One Day, Two Rants (or… They Can Take My Discs When They Pry Them from My Cold Dead Hands!)

That’s right. Two Rants… and for the price of one. (Free!)

So here’s Rant #1: Disney has just issued their official press release for Oz: The Great and Powerful. We’ve now confirmed that there are set to be FOUR physical product SKUs: Blu-ray/DVD Combo with Digital Copy (SRP $44.99), Blu-ray with Digital Copy (SRP $39.99), DVD with Digital Copy (SRP $29.99)… and Blu-ray 3D with Digital Copy (SRP $44.99). And it does appear that the Blu-ray-3D package contains no 2D Blu-ray Disc. At a $44.99 price point. That’s insane. Now, if you have a Blu-ray 3D player, you CAN apparently choose to watch only 2D (the player simply shows you the picture information intended for only one eye), but we believe this only works on 3D-ready players. Even if you’re a Blu-ray 3D fan – and I know there are a surprising number of you guys out there because I hear from you – who in the world would want to spend $44.99 to only get a Blu-ray 3D-compatible version? What if you want to watch the film in another room in the house that doesn’t have 3D? What kind of value does Disney think they’re giving the Blu-ray consumer? Hell, a Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray Combo with no DVD would have been a smarter option for most Blu-ray fans. Judging by the reaction we’re already hearing from readers via e-mail and online, this move is about as popular with BD consumers as a lead balloon.
