Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III

Dog Soldiers is up for pre-order at DVDEmpire. $19.98 retail price.

I wish other companies would price their Blu-rays like First Look (I also wish there was a "sigh" smilie I can put here)

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III

HBO has announced the US DVD and Blu-ray Disc release of True Blood Season 1 on 19th May 2009. From creator and executive producer Alan Ball, True Blood chronicles the backwoods Louisiana town of Bon Temps... where vampires have emerged from the coffin, and no longer need humans for their fix. The series is based on the Sookie Stackhouse book series by Charlaine Harris.

Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) works as a waitress at the rural bar Merlotte's. Though outwardly a typical young woman, she keeps a dangerous secret: she has the ability to hear the thoughts of others. Her situation is further complicated when the bar gets its first vampire patron - 173-year old Bill Compton (Steven Moyer) - and the two outsiders are immediately drawn to each other.

Priced at $79.98 SRP on Blu-ray Disc, extras include:

* BD: Experience Exclusive New Blu-ray features with True Blood Enhanced Viewing:
o Get the dirt on everyone in town with Lafayett
o Find out how your favourite vampires were made
o Read helpful hints and much more!

I can't wait to watch "Suckie" and "Bell" fall in love in 1080p and lossless!

List price isn't too outrageous.

Another for True Blood. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III

Eh, even with Amazon discount, it's 55.98. Could we see some Band of Brothers type sale on this set is the question.

I agree. There is no way I'd buy this for the price you just mentioned.

Season Two of Dexter Coming This May
Posted February 6, 2009 01:20 PM by Josh Dreuth

Paramount Home Entertainment has revealed that they will bring 'Dexter: The Complete Second Season' to Blu-ray on May 5th. The set will feature all 12 episodes in 1080p AVC accompanied by a 5.1 Dolby TrueHD soundtrack. The release will be BD-Live enhanced, giving viewers to additional content like featurettes, podcasts, and the first two episodes of the Showtime series 'The United States of Tara' and 'Nurse Jackie'.

Very pleasant surprise to see Paramount releasing this quickly. I'm assuming season 1 sold pretty well for them to do this.

Sold well enough to get Season Two (unlike Prison Break not getting Season 2 and skipping to Season 3 being Day and Date with the DVD). The BD-Live special features still blows. As for sales numbers...no. I do know Paramount has plenty of TV on BD releases prepped for announcement Obviously they already announces Star Trek but others should be coming soon.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III

I'd say that rumor will be fact pretty soon. LionsGate's original release was very subpar. And the current disc has been available for a blowout price of $10 for a few months. And of course, that new flick is heading to theaters in May...

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III

Need to check out True Blood first and then think about buying but will be all over a new T2, got rid of the BD awhile back in anticipation of a new release.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III

FYI, Amazon.co.uk has many Blu-ray titles for a new low price of £8.98 which were £10.58 or more on their B2G1 Free sale which ends pretty soon. This helps with shipping costs. For example, I put 6 titles into my cart, and all 6 titles shipped would be $10.83 a piece. Not as good as the Buy More Save More, but you also get a much larger selection of popular titles and not-so-popular titles as well.

As far as I know the disc features a Dolby True-HD track in addition to the isolated score track .

Are we sure the isolated score track isn't the one in True HD, like the HD DVD was? And the actual movie track not just DD?

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III

Does anyone know if Kingpin has been officially cancelled or delayed?

I still see it on a few release lists for March 3rd, but no online site has it listed. Even though something like Silence of the Lambs isn't on Amazon, I see it several other places, so I'm confident.

Of everything that has come out as with an official date at some point recently, Kingpin is the only one I can't find a listing for and is looking more like Braveheart and My Best Friend's Wedding, although I'm not sure they ever had specific release date, but Kingpin shows 3/3.

My Best Friend's Weeding had a date last September and cancelled, but Braveheart has never officially been announced.

I don't know what's happened to Kingpin.

It looks like both Gran Torino and Frost/Nixon will be arriving on April 21. This according to reliable info on blu-ray.com.
