Bring on the Blu-Ray already. This release is pointless!

What's that sc**ping sound? Must be the bottom of the barrel.

Every single previous DVD, video and theatrical releases had the exact same cover/poster. At least update it a little for the "new" generation (a.k.a. annoying teens).

Where's the Eric Stoltz footage?

If it ain't there, why bother?

P.S. The covers are darn perfect, though. I wish all DVD covers utilised the poster art and title font this well.

Hopeless - bring me BD or bring me nothing!

Did you read the article? Only BTTF 1 is two disc, the others are single disc.

I'm with all those hoping/praying for the BD release of all 3 BTTF movies.... Off topic I know but had The Dark Knight BR ystrdy... Seriously guys & gals: PQ & AQ is out of this world!!!

Finally! Not unlike 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' I have no use for the sequels but would love to own this, I've been waiting a long time for it and have resisted buying the trilogy no matter how cheap it got. I'm one of those poor people that still buys DVD's.

I can't for the life of me understand what all the fuss is about concerning blu-ray. If it's that freaking great, you'd think that the d#ckheads that came up with the concept would have designed them like regular dvds. You know, just insert disc and press play. From what I'm reading online, there's a ton of people that have been buying discs that won't even play. You have to do something called a firmware update. Sometimes even that won't work. So in essence, you've flushed $50 for a damned blu-ray disc down the proverbial toilet. The only system that will consistently play them is the playstation 3. Stand-alone blu-ray players won't even play a lot of the discs that are out. If I spent $500-$1,000 on a stand-alone player and couldn't play my discs, I'd be pissed. So until they eliminate firmware updating on these things altogether, make mine dvd for life. I don't need to see everything in the backgrounds that clearly. Regular dvd is great with me. Another thing I don't understand about blu-ray is the whole 1080p thing. I'll elaborate. They say that regular dvd has twice the resolution of videotape at 480 lines of resolution. Since videotape is around 240-270 lines of resolution, that's about right. They say blu-ray is 6 times sharper than regular dvds. At only 1080p, something isn't adding up. If it really were 6 times sharper, wouldn't that make them 2880p? Something smells awful fishy..... Like I say, make mine dvd!!!!

i wonder if that Ride feature is a sorta dvd game where you get to experience the ride at home because that would be cool, especially since the ride is gone now and those of us who never went will never know.

either way, this is indeed a pointless release, its not even an anniversary year so i'm gonna hope this is their testing waters for blu-ray, to see if the movie still sells well and things.

as for sildu, i know everyone says this and it seems like a typical and automated answer but its the truth...once you experience blu-ray, you do see what the fuss is about and you dont wanna go back. i just watched Firefly last night and while it wasnt a huge "holy s**t" difference because of the time and method it was filmed, it still beat the c**p out of my dvd version.

dont get me wrong, i'm not abandoning dvds entirely, i'll stick to them for tv series and i'm not rebuying all my movies i already own, but i've already stopped buying dvds for new releases. as for the firmware issues, if you dont care about the extras then its a non-issue...the movie still plays in any player regardless of the whole profile 1.1 / 2.0 thing.  and honestly, as someone who loves extras i gotta say i've yet to see any extras that need firmwares (BD live etc...) that are even worth it, they're pointless  "oooo look what i can do" gimmicks. now granted i have a PS3 so i've avoided all those problems you mentioned due to that but yeah, the problems are a minority, they just make the news more.

but if you wanna stick to dvd then do so....you have an advantage that works out because i've noticed dvd movie and player prices drop dramatically recently...so blu-ray is helping them indirectly...its sorta ironic. lol

Now's the time to get a PS3 too, great deals on the way.  BluRay is beautiful, and I've had no problems playing any title.  If this would have come out on BR, I would get it, I guess its still going to be a waiting game though, unfortunately.

Why didn't they just release the Blu-ray version?

I will also add my voice to the chorus of people here who've never had any problems with Blu-ray playback on any title.  I also don't know of *any* single film I've paid $50 for on the format.  Even at a retailer.  Check ONLINE for the real deals on software.  Blu-ray versions - with a few exceptions - are usually pretty comparably priced to their standard def counterparts.  Example: your Blu-ray premium on amazon right now for The Dark Knight over the comparably-featured two-disc DVD release?  $3.

There you go, sildu.  That's Blu-ray quality for you.

so they made a 2-disc for BttF, but then decide to scimp you on 2 and 3.  Sorry but not for me.
