    Blackhawk Down - R1 DVD Rumor!

    Rumor-mongering here, but on two other forums and also in the January Widescreen Review it's going around that Columbia Studios officials say that they plan to release Special Edition DVDs similar the Superbit DVDs released by Sony, and Blackhawk Down will be the pilot or at least one of the first! In other words - maximized video bandwidth along with DTS and DD 5.1 tracks on disc 1 and loads of extras on disc 2.

    Haven't heard a target date yet, darn it.

    Oh man, I hope it happens!

    Cool. But I thought Sony owns Columbia. So it sounds like they are basically going straight to Superbit.

      I think you're right - I didn't make the connection. D'oh!

        Yep. Sony owns Columbia. Bought them quite a few years ago.

          Everything new should be at high bit rate on one disc (widescreen,of course) and extras on 2nd disc. As for Blackhawk Down, I will buy it, Superbit or no Superbit.

            Blackhawk Down - From One Of The Pilots!
            by David Meek
            Hi all. I ran across this post and thought it would be a nice addition to the review thread on Black Hawk Down posted earlier. Gerry Izzo, was a pilot of one of the surviving Black Hawks and this is his take on the film, with lots of info on the actual battle.

            Guilty pleasures or just plain FUN DVDs?
            by Kevin P
            After going through the "favorite" or "best" movies thread, I thought I'd start this one to list movies that probably aren't destined to be classics but are fun DVDs that you just have to watch again and again!

            Here's my nominations:

            I've seen the picture of the DVD cover on one of the recent issues of Home Theater Magazine with their top 100 DVDs of all time that they did. I've checked the SuperBit website and it's not posted there, I've looked at all the major chain retailers that has a BIG selection of DVDs, including most of...

            There's a lot of discussion on this particular subject at a lot of the other sites.The general concensus seems to be that there is a definite improvement in picture and audio. I can attest to this after watching my weekend purchase of the Fifth Element.Now, do we all go out and start replacing regular...

            by Adz
            Not sure if this was posted anywhere but last week BestBuy put all its Superbit DVDs on sale for (USD) $10. All of them. I was there yesterday and at least my store has extended the sale indefinitely. They even have a special/impressive Superbit rack in that brushed aluminum color at the front of...
