For those of you who are interested, the original theatrical version of Dune (including the horrible extended edition and a bunch of extras previously available on the last DVD release and the failed HD-DVD format) is coming to Blu-Ray on the 27th April 2010.
In fact I think it will just be a "port" of the HD-DVD version (The quality of which was apparently really good) with no new features... but who knows.
You can find it on Amazon here.
I've read there' lots of new extra's on the Blu-ray version !!!
ReplyDeleteThe only "new" thing I see listed in the specs is "D-Box" support and they've changed to DTS-HD sound and apparently dropped the picture gallery.
ReplyDeleteJust need to get Myself a bluray player/ripper so I can do this project in HD!!! :)

Hi Andrew,
ReplyDeleteYep, that's the same list of features as on the previous HD-DVD and DVD releases.
(I have the HD-DVD version but nothing to play it with)
The only new features are the DTS-HD soundtrack and D-Box support (Which apparently is something you connect to a special chair that makes it vibrate/shudder in time with the events of the movie)
