Prince in High-Def!!! 
Warner to Rock Blu-ray, HD DVD with 'Purple Rain,' 'Out for Justice' Fri Jun 01, 2007 at 12:01 AM ET Tags: Disc Announcements, Warner (all tags) Warner Home Video has officially announced catalog faves 'Purple Rain' and 'Out for Justice' will both Blu-ray and HD DVD this July. Though a rather bizarre pairing of rock legend Prince and action-meister Steven Seagal, Warner says both titles will debut on July 24. The Blu-ray and HD DVD versions of each will feature identical specs and extras, including 1080p/VC-1 transfers and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround tracks (at 640kbps). Mirroring its standard-def DVD counterpart, 'Out for Justice' will include only the film's theatrical trailer, while 'Purple Rain' will be packed with three retrospective featurettes, eight music videos and classic MTV coverage of the movie's 1984 premiere party. Warner has set a list price of $28.99 apiece. We've added 'Purple Rain' and 'Out for Justice' to our Blu-ray Release Schedule and HD DVD Release Schedule, under July 24. Watch for box art to be unveiled in the coming days. http://bluray.highdefdige...ustice/672 [Edited 5/31/07 21:47pm] | |

I'm going to pass on another PR unless they decide to release the original X rated version.  | |

[/color]Well, there's no mystery on what you're getting. If Warner does a good job on the HD transfer that shit is going to look incredible! I'm definitely upgrading | |

The audio work they did on the 20th anniversary disc made me sick. And I don't suppose they intend to fix it any time soon... "You've got a million dollar smile, but you can't buy time...

Very cool. I still don't know which 1080p format/player I'm going with yet. Hat's off to Warner's for releasing it in both formats.
The porn industry(seriously) will be deciding which format will become the standard by the end of this year, as they did with VHS/Beta. I guess that I can wait it out a few more months. My instinct tells me that HD-DVD will be the surprise, underdog winner of the format war. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

i don't have any copy of it- so i might get it. after a while, when the price goes down 4 sure. maybe someone could write a review for the others abt the Bluray quality? "So shall it be written, so shall it be sung..."  | |

NY Times has an article today about how the porn business is way down due to the Internet. No one wants to buy what they can get for free. | |

It's only if you know how to get the bootleg stuff downloaded, otherwise online movies cost money, porn or otherwise. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

Anyone can get those--it's much harder to get full movies and more complicated, not that I have such problems. | |

i hope they bring GRAFFITI BRIDGE and UNDER THE CHERRY MOON..
hmmm..i wonder how UNDER THE CHERRY MOON is going to look like even though its in black and white. it'll be the first black and white in HI DEF. SOME PEOPLE--THOSE WHO THINK IT'S EVER THEIR PLACE TO CHANGE SOMEONE--WILL FIND NEW "FAULTS" WHEN OLD ONES GET "FIXED".
