Well if there was ever a reason to buy into the Blu-Ray camp for the upcoming war for next-gen DVD formats this might be it.
DVD Dossier reports:
Appearing on [Warner Home Video] Blu-ray Disc on September 5th will be “Lethal Weapon,” “Firewall,” “Blazing Saddles” and “Full Metal Jacket.” And on September 12th, four more HD DVD titles will be released: “Troy,” “Lethal Weapon 2,” “House of Wax” and “Space Cowboys.”
“Troy” will make its HD DVD debut with In-Movie Experience (IME), the new interactive feature allowing viewers to enjoy new ways of accessing interviews and other material while the movie is running.
Wow! You will be able to actually jump to the special features WHILE watching the movie! Why didnt I think of that.
How often have you been watching a movie and thought “hey, I really wish we could interupt this wonderful moment to see how they filmed this scene!” You know those moments can’t wait until you have finished watching the movie. Watching it until the end is for old-schoolers. Welcome to the age of the Future!
I know this rivals the “Director Commentary” feature and ups the ante a notch with on the fly access for those intrepid videophiles who actually listen to them, but I see no reason to do this IN the movie. The option to run the commentary or insert deleted scenes in the menu is good enough for me.
I can’t wait to see what else they are going to announce to lure me into a BluRay. So far the Playstation 3 using it would be the only reason I might get one.
Might.
