View profile »The 400 Blows is a catalog release while The Last Metro is new to the Criterion collection and will be released on 2-disc DVD at the same time. Once again the Blu-ray releases are priced the same as the DVD versions.
Thanks Criterion!

What do you guys think of these bluray Criterions so far? Are they worthy or should we just stick with the DVD versions?

View profile »The bonus features seem to be the same as the DVD releases but they do often pack all the features from a 2-disc DVD set onto one BD.
The only complaint I have if that they seem to have re-used the DD tracks from the DVDs rather than an uncompressed or DTS-MA encode. But these two latest titles are supposed to be uncompressed I believe.
Also you have to commend them for not charging a premium for BD. Yes their DVDs are already pricey but I'm sure they could have priced the Blu-ray releases higher and Criterion fans would have paid it. Instead they decided to price them the same and I think that is a nice gesture to us regular Criterion buyers.
