Fox Sets Date for 'Sunshine' Blu-ray

[jed]

Fox's most technologically-advanced next-gen title ever is touching down on Blu-ray this January.

As we first reported yesterday, Fox announced that it was planning to bring 'Sunshine' to Blu-ray sometime in Q1, featuring the format's first Profile 1.1-ready picture-in-picture commentary and a host of other cutting-edge features. They've now issued full details and a street date for the eagerly-awaited title, which will hit Blu-ray on January 8, 2008, day-and-date with the standard-def DVD.

So negative. Make sure you stomp your feet when posting on this thread.

So how long before the first post in a Blu-ray thread isn't by a bitter HD-DVD troll?

So glad that a movie like this is getting the proper treatment.

Danny Boyle, along with Underworld and John Murphy's music...simply stunning!

Saweet... Now just announce it for Australia. Importing from the U.K is getting expensive

Excellent. "Sunshine" and "3:10 To Yuma" on the same day... I can't wait

Is Sunshine worth a blind buy? 1/8/08 is getting pretty crowded (The Rock, 3:10 To Yuma) and I don't want to regret spending $28 more.

No. Rent it. Its got some nice special effects and an intriguing story, but the end gets a little odd. I'll wait until it drops way down in price.

So far they haven't delayed their day and date releases, so this one is safe.

I saw on the Big screen and IMO as a HD purchase - yes. A visually stunning movie with great sound effects, mind you I was disappointed with one aspect of the movie therefore not great overall but since Fox's transfers have improved lately e.g. FF2 was not good but great HD experience I would give it a go.

I would put it ahead of The Rock(catalogue) and a tinge behind 3:10 to Yuma on my monthly purchase list.

Can someone explain "Surround Sound Mixer" a little bit more?

It sounds a bit odd to me. Is it going to be like HD-DVD where 1 track is mixed with the second track? or is it going to be a one and only one or the other track when watching PiP?
