The Daily Blu…August 24, 2009

I need to play catch up already this Monday with some news that broke last Friday.  MGM makes Hi-Def boxing fans’ dreams come true with their announcement to bring Rocky: The Undisputed Collection to Blu-ray November 3rd.  I wonder what this means for the majority of us fans who already own parts 1 & 6?  Paramount announced plans to make it a “Blu” Christmas with their holiday classic It’s A Wonderful Life coming to the Blu-ray format on November 3rd.  It seems that they will include both the colorized and the B&W versions of the film.  Last but not least on this glorious Monday afternoon comes reports that Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has announced they are re-releasing Pixar’s animated classic Cars, just in time for Christmas, as a limited edition gift set on November 10th.  Cars: Ultimate Cars Gift Set will feature a Disney Combo Blu-ray release.  That’s a fancy word for an included DVD of the film.  Why!???  Two die-cast cars of Lightning McQueen and Mater will also be included.  The release will be accompanied by a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack to replace the old PCM track on the previous Blu-ray edition.  R.I.P. PCM Audio.  I miss you!
