Wow... what the hell is up with all of the cancelled BDs?

Sure thing...make it cheaper since it has less on it. There had to be some cost associated with making these extras.

Instead of $28.99, make it $26.99 and give the BD supporters a bit of a discount for not including the extras.

Of course, I know its ridiculous, but again, im just saying I would be pissed if I was solely a BD supporter and wanted this movie.

themanroom has the blu-ray covers up for Blood Diamond and it thankfully has a PCM track. No back cover for the HD-DVD yet.

Well, at least they're not making it $39.98 and not including any extras. I was surprised when I saw the $30 MSRP, I thought it'd be at least $35. Kudos to Warner.

Nice to see catalog pricing on Blood Diamond. The HD DVD is listed on Amazon for $19.95.

DVD Empire has the back cover of Blood Diamond on HD DVD. It shows Dolby TrueHD.

Weeds: Season 2 Blu-Ray 7/24

V for Vendetta was priced as a catalog title about three months after the DVD release, so I wasn't surprised to see BD handled in the same way.

That's interesting that Weeds on BD will be the same price as the DVD. That's something I didn't expect to happen for a long time (if ever), so that is a surprise. Now if they could just do that for movies. :)

I'm excited for both seasons of Weeds.

Good to see more foreign and genre titles being released.

I just saw this in the theater last night, though, and it looked and sounded like complete ass.

The movie itself was also way overhyped. :(

Warner Home Entertainment has announced they will bring the Drew Barrymore-Hugh Grant romantic comedy 'Music and Lyrics' to Blu-ray and HD DVD on June 12.

The musical hit, which earned nearly $50 million during its theatrical run this past winter, will hit both next-gen formats in a special edition boasting numerous bonus features.

Among the extras are a making-of featurette, deleted scenes, a gag reel, and a fictional music video featuring star Hugh Grant, in character.

Tech specs include identical 1080p/VC-1 transfers on each version, plus Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks (at 640kbps). There will also be a stereo-only isolated music track, which includes the many mock-pop songs used throughout the film.

Warner has set a $34.98 list price for the Blu-ray version, and $39.98 for the HD DVD, which will be a combo HD DVD/DVD release.

Did anyone else order Nutty Professor from Amazon? Looks like they sold out of their pre-orders already, now it says "ships in 4-6 weeks".

BD releases: Wild Things, Flatliners, and The Patriot on July 3.

Mine shipped yesterday, I'll have it today. On the other hand, I'm still waiting for them to send me The Jerk. :down:

regarding Meatballs being pulled (from Sony Pictures BD Insider on avs):

"SPE went to a lot of trouble to re-transfer this title, but the results are still not what we want. We will probably be hold it back until we have a chance to try a few more techniques to get the most out of this classic title."

Thought this movie was pretty funny. I have the 2-disc dvd, but I'm not sure I would need this one in HD.

Huh, you don't want to see The Goat or The Brain in hi-def??? :)

Oh they also have Music and Lyrics for BD/HD-DVD listed for 6/12
