Alleviating the scarcity of 3D Blu-ray titles at retail, Warner Home Video has announced that on November 16 it will release six 3D BDs unfettered by exclusive hardware bundles:
Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (WHV's first 3D day-and-date title),
Clash of the Titans,
The Polar Express, and the IMAX documentaries
Deep Sea (previously Sony-exclusive),
Space Station (previously bundled with LG hardware overseas) and
Under the Sea (previously LG-exclusive).
"This is an exciting time in the industry and we are thrilled to be a part of this evolution in home entertainment," said Dorinda Marticorena, SVP of worldwide marketing and high-def. "As sales of Blu-ray 3D hardware increase during the holidays, we wanted to ensure that consumers have access to a diverse selection of 3D content, not attached to an exclusive bundle, which will showcase the amazing possibilities of this brilliant new format – and this is just the beginning.
All these 3D Blu-ray releases will include 2D BD versions of the films.
Clash and
Cats & Dogs 2 will come in BD/DVD/Digital Copy combo packs. The latter will include as a bonus "Coyote Falls," a new
Looney Tunes short - animated in 3D.
Suggested retail price is $44.95 for each BD.
