We've got some breaking high-def format news to report this afternoon. Warner Bros has just officially announced their first Blu-ray Disc releases. Training Day, Good Night, and Good Luck, Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang and Rumor Has It will all street on 8/1. All of these titles are already available on HD-DVD except Good Night, and Good Luck (but we expect that to change soon), so this will be the first really good opportunity to directly compare the two formats. Training Day and Good Night, and Good Luck will carry an SRP of $28.99. The other two titles will sell for SRP $34.99. There's no word yet on the extras to be included, but we expect more on that shortly. Warner also says that they'll be announcing additional waves of Blu-ray Disc titles soon.

Glad to finally have Warner on board. Are these MPEG2 discs?

Training Day is the only one I like

Good to see some action.

You guys notice that Good Night, And Good Luck will be a Blu-ray exclusive? That is, unless Warner issues it on HD DVD within the next three weeks.

I'm curious to see what this movie looks like on BD since IMO it's the best looking HD DVD out so far. The game is on!

Dr Kain · 07-13-2006, 02:11 AM

Yeah, I can't wait to hear the reviews for it compared to the HD-DVD ones.

I'm excited for the release of Warner movies on BD... They have a nice catalog that I would enjoy tapping into to increase my BD collection.

looking over my current DVD collection the better part of my collection is WB, NewLine (which is part of WB) and Fox/Disney.

I have about 15-20 Universal & another 15-20 paramount flix.

total of about 300 DVD's

So i'd say I could live without Universal movies in HD in my Life.

I hope Superman Returns gets a blu-ray release, in time for Christmas perhaps..? That would be very welcome under my tree!
