Digital Leisure's Space Ace headed to HD DVD and Blu-ray

If you didn't quite get your fill of Dirk the Daring with Dragon's Lair on HD DVD and Blu-ray, Digital Leisure has you covered. Slated to arrive on April 8th on both major formats, the completely restored Space Ace will allow fans of the series to check out a 1080p version of the game and treat their ears to a freshly created 5.1-channel audio mix. Additionally, the title was authored in both BD-Java for Blu-ray and HDi for HD DVD, ensuring that customers have access to the highly-anticipated interactive features regardless of what camp they're in. Also of note, each title will have slightly different extras (detailed in the read link below), so hardcore fans should be sure to pick up both for the full experience -- if you're cool with dropping $49.95 apiece, that is.

Erm, you don't need to pick up both to get all the extras. If you visit the read link it says that they both have exactly the same content apart from the following: “Leisure Online” – A unique online player experience that includes “Head 2 Head” gaming - an incredible first for the HD DVD format.

So to get the full experience you just need to buy it on HD-DVD, not both.

It would be kinda cool if all 7 HD-DVD owners got online at the same time and played :)

More proof that the BD crowd is nothing but a group of sore winners.

Wow, 50 bucks for a 20 year old IP rehashed for the untempth time. You can almost feel the excitement.

Yeah $50 is a complete kick to the face.

If the usual 30-32% off is granted from Amazon, then it's easily yours for $34.

Why? This is a video game, not a movie. $50 is the going rate for the latest video games.
