Fox Sneak Peeks 2008 Blu-ray Catalog Plans

[Moviemaniack1993]

So, I have obviously noticed that Fox has lowered their prices for catalog titles (which makes no difference to me as I already own all their catalog titles I want). However, are they going to be lowering them on future catalog releases? I mean, ID4, and I, Robot weren't lowered. I am asking because I will definitely be picking up Predator (the original, not the God-awful AVP movies) and Mrs. Doubtfire, but I cannot see them justifying $30 for them. Anyone know?

i have my doubts that they will lower the newer releases

The only price lowering happened to the catalog titles that have been out for a while. The newer release catalogs will probably be the same (higher) price.

In a posting today on his Digital Bits web site, editor Bill Hunt has published an extensive list of titles that Fox/MGM is considering for release on Blu-ray in 2008.
In addition to titles the studios have already confirmed for upcoming release in previous press statements, Fox/MGM revealed that nearly a dozen additional catalog faves are in the planning stages for Blu-ray, and it looks to be a diverse mix of gems new and old.
No actual street dates were revealed, but among the highlights are: ' 'Batman: The Movie', 'Fargo,' 'The French Connection', the original 1968 version of 'Planet of the Apes', 'Super Troopers,' 'Walk the Line,' 'Young Frankenstein' and the complete 'X-Men' trilogy (currently, only 'X-Men: The Last Stand' has been released domestically on Blu-ray).

Should these titles go from preparation to making Fox/MGM's actual release schedule, it will certainly help make a serious dent in their previous pledge to release at least 100 new titles in the calendar year.
Since we don't update our release schedules with titles until they are officially confirmed by the studio, we're leaving these as rumored titles for now. But we'll certainly keep you posted on all of Fox/MGM's future releases as they're announced.

Why did you just copy and paste from HDD?

Relax guys, it's an honest mistake. People post multiple topics all the time, no need to flog the guy/gal for being a little enthusiastic. Good way to keep people posting here by talking down to them every time they make a mistake.

6th one down links you to the HDD article.

Well what am I going to type in 100 differant things until I get the exact thing? I think the search has to be fixed because what I typed, this thread should have came up.

Not exactly because people don't always make their thread word for word. I'm only saying that I tried 2 different combinations of the title and on my second try I came up with "2008 catalog" and found a thread pertaining to it. I'm not trying to bust your balls, but don't tell me it's too hard to try a few different combinations before you post something. This is something that was posted on the front page at 9am so you would figure it's already being discussed. Anyway, like I said I'm not trying to come down on you because I know the search sucks sometimes, but in this instance it wasn't that hard for me to find a thread with this info.

[Thertel88]

Dude you gotta realize. People new to the site, arent going to search 5 differant things to find something. If they cant find it on the first try, they create a new thread. I didnt check the search for it, but I thought it would be discussed heavily and be on the front page because its pretty good news.
