Excellent news.


Queue up the following standard gripes:
  • Oh no! not the book packaging again
  • No lossless = no sale
  • It'll have DNR to please the grain haters
  • Was it a 4k scan? if so not good enough - it should be 8k because 8 is higher than 4.
  • $35 for a catalog title? Are they nuts?

It gets even funnier if you imagine Nigel Tufnel saying it.

would have been great to have a dvd size replica of the coffee table book from
the laser special edition.

You hit that one out of the ballpark.

This is great news. Along similar lines: About a year ago, I remember hearing that 'Amadeus' was tentatively scheduled for a January 08 release. Given the format shake-out, I wonder what's the current status. Both 'Amadeus' and 'Cuckoo's Nest' were fine special editions in SD, so I assume they'll be likewise in BD. Seems to me, both of these would have been naturals for the "book" editions, given the custom cases featured in SD.

I wonder if Warner is looking at having both cuts of Amadeus for the BD. I hope so. if that's the case it may be a bit longer until that gets released as compared to this release of Cuckoo's Nest.
