Monsters Vs Aliens 3D Blu-ray only $349

[j_garcia]

It includes 2 sets of 3D glasses, though those glasses are specific to a particular group of Samsung TVs it seems, as this is a "3D starter kit", which also means you need the 3D capable TV

...the movie the first ever feature to be generated in stereoscopic 3D from the start rather than filmed or, as the case may be in the digital realm, rendered in a traditional 2D landscape and only after the fact tweaked for 3D viewing.

it comes complete without lossless audio too... wtf are they thinking putting a lossy audio track on there, when the regular 2d blu ray has a superb lossless track.

 

[j_garcia]

3D video probably takes up too much room.

 

[GlocksRock]

I doubt it takes up that much more room, lossless audio is just an extension of the lossy track. They should add a slight bit more compression then if that is the case, or do without of some extras that nobody really cares about anyway.

 

[j_garcia]

They already mentioned in the article that extras would probably need to be pushed to a second disc for most releases (though they didn't really say why, size presumably), though with the new 100G BDXL discs that may not be an issue. The stereoscopic video probably does take up a lot more room, but I wouldn't think it would be so much that they couldn't include a lossless track.

Why is no one saying "holy sh*t, $349!" You can by a receiver for the cost of that!

 

[j_garcia]

Because the included glasses are most of that cost, not the movie. I just put that in the title becasue it sounded ridiculous

The TrueHD track on the original release is quite good.
