I hadn't even considered getting the Blu-Ray until I saw that Steelbook. It's loving great looking. I'm just curious if I can find it anywhere but FYE.

Not in the United States - it's exclusive to FYE. And if you import it from another country, you'll end up spending just as much money (probably more).

Oh hey, what do you know? A.I. was just announced for US release on February 15. Special features include:

-Creating A.I.
-Acting A.I.
-Designing A.I.
-Lighting A.I.
-A.I./FX
-The Robots of A.I.
-Special Visual Effects and Animation: ILM
-The Sound and Music of A.I.
-Closing: Steven Spielberg: Our Responsibility to Artificial Intelligence
-Two theatrical trailers
-A.I. Archives

That's the good news.

The bad news? It looks like Sony's Heavy Metal Blu-Ray had been canceled.

If you're into old WWII stuff, Periscope Film has restored the excellent documentary series Victory at Sea for Blu-Ray. Here are a couple of reviews:

http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/41411/victory-at-sea-deluxe-edition/
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Victory-at-Sea-Blu-ray/9026/#Review

It's a steal at $30, but if you buy directly from Periscope you can get an additional 30% off with code Victory.

I think I may as well just buy the blu-ray. I'm tired of hoping for a grand restoration that will really make this movie pop, when it's pretty clear that it's never going to happen. Even the shot of the Criterion is pretty tragic, so I doubt it will ever get significantly better.

The restoration work done on Space: 1999 is breathtaking and easily on par with The Twilight Zone, Star Trek and The Prisoner. If you're at all a fan of this show, the Blu-Rays are a must buy. They just dropped in price on Amazon too.

Question for you guys: In the previous Blu-Ray thread, I made a single post reviewing the BD I bought for Venture Bros.: Season Two. Pictures, information on the release, and what I thought, etc. - I'd do it again, unless that should:

A.) Be its own thread - a collection of reviews of individual releases
B.) Be in the Blu-Ray thread, or DVD thread, depending on format, obviously

Thoughts?

A lot of us are going to be Blu-Ray heavy, what with Christmas coming, and a lot of us having cashed in on the recent crazy sales. Should we just include it here, or start a new review thread? I'd imagine if we made a new thread, it'd be much more specific, and picture-heavy, which would keep this thread from getting bogged down.

Raging Bull 30th Anniversary BD/DVD combo on Jan 11th, with over 50 minutes of new extras:

"Marty on Film"
"Cathy Moriarty on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, March 27, 1981"

Raging Bull looks pretty fantastic as is from what I remember, since I never watch extras I probably won't upgrade unless the new picture proves me wrong. I'd rather have an upgraded GoodFellas for the 20th anniversary.

I would love to see an open-format review thread, perhaps with some explanation in the OP of what the features of high definition are and what a poor upgrade looks like. If we can stave off claims of "all movies look great to me WTF are you talking about" that would be great. (I also wouldn't mind learning more about the format.)

Lots of good deals... looks like a lot of Sony discs are under $12.

I've had good luck throughout the years, until recently, when it took them nearly four months to ship me the North by Northwest blu-ray. That was enough for me, I'm sticking Amazon now as well. Saving four dollars wasn't worth it and their 'customer service' is a joke.

I bought Inception on Blu-ray today, haven't popped it in to check the picture- and audio-quality yet. Should be good, though, as the film is one of WB's flagship releases this holiday season.
