DVD Times has an interesting report up about the BDA press conference at IFA in Berlin.
Along with BD Live presentations, there are reports about Disney’s plans for Blu-ray over the next few years.
I read over at DVD Times that the details for the US release of The Incredible Hulk have been announced.
Universal Studios Home Video will release the US release The Incredible Hulk Blu-ray on October 21st priced at $39.98. The movie features Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth and William Hurt.
After listing both 2 and 3 Disc Editions for Prince Caspian, it looks like Disney is doing the same for Wall-E.
The Wall-E standard 2 Disc Edition will be released by Walt Disney Video on November 18th, 2008.
Retail will be $35.99, only $24.95 at Amazon.
Neil Young’s Archives Volume One 1963-1972 collection is planned for release on November 3rd.
The Blu-ray/DVD collection will cover 10-discs and is expected to contain live sets including the 1971 show Live At Massey Hall and the 1970 show Live At The Fillmore East.
In the most recent Home Media Magazine, Disney is advertising their third and fourth quarter Blu-ray releases.
The two page advertisement gives the release date for Wall-E as November 18th and Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian as December 2nd.
The advertising also states that Nightmare Before Christmas, Wall-E as November 18th and Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian will all feature a Digital Copy, hinting at iPod compatibility.
We have an eclectic set of new titles listed for pre-order today.
First up, 20th Century Fox is planning to release the Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott movie Dude Where’s My Car on August 26th, 2008.
Retail will be $39.98, only $27.95 at Amazon.
It is somewhat of a surprise to me to read of new Panasonic Blu-ray players planned for the holiday season.
It is a surprise since Panasonic is one of the few, if not the only player manufacturer to have both a Bonus View and a BD Live Blu-ray player in their line up already.
The feature list for Iron Man on Blu-ray Disc has been revealed in a press release from Paramount and it looks like they have pulled out all the stops on this one.
The Blu-ray Disc version will be a two disc release with all of the features from the DVD included in High Definition.
The first disc will include the movie complete with lossless audio, Deleted Scenes, a pair of featurettes and a BD Live feature called Iron Man IQ.
Still want those player prices to drop more before getting your first/next player? NEC wants to help you out.
NEC Electronics has announced the first single chip solution for Blu-ray Players, code named EMMA 3PF.
People are talking more about interactivity and network based features (BD Live) with respect to movie releases these days.
In the latest Home Media Magazine I read a couple of interesting articles in this vein.
