*sigh* A Lucasfilm series of movies coming to Blu-ray and it's the wrong one.

Personally I think it's the right one on account that the fourth Indiana Jones film is already out on blu-ray as opposed to the Star Wars series which only has The Clone Wars on blu-ray.
 
They should release both the Indiana Jones Trilogy and the Prequels for Star Wars on Blu-ray.
 
The Spirit Coming to Blu-ray
Lionsgate Home Entertainment has revealed in the latest issue of Home Media Magazine that they will bring the Frank Miller's 'The Spirit' to Blu-ray on April 14th, day-and-date with the DVD release. Technical specs have yet to be announced, but you can expect to see AVC video accompanied by a DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack.

Milk Announced for Blu-ray Release
Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced that they will bring the Oscar-nominated film 'Milk' to Blu-ray on March 10th, day-and-date with the DVD release. Video for this Gus Van Sant film will be presented in 1.85:1 1080p VC-1 accompanied by a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack.

Extras for this release include:
* Remembering Harvey
* Hollywood Comes to San Francisco
* Marching for Equality

o My Scenes Sharing
o Download Center: Deleted Scenes

Watchmen Animated Features Announced
Warner Home Video has announced that they will bring the animated double feature 'Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter & Under the Hood' to Blu-ray on March 24th, day-and-date with the DVD release. These two stories appear in the Watchmen comics, but were left out of the upcoming theatrical release, so if you want the complete Watchmen story, this is a must own release.

Big; Something About Mary Get Confirmed
In an early announcement to retailers, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment has confirmed that they will bring 'Big: Extended Edition' and 'There's Something About Mary' to Blu-ray on May 5th. Video for both of these titles will be presented in 1080p AVC accompanied by 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks.

Blu-ray Increases Market Penetration
In the most recent issue of Home Media Magazine, new Nielsen First Alert data is now reporting that Blu-ray sales represented 17% of the home video market for the week ending January 25th, a new record for the high definition format. The previous record of 16 was reached only a few weeks ago, and makes for some very impressive results for the month of January.

Well Zodiac was filmed with HD cameras and I popped in and sampled King Kong and it is easily demo material. And maybe you should think about rounding out that Saw collection as well. :)
 
I've been thinking about double dipping on Saw 1 and 2 as well. They're incredibly cheap at Wal-Mart.
 
Well Saw was shot on a budget of 1 million dollars so I dunno if its gonna look much better than what the Blu-ray is offering. But the Blu-ray version is also the rated version so yeah.
 
I'll be holding out on the first Saw on account that Lions Gate totally screwed up that release. But from what they say about Saw II by including the special features and being the Uncut version, I think I'll definitely and wait for Lions Gate to re-release the first one.
 
hippie, you need both Narnia's on Blu-ray, they are amazing in the technical department.
