I was at TheDigitalBits.com today & stumbled on this very nice article that will please everyone:

MY TWO CENTS - 5/13/08 - by Digital Bits editor Bill Hunt

Afternoon, folks! We've got a new DVD review for you today. We figured some of you might have a few questions about this set, so we've gotten our hands on Lucasfilm and Paramount's new Indiana Jones Adventure Collection DVD box set (in stores today), and I've given it a look for you. Is it worth the money or is it just a shameless double-dip? Surprisingly, it's a little of both. It's absolutely a double-dip, but the new material is kind of cool. And the video quality is actually very slightly better than the original DVD release. Check out the review and you'll see what we mean.

In terms of news today, here's something interesting that would normally go in The Rumor Mill (so take it with a MAJOR grain of salt): The Spanish DVD website 1080b is reporting that Paramount will be releasing both The Godfather: The Francis Ford Coppola Restoration and The Indiana Jones Quadrilogy on Blu-ray Disc on 10/29. They've even got cover art for the supposed Spanish versions of the discs. Now, it's absolutely possible that this is legit, but we don't know how reliable the site is. We've got calls and e-mails out to both our industry sources and the studio, however, so we'll let you know more as soon as we can confirm anything. If it IS true, it would obviously be HUGE news, so rest assured we'll leave no stone unturned.

We'll be back later this evening or tomorrow morning with more announcement news and anything we're able to learn about Godfather and Indy on Blu-ray.

Hopefully this is TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always believed that there was a good chance we would see an Indy box set late this year.

Dammit. Now I want to buy the Indy's. Some of the very few films that I'll go through every single extra on.

If this holds true, I won't mind at all. Just the fact we'll be getting them this year is good enough for me.

I meant for Transformers.

I knew we would be waiting for Indy and The Godfather.

If this is true, it makes up for the other Paramount screw ups.

I couldn't agree more

broganreynik · 05-13-2008, 11:13 PM

Both on the same day is gonna be killer on the wallet, but I'm not complaining. They would instantly become five of my favorite Blu-rays (six dependent on Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I don't count Godfather Part III)

It's getting late here, so I'm about to go to bed.
However after reading that I'll have to sleep on my side.

Wasn't there a similar announcement last year only to be a "Spanish April Fools Joke" which no one outside Spain was aware of as it wasn't even April?

It was a "joke" about the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy. That happened back in November I believe.
