Dear Criterion Collection Newsletter subscriber,
We’ve got some exciting news for this fall, and we wanted you to hear it first.
Our first Blu-ray discs are coming! We’ve picked a little over a dozen titles from the collection for Blu-ray treatment, and we’ll begin rolling them out in October. These new editions will feature glorious high-definition picture and sound, all the supplemental content of the DVD releases, and they will be priced to match our standard-def editions.
Here’s what’s in the pipeline:
The Third Man Bottle Rocket Chungking Express The Man Who Fell to Earth The Last Emperor El Norte The 400 Blows Gimme Shelter The Complete Monterey Pop Contempt Walkabout For All Mankind The Wages of Fear
Alongside our DVD and Blu-ray box sets of The Last Emperor, we’ll also be putting out the theatrical version as a stand-alone release in both formats, priced at $39.95. Our Blu-ray release of Walkabout will be an all-new edition, featuring new supplements as well as a new transfer; we will also release an updated anamorphic DVD of Nicolas Roeg’s outback masterpiece at the same time.
I hope that "priced to match our standard-def editions" means same exact price, not same inflated price

i like wes anderson as much, or more, as the next guy, but bottle rocket doesn't really need a criterion version, especially an HD criterion version, does it?

ok, NOW I will pony up for a blue ray player.
imagine the Criterion version of The Killer on BR *shudder
yeah, that's exactly how the bluray promoters want you to think.
At the end of the day, you'll still get the same amount of pleasure by watching your old dvd though.
I know.
I don't know. I now own a Blu-ray player and a high def TV, and the biggest benefit can be seen in the older movies. The newer movies are already shot so well, the differences aren't that huge, but there still worth it in my opinion.
