Never mind the breathtaking episodes of Planet Earth or the interactive features for Sleeping Beauty. THIS is the perfect reason for anyone to finally upgrade to Blu-Ray. :P

DVDTimes has the details...

Wow, a Fox release that actually contains more than the DVD counterpart? Color me shocked. The last four months of this year are going to make me go bankrupt. There are just too many great releases coming out.
