p2pnet - rss feed: Sony 50-gig Blu-ray flic discs
p2pnet.net News:- Sony Pictures says it’s going to try to sell - or re-sell, rather - Click, Black Hawk Down, and Talladega Nights on 50 GB Blu-ray discs.
Click is slated for release tomorrow with ’special features like deleted scenes, a making-of featurette, and other behind the scenes footage, all of which are presented in high-definition," says Sony, according to TG Daily.
"Click will be the first movie to offer all the special features from the DVD entirely re-rendered in high-definition for Blu-ray," it says. "The movie also features uncompressed pulse-code modulation (PCM) audio."
How much? Sony hasn’t told anyone.
Meanwhile, competing formats Blu-ray and HD-DVD, "began quietly rolling out library titles earlier this year but now several, including ‘Mission Impossible III,’ ‘Nacho Libre’ ‘Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,’ ‘Monster House’ and ‘World Trade Center’ will also debut on regular DVD and high-definition DVD on the same day in the coming weeks," says The Los Angeles Daily News.
But Hollywood continues to dither: Blu-ray or HD-DVD? - although, "Some studios, like Paramount, are putting out high-definition releases in both formats," says the story.
In the end, though, it’s all about money. Your money.
The story as a Warner spokesperson saying, "We’re into the seventh month of the high-definition formats available in the marketplace but the fourth quarter is the time that really matters to both formats."
And, "The launch is progressing but there is consumer confusion out there," the LA Daily News quotes Paramount’s Chris Saito, vice president of marketing, as saying. "The fourth quarter will be very telling in terms of which format will thrive."
