Launch date for Blu-ray; Meet the $40 movie.

The eight Sony movies that will usher in Blu-ray are: 50 First Dates, The Fifth Element, Hitch, House of Flying Daggers, A Knight’s Tale, The Last Waltz (MGM), Resident Evil Apocalypse and XXX. Three weeks later, on June 13, six additional titles will be released: Kung Fu Hustle, Legends of the Fall, Robocop (MGM), Stealth, Species (MGM), SWAT and Terminator (MGM). Other studios are currently preparing to announce their own launch titles.

I personally would love to see how The Fifth Element looks on Blue-Ray, and now it’s only a matter of time. Really though… who wants to pay almost $40 for a single movie? Check out the full article at Ars Technica.
