Anyway, I am probably going to get Cars. Eventually. With my PS3! 
I don't think technically they do need 2 discs. A 50G Blu Ray disc can, in theory, hold around 8 hours of HD content. That should be enough for Cars and it's supplements at least, if not the Pirates films (which after all, only have about 6-7 hours of footage on the current releases). I doubt all of the bonus footage will be in HD anyway, meaning in theory another 5-6 hours could possibly be put on. (If everything was in SD, a BD50 can hold 23 hours of content!)myr_heille wrote:It sounds veryyyyy strange to me that even with Blu-Ray incredible storage capacity those releases need 2 discs
That's what I think too. We are used to 2-disc DVDs being far superior. Anyway, I don't care so much, as long as the price isn't too high "just to make the individual feel better". As of now Blu-Rays Discs price seem reasonable so let's hope it stays the same.2099net wrote:However, 2 disc sets sound better. They make the individual feel that they are getting a better deal.

However, 2 disc sets sound better. They make the individual feel that they are getting a better deal.

Among these: Curse of the Black Pearl will include the ability to select items of interest while watching the film, thus programming your own documentary to watch after the film, while Dead Man's Chest will enable you to play a game Liar's Dice with characters from the film. Both discs will be hosted by Jolly Roger, similar to the Magic Mirror host for the Snow White: Platinum Edition DVD. Both films will be encoded in AVC and will feature Uncompressed PCM 5.1 audio.
