Ok, well some quick news. The HD version WILL be a blu-ray version. Now i know some will moan that they don't have a blu-ray burner, but this isn't really an issue as you can just rip the main movie m2ts file and this will play on pc's and media players, or for better compatibility use tsmuxer to remux the m2ts to a ts file and this will play on almost anything. Now i do have my reasons for this which i will explain:
There will be a real 3D featurette that i want to add to the special features, but this would be most likely be exclusive to the HD blu-ray version. Now this won't be the old red/cyan anaglyph type but proper 3D. You will be able to see some behind the scenes footage filmed in 3d, including all of the models and the Wampa. Now why have i decided to do this, you might ask? well i've just had some great news (which i really needed since my dad has now suddenly caught pneumonia in hospital after having his operation last week). I went to the gadget show live at the NEC on wednesday with my daughter and we decided to enter as many of the draws etc that were there. Well today i have just had a phone call to say that i have won one of them: a Samsung 46" 3DTV, 4 extra pairs of glasses, 3D blu-ray player plus a fuji W3 real 3D camera with 3d hd video support.
So i might as well use this new technology, so blu-ray it is. Now i can put 3 versions of this featurette on the blu-ray so everyone will be happy: a real 3d version, anaglyph red/cyan version and standard 2d version
Oh yeh, and anyone who uses facebook please don't mention this on there as i'm going to keep this a secret from my kids until i have received them and everything is set up. I want to give them a surprise.
