Bastards at Paramount should have released this on HD DVD and Blu-Ray as well...

Freakin' Lucas keeps cashing in on the same movies over and over again. I have three sets of the original Star Wars Trilogy because of that bast***, lol. You know that after he makes bunches and bunches of money he will release the Blu Ray version. I already have the VHS and DVD trilogy of Indy. I'm not falling for his "extra features" mumbo jumbo. When he releases Hi Def that will be a different story since they are beautifully remastered. For now, my DVDs look awesome upconverted. Hard to believe that the first movie is that old when it looks that good.

Agreed. I find it extremely hard to believe there won't be day and date Blu Ray releases of these. The only possible way it makes sense is if all four films are coming to hi def around Christmas. These movies on BD would be HUGE sellers unless I miss my guess.

Extras not worth it, specially because of no commentary...

Spielberg has never done a commentary, so I don't expect one from him on any release, even something like Schindler's List.

Paramount will release the new Indiana Jones movie on May 22. It only makes sense for them to capitalize on that opening by re-releasing the previous three movies for the first time individually.

However, since they have not announced any Blu-ray titles yet and probably aren't sure when they will announce them, we'll have to wait and see when the Indy films come to BD. Surely, they will come, though, if at the latest about the time Paramount release the newest Indy film to DVD, probably in the fall.

Yup, I totally agree...Lucas is a greedy bastard. He IS however a smart businessman, even if he isn't consumer friendly. I refuse to buy any of his boxsets until they are out on HD.

The guy is such an ass, he'll probably wait until Blu Ray is being replaced by some other future format before he releases in HD. I remember DVD was out for YEARS and he was still putting out crap VHS Star Wars box sets instead of DVD.

Exactly Bosshog, he rereleased vhs versions for so long that we had to wait forever for the dvds. I love his movies but his money making milking mayhem has to end. Hes pillaging his fan's wallets. Yes, I do understand that its smart business but come on!! Make the HD disks while the format is still around, lol.
