Looks like we can expect Bottle Rocket and Chungking Express in November.

Notice how there's an oddly-placed rectangle of grass on the middle of the standard DVD artwork for Bottle Rocket. Looks like they might have crafted the art for the BD, then extended it a bit for the DVD version.
Oh, and I can't freakin' wait for Chungking Express in high-definition.

Also, they've already said they'll only be releasing about 2 per month.

Looking forward to it!

I doubt the DD5.1 track is for the BD release. At the very least I expect a PCM or TrueHD track from them. Still, I'll bite the bullet and buy the BD regardless if its a standard DD5.1 track. Love the movie.

Great news to start my weekend!
I'll have to add Chungking Express and Bottle Rocket to my BD collection. I'll pass on the others and keep my SDs for now (and I'm sure I'll break down and purchase those soon enough
)

While the special features are mostly carried over for the Blu-ray versions, it's worth noting that the Last Emperor specifically drops any mention of the extended television cut for the BR release.
