300 (Blu-ray) | = |
In terms of content, this appears to be the same BD as was released in the US. It even has the US anti-piracy splash screen and the US R-Rating appear when the BD is loaded. 300 has also been released on HD-DVD, with a few additional extras, most notably, a blue-screen Picture-in-Picture extra, which allows viewers to simultaneously watch the blue-screen and final versions of 300, with an audio commentary by director, Zack Snyder. There is also a simple game using your remote, and some Internet-based extras, such as 300 fan sites (to share your favourite scenes), and online shopping, via your HD-DVD player, for 300 film merchandise. With over a quarter of a million BD and HD-DVD copies sold in just the first few days, Warner Home Video recently announced that 300 has become the fastest selling high definition movie ever. As Warner Home Video supports both high definition formats, it is disappointing that the BD has missed out on the PiP extra, especially as a Blu-ray disc has more storage capacity than a HD-DVD disc, and according to US sales figures, the BD has outsold the HD-DVD almost 2:1 in sales. |
