Tonight’s list of new releases covers a variety of genres, including Anime and music releases.
FUNimation has announced the CGI Anime title Vexille for Blu-ray on November 4th, 2008.
Retail is set at $34.98, pre-order at Amazon for only $21.99.
I see a large number of new titles listed today, including some surprises from Paramount/DreamWorks.
Dreamworks Video has The Heartbreak Kid coming to Blu-ray on December 16th, 2008.
Retail has been set at $29.99, bargain hunters will find it at Amazon for only $21.95.
Perhaps Amazon ordered too many of the very popular Transformers release a month ago today - regardless of the reason they are currently listing this title for $19.95 - a little under half the retail price!
This is an excellent 2 disc Blu-ray release and includes BD Live features as well as picture in picture Bonus View.
The AVC 1080p video stream averages over 30 Mbps and the audio uses the lossless Dolby TrueHD codec.
This is a great chance to get this title with an excellent discount!
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.
Iron Man on Blu-ray is selling very well just one day before its official street date.
At Amazon today, this 2 disc Blu-ray release is the top seller in the DVD section, maybe due to Amazon taking an additional $2 off the price, making it $25.95, or 35% off retail! Certainly a great price for such a release.
Weinstein Company is releasing their first Blu-rays this week.
The first Weinstein Company title is the thriller 1408, which is $20.95 at Amazon.
They are also releasing the Frank Darabont movie The Mist, which is $23.95 at Amazon.
The Godfather Trilogy Box Set has been set back to $61.95 today - representing a saving of just over 50% off the retail price.
The set was discounted last week as part of the Paramount sale I mentioned, but quickly came back up to 40% discount and then the typical 30% - all in the same day.
I have no idea how long this sale price will last - I can tell you right now that this time I placed my order immediately!
Amazon is going sale crazy this month is seems.
The latest sale involves Paramount titles - including The Godfather Trilogy for only $61.95!
Update: The Godfather Trilogy is now $74.95.
There are also many titles for $14.99, including Lara Croft - Tomb Raider, The Untouchables, Shooter, Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games and Face/Off.
A great opportunity to fill in some back catalogue! Full list can be seen after the break.
September is going to be a great month for Blu-ray Disc releases - watch for an article soon highlighting what to expect!
For this week, Warner is kicking it off with a number of new catalogue releases, which interestingly enough are already one sale at over 45% off at Amazon!
Clint Eastwood fans will be happy to see the release of Every Which Way But Loose ($15.45) and The Gauntlet (also $15.45).
Looks like the UK is getting some new Blu-ray release announcements ahead of the US again.
