Perhaps it is coming out with the Blu Ray release next month... At least I hope it is, otherwise I will need to import it from Amazon UK.

I was thinking the same thing (both about the blu-ray duel release and having to import it). I'm just not so keen on importing it from the UK as their certification logo's are so ugly!

Thought folks might be interested in my review of High School Musical 2: Extended Dance Edition Blu-ray for Region B (Aus).

http://www.dvdbits.com/reviews.asp?id=3478

It seems to be a bit different to the Extended Edition Blu that came out in the US last year.

Enjoy!

Buena Vista Home Entertainment have removed the following titles again:
It's A Small World Of Fun Volume 1
It's A Small World Of Fun Volume 2

I have to wonder what is taking so long with these titles, I was looking forward to several of the shorts included.

Don't expect to find Sleeping Beauty on Blu Ray at any Sanity, Virgin or HMV store. They didn't realise it was coming out and haven't ordered any for their stores Australia wide. EzyDVD is apparently having distributor delays and my local JB Hi-Fi had no idea what I was talking about.

Thankfully Big W had copies in stock! I hate shopping their because of their dreadful customer service but I had no choice! The picture quality is amazing! You would never know this movie was 50 years old!

Wall-E - Blu-Ray

Unfortunately, Eco-Pack usually means one thing...

slipcovers. :x

EzyDVD had been advertising The Tinker Bell Movie as Eco-Friendly packaging, but it is in fact another name for "slipcover"

That's not a typo- you're really getting HM Season 2 already? It stinks that it's being released in parts, but I'm guiessing that Season 1 is selling well, then! I hope we get this in Region 1, as well!

I work in a DVD store and I can tell you we've sold HUGE quantities of Season 1 so I'm not surprised they're rushing Season 2 out. Australia often gets shows split into parts so that's nothing new. I'd say the US release will be a little later but probably a full season.

Good to see a date for HSM3 as well. Now I can tell a date to the billion parents coming in and asking for it!
