Blu-ray releases on July 29th, 2008

Here we are just two years after the launch of Blu-ray and for the first time ever there are 24 titles released in one week. We wish this is a glimpse of what it's like to have almost every studio on board (Weinstein's first release is next week), but looking forward, we don't expect to have another week this big again until September. Either way, every studio has something this week, including a few day-and-dates from Sony, Universal, MGM, and Warner. Stargate: Continuum looks like it'll be the biggest Blu title this week, but the ones we're most looking forward to is the Jack Ryan Collection from Paramount. These are just a few of the titles that HD DVD fans had access to for some time, and are finally finding their way to Blu-ray. August looks like it'll breat records in the shear number of titles released, but none that really jump out at us as hot titles, but either way the holiday season can't get here fast enough for ol' Blu.
