[AVRevForum.com]

Warner Bros. finally ends the long awaited announcement for the release of the the Ultimate Matrix Collection on Blu-ray. Although, fans must wait a bit longer for the October 14th release date. Having been one of the largest successes on the HD DVD, the Blu-ray release will surely be a montrous hit.

The Blu-ray release of The Ultimate Matrix Collection will replicate the full seven discs present in the HD DVD release. There has been no announcement on a Blu-ray release of the Complete Matrix Trilogy. The full supplement package of the HD DVD release are expected on the Blu-ray, although no official specifications have been released at this time. Early details report that the Blu-ray collection will have about 35 hours of extras and In-Movie Experience picture-in-picture commentaries for all three films.

Additionally, there has been a confirmed upgrade. The Animatrix will be present on the Blu-ray and upgraded to full 1080p, unlike the HD DVD counterpart. Stay tuned for more details.

Well, I own the HD DVD Matrix trilogy, and saw all three in the theaters, I bought it for sport and as I had a gift certificate that needed to be used.

The only one of these worth watching again is the first one, if you think about it, after that they all were BS as by the end of the first one Neo had all the power to control the Matrix, but then he just keeps losing it???

What gives Cohen boys??

Why is Warner only getting to this now for BD? They surely could have offered it over a year ago, day and date with the HD-DVD collection.

What are these bean counters thinking??? Imagine losing a whole years worth of sale on that title alone. What gives, Warner? And Paramount, for that matter!

Allegedly, there was some sort of issue with the interactive features on Blu-Ray. I, for one, am glad they waited, because now we're getting The Animatrix in 1080p, as it should have been in the first place.
