This is funny, every other thread talks about the limited catalogs available and more catalogs are announced and the studios are milking people.

This is awesome news. Aston Martin DB5 in HighDef! YAY!

(need to check if that one is actually part of the slate, but hey

)

Will the BD's have all the extra features from the DVD's?

dsskid · 06-19-2008, 07:24 AM

I only have one or two Bond movies already on DVD, so I'd love to have them on BD.

I never purchased any of the Bond films on SD DVD because I refused to pay the astronomical amount of the boxsets they came in.

You joined the cry baby brigade too? Constantly? I see far more posts about SRT than the limited titles.

You guys need something else to hang your hat on. The fact remains that there IS limited titles being released on BD vs DVD. It has been proven that catalog titles don't sell well.

Fact remains, BD isn't living up to my expectations which is my proragative.. You have shown that you worship it.. which is your proragative.
