No mention of Blu-ray? Not that I have a player yet. But I wonder if they are waiting on this sale before the sequel then? I was going to stop buying movie DVD's for Blu-Ray but I better get this one.

Dazzler - Some of the studios that weren't with Blu Ray before, still aren't releasing on Blu Ray for some strange reason but have stopped dropping HD DVD for the titles, like they did here with Cloverfield and have only a dvd release. Hopefully, in a couple of months they will be releasing all the titles in Blu Ray along with DVD, and releasing titles that had previously be released in HD dVD or DVD but this in Blu Ray. I suggest the PS3 if you are thinking of getting a Blu Ray player.

By the way, those of you that have PS3, I'm sure you know but just incase, the last update for the PS3 moved up the the Blu Ray player profile to 2.0 if I'm not mistaken and now Blu Ray titles that have downloadable content, you'll be able to do it through the PS3. I believe Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and 6th Day(the Arnold sci fi flick, don't know if that's the title or not) will be the first blu ray titles with downloadable content.

Yep, written by Paramount. (Robert)

I am amazed. In this age of spoilery internet, the DVD is coming out in less than 3 weeks, and I still don't know what the monster looks like! After all the buildup, after a $46M opening weekend, after God knows how much in total worldwide gross, I still haven't seen a pic on the web. I'm glad, too, because I'd rather see it for the first time when I watch the movie.

Having experienced XBox Live, Zune's marketplace and Hulu now -

who cares if anything comes out in Blu-Ray format. I want the digital downloads for everything!

My home is now a piece or two of equipment away from being completely "wired" (wireless, actually) so that any computer, tv or handheld can draw upon a central storage device full of content.

One of those pieces I'm missing is one of those 2 TB HDD's for storage. You can get a good Seagate for about $400 - that stores 40 Blu-Ray discs worth that, if you get all your discs at $20, saves you about $400.

Better quality, better access, cheaper.

The revolution is here. :)

btb, Cloverfield rocked and I'm getting that DVD asap - or maybe the download. ;)

--------------------------------------------

I do because I like watching my 1080p Blu Ray films on my 46" 1080p HDTV.

I do love the studio descriptions.

I have to have those 'heart-racing' special features. Well what if I have a bad heart? Could those special features kill me? If they don't and I hestitate on buying this thing, then that unidentified monster might get me. According to the studio, my prognosis doesn't sound very good.

One of my other favorites, though, not listed here is "if you're a true fan, it's a MUST OWN!" Well, what if I'm a true fan, but I don't want to own? What's going to happen to me then? Maybe I should just buy it so I don't find out.

Thank you and good-night.

the shakey-cam should play better on DVD since at least its the correct format (I'm talking that the movie was supposidly shot on digital video... and now its been transfered to digital Video)... unlike Blair Witch project which filmed their movie with old fashion reel to reel then transfering it to DVD loses 100% of its impact.
I'm actually hoping that I'll like one of those two alt endings better than the ending that was used in the film but i doubt it... i'm not renting it just to see special features either so i hope that the alt endings show up on youtube where we all can watch them for free.
i have no desire to see Cloverfield again.

Mckracken - I was thinking the same thing, It should play better on dvd plus if you get pissed of seeing the cam shake you can always pause it and come back to it later.
That's how I watched it when I saw a bootleg copy of it.
The alt endings will most definitely end up on youtube, just like the "I Am Legend" one.
