Fidelity to the source should always be the goal for Blu-ray releases.

We should probably see more releases by the year's end than just the remaining four titles. CC |

| For anyone that has no preference or doesn't know which title to select, please pick Kwaidan. In addition to being a great film, it will look great in HD. |

I see this as a more of a price cut for the DVDs than a price increase for the BDs. Now, if a BD goes over $39.95 when the DVD stays at $39.95 I'd agree that it's going back on their word. Considering I expected Criterion BDs to be $49.95-$59.95 before they first announced them I'm not complaining, personally (especially since the discount on Amazon.com regularly brings the price down to $25).

is currently $19.99, the same price as for the DVD pre-order - even though Amazon has the higher MSRP listed for the BD.
