now this is interesting ....

Okay... here's an interesting bit of information that leaked on the Net yesterday. The Cool Toy Review website posted shots from a Lucasfilm sales presentation that revealed the Holiday 2009 release of a second LEGO Indiana Jones video game... and the complete Indiana Jones Trilogy on Blu-ray Disc. The post was pulled down faster than you can say Lost Ark, but a few other sites still link to the URL it was at, including The Pirate Universe. We're trying to confirm this with our industry sources, so we'll let you know when we do. Lucasfilm has already let it be officially known that Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Season One is coming to Blu later this year via Warner (our sources say it will likely hit stores in November), so this would mean that Lucasfilm is embracing the format in a big way this year. Our sources have previously informed us that at least some of the Star Wars films may be on deck for Blu-ray release starting in 2010, but that's still a ways off. As is always the case with Lucasfilm news, we'll believe it all when we see the actual discs on the shelf.

-from the rumor mill at thedigitalbits.com

This is the first time they've ever mentioned that little bit about their sources saying to expect Star Wars on blu-ray next year, though I don't get why LFL would only put "some" of them out and not all six at once. I would think they'd finally give us all six movies together in one collection for the people who've been waiting so long (I mean, OOT or no OOT, it's supposed to be one big six-part movie, right?!?!?!) Yeah, I'm not giving much credence to that "some" part.

The other thing I'm seriously wondering is whether LFL will actually do everything right this time. Don't get me wrong, I hope blu-ray takes off, but how confident is LFL that they'll be able to successfully double and triple dip all over again on this brand new format?

"some" might mean just the prequels or even just II and III. since they're already digital it would be less work to bring them to blu.
