I'm waiting for iRobot as well, it's been delayed from 20th Century Fox due to BD+, hopefully we'll get an announcement soon.

Looks like Fox is gearing up to release a plethora of HD goodness come October. I am seeing an increase of DVD sales from them - maybe they are clearing their stock?

Moretonbay · 06-10-2007, 05:07 PM

Sorry but there is currently no release date for these titles.

Isn't BD+ finalized and ready to go? Honestly, Fox really should not be dead silent for much longer (or at least have any good reason for being so.)

You, me, and probably most others around here for starters.

Not sure if it's ready to go or not. paidgeek said "very close" and "good progress made in recent weeks". Once it's done, it's anyone's guess as to what the leadtime is from BD+ being final to Fox titles on the shelf.

About a month ago, a bunch of July and August titles were posted/leaked by someone claiming to have been given information from their Fox representative. The titles started releasing on July 10th with Master & Commander.

That being said, unless something is announced early this week, I doubt we're going to see anything on July 10th.

Here's my guess: BD+ is for all intents and purposes done. By mid-August, we'll see Fox back releasing again. I can only hope that encoding and work on future releases has been ongoing so they should have a good amount of titles "in the can", and we should see a nice steady stream through the end of the year from Fox.

There is one caveat though. What happens if/when BD+ is cracked? Does Fox go AWOL again? This is very frustrating to me as Fox has over 25% of the titles I'd rebuy in HD. They are a MAJOR reason I went Blu.

I Robot and Independence day were tentatively announced for June, but put on hold like all of Fox's other product. If they start evaluating the elements better like Sony, I wouldn't be surprised to see ID4 put off even longer. It was mastered some time ago. They might prefer to release a title like that around the respectful holiday as well. I expect Robot will look great as is though.

Our Fox contact emailed me again this past week. This time sounding more hopefull, saying they should have more BD out later this year. But, I think August may still be a bit early.

Both are must have titles. Sure there will be big numbers in the sales of these 2 hits. Maybe while Fox is waiting to release again they could get their ass in gear and get Aliens remastered and primed for a Blu re-coming out ,sorry for the delay party. Just a thought.

haiku_aubade · 06-11-2007, 12:32 AM

i'll definitely get these two movies on Blu

u_nick · 06-11-2007, 12:36 AM

I'd buy I, RObot on BRD faster than... faster than something that does something really fast doing that thing really fast.

The first four Alien films were just remastered not long ago coinciding with the theatrical re-release of Scotts film. They may not need any new work.

jubaiweaponx · 06-11-2007, 03:03 AM

aliens

movies would be lovely!

DrinkMore · 06-11-2007, 11:57 AM

Thats it. I am starting the poll!

KenThompson · 06-11-2007, 03:26 PM

Thats great news about the Alien flicks, Ididn't know that. Fox still needs to get back in the game.

Weez_Dawg · 06-11-2007, 03:34 PM

Bla bla bla... BR+ bs, I am not going to spend 2+ days downloading a HD movie hoping that is really HD. I don't know anyone yet that cracks BRs and gives them out(wish I did). I would be more worried about the cracking of regular DVD's if I was the movie studios. I know someone who rents EVERY new DVD and copies it. Don't know a single soul who does BRs!!!!
