Awesome news, a week earlier than I was expect The Thing to come!

I will have to see "The Thing" finally I guess. You know, I never heard a DAMN thing about this movie hype-wise my whole life until they started making it one of the freebie HD-DVDs you could get with a player. After that no one would shut up about it. And it became one of the first catalog titles people started whining about not having once Universal switched over to Blu...

If the spec list is final, people on the blu-ray.com board are saying that "The Thing" is missing the 80-minute documentary. That would eliminate it as a buy possibility for me. Not interested in double-dips that could have easily been prevented.

I will pick up all three of these movies it looks like blu-ray is finally going to have a good selection of horror movies.

[MrGone313]

I love The Thing! It's one of the titles that really made me jealous of HDDVD...

[RandellG]

Guess I'll pick up the "starter pack" Uni. is going to kill me

[HectorB]

yeah...I'll be keeping my HD-DVD as well...UNLESS...there is a DTS-HD MA track! Ennio's score would probably sound amazing and benefit from DTS...

According to the early specs THE THING is on a BD25 (!!) and has no extras other than the commentary.

Might be time to hang on to the HD-DVD for now. Lame.

shit...land and dawn....debating starter pack, i have all 3 on dvd again, as stopgaps lol, so we'll see

[Giles]

the real icing on the cake though would have been the inclusion of 'Shaun of the Dead' come on Universal - please?
