I have to say, that price is a lot better than the I was expecting. The online discount (which should bring it to under $70) should make it even better. The price combined with the new features should render the HD DVD version useless (as a value point) for all but the diehards.

Great extras! This is in my "top 5 wish list" when it comes to Blu-ray.
While I would have purchased this title even with Dolby True HD, it is really nice to see that it will get a DTS-HD MA track. More importantly I am glad to see it is being released on Blu-ray in 08' instead of 09' or 2010. This is another title that is high up on my list along with the James Bond films, Saving Private Ryan, Back To The Future, Gladiator, Jurassic Park and Star Wars among other titles as well.
I purposefully held off on buying the SD version and I can not wait for the Blu-ray verion to be released.
