The X-Files: I Want to Believe BLU-RAY 12/2/08

Fox Home Entertainment has announced that 'The X-Files: I Want to Believe' will be their first Blu-ray title to make use of BD-Live features. Due to be released on December 2nd, day-and-date with the DVD release, the disc will include many web-based features as well as a BonusView commentary with director Chris Carter.

The first BD-Live feature, called "The X-Files Dossier", will allow users to create a special-agent avatar that can browse through Agent Dakota Whitney's case files on clairvoyance and post their own notes and theories. Viewers will also have the ability to help Agent Drummy solve several forensic challenges. These challenges are expected to be posted weekly for first few weeks of release.

In addition to the above mentioned BD-Live and BonusView features, the disc will also include an interactive timeline featuring more than 80 video clip segments from the franchise's archives.

I'm surprised they didn't also announce a BD of the first film.

I didn't like this in theatres but I'm willing to give it a second chance on disc now that my expectations have been lowered... will definitely rent it at least - hopefully the BD live stuff is better than what we've seen to date...I've been very underwhelmed with BD live.

The Digital Bits stated that the first film will also be released on that day, which is strange, as they seem to have gotten all of their info from that article, which doesn't mention the first movie. But it was likely a reasonable assumption.

I thought Fox's re-release of AVP was going to be the first of their BDs to have BD-Live.

The digital archive sounds awesome.

Due to what I believe is some bizarre shipping issue, I picked this up on Friday night at Walmart up here. They had 4 copies. C$32.98 and includes a digital copy. I did not know that a BR 2-pack was going to be released (for ~C$47.99 on Amazon.ca), so I will take this one back and get that in December.
