I'm definitely going to get Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid on Blu. Hopefully it will include the extras from the current release.

Re: Mrs. Doubtfire & Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid Blu-rays - 5/13


I'd buy both without blinking if I could count on Fox to incorporate the copious extras from the respective DVD releases (yes, I'm one of the lucky ones who's had the Behind-the-Seams edition of MRS. DOUBTFIRE since last year) but, since they never seem to, it'll likely be another pass for me...

Fox has been including most, if not all DVD extras on their BD releases since Fall '07 (save those titles that were originally scheduled for before that). It's MGM who has yet to port over extras.
