From a lot of reports I read, Fox was tied with Warner, in that Warner was a Fox HD DVD yes away from going HD DVD exclusive. That would have left BD in the same position HD DVD is in today, maybe not dead because of Sony's $$$, but on life support. So I do think it was close at some point to going the completely opposite way.

It's complete! Let's get those announcements rolling.

I can't believe it was only a couple of months ago that I was comparing which studios were behind which format before I ended up buying into red. It's shocking how fast things progressed since that first week of January.

now my search for a low priced XA2 begins...

Nice!

Paramount has already announced SEs of all four Indiana Jones films for May, timed to the release of the new one.

PLEASE PARAMOUNT GIVE US BLU VERSIONS TOO! DO IT!

This really isn't needed either. Please, just report the problem posts and avoid becoming insulting.

usually when I note Dead makes a comment it seems like the evitable closure of a thread - How appropriate of a moderator name.

I don't think it's that simple. I would be willing to bet that those special editions are just the original set split up with the bonus features pertaining to a particular film only included with that film. Does that make sense? A BD release would take a lot more work. My guess is we won't see those until the fourth film comes out on home video.

Crap - I guess I better make moves to get rid of my SD DVD Indy set!

Is it just me or does that Paramount statement sound very smug? What a bunch of assholes.

I'm 38 if you must know, and i LOVE NIN. I'm not disrespecting him, I'm just having fun with that line from the song. Get a life buddy. And may I ask, how old are you?

I'll take that bet. If I remember correctly, the bonus features on disc 4 were not dealing with the films individually. Rather, they were featurettes covering different elements (music, effects, etc.) from all three films blended together.

OBI George posted this a week ago:
so something may indeed be in the works.

I think it's LucasFilms decision and not Paramounts... of course I could be wrong. Paramount also last December put a SE of 'Braveheart' yet never announced a HiDef version - come on Paramount, ante up here.

relax man. I didn't mean to sound as bitter as I did (I thought putting "classic" in quotes would show that... my bad).

practically 26 years (and on my way to hell )

I didn't get that tone from their release. I don't think any company wants to put out anything that doesn't sound positive for them. I'm just glad they'll be back on Blu-ray.

I'm not here to brag or boast, just to let you know what Howard Stringer said in a recent statement to all Sony employees.

Transformers. Blu-Ray. NOW.

You got it, dude:

Also Pixy, I like your city in your details.

Happily, I don't have to demand.

No, I think he means one that will play on a player they are still making.

I KIDDDD, I KIDDDD!

No the main documentary definitely had three parts to it. There were also separate featurettes dealing with music and a couple other things I think. But the point is they could easily just split up that main doc and then scatter the rest of the bonuses. We'd essentially get a 3-disc or 6-disc collection of the same 4-disc set we all already have. But still. No bluray, no buy.

I doubt LucasFilm really has any say in it. It's not like he owns Indiana Jones like he owns Star Wars
