The Blu-Ray Upcoming, News & Info Thread

The closest Best Buy to me is about a 30 minute drive. I usually just shop at Target. Sometimes Amazon - but I have to pay sales tax here in Washington. Usually if I'm going to buy movies online, I'll hit up deepdiscount.com

There's alot being said right now that they are dying a slow death. Some figure they'll declare bankrupcy this year. Alot of companies like this just can't compete with Walmart and online stores like Amazon.

The Best Buys around me always seem to be busy when I go there. I hope it's doesn't happen.

the one near me is a ghost town other than the holiday season

Best Buy isn't dead yet; their sales were up 16% over last year... of course, last year they were way down, but at least they are moving in the right direction again.

I don't understand it, but a friend of mine told me that their problem is the way that companies are dealing with them now has changed and they're having problems with cash flow.

I don't understand such things so I don't try.

That's the problem I have with Target. Best Buy is closer to me. I like them both though.

I want choices, dammit!

By the way, if you don't know (and haven't received an invite yet) go like the new Best Buy Reward Zone Facebook page!

https://www.facebook.com/bestbuy/app_187400188063684#_=_

There are daily polls which will give you 25 FREE Reward Zone points! So far, there has been a new poll every day since the 9th... some people have already gotten a $5 RZ cert just from taking the polls! There are other ways to earn free points as well... inviting friends (sorry to those I might have sent twice to!) and surveys (not daily though). I only found out a few days ago, but I've already earned 145 free RZ points!

I keep revisiting this thread; patiently awaiting the day when I see specs for The Dark Knight Ultimate Collector's Edition Trilogy. It'll probably be a while yet, but that doesn't make the prospect of such a thing any less exciting.

We've known since last year that Jurassic Park would make its return to theaters in 3D this April, but now Universal has also dropped the details about its Blu-ray 3D release, as well as the 2D release of all the flicks individually in March. Just to fill in the timeline: first Jurassic Park 1, 2 and 3 will hit Blu-ray/DVD individually (following the triple pack that shipped in 2011) on March 26th, then Jurassic Park in 3D arrives April 5th in regular and IMAX theaters (no, the now-dated CGI has not been redone, you can get a peek in the trailer embedded after the break) followed finally by the Blu-ray 3D April 26th.

While news that the flick is back on the big screen is exciting, we can't help but think there's a few missed opportunities here like the previously mentioned CGI, and lack of any extras detailing the conversion process on the disc. Still, some had complaints about the picture quality of the previous release and it's possible that remastering done in the name of 3D could see a better version this time around for all viewers. Either way, after Titanic, I, Robot and even Top Gun seeing 3D re-release it appears this is definitely a trend. The individual movies are priced at $24.49 on Amazon, and the 3D combo pack is $34.99.

What site did you get that news from? I can't believe anyone would want the CGI to be redone.

Spielberg has already gone on record stating that his CG revisionist days are done. Nobody is touching Jurassic Park.
