Typically speaking, artists wait a good while before releasing a greatest hits record, but
Warner Home Video isn't waiting around for
either format to start falling off the map before unleashing a few "Best Of" box sets. Apparently targeting newcomers to the high-definition film realm, the
Best of HD DVD and
Best of Blu-ray volumes will consist of four movies apiece, and will include a wide variety of titles from relatively new releases to classics like
Goodfellas. Reportedly, three different volumes will be available in each format, and all of the box sets are slated to hit shelves on September 18th (just before holiday shoppers crank up the abuse on those credit cards, no less) for $84.99 each.

Wasn't this news posted on HighDefDigest about a month ago?

Why are they focusing on "best of" sets already when there really aren't that many titles on either format to make people take the ultimate switch from DVD to [insert new format here.]
I started buying HD DVDs quite some time ago but quit once I had all the releases I wanted. Every thing I ever want to see seems to go straight to DVD with no announcement or plan for an HD DVD or even a Blu-ray release.

I think they are just refering to the Movies themself.. So some may be new to HD-DVD or BRay
If that is true, its a good idea.. Esp. for the classic movies..
but pricing..
I guess its really not that bad when you break it down..
