Hopefully, some talented fellow will make some matching covers for the HP collection. ;)

HD Digest says the list prices for Harry Potter 5 are: $39.99 for HD DVD and $34.99 for BD. I'm guessing it will end up being a combo disc.

I dont like combos, but the hd-dvd still sounds better with all the exclusive features. Im in for the hd-dvds of all 5.

Bourne Ultimatum will be coming to HD as a combo on 12/11/07.

No sir, I do not like it....that sucks, why oh why after releasing both 1 & 2 as regular non-combos must they screw it up now....

Let's see if they get it right when it comes to features, or if they take the "Knocked Up" approach and make a more feature packed standard def version...

As successful as the movie has been, Universal will not mess it up, as I'm sure they realize that it's a flagship title.

Amazon has Transformers up for sale now. The HD DVD 10 percent discount is active if you qualify for it.

I don't see why it's a surprise. Universal's standard operating procedure has been catalogue titles are not combos, new releases are.

Then what about all of these titles?:
An American Werewolf In London
The Breakfast Club
Dazed And Confused
Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas
Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Half Baked
The Scorpion King
The Thing

All catalog releases, and all combo discs.....granted there's a couple stinkers in there (I'm looking at you Grinch and Scorpion King), but I'd have bought 3 or 4 of the others if they just hadn't made them combo releases...

Mr. Cinema 09-08-07 01:38 AM

Bourne and Harry Potter on the same day. Whoa.

Their policy changed. All of those titles were released last year. I believe Brokeback Mountain was the last catalog title that was a combo.

BTW, The Thing was NEVER a combo disc.

Supermallet 09-08-07 05:17 AM

I believe The Thing was announced as a combo but Universal switched it to a non-combo. I also think it was originally announced with a TrueHD track that got dropped.

My bad, just went by the picture on HighDefDigest....

I hope they go the Warner route and rerelease the others I mentioned as non-combos soon! I'll be picking up Happy Feet and Superman Returns with the lossless tracks here soon thanks to them.....
I know Universal did with Army Of Darkness....then I'd pick up a few I mentioned...I'd definitely upgrade to high def Chappelle and Spicoli at least...

Don't forget Lost Season 3 on Blu-ray. It's available at a few e-tailers(including DVD Pacific) for 68 bucks and change, so I'd jump on that price if anyone's interested in getting it.

any approx. release dates to go along with these listed titles? Specifically Bonnie and Clyde and The Aviator.

JoeyOhhhh 09-09-07 10:48 PM

I enjoy how Dark Knights list price is $10 cheaper than Burton's Batman. Hopefully we'll see some of these announced soon.

Mr. Cinema 09-10-07 08:11 AM

Scorsese's The Aviator officially announced for both formats on 11/6.

gryffinmaster 09-10-07 12:24 PM

:lol: Well, I'm going to have to buy Batman again. Also, if that "Batman Anime" is a collection of the animated films (Mask of the Phantasm, Return of the Joker, etc), then I might consider that as well.

Outside of that, all the typically drool worthy titles look good to me as well, aka L.A. Confidential, Happy Potter, the individually released Matrix disc, etc. :up:

Giles 09-10-07 12:31 PM

I know that Warner's made an annoucement that a few older catalog titles would be new 4k restoration/film to HiDef transfers, Cool Hand Luke, Bonnie & Clyde, Sudden Impact, Magnum Force - any new news of additional titles?

New Line Jumps Into High-Def with 'Hairspray' on Blu-ray; HD DVD to Follow in 2008
Tue Sep 11, 2007 at 09:21 PM ET


Ending over a year of speculation, New Line has announced it is finally throwing its hat into the next-gen ring with 'Hairspray' this November.

The studio confirmed to the industry trades Video Business and Home Media Magazine on Tuesday that it will bow the $110 million-plus domestic grosser on November 20, day-and-date on Blu-ray and standard-def DVD. An HD DVD edition will follow sometime "in early 2008," though no exact street date has been set.

New Line says it will follow the strategy of its parent company Warner, and maintain a format-neutral approach by releasing titles on Blu-ray and HD DVD. Following the recent defection of Paramount to the HD DVD-only camp, New Line and Warner are now the only two studios currently supporting both formats.

"Clearly, there isn't a format winner at this point, so we’re going to adopt the strategy from Warner, our sister company, and mirror what they are doing," Matt Lasorsa, New Line EVP of marketing, told Home Media Magazine. "And by supporting both formats, we are giving consumers the ultimate choice."

Although New Line's dual-format support had long been expected, its staggered release of 'Hairspray' on HD DVD came as a surprise. Lasorsa attributed the delay to HD DVD's current lack of region coding.

"Since we sell to independent international distributors, we have to be more sensitive to their release dates than a major studio," Lasorsa added. "But for second-party acquisitions to which we don't have international rights, we will be day-and-date on all three formats."

New Line is expected to issue a full press release for the Blu-ray release of 'Hairspray' shortly, but early specs revealed to Video Business hint at a fully-loaded special edition. Among the extras shared with the standard-def DVD are the "You Can't Stop the Beat" documentary, multiple audio commentaries, deleted scenes, and a bonus dance number.

Exclusive to the Blu-ray release will be a "Behind the Beat" picture-in-picture video commentary similar to the popular In-Movie Experience feature on rival HD DVD. (When 'Hairspray' does finally hit HD DVD next year, it is also expected to include the same bonus features, plus additional web-enabled features.)

We'll certainly keep you posted as soon as the official press release for 'Hairspray' hits the wires, as well as all future New Line announcements. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, you'll find these preliminary disc details for 'Hairspray' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, under November 20. You'll also find the title under the "Release Dates Pending" section of our HD DVD Release Schedule. Watch this space!

Kocheese99 09-13-07 10:41 PM

Master and Commander is delayed/cancelled according to my distributor. Apparently, others online companies are reporting the same as well.

Arpeggi 09-13-07 11:13 PM

I'm just gonna wait to have the Fox HD discs in my hands before selling my SD discs. I got burned with Hannibal and Ronin.

Artman 09-14-07 12:07 AM

Hopefully they're adding the extras from the SE...

Could be. The Fly certainly changed dramatically from its very first announcement to the most recent one.

Mr. Cinema 09-14-07 08:43 AM

Upcoming Robocop BD will have a new transfer, but NO EXTRAS, except the trailer. I'm getting sick of this shit from Fox. Every other studio, most of the time, provides the dvd extras. There is no excuse to not include them. I'm skipping this one and holding onto the loaded 2-disc dvd.
