Universal bringing Serenity to Blu-ray with upgrades and extras

Well over two years ago, Universal hit a home run with its decision to release Serenity on HD DVD. Now, the studio is finally giving Blu-ray aficionados the privilege of buying the film, and it's even tossing in a few nice upgrades to boot. Given that this title would likely sell on Blu even without any extras, we appreciate the touchups. Those who take the plunge will be treated to a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track, a 2.35:1 1080p video transfer, BD-Live support and a whole slew of bonus features that can't all be listed in this space. Make sure you don't spend all of that holiday cash before December 25th, as you'll need $29.98 (MSRP) in order to snatch this one up on December 30th.

random comment: Anyone notice the resemblance to Mal character and the Cold War Kids lead singer? Recently noticed on Tonight Show (Cold War Kids)

that isn't that bad of a price(for blu-ray)...it's the suggested retail, so, you know as soon as it hits amazon it will most likely be a little lower than that...

Uh, this is not a DVD. It's a Blu-ray disc, which is a new high definition video format that delivers much better picture and sound. You must be new... ;)

I have this on HD-DVD for a couple of years, I will replace with BD for the Lossless track.

This movie looked awesome on HD DVD. I would probably upgrade had they gone with TrueHD. My Blu-ray player can't decode DTS-MA so I'll just stick with the HD DVD for now.

This is gonna be the best BD, ever!
