This is an ok release, Kingdom of Heaven, and behind enemy lines should be good movies to show off blu ray capability. The whole dual layer thing is pointless, 25GB is fine for a movie encoded in VC-1 or Mpeg-4, unless its really long like kingdom of heaven or they want to put on alot of extras. Its nice to see the DTSHD also, as this is also more effiecient than the full LPCM that has been on sony discs. Now in terms of price, if these movies actually sell for $40, then I wouldnt buy one of them. Blu ray just isnt marketing itself well, $1000 for a player and $40 per movie, not worth the jump from the Denon 3910 I already own. This is the reason, I already own the HDDVD player, at $450 I get HD and it does very well with standard DVDs, almost as well as my Denon.
