The Incredible Hulk Blu-ray brings Green Ray, BD-Live October 21
The Incredible Hulk Blu-ray is definitely getting a more thorough treatment than its barebones Hulk HD DVD distant cousin, packing U-control picture-in-picture and interactive features as well as a standard definition digital copy on a second disc. The 50GB Blu-ray disc includes the 1080p MPEG-4 encoded flick, a DTS-HD Master Audio track as well as BD Live chat, and scene sharing. Hopefully there's room for the hour+ additional footage hinted at by the director in previous interviews, but we're sure that won't stop fans from preordering to get the limited edition "Green Ray" 3D packaging.

So how many bd live or bonus view titles are there compared to HD-DVD's similar sort of functions?

I gotta hand it to Universal. They've taken everything they learned about interactivity while publishing HD DVD and done a fantastic job porting it over to Blu-Ray. Disney is the only studio that was only Blu who's even come close to exploiting interactivity to the same level as Paramount, Warner and Universal sold in red cases.
Blind buy for me.

It might be just me, but that case design is hideous.

this is kind of a weird place to ask it, but the movie wasn't too terribly long, 105 minutes or so...
but are studios that are using 50 GB discs finally starting to juice up the bitrate when it comes to the video, since some movies even w/ all the extras aren't going to eat up all 50 GB? Maximum pic quality would be nice

Is this the movie that came out in 2008 or the 2003 Hulk movie?
Justin @ Aug 27th 2008 10:05PM
I ask because the 2003 movie was called Hulk and the new movie was called Incredible Hulk.

Well the title does say Incredible Hulk. So I'm assuming it's the 2008 one.

I'm hopeful this will be the foot in the door that helps push forward an eventual broad abandonment of the blue stripe across the top of Blu-ray cases (let alone the blue frame that some also have). While an instantly and easily recognizable marker distinguishing the packaging from DVD, the blue packaging element has the disadvantage of calling too much attention to itself and distracting, even clashing, with the look, tone, and design of the movie cover.
DVD cases don't have this disadvantage, and can look however they want.
