Pixar's Up DVD and Monsters Inc Blu-ray

They are finally going to be out on discs on 10 Nov 2009.

Pixar's Up is also going to be available in Blu-ray, which is the version I'm getting. There are 4 discs! I can't wait to watch the behind-the-scenes documentaries — always my favourite part of the disc.

The DVD version has only 1 disc which features two shorts, Dug's Special Mission and Partly Cloudy. There is a two-disc edition but the second disc holds only the digital copy.

Looks like Disney is trying to push people — maybe more of Pixar fans — over to Blu-ray. Either that or they are trying to piss off Pixar fans who don't have a Blu-ray player. It's probably more of the latter. They can spend the effort to create a digital copy DVD but not another disc with the behind-the-scenes documentary. It sounds pretty ridiculous to me. If I don't already have a Blu-ray player, I will be very unhappy.

Monster's Inc Blu-ray is also coming out on the same day, after lagging behind the Japanese release for a few months. It seems like they have added a few more documentaries on the discs. Awesome!

28 Oct update: Amazon's taking $10 off if you get both Up and Monsters Inc Blu-rays together.

You can check out more details on the disc releases on Amazon. It's coming out in US and Canada first.

and most of the specials are in sd anyway! so there is no reason to piss off anyone.
(but since dvds are dirt cheap nowadays i can see why they are pushing for the insanely expensive bluray)
