I second that idea. This movie ended its theatrical run already, and is not released until December?

There is no way I'm paying that giant Fox MSRP for a BD-25.... Fox may have lost their minds with this one.

It is only 88 minutes long, there is no need for 50gb disc.

I guess you'd be satisfied with lossy audio or a low bitrate encode as well....

Rambo was only 91 mins and it benefited well from a 50GB disc. I still stand by it, $40 is waaaay too much for a low bitrate encode crammed onto a 25GB disc. May as well get the DVD version of this one.

That is absurd. There are plenty of movies that can fit just fine on a BD-25 and have both lossless audio and beautiful picture.

I'm also suprised and why is Fox waiting such a long time.... I mean they can profit from Holiday Sales also when they release it in November or even October!

Amazon.co.uk has listed the UK Edition for October 20th. ....

+1. Step off the soapbox for a minute about your BD-50's and lossless. We all want the best PQ and AQ but to judge it before it even hits is ridiculous.

My daughter's seen this movie twice now and loved it both times, so I think I'll be looking for this for a Christmas gift for her. Just got her Bee Movie for her B-day (see what I did there?) and she loved seeing it again.

[Blu-Ron]

Didn't see it in theatres. A blu rental for me.

Blu-ray is about the highest possible home entertainment experience. When a disc is not utilized to its full potential, then the experience is only marginally better than a DVD. That was one of the main reasons HD-DVD lost, because it was only marginally better than a standard DVD. Regardless of how this movies looks or sounds (note: I never said it would be crap), it could definitely have benefited from a BD-50. I for one will not pay the typically high Fox price tag for a movie on a BD-25 but thats just my opinion.

guraenteed that this movie looks and sounds fantastic, despite only being on a BD25.

my gripe is with the price, not the content. and to whoever said it above, if they are chosing to charge that much it should always be for a BD50, i agree with you on that. only the absolute highest quality blus should yield that price.
