I do....(still have a HD DVD player, that is)....I just looked over at the shelf at all the other Universal titles I have that are still format exclusive and am waiting to be released....hell, I haven't even repurchased a few on BD since they turned out to be "downgrades": Apollo 13, The Thing, etc....

I am honestly shocked that Mallrats still hasn't been ported over and released yet though....I mean, for a catalog title, you'd imagine given Smith's hardcore loyal audience, it would sell better than something like "Darkman" or "The Skeleton Key"....even Disney, who is ridiculously stingy with their live action catalog releases, gave Clerks and Chasing Amy the BD treatment....

Selfish bastard. Next time, please list the titles that other people want the most.

Big Daddy

Maybe Universal will finally release those 3 Sandler flicks they've been sitting on for 2 years. (and Sony with Punch Drunk Love)

Meet the Parents &
Meet the Fockers

Charlie St. Cloud - Nov 9
The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010) - Nov 30

The Frighteners 10/26

I might triple-dip on this one, depending on the PQ.

Restrepo 12/7

Amazing. Wasn't expecting this one on BD.

I might pick that up just for the Laserdisc Documentary (assuming it's been ported over).

Spectacle: Elvis Costello with... - S2 on 12/7

Oh gees, Sony just canceled Big Daddy on Blu-ray. So for 2010, they have a total of one catalog title announced.

I don't know why they even announced Big Daddy originally. I mean, catalog sales were bad when they announced this title. I wonder what changed their mind?

I have River Kwai pre-ordered. If that doesn't sell well, then I don't expect to see Lawrence of Arabia for a long, long time.

Same here (crossing fingers).

To tie-inwith Grownups. Get it? Big Daddy. Grownups. It's like the same thing.... Sucks as I actually like Big Daddy.

Now Sony (or Criterion...) where is Punch Drunk Love?

But why pull it now? They knew catalog sales were terrible before announcing the title.

No idea. Past few weeks of sales were really bad?

Despicable Me - December 14th

Available in single BD and BD/DVD/DC/BD3D combo editions

Speculation here, but they may have possibly dropped the general release in favor of retailer exclusive.

I'll probably buy this. But I thought BD3D already includes a 2D version. I wonder why they are putting in a regular BD as well. I believe Disney is doing this with A Christmas Carol.

But a title rarely gets canceled because of that. We typically don't even know a title is a retailer exclusive until the ad hits (like the Lionsgate wave).

Very odd. I wonder if something went wrong with 3D and 2D on a single disc idea. Or they are just going to up the MSRP because of the extra disc ("value").

I thought the specs said it was required to have a 2D version on any 3D disc. Maybe not...

I think it's just that the home video market isn't saturated enough with 3D yet to the point that studios are comfortable doing 3D-only releases.

It's also possible that there isn't enough room for all the special features/lossless audio on the 3D release, and the 2D one is the "loaded" edition.

One "problem" with watching a 3D Blu-ray in 2D that I've read about is being able to notice the alternating fields if you don't have your TV on overscan mode. Essentially, during some frames you'll see a small "black bar" on the left side of the screen, and during other frames you'll see that same bar on the right side of the screen. Not a huge problem, but from what I've read, it can be annoying. I don't know if this is an issue with all 3D BDs or just some.

Also I've read contradicting reports on "Despicable Me." Some places say it's a Single-Disc BD release and a 4-Disc release, while others day one release is 3 discs, and the other is 4, just adding a 3D disc but identical other than that.
