Blu-ray has quickly become the de facto format for HD entertainment, and to recognize its prominence we're opening a dedicated channel on ign.com.

They've started with a list of IGN's Top 25 Blu-ray Discs.

And they are giving them away (along with a PS3) in the Go Blu sweepstakes.

Quote:

For those who haven't taken the high-definition plunge, here's your chance now - enter the Go Blu sweepstakes to win a Playstation 3 console as well as 25 of someof the hottest movie titles to be released on Blu-ray DVD! (sic)

Open only to legal residents of the 50 States of the U.S. (& DC). Meh.

Entries must be received by 11:59 PM PST on December 19, 2008.

These are the titles:

Casino Royale
Dark City
Blade Runner
Hellboy II
300
Ratatouille
Tropic Thunder
Batman Begins
Transformers
Wall-E
Speed Racer
The Godfather Trilogy
Beowulf
Lost Season 4
Incredible Hulk
Firefly complete series
Planet Earth
Sleeping Beauty
Spider-Man box set
Ultimate Matrix Collection
Die Hard Box set
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Heroes season 1
Pirates of the Caribbean box set
Planet of the Apes: 40-year evolution collection

IGN is one of the major gaming sites so this is good news. The page is a bit too busy for my taste though.

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up on this!

Beast · 11-20-2008, 02:22 PM

And now IGN's embraced Blu-Ray. Not bad for a 'Failed Format'.

Y3k Bug · 11-20-2008, 02:42 PM

Very cool. Thanks for the heads up!

I hope I win the contest, but I know I won't.

dadkins · 11-20-2008, 02:56 PM

Thanks for the Heads Up!

I entered as well - not holding my breath though.

Magic · 11-20-2008, 02:58 PM

Thanks for the notification of this! *fingers crossed*

Marquoz · 11-20-2008, 09:00 PM

Quick, mods delete this thread so I have a slightly better chance of winning!

Thanks for the post OP!

STARSCREAM · 11-21-2008, 09:27 PM

Nice to see them add the channel and have this sweepstakes but I cannot believe a site as big as IGN called it Blu-ray dvd!!!

. I am so sick of hearing it called that.

Its cool to see IGN showing some support to Blu-Ray, but like Starscream stated, its annoying to see it called Blu-Ray DVD. haha ...... On another note, I notice under the games channel, it has X-Box Live. I wonder after the release of Home, will there be a PlayStation Network channel? Only time will tell.
