Crap, I wish Troy was on BD... I LOVE that movie. Is it slated for release on BD anytime soon? That's a good price for HD-DVD's too.

Actually it is slated to hit BR in September, here is the link to the story..

Wal-Mart Offers New Blu-ray Player/Disc Bundle

Attention Wal-Mart shoppers: In the latest high-def bundle deal to hit retail, the big box discount chain is giving away two Blu-ray discs to consumers who buy Sony's BDP-S300 Blu-ray Player at a new low price.

Wal-Mart's price for the Sony player is $488, which represents a new low price record for a Blu-ray player (both the BDP-S300 and the PS3 are available elsewhere for $499).

To further sweeten the pot, Wal-Mart is also throwing in two free Blu-ray discs with purchase of the BDP-S300 -- 'Gridiron Gang' and 'Open Season,' both from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Combined with the BDA's recently announced "Five Discs Free" promo, that's a total seven free Blu-rays for lucky Wal-Mart shoppers.

The latest deal from Wal-Mart follows a similar promotion at Amazon, tied to the PS3. As we reported earlier this week, that deal sees Amazon customers buying the PS3 receiving a free PS3 Blu-ray remote, a copy of 'Memento' on Blu-ray, plus the BDA's five free discs.

Wal-Mart is offering this promotion to customers online at Walmart.com and in its stores nationwide. The company says the offer is limited and only good while supplies last.

Re: Official Blu-Ray & HD-DVD Thread

What kind of quality is the BDP-S300? That's a pretty good deal for those who want to get into the HD market.

Re: Official Blu-Ray & HD-DVD Thread

It's probably a decent midrange stand-alone.

Those worrying about full BD-J compatibility might want to wait until the mandate begins in October or so.

Along with that, is 300 going to be coming to Blu-Ray?

300 is day and date with the HD-DVD version on July 31st, just don't have all the features the HD-DVD version has.

Sweet thanks. Any reason the Blu-Ray version is missing some features?

Re: Official Blu-Ray & HD-DVD Thread

Because of the Java stuff that BD hasn't put in place yet. Same reason there's no Batman Begins, Matrix, etc. Just like the Blood Diamond releases, the HD-DVD version is more loaded than the BD version.


The movies themselves are exact though.
