Blu-ray releases on March 25th, 2008
Here we are on the first week of the Blu-ray releases post, but that doesn't mean we won't mention Red at all, as the number one title — to us — this week is also available on HD DVD; Digital Video Essentials, HD Basics. This is a must own for any HDTV enthusiast because it will help you get the most out of your HDTV. We have to admit that we don't know what the difference between this long over due version, and the one previously available on HD DVD, though. The only other title worth mentioning this week is the catalog title from Warner, Bonnie & Clyde. Sony has Steep, but honestly we've never heard of it. Buy the biggest news this week is the non-release of a few titles that are from studios who were previously red, and are now MIA in the HD media landscape; including The Mist, from Weinstein, The Kite Runner, from Dreamworks, and the catalog title Lost Highway, from Universal. Nothing earth shattering, but three solid titles we'd would've like to have had the opportunity to see in HD.
