Buena Vista January Releases

[Josh]

Buena Vista Worldwide Home Entertainment plans to continue its delivery of dual-layer 50GB Blu-ray movies early next year with the release of 4 new titles on January 23. The studio previously announced plans to ship its first 50GB Blu-ray titles on November 21 - just after the launch of Sony's PlayStation 3.

"Casanova," "Chicago," "The Guardian" and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" will debut after the holidays at a cost of $34.99 USD each. Because they utilize Blu-ray's full storage capacity, Buena Vista says the titles will contain a host of special features, including alternate endings, making of featurettes, as well as improved menus and Web connectivity for connecting to live events held by the studio.

This might be the first Disney wave that I'm not interested in any of the titles. My girl might want Chicago, but we have it on DVD already, so I doubt that. Hopefully they add some more titles to that release date.

Buena Vista Worldwide Home Entertainment President Bob Chapek stated, "BVWHE is thrilled to kick off 2007 with this 50GB slate of Blu-ray releases. We're moving forward into an exciting future with these dual-layer discs, which offer the maximum capacity for bonus materials and expanded content. We continue to forge new frontiers with our Blu-ray discs and to further explore the seemingly limitless boundaries of creativity the format allows. We've just begun to cultivate the future growth of our industry with Blu-ray."

I don't think he meant 30GB double layer....

It is interesting that all four of these are BD50s.

Remember when BD50 was a physical impossibility?

And the they were making all of them in the lab?

I guess the lab got pretty big...

Hooray for Hitchhikers but there's still a Pirate shaped hole in their list.

Blu-ray Disc is supported by the world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer and gaming companies, and, with seven of eight Hollywood studios releasing their high-definition content on Blu-ray Disc, Blu-ray will deliver the widest variety of high-definition, home entertainment content.

No doubt!!
Blu-ray will deliver.

Awesome! More and more titles are available vs. none from hd dvd.

With the increasing production of BD-50, it could quickly become the norm for BD releases, same as HD-30.
