hot Fuzz isn't exactly announced on HD DVD yet but it will be, soon. We've some early details about the HD DVD/DVD combo release in our hands right now. As usual, the main feature is presented in 1080p High Definition OAR video with Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 audio tracks. It will be released day-and-date with the DVD release (which I believe is a 2-disc set.)

Besides that, if you liked the film, then you can expect the HD DVD/DVD Combo release to be pretty packed with supplemental materials. The list includes:

- Deleted Scenes (20 minutes worth) with Optional Audio Commentary by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright
- Outtakes
- Visual FX Comparison Before & After
- 12 Video Blogs including The Lost Blog
- We Made Hot Fuzz
- Dead Right Special with 2 optional audio commentaries by Edgar Wright, and Nick Frost & Simon Pegg respectively
- Art Department
- Here Comes the Fuzz
- Simon Muggs
- Flip Chart
- Flick Book: The Other Side
- Plotholes
- Domestic & International Trailers and TV spots

We've been told by informal sources (take it with a pinch of salt) to expect U-Control interactive experience feature on the disc, though I'm unable to seek official confirmation on that as yet.

YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS~!(Hopefully all these features are there as well as the UK Release's 4 Commentaries)

I don't mind. Haven't used one yet, and don't really plan to unless it's LOTR or SW. I recognize the appeals for others though.

Jailhouse Rock and Viva Las Vegas to HD DVD and Blu-ray on 9/18.

fryinpan1 05-16-07 08:19 AM

I was hoping Jailhouse Rock would get an HD release, so I will probably buy that one.

Skoobooz 05-16-07 03:14 PM

Someone on another forum stated that the flip side to the Blade Runner insert indicated a Kubrick Collection also coming soon to HD DVD and BD.

I can't seem to post it (how does one post a JPEG?), but it exists and shows pictures from Eyes Wide Shut, 2001, Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket and The Shining. They were also indicating at the other forum that FMJ would be a remaster (allegedly). Some were speculating that Barry Lyndon and Lolita might be left off, but I'm hoping that they were just left off the ad, as their images aren't as strong, ad-wise. Hopefully it will be all seven....

I think WB said in their Home Theater Forum chat a few months ago that some Kubrick films would be hitting HD-DVD/Blu-ray by the end of the year. An HD version of the Collection would be great though. Good luck securing Dr. Strangelove for HD-DVD though.:)

that'd be great since I missed 'Barry Lyndon' on HDNet Movies

Hmmm, well, we may not be getting Barry Lyndon or some of the others just yet. That ad just shows the four titles that have been rumored for the past year or two for DVD release, along with Full Metal Jacket. It may be a mini-collection. Hopefully we'll get a new master for FMJ, but I wouldn't be shocked if it's the same disc.

Skoobooz 05-16-07 05:49 PM

I'm still holding out hope for Barry Lyndon and Lolita. And given all the bad press they got for FMJ, it seems odd that WB would release it again with the same problem (especially if, as rumored, it does have some special feature content). It seems like the perfect opportunity to fix the problem.

Doughboy 05-16-07 05:59 PM

Well it does have the 2 most important titles for me, 2001 and A Clockwork Orange. And I wouldn't mind having The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut(Unrated) in HD. I already have Full Metal Jacket, but I'd have no problem double-dipping if the transfer was improved and there were some extras.

Including the Stanley Kubrick Life In Pictures documentary wouldn't suck too much either.

fryinpan1 05-16-07 06:24 PM

I hope those Kubrick titles are released individually. I only want The Shining. I would be willing to buy the set and sell the ones I do not want, but that would be an added hassle.

RockStrongo 05-16-07 06:53 PM

2001 on HDnet movies looked SPECTACULAR. Id love to grab that one, the Shining and Eyes Wide Shut.

I'd buy those one's you don't want... :)

DigitalBits is now reporting combos for Heroes S1. If true, it just went from a buy to a rent for me. :thmbsdwn:

That would explain the much higher price tag. I really wish Universal and WB would stop with all the damn combo nonsense. Especially on a TV series. Those suckers are pricy enough already without adding a feature 98% of us don't give a rat's ass about.

Supermallet 05-17-07 05:01 PM

Combos for a TV series? Weird.
