This classic comedy action flick and its not so classic sequel are coming out on Blu-ray October 14th from Fox. You too will be able to watch our heroes get to ‘the heart’ in practical Italian shoes for $39.98 SRP a piece. Looks like the extra material is recycled from previous releases so I’m not sure paying a premium would be worth it for these films (especially for Jewel). But lets have a look at the specs anyway:
You see the irony here, although Fox screwed up the airing and killed the show almost right away they seem to be milking this one aren’t they. The cult hit Firefly will be coming out on Blu-ray November 11th. So all you browncoats out there get ready to fork over $89.98 for the swiftly canceled series. Even I did not get a chance to see what the hubub was about, so this may be it.

Whoa, even that’s a bit much for a wiseguy. What else do you get for these kind of bones?
Yeah baby! You read that right, our favorite spy spoof series from Mike Myers is coming to Blu-ray on December 2nd in the Austin Powers Collection: Shagadelic Edition, Loaded With Extra Mojo box set. What? No DVD version? It will be priced at the oh so cheap for a back catalog title $74.98 SRP. Really, the only one worth seeing is the original can’t they split this one up also? Not sure what the benefit of Blu-ray will have with these films but I suppose it is here to stay. Read on for more specs:
Yes, even though it just came out last year, Warners is releasing 300 yet again in an almost identical version with a new 3rd disc and some gimmicks on November 18th. According to the press release supplies will be limited, whatever that means. In addition to the new content, “there is a bonus Digital Copy of the film, a 52-page hardcover art book with a personal message from Snyder, a lucite display with motion film image and six collectible photo cards.” All this for $49.92 SRP, and no sign of the Blu-ray version either, at least for this incarnation.

Play it again Sam..and again..and again. For you fans of this classic Bogart film, Warner Bros is pulling no punches and giving you the ultimate package for this film in three collectors editions on December 2nd. This will mark its debut on blu-ray as well as DVD in a new Ultimate Collectors Edition. The previously released two disc special edition is also being refreshed for this date. To entice you to pick up this disc, Warners is throwing in some extra stuff (kind of like the Christmas Story set) that will sit on your shelf taking up valuable space. “The premium giftset is elegantly boxed in an intricate laser-cut Moroccan design and will include such collectibles as replicas of actual props (Victor Laszlo’s “Letter of Transit”) as well as a number of Warner studio documents (an executive’s letter commanding a new PR image for Bogart from gangster to romantic lead; a note from producer Hal Wallis re-titling the film to Casablanca; and a memo from Wallis to Jack Warner strongly urging casting Bogart over George Raft). The DVD set will also contain a branded passport holder, luggage tag, photo book and a mail-in offer for a reproduction of the original movie poster. ” This will cost you $59.98 SRP for the DVD and $64.99 SRP for the Blu-ray of course. Check out what else you get for this kind of money:

Pricing has been set at $34.99 SRP for Blu-ray and $20.97 SRP on DVD.
