Actually, I'm awaiting to get a Blu player gratis for use in my reviews.  When I do I can then request other releases.   I was offered an HD-DVD over a year ago, but I turned it down due to the format war.  I was also offered a Blu previous and turned it down for the same reason.  Now that I've been offered another Blu, but from a different company I carefully looking into the model and features so I can evaluate the discs properly since so many Blu players are up to date with the released software.  Hopefully, the player will arrive in time for the POTA release, if not before.

Speaking with a person from a PR firm for FOX Video he has confirmed
the following...

Both versions of CONQUEST will be on the disc. For the "Unrated"
Edition it will contain 12 mins. of footage. It will have a different
ending. It is a diffrent version not just altered with the added 12
mins. (Hope this IS true) The "Unrated" version of CONQUEST will NOT
be made available to standard DVD.

Both versions of BATTLE - Theatrical and longer versions.

As of now, bonus materials are still being gathered for this Blu-ray
release. It has not yet been decided which theatrical trailers are
being used.

They are still looking for more materials such as - deleted scenes from
teh films. As of now they HAVE NOT found the deleted scenes from
PLANET or the Prolog from ESCAPE.

According to his contact at FOX (who is working on this Blu release)
there is no BENEATH NATO featuette (I wonder who this FOX person is?)

As far as he's been told NONE of the special bonus materials eithre
gathered, or made for this release will be made available for standard
DVD.

I again offerd my aid and said I was will to discuss the use of
material from my collection - I doubt it will come to pass. I figured
that if they don't find the footage from ESCAPE I might allow use of
the slides I have - I doubt it will come to pass.

According to this contact I have been put on a list for a review copy
when it is available. For those of you who have visited my site I will
do a review as revealing and honest as I have the past POTA releases.
the reveiw copy isn't expected that much ahead of the time of street
date according to him so there's time.

*** This was on AOL a couple nights ago... ***   Blu-ray 'Has Five Years Left,' Says Samsung Exec by Donald Melanson, posted Sep 4th 2008 at 3:43PM While we can't say if it represents a general sentiment at Samsung or not, the company's UK director of consumer electronics, Andy Griffiths, sure went out on a bit of a limb in a recent interview with Pocket-lint, with him saying that Blu-ray has, to paraphrase David Bowie, only "five years left," and that he "certainly wouldn't give it ten." He did say, however, that he thought 2008 would be Blu-ray's year, adding that "it's going to be huge", and that Samsung is "heavily back-ordered at the moment." As for Samsung's future after Blu-ray's supposed demise, Griffiths seems to think that OLED will be the next big thing, and he's pegging 2010 as a possible date for it to become mainstream and replace LCD. He didn't offer a prediction as to when it will die out though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ --- On Fri, 9/5/08, drhasslein <drhasslein@yahoo. com> wrote: From: drhasslein <drhasslein@yahoo. com> Subject: [pota] Re: Digest Number 4165 To: pota@yahoogroups. com Date: Friday, September 5, 2008, 9:32 PM Blu is certainly being pushed.

Right now with HD-DVD out of the picture there is opportunity for BLU, but not absolute. It could still fail. Numbers for its saturation are at a point that make it definite. Common sense would make the studios start to develop release that make them more attractive with features not available on standard DVD release. But if the number don't increase that's still money invested in production that might not stand up to the investment - in which case they will have to make it available to a format which can support the cost.

I mean they just used wig pieces around his normal head of hair!  I think I'm correct, not sure, but when you look at Wagner as Lucius in PLANET, that's mostly his own hair on his head!

I always thought that it was black because they used Korean hair.  Maybe it looks a little dark brown in the sun, as most black hair does when the light gets filtered through it.

Yeah, I'd really love to tell the person responsible for this stuff a thing or two, however, I'm simply going to make my own cover art and that'll be that!  Thank the Lawgiver for computers, photoshop and printers!

 

I'm very glad to see that the films will be released individually, as now that gives me the option of just buying the first movie (you know, the one that counts) on Blu-ray, then waiting a few months to get the entire set, when it'll be heavily discounted I'm sure.  I wasn't looking forward to spending so much since I still have to get a Blu-ray player, and it doesn't look as if the expected price drop is going to happen this year.  The new Panasonic players are still going to be well above $300.  I'll probably go with just getting a Panasonic BD30 on eBay.

 

The "Preview Version" of CONQUEST may only be available in the 40th Anniversary set, along with the other extras.  If so, this situation kind of sucks, but most things come to those that wait.  I can wait.
