I thought it was getting two releases? A single BD and a loaded edition.

Blu-ray.com has the feature list. Also, Amazon's listings show a 3-disc BD/DVD/DC combo pack, AND, a 4-disc BD/3DBD/DVD/DC combo pack.

The 4-disc set is $7 more currently.

I don't plan on getting a 3D set for at least another year, but I may make a future proof purchase and just get the 4-disc set now. It's nice though that Universal is still providing a non-3D combo pack version.

Wow. 3D owners can just sell off the single BD for an easy $12-$15. Plus sell off the DC and DVD.

They have that option. But I am thinking the regular BD has most of the features. Maybe that's why it's included in the 3D set.

Oh probably right. Looks like disc space is going to be an issue.

50GB isn't enough.

But it also allows them to slap that big "Best Value" sticker on the front. "Look! 4 discs for only $34.99!"

Per The Digital Bits, Lost in Translation and Backdraft: Anniversary Edition will arrive on 1/4/11.

LiT got delayed again? Gees.

They sure better... a lot of HDTV's wont work with the new 3D playback. Mine won't even though it claimed to be 3D future-proof (they used a different format for displaying the images in those settings -- and no adapters either). So a release option that forces you to buy a 3D Blu-ray would make them ultimately lose a lot of sales IMHO. Plus, aren't there other people out there (like me) that just don't really see much of a point?

It'll actually be worth all the delays IF we truly get both of those titles so early in January.

Well hopefully it doesn't get delayed again as I've been looking forward to Lost in Translation...

You can apparently get Lost In Translation on 12/7 if you order from Amazon.

Is Digital Bits a reliable source?

I've been checking around for anyone to have started a Backdraft thread (seems like the kind of film people would be excited about) and I've seen nothing.

I know LIT has been delayed a lot, but still I don't tend to let myself excited until multiple forums are "talking" about the release.

So is it premature to even believe DB and that Backdraft will be mine on January 4th.

HD Digest provided the same release date for Backdraft.

Thanks!

It's on Amazon with that same date too.

It depends if you count the 87 times they tried to be the first to announce the imminent release of Star Wars on DVD years before they came to fruition.

Micmacs (Jean-Pierre Jeunet) - 12/14

Crap news that My Dog Skip got cancelled. Big Daddy now this and many others plus the ones supposedly sitting around ready to be released but for whatever reason not. Sucks.

I know others have much higher priorities and so do I, but every catalog release is important to me. I want Freeway on blu! The more the better so another cancelled title blows. I just don't get this format. Especially why studios announce something and then don't follow through. They had to know MDS wasn't going to be a huge seller.

But I'm guessing neither was Secretary or Hard Candy and they got great releases. I don't get it.

Got this from Amazon.fr about two months ago. I love this film. It's like the male version of "Amelie".

I thought it was just delayed until Jan 25?

A new round of Universal titles went up on Amazon; no dates yet, but likely in the new year (unless they show up as exclusives during the holidays):

Billy Madison
Happy Gilmore
The Blues Brothers
American Graffiti

...and

Ray
To Kill A Mockingbird
A Beautiful Mind
National Lampoon's Animal House
Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Geez...where the hell is Out of Sight?!?!?!
