Warner Home Video will be releasing Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Blu-ray Disc on November 11th, 2008.
This is the recent animated Star Wars movie, which was a disappointment with less than $35M domestic box office.
The retail price is $35.99, pre-order at Amazon for $26.95.
Amazon is having another 3 for 2 sale starting today - this time it is a great opportunity to get reasonably pricing on Fox and MGM titles.
Be sure to not mix and match the price points, since no doubt it will be the least expensive item that comes for free.
Titles include Master and Commander, I, Robot, Hitman, Independence Day, Live Free or Die Hard, Rescue Dawn, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Patton and Predator.
MGM is planning to release Amityville Horror on October 7th, 2008, in good time for Halloween.
This is the 1979 version of the movie - which if I recall correctly was rumoured for last year but never release.
Retail has been set at $39.98, bargain hunters will find it at Amazon for only $27.95.
Amazon is now taking pre-orders for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull on Blu-ray Disc.

A number of new releases today from studios big and small…

Universal Studios will also be releasing Strangers on Blu-ray Disc on October 21st, 2008. Retail again will be $39.98, the Amazon price is $27.95.
The US box sets of the James Bond movies have been listed today - where the UK gets a single box, here we will get a pair of box sets.
MGM is releasing James Bond Blu-ray Collection Three-Pack, Vol. 1 and James Bond Blu-ray Collection Three-Pack, Vol.2 with a retail price set at $89.98, saving roughly $15 per box over the individual pricing. Pre-order at Amazon for only $62.95 per box.
Following the pre-order listings in the UK, Amazon.com has now listed the six eagerly anticipated James Bond movies in the Blu-ray format.
While it is not listed yet, we can expect a release date of October 21st, 2008. Each of the titles, Dr. No (James Bond), From Russia with Love (James Bond), Thunderball (James Bond), Live and Let Die (James Bond), For Your Eyes Only (James Bond) and Die Another Day (James Bond) carries a $23.95 price tag at Amazon, which is pretty good for MGM titles. Retail is $34.98.
Still it would be nice to see a box set with a reduced overall price. Well keep you posted if one shows up.
A small follow up to yesterday’s James Bond dates for the UK.
There is also a James Bond Blu-Ray Collection Vol.1 box set planned by MGM Entertainment for release on October 20th, representing good savings over the individual purchases. No doubt the best way to purchase these for collectors like myself.
