Awesome. Big props to Universal for seemingly keeping all the extras and cuts of the film on the BD. One of the few that I'll pick up on release date without waiting for a deal.

Blind Buy for me... nice to see Universal going with AVC.

Instant purchase for me.

You can strike the first "r" from Nick Stoller's name. Not that you made the mistake, but just FYI.

Hopefully their Blu of Virgin will have everything from the newer 2-disc set, and then I'll just get the Apatow 3-pack, even though I'm not big on Knocked Up.

Can we expect Knock Up out around the same time?

Same day, along with 40 Year Old, in a 3 pack to boot.

Wow, that's going to be an expensive day for me. Great day though.

Definitely purchasing this.

"When life gives you lemons, just say 'fuck the lemons' and bail."

"The weather outside is weather."
"Well, I'm off to find the mythical 'clit-oris.'"
"I didn't tell you I had herpes because it's not inflamed at the moment."

I will own this one. Oh yes, I will.

"Let me just say that if God was a city planner he would not put a playground next to a sewage system!"
"I need to B my L on someone's T's."
"Are those sad tissues or happy tissues?"

Yeah, I'll be there on day one.

Stop quoting :(

I have yet to see this.

Wow Universal actually put a trailer on one of their discs, I will probably pick up the 3-pack.

Can't wait for this one. One of the best movies of the summer.

So psyched just to finally have Kristen Bell in Hi-Def :drool:

Mila Kunis I think actually outshone her and was hotter in the movie.

^Agreed. I loved this movie and can't wait for the BD...glad to hear Universal is pulling out all the stops.

Love, love, love this movie.

How can a mobile phone have an agenda and kill people?

Truth.

Great film. A lot of people missed out on this at the box office - I hope it gets more attention on home video.

This is awesome news...I'll be getting this. And if the other two movies have all their previous features and cuts, I might get them too. The Knocked Up HD DVD for some reason didn't include all the stuff from the 2-Disc DVD.

Knocked Up and 40 Year Old Virgin will have both the rated and unrated cuts.

nice to hear this

Yeah, it would be nice to have clarification that the double-disc sets are gonna be the ones appearing on Blu. I'd hate to find out that we only got the one-disc Virgin features.

Easily one of the best releases of a theatrical film this year. Packed with tons of features!

I don't know why it doesn't show up in a search, but I had a thread created awhile back:

http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=535545

I thought I saw a thread before...and searched...but nothing turned up. Very odd. Feel free to merge/delete this.

P.S. This is coming with a slip cover! Woo Hoo!

Too bad Knocked Up/40 YO do not... :-(

Universal is certainly doing a great job with their BDs so far. DTS HD MA on all discs and providing some nifty slipcovers. Makes WB look even more pathetic since they're still releasing titles with DD 5.1 audio.

I'd much rather have a TrueHD track as nearly every BD player can decode it...but no biggie. They certainly are emerging as the best BD studio this year though.

Is it confirmed that Knocked Up/40 YO will be both Rated and Unrated cuts for BD?

On a similar note, still no pre-order for the 3-pack at Amazon. :(

Oh boy, a visual commentary, a video commentary, a theatrical commentary AND an extended commentary!

I presume these are all the same thing.

I'll be getting the three pack.

Yes, blu-ray.com mentioned before that both cuts will be on both discs. I am very happy about that as I clearly prefer the rated cut of 40 over the unrated. I can finally get rid of my rated dvd.

Looks like these BD catalog titles will be keepers for me then. Everyone keeps raving how much better the Rated cut is on 40 YO...Guess I'll cut my 40 YO slip cover to fit over the BD and just remove the HD DVD from the spine :lol:

Audio differences mean nothing to me for these releases since its a comedy. I can't imagine DTS MA being much of an improvement over DD+ for something so dialog driven.

I can't wait to hear Steve Carell's waxing in DTS-HD MA! Demo material!

Posted my review on my blog, can't post links though.

Didn't want to start a new thread for some catalog releases but...

I should be getting my copies today so I'll go over exactly whats missing. Really, really lame.
