I don't know, it probably should've been released on BD back in 2008, when the DVD came out because it was derived from a new digital transfer. I watched the iTunes HD digital a couple of years ago and thought it looked good. I was going to listen to the same audio commentary used on the DVD...
If true then I'm in no hurry to buy this disc because I purchased the iTunes HD digital a couple of years ago for $4.99. I'll wait until there is a Criterion or B&N sale this summer.
