Warner includes download-only iTunes Digital Copy with 10,000 B.C. Blu-ray {Engadget HD}
Jun 26th 2008 12:10PM I never really understood the extra disc. Once you download the movie, it's just a coaster. I prefer what Warner is doing here.
Back to the Future destined for Blu-ray release? {Engadget HD}
Jun 4th 2008 12:44PM Somehow I never got around to picking these up because of misframing problems on the DVD. So I'll definitely pick 'em up on BD.
DVDPlay to add Blu-ray Discs in movie rental kiosks {Engadget HD}
May 29th 2008 6:15PM I still prefer netflix to these kiosks, but it is cool to see BD going widespread.
My only worry is the little old lady who inadvertently rents a Blu-ray Disc and can't get it to play in her DVD player.
Pushing Daisies: Season 1 arriving on Blu-ray in September {Engadget HD}
May 29th 2008 3:52PM Between this, Heroes, and the recently announced Firefly BD, my wallet's going to be hurting. But its nice to see the studios get serious about TV on BD.
Blu-ray releases on May 13th, 2008 {Engadget HD}
May 12th 2008 2:42PM I don't know anyone who pays the SRP on Blu-ray, or for that matter on standard DVDs. Most of the DVDs in the $20 range have an SRP of $29.99. And DVDs were once at at $39.99 SRP (believe me, I know. I worked at a chain called Suncoast when DVD first came out, and the average selling price was about $29.99-39.99, depending on the studio).
It's relatively easy to find titles about $10 below SRP if you don't actually buy them out of the studios' online stores.
This week, I'll be picking up Narnia and Master and Commander. I'm glad its finally coming out- Ive been waiting for M&C for months!
Poll: Have you purchased a Blu-ray player post-fallout? {Engadget HD}
May 7th 2008 12:05PM Just picked up the DMP-BD30 yesterday. I have a PS3 in the other room, but since I don't really use the web features yet, I'm really liking the Panasonic better (if only because it works with my Harmony without a workaround).
Batman: The Movie makes a Blu-ray first {Engadget HD}
Mar 26th 2008 8:44AM I might be looking forward to this release even more than Batman Begins...
Blu-ray releases on March 25th, 2008 {Engadget HD}
Mar 24th 2008 9:24AM April looks to be a lot better, with titles like Unbreakable, Juno, and The Golden Compass on the horizon.
I guess I can save the money this week towards that Batman Begins giftset in July.
PS3 2.20 update to offer portable copy of Blu-ray films to PSP? {Engadget HD}
Mar 24th 2008 8:36AM If it works like Digital Copy, then there would presumably be a unique code included. You'd enter that into PS3, and it would make the copy once. This would prevent people from simply netflixing BD movies and getting the portable version.
Fanswag: win a custom Mass Effect Xbox 360 Elite [update] {Joystiq Xbox}
Mar 17th 2008 1:19PM I bought my 360 Arcade for Mass Effect specifically. But this Elite console's HDD will come in handy for the new DLC, as well as HD Movies off of Marketplace.
Plus, the Black finish matches my home theater equipment waaaay better than the eggshell white of the Arcade.
