Full Specs in for ‘Spider-Man: High-Def Trilogy’ Blu-ray

August 27, 2007 | Author: play-beyond | Filed under: Blu-Ray

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has revealed full specs for its highly-anticipated ‘Spider-Man: The High-Def Trilogy,’ but they may be something of a letdown for fans of the first two films in the franchise. As announced earlier this month, Sony plans to issue all three Spider-Man movies in a special Blu-ray box set on October 30.

But while the box set will roll out the red carpet for ‘Spider-Man 3,’ featuring identical specs to the concurrently-released stand-alone Blu-ray edition of the movie (which includes a bonus disc filled with extras, plus PCM 5.1 surround and Dolby TrueHD audio tracks), the first two Spider-Man flicks will come significantly less feature-packed.

Neither ‘Spider-Man’ nor ‘Spider-Man 2′ will include any of the bonus features from their original DVD releases, and — in a first for Sony — neither will include support for PCM audio. Instead, both ‘Spider-Man’ and ‘Spider-Man 2′ will contain Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround tracks only.

For high-def fans of ‘Spider-Man 2,’ however, all is not lost. The ‘High-Def Trilogy’ will contain both the theatrical version of the sequel and ‘Spider-Man 2.1,’ an extended version of the film that was subsequently released on video. Viewers will be able to choose each seamlessly via the Blu-ray format’s branching technology for uninterrupted playback.

Sony has set a $99.98 list price for the box set.
