I forgot this was released on HD DVD back in 2007. I wonder if Universal will use the same transfer? And it doesn't look like the extras we've had so far have been very good at all, so here's hoping that something new has been added...

Love Steve Martin, and I've been waiting for the films he did with Carl Reiner (all great, in my opinion) to come to Blu-ray.

Definitely upgrading my DVD. I've been waiting for this one. It's my favorite Steve Martin film.

It'll probably be the same transfer. It's not that impressive, but it's a low budget movie that's over 30 years old. The real problem I had with it was the Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 track that had new sound FX mixed in. I've seen the movie so many times I can't even keep count and when M. Emmet Walsh shoots at Steve Martin, it sounds completely different from the original mix. Hopefully Universal includes the mono track(or restores the original sound FX), but I'm not holding my breath.

I really hope it's a new scan! The price point scares me as I don't think that it high enough to justify a new scan to Universal. I hope I am dead wrong!
