Chronicles of Narnia: LW&W Blu Ray- When?
Was wondering if anyone had any inside scoop on this title. Word is it looked jaw dropping on a demo at CES but no word has been forthcoming since.

Let's hope they aren't saving it for the sequel's release, which isn't until May '08. I would say we'll see it around Christmas time this year. Since there have already been 3 dvd versions, I wonder what they'll take from those, plus will they give us the theatrical or extended version? I'm betting theatrical.

Most, if not all of their releases after the 2 initial waves have ported over all of the standard DVD extras.

From the AVS BD tech spec thread
Alien Vs. Predator MPEG-2 1:40:41/1:48:35 32,437,949,827
Well I finally got this disc and in case anyone was still wondering here are my findings:
There are NOT two encodes of the movie. It is definitely true seamless branching. The movie is split up into about 35 different files. Which all add up to about 30GB.
I am also going to have say that Fox is short-changing themselves when they put 18Mbps on the back cover. Based on what I've seen it is actually in the mid-20s. Around 25Mbps maybe. I've noticed that at least a couple of other Fox movies have been way off in what they say on the cover. See Transporter 2 and Fantastic Four for example.
With all the split files and the seamless branching I can't really do an exact calculation though. I updated my list with the other information.
