thats just what i have heard because good old geroge wants a format winner and some ppl on here said we prolly wont see a star wars release until 2010. but i hope thats not the case. Becuase i would love star wars on HD. And i sure hope blu-ray is around for that long, DVD has been around for 10 yrs now

OK. I mean, 2010 isn't exactly tomorrow - but we are half way through 2007 already. That is NOT a long time.

Like everyone else, I'd love to hear the announcement about a LOTR Blu-ray box set (or even a revamp of the special collectors edition sets with Blu-rays in them) release for the holidays, but that is HIGHLY unlikely at this point.

I think that, assuming the format wars last major skirmish is this Christmas (with all but the real die-hard HD DVD facs hanging on), we should expect a LOTR announcement is either the first half or second half of 2008 with a release in the second half of 2008 or the first half of 2009. I *could* happen sooner than that, but not likely even in the most rosey scenario.

And even if they did push it out in the earliest of those time frames it would be very difficult to beleive we'd be looking at anything other than a warmed-over version of the last releases with mediocre video and either the same soundtrack(s) or only one additional soundtrack.

I'd love for a reference quality set of those to come out for the Fall, like everyone else. but it's just unrealistic.

I can't wait to see if LOTR and the Blade series makes it to Blu Ray. Is New Line still undecided as to which format they are choosing?

No they're owned by Warner so they're neutral. And those WILL make it to BD. No IF about it

I wouldn't be to sure about that. WB is 'neutral', but some of their best movies are on HD DVD. The Matrix, Batman, Constantine are all WB/ HD DVDs.

O god, do we have to explain again why these titles have yet to grace Blu ray to another?
