Its funny that Best Buy dropped te price down this week on this film and a couple others from Warner.
I ended up purchasing it for $14.99 - Very well worth it! Also, has anyone noticed how incredibly difficult getting 'Frighteners' on HD DVD has been to obtain - The only way you can get it is by ordering it. |
It's hard to get any "smaller" catalog titles at B&M's, since they're hesitant to use shelf space for them and take away from the newer releases which are more likely to sell. You can easily get the Frighteners and any other catalog title at most online retailers.

Universal will be releasing "Knocked Up" in an HD DVD/DVD combo day and date with the standard release. No solid release date yet, but the HD DVD is going to feature the "U Control" that Universal has used on other releases.
Looks like it's most-likely going to be a Sept. release, BTW. |
holy mother of god - Wings of Honneamise is up for preorder at Amazon (street date: Sept. 11) $79.99 MSRP !!!! at least Amazon brings it down to $56 bucks and I have a 25 dollar certificate I can use - but jeesh... talk about expensive.

New Blu-ray added to DVDEmpire:

Woot! Underworld extended.

Just another confirmation for the 9/25 titles. I can not wait for Underworld!
http://dvd.themanroom.com/dvd-newsview.php?id=625 'Memoirs of a Geisha,' 'Underworld' and 'TEKKONKINKREET' Coming to Blu-ray Disc July 17, 2007 Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced that in addition to releasing 'Black Book' on September 25 on Blu-ray Disc, they will also release the catalog titles 'Memoirs of a Geisha,' 'Underworld (Unrated)' and the Japanese animated film 'TEKKONKINKREET' on Blu-ray Disc the same day. All three films will be presented in widescreen 1080p video and feature PCM 5.1 lossless audio, though 'TEKKONKINKREET' will be presented strictly in Japanese with English subtitles. |

http://dvd.themanroom.com/dvd-newsview.php?id=00626 Home Media Expo Reveals 'Harry Potter,' 'Blade Runner' HD DVD, Blu-ray Disc Pricing July 17, 2007 The Home Media Expo is cranking along in blistering hot Las Vegas, and we're now starting to see some high-def news trickle out. In particular, a couple of mega-box sets have been confirmed complete with lofty SRPs. We've known Warner Home Video had plans to release Blade Runner and all five Harry Potter films on HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc this fall, but we didn't know what configuration those releases would take. Warner has confirmed all five Harry Potter films will be available in a monster HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc box set for a cool $149.99. And you thought 'The Matrix Collection' was expensive! Our guess is 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' will be available separately, while the other four years will only be available (initially) in the box set. In addition, the much-anticipated 'Blade Runner' release will span a whopping 5 discs on HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Warner did not reveal pricing for those versions, but with the standard DVD 5-disc set clocking in at $78.92, we expect pricing right around the $100 mark. With Comic-Con just around the corner, be on the lookout for more big holiday high-def release news to pour out over the next week and a half. |
BCI gets into high-definition
BCI Home Entertainment will street its first high-def title on both HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc Nov 13, with releases of Ultimate Force, an action film starring Ultimate Fighting Championship and Pride champion Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic. |

Great to see Sony will be releasing something made before 1990.

The Reaping is coming on 9/25 to Blu-ray and HD-DVD.
http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/sh...ay,_HD_DVD/795 |
Well, Warner has been pretty good lately on including the same HD audio tracks on both formats, and DVDactive has the Blu-Ray covers and it certainly does indicates a TrueHD track for The Reaping BD, so hidefdigest looks to be wrong in this case.

Cool, thanks. I like that cover.

It matters for every release, we should be getting lossless audio on as many discs as possible, especially new releases.

Although I find most of AVS useless, this thread was actually somewhat interesting:
"Hamlet on Blu-ray: Is It Coming Or Not? The Answer..." http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=878804 The answer is apparently "not right away." Disappointing...hopefully they actually do release it early next year. They're doing it with Alexander, so there's hope.... |

BTW, Amazon Unbox has this for rental for $2.99, for those of us who don't want to wait to rent the DVD. |

Bram Stoker's Dracula has just been added at DVDEmpire for Blu-Ray on 10/2. Since it's streeting the same day as the new DVD SE I'm assuming it should be the special edition as well.
http://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_ite...6114&searchID= AVS and blu-ray.com are also mentioning some upcoming Warner titles (assuming both formats here): Poltergeist SE (10/9), Twilight Zone: The Movie (10/9), and Return to House on Haunted Hill (10/16) Figures, as I just managed to snag a laserdisc copy of The Twilight Zone Movie. |
If it's any consolation, I watched The Twilight Zone: The Movie in high-def on HDNet Movies, and it really didn't look that great.
|
Well, hopefully it's gotta look better than that ancient P&S laser I got :). I only paid $10 for it on Ebay, but it took a long time for it to pop up.

Wow, Poltergeist was expected, but not Twilight Zone. Even if it doesn't look all that great, might as well get it in HD since you're not replacing a DVD.
|
Yeah, The Twilight Zone listing was a shocker for me. I had just given up waiting for a DVD all these years, hence the laserdisc search.
|
DVD Active announced the dvd special edition of Chinatown for 11/6. I think jiggawhat mentioned this coming to the HD formats. I really hope they debut with the dvd.
