Re: Warner: JFK, Casablanca, 300...
Casablanca's nice. The 300 news annoys me a bit since Warners is usually pretty solid with not double dipping on newer titles, but I understand that for the first release the technology wasn't quite there to include everything.

Rumors started already during the "war"..

Re: Warner: JFK, Casablanca, 300...
But that doesn't invalidate the fact that for the BD of 300 to match the HD DVD in features, Profile 2.0 was required--so either WB holds back 300 from BD altogether (as it did for some catalogue titles and Batman Begins) or it goes with a "stripped down" BD at first and a fully loaded one later when Profile 2.0 is available. I wasn't checking HDM news when Batman Begins came out but I imagine there was something of an outcry that no BD was released at the time. Perhaps WB wanted to avoid something similar?

Re: Warner: JFK, Casablanca, 300...
Ohhh JFK.. This is going to be so good
hopefully it´ll have uncompressed audio. The sound is great on the dvd so an upgrade to that would be very nice.
And 300, I checked out the blu-ray this monday and there was compression artefacts everywhere. Thank you hd-dvd. I look forward to the new edition and hope that it gets a new transfer.

Re: Warner: JFK, Casablanca, 300...
I'll be buying Casablanca the day it hits the stores. Been a long wait.
(Warners, I'm also ready to buy The Adventures of Robin Hood and The Maltese Falcon the day they come out. And North By Northwest, too.)
