The Italian Job '03 Remastered/DTS-HD - March 23

Hopefully we'll get more upgrades from Paramount in the future.

info comes from a blu-ray.com thread.

Meh. I have the HD DVD and have no plans on upgrading for lossless.

I really like this movie, so I'll probably get it eventually. I've held off on the current BD because of the lossy audio and the video that wasn't well thought of in reviews. Since both audio and video are getting an upgrade, it will now be worth it to upgrade from DVD.

The video is supposed to be remastered as well.

I chuckled a bit when I realized so far, in 2010, Paramount has released 2 Blu-rays and both were re-releases (Godfather I and II). Now they are re-releasing another movie and only have a few planned for March (Up in the Air, South Park S13, African Queen). This is like Universal 2007 HD DVD slow.

I'll likely pick it up when it hits $10; I remember the current edition being a pretty mediocre encode when I rented it from Netflix.

Hopefully they'll take a look at some of their other titles like Sleepy Hollow and Mission: Impossible (although that one may wait until M:I 4 is out).

Would much rather have the original on Blu in the US.

Then you're one of very few members in that club given the response it received when originally released on HD.

I'll get it as I never got the HD DVD. But I really want the original on BD.

I'll also stick with the HD DVD, it was dirt cheap and good enough for how often I watch it.

Another one who hopes this will lead to more remastering (and including lossless audio) on previously released BD or HD DVD titles.

If it can be had for $10, I'll go for it. I have the HD DVD (got it free) but it skips during the same scene.

Who's that in your photo Adboy151?
It looks like the offspring of Jay Leno and Antonio Banderas.

Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson from his mullet years in the '90s.

I'll wait for the reviews -- although I want to pick this up.

It sucks that so many titles got rushed with shitty transfers and/or lack of lossless. Got this title free anyway with the five free back in the day so I'll be willing to spend a few buckos for it.
