I really must get a BD player

That cover art works PERFECTLY with a blu case.

Already got it on HD DVD, so I won't bother with this unless my player breaks (which considering I hardly use it compared to the BD player, should be a while from now).

Still, I'll keep my DVD -- I don't like how Universal keeps doing that. I like video commentary, but I usually will prefer to watch documentaries and whatnot separate.

That artwork is beautiful.......especially alongside the blue Blu-ray case. Great movie. A must buy!

Great movie, I'll be buying this eventually.

Where are all the features? Who the hell is making these decisions over at Universal? The 40 Year Old Virgin HDDVD had all the features from the 2 disc DVD. The Blu Ray has only the features from the single disc unrated version. Strangly, the Knocked Up blu ray seems to have all the features from the 2 disc DVD, while the HDDVD only had the ones from the single disc version.
Land Of The Dead has all the feautres from the DVD, but Dawn of the Dead and The Thing have none of them (except commentary's), even though the HDDVD versions had all of them. They did the same thing with The Scorpion King as well. HDDVD, same features as DVD. Blu Ray, no features.
Come on Universal, do these Blu Rays right!

Cover looks great as a Blu-Ray

yeah i dont get this whole "interactive" idea for movies. most people just wanna watch their movie and see the extras as a seperate thing, hence why they're called such. i realize extras are rarely if ever watched more than once but id hate to have to watch the whole movie again simply to see something. especially with this new PiP trend where the extra stuff is in a small window in the corner and only pops up sporadically.

i realize this new high def stuff allows for things like this but to quote Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park...

Bit like the LHC.

Oi, don't blame us, that's how Universal lists them.

Man, I am SO happy they went with the original cover art on the Blu-ray (as opposed to the crummy photoshopped art from the anamorphic DVD release).  I adore this film, and I just had to replace my original DVD version for the anamorphic enhancement alone, but I've missed the original poster art ever since.  No-brainer, first day purchase for me.  Can someone go into more detail about the U-Control thing, though?  "Terror Takes Shape" is one of the best making-of docs I have ever seen.  Does the fact that it's embedded in the U-Control function mean I have no choice but to watch the entire doc in a PiP window while the feature plays full screen?  That is absolutely ridiculous if true.  Is there no option to make the PiP screen full screen for things like this?  And what if the documentary is actually *longer* than the feature?  Just curious how they'd resolve that.

Oh what I would give for this!
