CENTURY CITY, Calif. – Experience all the pranks, schemes, drugs and obscure behavior in high-definition as DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY and SUPER TROOPERS arrive onto Blu-ray Disc (BD) December 9th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY features the unrated version with all-star comedy actors including Ben Stiller (Zoolander, Tropic Thunder), Vince Vaughn (Wedding Crashers, The Break-Up), Jason Bateman (Hancock, Juno), Christine Taylor (The Wedding Singer) and Justin Long (Live Free or Die Hard). Carry on with more outlandish humor in SUPER TROOPERS when the creative comedic genius of the Broken Lizard group; Jay Chandrasekhar (Beerfest), Kevin Heffernan (The Dukes of Hazard), Paul Soter (Club Dread), Steve Lemme (Open Water) and Erik Stolhanske (The Onion Movie) star in this outrageous comedy.

DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY
Dodge, duck, dip, dive…and laugh out loud as Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller settle their differences in a winner-takes-all dodgeball competition. Under the painful tutelage of legendary ADAA champ Patches O’Houlihan (Rip Torn), Peter LaFleur (Vaughn) and his Average Joes take on the Purple Cobras, led by egomaniacal fitness guru White Goodman (Stiller). It’s an over-the-top underdog tale filled with hilarious sight gags and balls-out fun.

SUPER TROOPERS
Always looking for action, five over-enthusiastic, but under-stimulated Vermont State Troopers raise hell on the highway, keeping motorists anxiously looking in their rear view mirrors.

Hmmm.... Just going by SRP's, Dodgeball is $15 on DVD and $35 on BD; whereas a new release like (say) X-Files 2 is $30 vs. $40. I'm not opposed to paying more for HD quality, but this is excessive, especially since these titles have to be sold to customers as upgrades.

I really, really like Dodgeball, and I'll probably watch for a 3-for-2 sale in the weeks following its release, but I shouldn't have to wait for one of those to get these titles at a reasonable price.

Agreed. $35 for a catalog title is insane. I like Dodgeball and I've been meaning to check out Super Troopers, but for that price, I'll hold off for the time being.

Huge Dodgeball fan. But unless I can find it for around $20 there is no way I'm paying anywhere near MSRP for this. Blu-ray really needs to rethink its pricing strategy. When I can get the Godfather Trilogy for $61...
