Plus, I would think they would have to let at least one title out into the wild with BD+ before we know if/when it can be cracked.

I may pass on a few of the aforementioned titles if Fox pulls their $40 bare bones BS again. I'll also pick up Die Hard 4 if Fox releases an R-rated cut.

I'll pick up all four Die Hard movies for sure. Maybe Bridge of Britain and A Bridge Too Far. I'm interested in some of the other movies too, but I'd like to wait for an announcement of price and features first and maybe even some reviews.

I'm hoping that the listing for 28 Days Later is a mistake, and they actually mean 28 Weeks Later. As mentioned above, except for the last few minutes of the movie, 28 Days Later was shot on Standard-Def video and won't benefit at all from an HD transfer.

And hopefully they'll drop DTS-HD MA in favor of PCM or TrueHD. Regardless of extras, I'm willing to pay for Fox's releases if they have great transfers and lossless audio, just as I am willing to pay that for Paramount, Universal and WB's $40 titles.

I just hope Fox lowers their prices. I would buy a good chunk of those if Fox lowers their catalog MSRPs to $30. If not, I'll buy them used or wait for an Amazon sale.
