APRIL 2010. Theatrical Editions + DIGITAL COPY.
Blu-ray.com's news page on edition details
I would never have believed it, but: According to the Digital Bits, it's true.
I hope by then Warner will be smart enough to provide the titles in highest bit rate video and full HD audio with no extra DNR. Hopefully they'll also be the extended editions.
I don't mind if the appendices aren't included as I'll keep my DVD sets, but if they are converted to Hi-def I'm good with that too
While the graphic indicates coming soon, TheDigitalBits.com indicates that the titles are in fact coming in 2009.
updated TheDigitalBits.com reports these are likely delayed until March 2010.
