Columbia House/Disney Movie Club?

[cathexist]

Does anyone know if Columbia House or the Disney Movie Club will start anything with blu-ray?

I recently got something in the mail from the Disney Movie Club with 4 DVDs for $4 as long as you purchase 4 more movies in the next two years...

If something like that was offered for blu-ray movies...it would be well worth it.

I wouldn't count on it anytime soon.

Can't get Blu-ray on Disney's club, probably because there still aren't enough Disney BD's yet to mass-clearance....

Not too many know, though, what makes Disney's club interesting (and keeps it from being the DVD-era waste of time that CH's club is), is that Disney offers private "Club Exclusive" titles, for lesser-known obscure titles and TV episodes that they wanted to test-market ahead of time, just in case:
Bare-bones SD, maybe, but just see if you can find "Zorro: Season 1", "Tall Tale", "DuckTales: the Movie", or "Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land" anywhere else.

(Uh, this was back when Bill was getting all depressed over the goof-article from two weeks ago that he hadn't bothered to fact-check, right?)

Actually Columbia House is offering Blu-Rays and HD-DVD. That's where I bought 300 on Blu-Ray and have Spider-Man 3 on pre-order.
