Hey! What ever happened to the weekly DVD release round-up here at Mania? I looked forward to it every week.

And so it begins... They start dropping stuff from the DVD releases to encourage people to by the HD versions. Seems like the Webisodes and Who were the Spartans? should fit on a second disk set. Put me in the "non-early adopter" group for new technology. Especially when there're two formats duking it out ala VHS/Betamax. As good as HD looks, it's not as much of a quality jump like VHS to DVD to make me want to ugrade my library. That said, this might be a movie I wait to buy in a few years on HD DVD (or Blu Ray) once the format wars dies down. This movie will visually pop in HD, more so that most films.

Myrddin, you don't have to wait. You can by a Hd disc that can also be played on a regular DVD player. They have that combo for this movie. Plus I think the players will be able to play both Blu and HD after the war is over. There are already several models that do. Even though I gave started to think the same way as you, I might not wait to get this one. But I'll probably just buy the regular DVD.

I think people will rip anything from the HD's and Blu Ray's for the extras and post them online anyway.

Bring back the "DVD Shopping List" that came out every Tuesday. I rely on that for genre DVD releases of the week. It was the best weekly column on this site!
