Studios have been multi-dipping since the LaserDisc days, and they'll keep doing it until the end of time. They even do it on PPV movies. They'll release the initial movie-only version, then later they'll have a version with pop-up trivia that plays along with the movie. <br><br>My question is: How good is the PiP track? If it's really excellent I might consider selling my copy of 300 and getting the new one.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mr. E]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 26th 2008 11:57AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Warner bringing 300 (again), JFK and Casablanca to Blu-ray this fall]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/26/warner-bringing-300-again-jfk-and-casablanca-to-blu-ray-this/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/26/warner-bringing-300-again-jfk-and-casablanca-to-blu-ray-this/</guid><description><![CDATA[Mr. E,  The PiP track is really cool.  You see how everything looked before any special effects were added.  It goes a long way in explaining what they did, and how they did it to get the final picture.  And seeing it next to the finished product makes it easy to compare the two.  The coolest PiP feature I've seen in my HD DVD collection.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[EvilWaterman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 26th 2008 3:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Warner bringing 300 (again), JFK and Casablanca to Blu-ray this fall]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/26/warner-bringing-300-again-jfk-and-casablanca-to-blu-ray-this/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/26/warner-bringing-300-again-jfk-and-casablanca-to-blu-ray-this/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks EvilWaterman!

If it hits 100k+ sold this year, that's a pretty good indication that the extras are important to some people. If it can't break 50k? That's proof it doesn't matter. <br><br>I say "this year" because I don't know if this version is truly "limited" or if it's actually going to replace the other version, and if it does, a person wanting 300 wouldn't have a choice but to buy this version. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[h0mi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 27th 2008 1:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Warner bringing 300 (again), JFK and Casablanca to Blu-ray this fall]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/26/warner-bringing-300-again-jfk-and-casablanca-to-blu-ray-this/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/26/warner-bringing-300-again-jfk-and-casablanca-to-blu-ray-this/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't have a problem with re-releases, but I hope they clean up that swarm of bees graininess on the new release.

The studios have been doing this with standard DVD for years!  First a bare-bones edition to get it in stores as soon as possible.  Then the Collector's/Director's Cut edition with added footage and bonus material.  Then the Super Deluxe edition with the same added footage but new extras.  Then the You Can't Live Without This Edition with every single piece of film and video ever shot spread across two or three disks.  So let's not start pointing fingers at the BD folks, because guess what?  They're the same people at the studios who have done this to you with standard DVDs as well.  It's a business.  They will find new way to re-sell their product.  You expect them to just put out one video and call it a day?  Grow up.  Warners is not holding a gun to your head and forcing you to re-buy 300, and besides, those early disks you have to figure will be reissued to include features that previously weren't available in the Profile 1.0 configuration, just like anyone who bought a Profile 1.0 player is either going to want to upgrade or not, but no one is forcing the issue on you!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lucyfan62]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 26th 2008 11:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Warner bringing 300 (again), JFK and Casablanca to Blu-ray this fall]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/26/warner-bringing-300-again-jfk-and-casablanca-to-blu-ray-this/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/26/warner-bringing-300-again-jfk-and-casablanca-to-blu-ray-this/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, I might rent it and watch the PiP and what ever else they might throw in to not get bashed with Negative PR when it re-releases.<br><br>If it really is all that I might upgrade.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mr_Fizzlepop]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 26th 2008 3:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Warner bringing 300 (again), JFK and Casablanca to Blu-ray this fall]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/26/warner-bringing-300-again-jfk-and-casablanca-to-blu-ray-this/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/26/warner-bringing-300-again-jfk-and-casablanca-to-blu-ray-this/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good thing I waited on buying 300 on Blu-ray.
