Lucas & Spielberg Want (More of) Your Money; Indiana Jones Blu-Ray Set Coming
Wed, February 29, 2012 
This fall, "Adventure" and "Shameless Format Whoring" have a brand-new name: Indiana Jones. Paramount Pictures and Lucasfilm have announced all four films will be released in The Complete Indiana Jones Blu-Ray Collection:
"The man with the hat is back – and looking better than ever! The world’s favorite globe-trotting archaeologist is, at long last, embarking on his greatest adventure – when 'The Complete Indiana Jones Blu-ray Collection' comes to Blu-ray Disc from Lucasfilm Ltd. and Paramount Home Media Distribution. The Complete Indiana Jones Blu-ray Collection will be excavated in the fall of 2012 and will include all four of Indy’s thrilling adventures, using the highest possible high definition picture and audio presentation – along with a 'best of' collection of documentaries, interviews, featurettes and a few new surprises."
The picture and sound will be up to date quality and that's great (Both Phil and Robert have lectured me about how much I need to buy a Blu-Ray player ASAP). But my wallet isn't exactly overflowing with Benjamins and "a few new surprises" better translate to something really worth my, and that of average Joes, money, like a Spielberg/Lucas/Ford commentary track (Which will never happen, sadly) or deleted scenes.
Raiders of the Lost Ark remains one of my top-five favorite films, and the one of the reasons I fell in love with movies as a little kid. As a matter of fact, it won't be too long till I introduce my nephew (Age 21 months) to it.

Odd that this news comes out, because I've been thinking of selling my old DVD box set (circa 2003) over the past few days. Don't like the idea of being forced to buy "Kingdom of the Crystal Cluster Fuck", but hopefully the films themselves will be the way they were when originally released... hopefully.
