Default 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith,' 'Dodgeball,' 'Ice Age' -- Fox March Wave pre-release buzz

Fox has announced a nice trio of new Blu-ray titles for March:

http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/sh...u-ray_Wave/389

Plus, 'Commando' got rescheduled.

Still, I'm surprised only 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' is a BD-50. Thought at least 'Dodgeball' would get loaded with extras.

Fox really stinks at Blu-Ray so far.

Mr. And Mrs. Smith will rock but will have NO extra's per the typical Fox release.

What's with the $39.95 price tag Fox? Common! $40 is too much for a movie... they better drop it soon.

The $40 price is fine by me because it only helps HD-DVD sales.

Listen up Fox, if you want my money you must do two things...

1) Lower your Prices!
Come On you have been pulling this overpriced crap since the introduction of the video tape.
2) Special Content and Features
Where is the Special content? I have over 3000 DVD titles and I want to replace a good portion of them with Blu-Ray equivalents, I realize you like to soak the public for as much as you legally can by releasing as many versions of the same movie as possible, but I am not interested in movie only titles nor am I interested in getting shafted on special features. Blu-Ray is supposed to be a content based format, that is what I expect out of it.

Deliver on these two things and I will be your most ardent supporter. Do not listen to me and to the others who share my beef with you, and you will lose everything... your choice.

Fox is really pumping out titles for Bluray... Fox is the equivalent of Universal for HD-DVD.

Exactly. The prices you guys are complaining about are MSRP which is pretty much the same MSRP for HD DVD movies.

FYI, most Fox releases are getting rave reviews--so much for stinking.
