Universal Studios In an industry first, Universal Studios Home
Entertainment announced today the introduction of "groundbreaking"
dual-format discs containing both Blu-ray and DVD versions of some
of the studio's most iconic films. The new "flipper" discs will
launch on January 19, 2010 with the spy thrillers 'The Bourne
Identity', 'The Bourne Supremacy' and 'The Bourne Ultimatum',
premiering in the US as individually packaged Blu-ray discs (see
blu-ray.com, November 29).
According to Universal, this makes it "ideal" for anyone planning
to upgrade to Blu-ray at a future date as well as current owners of
both Blu-ray and DVD systems. Each side of Universal's flipper
discs includes the entire movie as well as all available bonus
features.
"Universal's flipper discs are the perfect way for consumers to
future-proof their collections while still enjoying their favorite
movies on all their existing DVD players," said Craig Kornblau,
President of Universal Studios Home Entertainment. "The flipper
disc offers an easy way for viewers to convert to Blu-ray now or at
any time in the future, confident in the fact they will be able to
experience their home entertainment purchases in the highest
quality picture and sound when they do."
The disc specifications for the 'Bourne' films list the discs as
"BD-59", which indicates that they would be dual-layered on both
the BD and DVD sides.
Flipper BD/DVD discs were tested in the early days of Blu-ray, but
they were deemed impractical. It is unknown what development has
made them possible now, and if any other company has worked in the
development.
In 2006-2008, when Universal supported HD DVD exclusively, they
were the major studio that most often went for combo editions,
using it for most of its new releases and even some catalog
titles.
Was Haltet ihr davon ? ich finde diese Idee irgendwie dumm :eek:
